    TMNT series!

    Hey ! I just realized I can post in here now that I'm finally finished.

    Did all my TMNT images over the course of 6 months between jobs and whatever else.

    15 in all so I feel pretty good to have gotten everything out! Figured I should have them all in one place on here.

    Yupp, amazing texture work. I'm not familiar at all with the turtle universe, but your pictures all have one thing in common - they're great. The sense of depth on some of them is outstanding, and you have handled ps wicked well! Perhaps the fly and the purple turtle are my favourites.

    The lighting and the surface texture is so good that it makes me wanna touch these characters and feel the surface, just to get a sense of how they feel

    Dear God!

    These are mindblowing, man!

    Such detail. Down to the freckles on April O'Neil's skin!
    These characters have never looked so good or interesting.

    Seems like an R-rated, visceral, adult version of 'em like I've never seen before.

    I LOVE the April O'Neil pic. You even made that corny yellow jumpsuit work somehow. And her hair is just perfect.

    But I love 'em all. I could say something like that for each one of them.

    FAN-TAS-TIC!

    not only are these freaking amazing, but it's a nostalgic hit to the face ten fold... in a good way. LOVE these. I've been watching them pop up throughout the last several months on CGhub.

    cheers!

    I watched just about every one of these being drawn on your livestream and am happy you finally finished. I'll be sure to be one of the first to order a turtle poster

    Never really been a fan of the Turtles.

    But if there were books, etc done like this, I would have been.
    You make cheesy kids cartoons look like bad-ass adult comics.

    Very nicely done.

    You make cheesy kids cartoons look like bad-ass adult comics.
    The books you're looking for already exist, the original black and white TMNT series of comics from '85 had a lot more grime and was more dark and violent. Only later was it spun off into a kid friendly cartoon. Check out some of those original comics.

    And awesome work Dave, you gave their faces such character, and the painting technique is top notch.
