Splinter Pin-up

Here's another TMNT pinup I did, due out this month I believe, in Tales of the TMNT #56. My first piece in 2009 although the date says 2008.

Splinter Pinup - Rough

So I'm working on another TMNT pinup. This time I chose to do Splinter. At first I was leaning towards the typical "zen" pose for Splinter but after numerous roughs I realized I wanted to show him kicking some ass and what better bad guys for Splinter to be fighting than some Mousers.

TMNT short - "One's Shadow"

So this came out last month I believe so I figure it's okay to post the final pages. Pencils by me, inks and letters by Eric Talbot.

TMNT & an extemely cute baby.

Tales of the TMNT #48 is on stands now and it contains the short story I did the pencils for. Here's the first page of the story. Penciled by me, inked by lord of the ink, Eric Talbot. I'm really pleased with how it came out. Groovy to see the inks and lettering to finish it off. So go grab ya a copy or two.

And now for something completely different, a picture of my relatively new (almost two months old) niece Isabel. Is she freakin' cute or what?

TMNT short page 1.

So one of the things I have been working on is a TMNT short story I was asked to contribute to. Written by Tristan Jones, I'm doing the pencils and Eric Talbot(!) will be doing the inks. It's the first time I've worked with an inker and man I started at the top, I've been a fan of Eric's for a long time and his inks are mind-blowing.

I think I may have over-worked my pencils as I'm used to inking them myself (and I'm pretty anal when it comes to my work) so some things I just leave rough and finish them up myself. Should be pretty cool to see nonetheless.

This is the first page. Once the story comes out (it's slated to appear in The Tales of the TMNT #48) I'll post the rest. Stay tuned.
