And almost a full year later I got to come back and do a couple pages for issue 23!  This issue had a great concept that allowed for a bunch of great guest artists.  Definitely worth checking out the trade for this storyline!!!

Also, at this point I started doing my layouts and pencils digitally on the cintiq, and from there I print it out tape it to some bristol use the lightbox to go straight to inks.  I think it's let me speed up my process a bit.  Because I can lasso, free transform, copy/paste etc.  I spend less time erasing and trying to figure things out on the page, and more time trying to make the finished product look as good as possible!

See, right away, I was back doing turtles.  IDW limited put together an absolutely incredible collected edition of the first four issues.  It had all four issues in an oversized format, ALL of the layouts Kevin did AND I did hundreds of original sketches for it.  It was a beast of a project, but man was it pretty!

and that's the end of my year long run as the ongoing series artist on TMNT.  but also the beginning of more rad stuff.  and a lot of it was still turtles stuff haha

Thanks for hangin with me for all of this, hope it was fun for you too!

and the pages weren't easy either, I really tried to put as much into these as I possibly could

Man this last batch of layouts was super depressing.  Even though I felt confident in the choices I made I knew I was gonna miss the turtles.
