TMNT Progress Update

In my never ending attempt to try and keep everyone involved in what I'm doing, here's another blog.

Currently I've been trying to jump head first into my TMNT online comic. I already have the first two pages now mentally drawn up but when it comes to the drawing, I'm having a little trouble getting some traction. It's been a while since I really sat down and drew so it's just taking a little time. In the mean time I've been trying to work on some character designs for Slash and the Triceratons before I move onto the Fugitiod.

I haven't discussed the concept to too many people so allow me to throw out a few of the ideas that I have here. The feel of the series is going to be a little more cutting edge and a way different take then what has been seen before. Everyone knows the story of how four turtles and a rat became Splinter and the Ninja Turtles. I'm taking a nod of the original 80's cartoon where Hamato Yoshi will become Splinter. Instead of the the basic four turtles I'm throwing in a fifth turtle, slash. Upon falling into the sewers he became lost to the other four. He will have a whole different origin from the other turtles which would explain a lot about who he is but I don't want to give any spoilers to that. The story is going to pick up quick at the beginning because early on I am introducing the Fugitoid which will also have a hand in the origin of the turtles. Touching on the Fugitoid War is what's really going to open up Earth to Dimension X so we will be seeing the Triceratons and the Krang before we see the Shredder. All hell is gonna break loose on New York. A long the way ofcourse I'll be introducing some other fan favorite mutants and characters like Leather Head, Metal Head, General Trag, Baxter Stockman and the mousers, Roadkill Rodneys,  and ofcourse every TMNT fan's favorite morons Rocksteady and Bebop. For as long as people will read it and I receive feedback the series will continue.

Soon I'm hoping to create a website that will showcase all of this, as explained in my last blog. I've been thinking alot about the website format and I've decided so I can communicate with everyone on the stories I will include a forum. This way you all can complain and tell me how much it sucks so I can keep making more.

So that's where I'm at right now. I've got a few surprises up my sleeve that will really add some weight to the story that I'm telling and I can't wait to get to them. I'm not sure why I'm focusing so much on the TMNT story when I'm not gonna release it till August but hey, things change, and I may throw some out before then. I've lately been thinking about some of my other personal projects like Atlantis and the ever personal to me Eichi.

Well, until next time everyone, EXCELSIOR!!!
