Summary:

So I picked up the official TMNT coloring book. Those who know me know I am very particular about keeping everything TMNT related in mint or near mint condition. So, in interest of keeping it looking new, I decided to take a picture of the page I want to color and do it digitally. This way it stays in perfect condition. This is the first one I did. Before and after pic.

I do plan to get back on working on my digital artwork again, just life as an actor/director has been getting in the way lol.

Finally after 13 issues of Volume 2, and the last 50 issues of Volume 1 where you saw their bond start to break, the brothers finally became a team again.

The 2025 Annual these panels came from was very emotional, especially when Leonardo was finally honest with his brothers about why he had been behaving the way he was.

There are still some underlying issues the four of them have to work through, but at least now they have grown to where they can be brothers again.

It also made me appreciate Leonardo and how he finally worked through his Big/Oldest Brother complex since he has always been my least favorite of the turtles.

Also, the final panel with the group hug.. yea. As silly as it sounds, a lot of tears were shed.

Each one took about 4 - 5 hours. Removed the BG, colored the images in by stylus. Added various layers with different textures and then did a lot of line clean up. This digital artwork was done using Pro-Create.

This was a fun one to do that took about 5 hours. I used four different screen shots, removed the BG and then using various textures and filters (No AI) created this piece of digital artwork.

To make things easier, here are the links to my artwork that is currently available as prints. More will be added, going with the popular ones for now.

This was a fun piece. I used an image of a toy and touched up the colors to make it look more vibrant and added various filters to make it look less like plastic. It took me about 3 hours to fully make the image transparent. Then I added in a BG, changed it up by using more filters and did the Cowabunga.
