Description Thrilled to share my first TMNT Cover for IDW's new Amazing Adventures line!
This cover, for issue 2 coming this September, is a subscriber exclusive variant so if you want it you gotta talk to your retailer!
Hope you guys like it! I had a blast drawing it and I'm hoping if the response is positive (be sure to tell IDW!) I'll get to do a lot more of these

It took aaaaaaaaages to get Donnie's look rightf all of them, his head-shape and features are the hardest to get right.  Mikey's probably the most fun to draw! I hope I get to do more so I can put them in some cool poses or fun scenarios

I'm so psyched to see an official TMNT2012 comic book cover art that is this spot on! The brothers look so perfect!    Very accurate, and very well done.

I know that a lot of comic book artists must be able to draw the characters fairly quickly and easy, but some of the cover art that I've seen of the IDW TMNT-comic books is so...    Well, you can tell that the artist don't put a lot of time on each character (which is understandable considering the deadline, but doesn't make it less uninspiring to look at  ).

   Which is why I was so happy to see this!  They look like they've smashed a TV-screen, left an episode, and then jumped into this picture. And they look absolutely badass! Great job! I sincerely hope you get to do more of these.

That's one of the nicest, most supportive comments I've ever had about my work. I really did try hard and practiced a lot to get their likenesses correct and I'm glad you like it!  What you said really means a lot, thank you

I hope I get to do more work on this book as well, specifically I'd love to draw the actual interiors of the book on a couple of stories at least.  That's one of my biggest goals for my career.  What would really help, and only if you wanted to, is if you could email IDW and tell them what you told me in the comments: I think it means a lot to the guys at IDW to know what their readers do/don't like and if they think there's a market for my take on the Turtles, they'd be more inclined to ask me back.  But no pressure, only if you want to.  Either way, your comment made my day

No problem! I appreciate this kind of dedication, and I want people to know when I like their work. And I'd be happy to send IDW an email about this as well.

Good luck! Hope to see more from you!

Yeah, still can't quite believe it.  It's out very soon so when I get my comp copies it'll finally sink in

Ha, that's very kind of you but I'm a minnow in an ocean.  Plan is to climb the ranks until I'm doing interior work on the main IDW series, although that's gonna be extremely difficult.  Time will tell...
Appreciate the support

Absolutely phenomenal! They all look incredible but my eyes are drawn to Mikey. Somehow you've made him look badass and mischievous all at once, which is no small feat!

RedCole84 In reply to Hummerhouse [2015-07-02 06:28:51 +0000 UTC]

Ha, thank you! Mikey's definitely the most fun to draw because his face is so expressionate and, because of his character, you can push it a little more.
Getting Donnie's head shape right was the hardest part...
