Michael Bay's Awesome Book of the Week

This was at the front desk when I went to pick up my Deadpool stuff at Comics R Us in Melbourne. This was cool because the dude behind the desk (not the usual dudes in there either) was saying that they'd had people start ordering the books recently because of my last couple of stories. Before this, the stores (there are two of them here in town) hadn't been stocking Turtles.

#50 Update

Paul just shot me an email... the art for Tales of the TMNT #50 is finished! Now it goes to Eric Talbot who will put all the finishing touches to the book... Can't wait!

In other news, I think I may have contracted some sort of alien virus. Yesterday I was coughing some kind of blackish, viscous substance, that trend continues today with some bizarre form of bloody slime gestating inside my nose. I am convinced, based on these anomalies that I have contracted a virus of extraterrestrial origins. Or I have a chest infection. Either way, both are as bad as each other.

Peace!

Almost Done...

The art for Tales #50 is almost finished, I think Paul only has a couple more pages to go and it's print time baby!
Above is probably my favourite panel. It's just such a creepy image!

"Percent sign ampersan dollar sign... and colon semicolon too!" It!

Sam & Max injoke aside, here's a tease:

Again this is just a rough, far from finished, but much closer to our final Leatherhead.

Proverbial Cats and Bags

I'd been sitting on it a while now, until I could say something about it, but the big news (for me at least) is that Paul Harmon will be providing the art on Tales of the TMNT #50! Unfortunately, Jim Lawson - the artist I was originally set to work with - was unable to take on the job to to his own massive workload, so Paul was asked to step in just a couple of weeks ago.

I know the roughs of his Leatherhead design are now up on Murph's blog and Ryan's, but bear in mind that they are just that - roughs. They're close to what we're going to have in the end, but having just seen th rough for the cover, they don't really do the colossal scale of our Leatherhead justice. There are some very noticeable differences in the latter design changes, so keep an eye out and hopefully I'll be able to post something soon! If anyone knows how physically massive some of the characters in the Capcom fighting games can be (I always think Birdie, for those in the know, but he's almost on par with the Juggernaut from X-men and well... Marvel vs Street Fighter).

Oh, and the creature in the post below is part of the same project!

Peace!
