Splinter's Nightmare: The Comic

On the last day of February, I just felt like drawing a portrait of Master Splinter fighting for his life against some of the things that would probably unnerve his otherwise stoic demeanor.  That "Splinter's Worst Nightmare" piece came together nicely and left me hungry to expand on the concept.  When the talented PowderAKACaseyJones graciously volunteered to bring it to life with digital color, I was already off and running on story/panel layouts for a comic.  I've never had the discipline or skill to attempt a full length fan comic before, but I am well on my way to finishing a 12-13 page story that should arrive just in time for Halloween!  I've learned some basic digital coloring skills recently, so I am also coloring it myself.  This comic won't feature much text, but it will advance the story through careful layouts and artistic poses that suggest energy and motion.

To pique your interest, here are some strategically cropped panels from the Work-In-Progress!

Pencils are probably 75%-80% complete, Coloring is around 60% done.

I've been working on this "off and on" since March. and I decided that I wouldn't release it until every page was finished. I know how hard it is as a watcher to have to wait on each page over period of months.

The actual title of the comic won't be "Splinter's Nightmare," since that is the name of the original piece.  I've kicked around some ideas for an appropriate title that will be revealed along with the rest of the comic.

Thanks for watching and see you in October!
