Regular readers of this blog know of my admiration for Jack Kirby and his character of Etrigan, the Demon. I found this unfinished sketch of a Turtle as Etrigan in one of my old sketchbooks. -- PL

I've been saving pennies to get the Demon Omnibus hardcover. But I think I'll be getting the last two Fourth World hardcovers first.
ReplyDeleteFYI, the Demon put in an appearance on the animated Batman: The Brave and the Bold a few weeks back. I enjoyed it.
A turtle as Etrigan.
ReplyDeleteMan, That's cool.
And I like all the design concepts you've been sharing with us.
Much appreciated!
If you don't mind my asking, Who actualy designed Slash,Tokka,and Man Ray?
Which of them were you directly involved with?
And out of all the secondary Charachters excluding the Triceratons,Which are you fondest of?
I've just begun to really get into Kirby myself. I've tracked down all the New Gods material as far back as it goes (in comic book form... I don't want to cheat and get the TPBs). He truly was visionary.
ReplyDeleteAnd that's a good drawing.

I am fairly sure that Kevin designed both Slash and Tokka, and Ryan Brown designed Man Ray. -- PL
"Which of them were you directly involved with?"
I don't recall being "directly involved" with any of those three characters. It's possible that I was in some way, but I just don't remember it right now. -- PL
" And out of all the secondary characters, excluding the Triceratons, which are you fondest of?"
Probably the Fugitoid, Rat King, and Metalhead (not the robot Turtle, but the little long-haired android from the comics). -- PL
-->> Kevin Eastman indeed did create initial designs for TMNT II, Tokka, Rahzar ..ect.
ReplyDeletePrior to this ,around the same time frame Ryan Brown & Steve Bissette created, coincidentally .. designs for an Alligator Snapping Turtle Mutant Toy design.
Bissette's design was picked up for the second Mutant Villain i n the film.
Brown made sure and was instrumental in seeing that Steve got full credit for the design on subsequent toy packaging.
