In any event, I'm glad we decided to make Splinter's robe a little less ragged in the comics! -- PL

Blast from the Past #71 repost: Early Splinter
Hey -- where's his tail?! This is a very early painted piece from 1984 by Kevin Eastman, depicting the Turtles' sensei, Master Splinter. It is probably a design study done before the printing of the first issue.

-->> ..are you able to detect what paint and technique was used on him here ??
ReplyDeleteI actually kind of like that. It makes sense considering that Splinter would have found everything in super damaged condition in the sewer pipe...most likely..
ReplyDeleteHeh, planning a series is more difficult than I thought. How did you ever tune out all the ever changing ideas and concentrate on writing issue one? :) That's where I'm at right now :).
Ooh, that's awesome. Can't recall ever seeing early Splinter in color before. Shame he doesn't have a tail, but then in the movies he didn't have an ear. Poor abused mutated anapamorphic rat :(
ReplyDeleteI always wondered. Who was it that came up with the character of Splinter, you, or Kevin Eastman?
I really love how Splinter just looked totally badass in the old comics. Thats a cool drawing.
ReplyDeleteI agree-- I'm glad he wasn't so ragged. And where WAS his tail?
ReplyDeleteStill-- beautiful piccie. I like how you both drew him.
Maybe I should get two tattoos... >.>
(just kidding!)
