Forty-five down, one hundred and fifty-five left to go...


I worked a little bit yesterday and some more today on doing the head sketches in issue #30 of Volume 4, and I managed to do another thirty-three of them.

For the ones I worked on today, I used a 90% cool grey Prismacolor marker. I decided to try this to give a little more variety to the look of the sketches. I like how they came out.

Here's a photo of some of the new head sketches, taken in the front office at Mirage Studios. -- PL

  1. the sketches came out awesome! i like the difference in color! but more importantly!! I would do anything for one of those bronze figures you have in the picutre. I remember holding one at comic con in NY this year and i was so amazed at how awesome the detail was.

    they are supposed to resemble the movie turtles no? How could a lingerer like me ever come to own one of these? I can only imagine they must be really REALLY expensive. but thank you very much for sharing the photos with me!! I love the turtles!!!!!

  3. Those statues!!! I had hoped to win the Splinter, but alas, I was not chosen. But they're GORGEOUS!!

    And they appear to be enjoying the comics.

  4. Of course, Splinter is probably wondering where HIS head sketch is...

    Yes. Kevin commissioned their creation years ago -- I think when he was trying to raise money for his "Words and Pictures" museum. They were sculpted specifically to look like the movie Turtles. "How could a lingerer like me ever come to own one of these? I can only imagine they must be really REALLY expensive."

    Unfortunately, yes. If memory serves, each figure -- if purchased individually -- was $7000, and all five together I think went for $25,000. I bought a few sets to help support the museum, and ended up giving individual ones away to family and friends. I can't recall how many were made, but I think it was a pretty limited edition. -- PL but thank you very much for sharing the photos with me!! I love the turtles!!!!!
