Blast from the Past #212: Archie TMNT Adventures #3 cover pencils and inks

Here's another Kevin Eastman-penciled cover to the Archie "TMNT Adventures" series that I inked. First, Kevin's pencils...



... followed by my inks.



I always find it interesting to note what gets changed during the inking stages. -- PL

  3. In the pencil version, the blast that comes from Shredder's hand looks like some kind of mystical power. However, in the inked version it looks like some kind of digital effect with all the rectangular shapes.

  4. GOOD NOTE!
    i was gonna say you improve it alot myself after seeing the 09 Eastman sdcc being inked.
    which was pretty cool to see step by step.
    thats rare talent to actually add to without taking from the pencils.
    (i once made comics that i colored,inked and regularly sold,a buck a page too heheh)

    prretty much, youre severly underrated in the comics industry.
    Dooney too,his frontispieces are like DAMN!

  5. -->> Tyr, you're more than right.

    Hell i was trying to get a note, nod, and a daily DA mention to the boneheads that are in charge of stuff like that on Deviant Art to make Mike be given in the very least his just due in the form of a Daily Dev. -/

    The power of his work shines thru' and DA'S ignorance continues to show well .. it's continued ignorance.
