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
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.
ReplyDeletethey 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!!!!!
-->> .. also like the interesting consistency , systematically the heads look rather similar !!
ReplyDeleteThose statues!!! I had hoped to win the Splinter, but alas, I was not chosen. But they're GORGEOUS!!
ReplyDeleteAnd they appear to be enjoying the comics.

Of course, Splinter is probably wondering where HIS head sketch is...
ReplyDeleteVery cool! I really hope I end up with one of these.

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!!!!!
