Blast from the Past #703: Sketchbook page 48, another look at the proposed "Fifth Turtle"

This is the last page in the sketchbook, and the drawing on it is very likely my last attempt to come up with a design for the proposed "Fifth Turtle".

I kind of like this drawing, but in all honesty, I'm glad this movie never got made. -- PL

Blast from the Past #702: Sketchbook page 47, some additional ideas for the proposed "Fifth Turtle"

Here, on the penultimate page of the sketchbook, I penciled a few more ideas wherein I tried to find a viable look for the proposed "Fifth Turtle".

I don't think I met with much success here. -- PL

Blast from the Past #701: Sketchbook page 46, even more ideas for the proposed "fifth Turtle"

What the heck am I doing, posting another page of this stuff on Christmas morning? I should be relaxing with a cup of tea, staring at our Christmas tree or something.

Oh, well...

Here on page 46 of the sketchbook, I drew some more concepts for the look of the proposed "fifth Turtle". There's another "Predator"-inspired one, and a couple of "Alien"-inspired heads.

Weird. -- PL

Blast from the Past #700: Sketchbook page 45, more ideas for the proposed "Fifth Turtle"

What "Predator" infuence? :)

Here are a few more doodles from page 45 of the sketchbook wherein I tried to come up with a workable look for the proposed "Fifth Turtle".

Only three more pages to go! -- PL

Blast from the Past #699: Sketchbook page 44, more ideas for "fifth Turtle" design

On page 44 of the sketchbook, I doodled this, trying once again to come up with an interesting look for the proposed "fifth Turtle". Here, he looks a bit too "froggy" in the head and face, I think.

And where did his tail go? -- PL

Blast from the Past #698: Sketchbook page 43, pencil sketch of Spyder?

This one is kind of boring, but in the interest of completeness, I will post it. It looks to me like I was trying once again to work out a viable costume design for the proposed villain "Spyder".

I confess this does not look that viable to me.

You may notice the different orientation of the page here -- apparently, I turned the sketchbook sideways to do this drawing, and I have no idea why. -- PL

Blast from the Past #697: Sketchbook page 43, drawing of Spyder?

This finished drawing on page 42 of the sketchbook is not labeled, but I am reasonably certain that it represents another attempt by me to craft a look for the proposed villain for the never-produced fourth live-action TMNT movie, the incredibly cleverly-named "Spyder" (yes, I am being sarcastic).

I kind of like this drawing... I'm not sure why, exactly. Maybe it is the way I used spot blacks in it. -- PL
