Hey Gang! 
Gots a bunch of art  here!About a month ago, I started work on some TMNT season FIVE  characters.
A couple months before that, Nickelodeon began airing TMNT  season 4.
It’s hard to believe it’s been over four years since I started  working on this jam.
Here are some of my favorite (never before posted)  pieces of my work from the first 3 seasons.
I have so many files from  my time on this show I’d really love to post someday.
Most of it is old,  and just a matter of me sorting through it. The rest can’t be shown  just yet.

Casey Jones character concepts, design and turn around (2013)

I had a blast working on these designs.
In total there were three:  Casey Jones, Casey in his hockey outfit and Casey in his vigilante  outfit.
It was pretty amazing getting to design such an iconic character  in the TMNT universe.
These were built off rough concepts and notes  from TMNT Executive Producer Ciro Nieli

Tiger Claw (2013)

This dude was a tough one, but in the end I think he turned out great.
I’m happy he went on to be such a fan favorite.

Ice Cream Kitty (2013)

My contributions to the show were usually either straight up gross or  straight up cute.
This falls into the latter. Ice Cream Kitty has also  gone on to be a fan favorite.

Speed Demon Donnie (2013)

This was a fun one.
It also kinda broke my brain (but so did Baxter  Fly, and come to think of it, many other characters I worked on)
But I  really enjoyed getting to do a tribute to Ed “Big Daddy Roth” and Rat  Fink.
One of the many great things about working on this show is getting  to do the research.
This was for episode 306, “Race With The Demon”.  The car was designed by Jeff Wong.

Muck Man and Joe Eyeball (2013)

This one was a blast. It also took me forever to do. And it took the  entire Character Modelling team to create the Muckman CG model.
And  Character Technical Director Dave Kim spent many long nights rigging  that model to make sure he was brought to life properly.
And the paint  team and texture team snapped with the colors and textures. And that’s  why he looks so awesome.
 

Stock Footage
Another perk of the job is getting to contribute 2-D elements where  they are needed.
Sometimes it’s a logo for a product, or a poster, or  for paint overs and mattes when CG would be too prohibitive.
This is  also our opportunity to throw in a joke or two (or eight) into the mix.
Casey Jones graffiti (episode 225, “Invasion!”)

Inspired by the late, great legend, Vaughn Bodé.

April Coffee Can (episode 305, “In Dreams”)

This was one of my favorite drawings.
In the actual show, they posed out a CG model of April to match the poses I did here.

Punk Frog Mugshots (episode 304, “The Croaking”)

I think I was given this at the last minute, and had to draw  something pretty quickly.
It was supposed to be bad mugshot style  drawings of the Punk Frogs.
I think the Michael Bay TMNT was already out  at the time, or about to be released in theaters, and at some point  while drawing this I got the idea to throw in a Bay Mikey into the  mugshots.
I’m glad they kept it in. I threw in a bunch of jokes on the  side (including the “fail”).
I left a place holder under the mugshots  for the copy, and the brilliant Miho Tomimasu wrote the hilarious  account of the frog sighting that made it into the final episode.

Soon I’ll have more TMNT behind the scenes goodies to show. Two posts down out of three, so on to the next!!!!
