TMNT 31 & 32 in progress

Peter Laird :: ” have pretty much finished the tones for issue #31 of TMNT, and if all goes well in the lettering stage (which I hope to begin tonight or tomorrow), #31 might be sent to the printer within a few weeks. The photo above is of the cover page of a “proof print” I did so that I could see how the tones were going to look (sometimes things look different when they are printed than when you were looking at them on a computer monitor). I also wanted to get a look at one particular page on which I think I spent the most time doing tones of any page in all of Volume 4… and I’m not sure people will be able to tell. We’ll see, I guess.

So this means, I think, that if anyone wants to write a letter of comment for possible inclusion in issue #31, they should probably do it in the next couple of weeks.

And in a related bit of news, Jim Lawson has started penciling issue #32 — I think he’s done four or five pages so far.” — PL

A.C. Jumps In To Talk About His Leo Bust!

Earlier today I was pleasantly surprised to see the great A.C. Farley came over and left a comment about an older post regarding the Leo bust he sculpted back in the day. As I know most of you probably won’t notice a comment on a post that old, I thought I would bring it up to the top 🙂

Hi,

Here’s a few facts about this bust… It’s one of the few sculpts I’ve ever done and the ONLY sculpture I’ve ever done professionally. It’s very rare, since it was planned to be a 500 run limited edition, but only around 80 were made. I have two of them… the one that I assembled and painted as an example for the guy that painted them, and one in a box unpainted. There are some painted and some unpainted out there in the world. I don’t know how many were painted.

We at Mirage had originally wanted to do full figure ‘Mirage type TMNT’ sculptures of all four Turtles, but Mirage had a contract with Playmates that included rights to any full figure TMNT product. We ran into a lot of this kind or brick wall because of licensing. We couldn’t even make our own Mirage T-shirts with TMNT on them for awhile, because a company had purchased exclusive rights to make TMNT clothing. Weird, huh? So the best we could negotiate with Playmates was permission to do a limited edition bust, instead of a full figure. The model making company that contracted to cast the busts COMPLETELY dropped the ball on this project and so there were only around 80 made, cast in plain resin, instead of the 500 bronze filled resin busts that we had planned for in the beginning.

So the busts are even more rare and even more limited than anyone planned at first.

That cover photo is the actual unpainted, Sculpey build. I gave that to Pete Laird after the casting.

Later,
A.C. Farley

Thanks for the insight A.C.! Glad you enjoy GGM!

Season 8 Cover Art

Thanks again to Mike-sama for the heads up!

http://www.tvshowsondvd.com has recently released the cover art for the upcoming season 8 DVD release. Check it out above. I agree with Mike, the cover should have reflected the change in art style that took place in season 8. Oh well.
