–>> Animator & character designer,comic artist ( Sonic the Hedgehog, Captain Carrot,Flintstones, Simpsons Comics, TMNTA cover artist ) storyboard artist, art director. and of Hanna-Barbera alumni.. Scott Shaw is a man of many hats and pretty durn legendary in his own right. Scott infamously provided cover art for Dan Nakrosis & Paul Castigila’s ‘TMNT meet the CONSERVATION CORPS’ one shot, a lead in to the 1990’s environmentally aware anthropomorphic super-team mini-series !!

This series would lead to, technically Tokka’s first published work in the Fan art pages of the mini.

–>> Before there was General Aguila there was The Shredder. But before Kevin Michael Richardson became the intimidating voice of Saki in Nickelodeon’s TMNT T.V. iteration .. he was themonolithic voice of the evil Aguila in 2007’s “TMNT” film.

Tokka’s original, modified General Aguila figure from the TMNT movie line & the strongest & favourite of the Generals’ sculpts.

** OUR FAVORITE ARTISTS **

Aside from the excitement drummed up by the new show this year.. there was much talk, speculation, and even a little controversy on the release of **FLüD’s new TMNT designs premiering for the label exclusively at SDCC 2012 in the NICKELODEON BOOTH store !!

New theme song and Sneak Peeks galore!

It is truly amazing the sheer amount of stuff that’s flying at us now in terms of the new series, the events at this years SDCC… I am getting more and more excited with what the creative team has come up with for the turtles.The difference between the preliminary animation we saw a few months back compared to now is mind-blowing, and all the little touches… the white ‘mirage eyes’ in battle, the textures of the bandaging on their hands. Even the little facial twitches and breathing movements. There’s such an incredible amount of work put into all of this. This could really rev up the fandom and bring in some new blood. 🙂

More announcements about the September premiere  <– Update: Apparently, per Jason Biggs on the 4G coverage on Friday, this is going to be a one HOUR premiere!

Opening theme!

Training Showdown <– Fantastic Choreography. It’s serious battle, and not just slapstick-y kinda 3-Stooge-Fu… and no one turtle is overpowering the others.

TMNT Meet the Kraang

Enjoy!
