**Pete gives us the tally – ho on TMNT 31 ::
“I got the word today from Michael Dooney that he had finished the cover painting for the next issue of TMNT Volume 4 — #31 — and he’d left it on one of the computers at Mirage. So this afternoon, while I was at the office waiting for Eric Talbot to get there so he and Jim Lawson and I could go for a short (but sweet) motorcycle ride, I copied it onto my trusty memory stick and brought it home.
And here it is!
Now that Mike has worked his magic, I think the only thing left to do is put together the letters pages. So if you had been thinking of writing a letter of comment, now would be a good time to finish it up and send it in.”

So many like me and have loved the powerful Dooney / Lawson Comic covers since TMNT II’s movie comic adaptation. I’ve uploaded the LARGE VERSION of Mike’s menacing painting to Photostream.

Mu-TANTS! Mutants in tights….
Great job on the artwork. The light effects on the shark and the hands are especially nice. 🙂 Is this ALL computer-colored?
–>> Far as i know.. Mike works almost 100 % traditional on most of his work. There are some exceptions when he’ll go digital or when others handle his work and go digi- with it.
( And scanning the work into the computer and all that stuff doesn’t count. )
So as much as i can tell , he works and paints right over Jim’s pencils with the paints.
