I did something stupid and agreed to draw a bunch of TMNT again so who knows when the hell I’m going to finish this book. BUT when I do finish my stay on TMNT (in about a year), I’m going to focus 100% on Shadoweyes and other creator-owned stuff for a while. It’s high time I do my own comics full-time again.
I want to try to finish at LEAST chapter 2 of Shadoweyes For Good, get it all colored and lettered, get the book halfway done before I embark on drawing 6 issues of Turtles next year.
Anyway, working on the next page!! See below! Difficult scene because I have to really sell Scout and Kyisha’s emotional states and behavior after Scout chomped Kyisha’s neck. Kyisha is obviously the “bad” one here since honestly she deserves it after what she did to Scout, and Kyisha is going to defer to Scout because she wants Scout to forgive her, but I still want it to feel like there’s something between them worth salvaging. I want it to seem believable that Scout wouldn’t write Kyisha off entirely (or not just murder her) and that Kyisha would want to place herself back into a friendship (or more) with Scout again despite what she’s done. Even before I put the dialogue in, I want the heavy lifting to be done with their expressions and body language.
Next one also in progress:
Happy Halloween! Hope it was a good one!
Really cool pages and really cool to hear you’ll be drawing some more turtles. How much love and affection you have for those characters always really shines through.
Holy shit! The emotion just radiates off of this page! Soooo good Sophie!
