Cowabunga! Cover
February 2009
Pencil, tablet PC, Adobe Photoshop CS3

So this is the cover art for me and Psyguy's second collaboration, Cowabunga! Originally, we were going to do the whole cover in grayscale with only the turtles' bandannas in color. The concept evolved to only the turtles themselves being grayscale and the rest of the environment being washed out colors. I also kind of made the story of the picture about the manhole cover that gets blown off at the beginning of the old cartoon's theme song.
The pricing box and all is a nod to the ones on the official Mirage TMNT comics, with mine and Psy's site logos, and the shelf price of a current issue of Tales of the TMNT. Each turtle was illustrated and colored separately, and color corrected later in the final version.
