..fairly fresh from the the Artzilla Sewers :: comes your 5th Turtle winner!!

..to quote main-man..Gannon..::
Turtles WINNER! MAN was it close!

Is it you? CLICK!

Caravaggio by creon!



Haven’t seen his entry yet? Check it out:
Congrats!

If you forgot what the prizes are, here’s the rundown:

1. An armful of TMNT toys
2. a TMNT kids t-shirt
3. a LeSean signed TMNT comic and finally
4. a LeSean TMNT sketch and an Original TMNT Page!!! Wow!

-Click to view LeS's prize:
Here !!

& Here !!



Lets all give Creon a pat on the back, and special thanks to our official sponsor KONAMI for contributing the prize pack, LeSean for his incredible generosity, and especially ALL OF THE ENTRANTS! Good LORD, ARTXILLA has more up & coming talent then most comic book companies have pros! Don’t kid yourself when I say the final decision was the HARDEST yet. With entries as incredible as this:

Dah Winnah!!

Our decision wasn’t made lightly. Creon, simply, had it all. A very creative, unusual design to the 5th turtle, great back story, fantastic weapon, clean art work that made all the details visible to the judges (went as far as doing 3 PoV’s). But it was a close race. Jimmy Joe’s was insanely cool. As was Proph3t’s Warhol. I really want all of you to hold your heads up high.

Ganon

..lots of great Turtles from what i've seen.. awsome work all of y'alls!! The TMNTs now have a fleet to take on the Foot!! 8)

.. Strange new info on an obscure ..(i assume) 'Ninja Turtles: NTM' Video Starts here..as updated by Mr.B ..on the official TMNT d0t com..
..(pictured above is the U.K. release of the same video on PAL ..it was released on VHS in North America..) ..
..while if your not a fan of the Next Mutation.. ignore this news.. but if your like me & into the TMNT as a whole and dig all the odd and end videos you can get your grubby,geeky hands whet with.. this may be a real cool addition to your video library of one of the coolest of the 'Next Mutation' sets of episodes.. as well as the introduction od possible the sexiest TMNT villian ever.. VAM MI !!

-- Speaking of 'Next Mutation.. from,Kali ::..
Hey all!

For awhile I've been mentioning a little project I've been planning. A rewrite of the NT:TNM pilot miniseries (the first five eps) in comic form. Well, I'm only a little more than halfway done, but this project kinda made me forget to do a page for my regular webcomic. Oops!

So, since I felt like I had to put something up, I give you the first three pages of "Ninja Turtles: Dragon's Fire" for your viewing (dis)pleasure.

I'd like to say before hand that this was never going to be a great work of art. Relatively little effort went into these pages. I inked in BIC pen to avoid messy and time-consuming pencil smudges. Colors are Crayola-student quality pencils, one layer for the most part.

I'll accept comments and questions, and critiques will be dealt with in the same attitude in which they were received. And before you ask, I'm not giving away spoilers.

Kali's Story starts here!!

-- N.V. of 'Ninja turtles Network sends'::

"..to report on the Original series DVD info, and the first to run a Petition to get the series on DVD in 2002. Wether that had any ef fect or not, who is to say, but it's out in stores now and it's our job to support it!

Tthe quality on the 1996 episodes is Super clear. It's almost like you a re watching each Cell being photographed individually rather than watching the final moving image. I seem to remember the audio being a bit sharper on my TV Taped Hi-Fi episodes, but maby that's just me. I'll have to do a tape to DVD comparison later.

The original 5 episodes from 1987 look decent enough on DVD, definetly better than VHS quality. No tracking problems, no black slits appearing randomly on the screen, and no audio skips. THe Introduction sequence has a few video problems. For instance, whenever blue appearrs on the screen, it gets really blurry atthe top, but other than that, it's definetly better than VHS quality.

I'll try and get a VHS to DVD comparison picture setup tonight so you can see for yourself..."
..we'll keep an eye on that from the main master Turtle Meister N.V. (aka.. Shredder) ..8)

Hey howdy hey TMNT fans!! I hope your Easter rocked! I got to spend a bit of free time to myself, and collected some thoughts. Not as much as I wanted to, granted, but it was good none the less.

Okay so moving along: a new comic strip is up and you might notice a few things different. What could it be you ask?

No color? A full page? The characters moving outside their usual and what some may consider stiff "cartoony-strip"like poses? Maybe. Sure it's a bit more dynamic, but that's what you need to get used to seeing. Issue 3 rolls around, you guessed it, we're doing full pages.

So check out Prolouge Page 2 here, and if you want to see Page 1, then hurry up and VOTE. Now!

..gee..
..kinda been a big news day.. Splint at T-drome..gives the
long awaited new about everyone's favourite Mouser Mad Man.. and the Radical Ronin Rabbit.. ::

"Don't jump for joy yet....because the Baxter is majorly toon inaccurate. The body he comes with doesn't match -any- of his cartoon appearances. And the head looks terrible. So no hope for a headswap with a Utrom Exoskeleton. It looks more like a psychotic Krang's bubblewalker. Seriously, I'm starting to lose major faith in the line. It started so strong too, and now it's starting to stumble. I can't really say much more, the pictures speak for themselves. Playmates, you wound me. At least Usagi is cool. "

-Here's Baxter's Proto Pic #1

- Bax's Proto Pic # 2

-Usagi's priceless Proto can be seen here ..
....i'm wondering if Baxter will be a mix and match figure.. yeh.. and like Splint said..maybe he'll have an extra body .. you can prolly make a really mixed up mad doctor.. well.. we'll see.. i actually like the Baxter Proto.. ALOT!!
.. 8) and Usagi is always wonderful.. so stick some of my snapper spikes in yir pipes and smoke 'em ,Fan boys..

..a few weeks back when TMNT volumes 7 and 8 came out.. the vids excluded the 'Narroration Intros' the Tmnts always give before the ep is broadcast on T.V. ..

..the Eps on the videos are without these intros and re-caps..

"We checked with the producers of the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles...the intros were not included on several of the episodes because the DVDs include each part of the saga consecutively (Return to New York: Part 1, 2 & 3 / Search for Splinter: Part 1 & 2) and fans could go directly to the next episode, as opposed to waiting for the TV broadcast and needing a brief recap to be brought up to speed"

.. there apperantly was even a recall rumour of the DVDs.. but i guess it's all false..

The Full story is here on 'T.V. Shows on DVD'..

That cover looks wicked sweet! Speaking of comics, a new D4K comes at cha!

And the new one, Strip 86!

We're slowly counting down to Strip 100! With that, comes a bit more exposition than I'd like, but every story needs some of that, does it not? Well at any rate, enjoy the buffet of D4K comics I threw at you... and remember to check out the forums on my site as there is an interesitng convo going on there about Etneral Sunshine of the Spotless Mind (and in the state of the viewers in general.)

..a was a little suprised and a Noid..
.. but all in all it's pretty cool.. the Hot Wheels Licensed 'Monster Jam ' is really hot..
.. and i got real excited when the TMNTs were getting a truck featured in their likeness..
Truck # 40 (which i guess is Raphael..hence the Red bandana on the truck's dash)..
.. well be on the look out for Truck # 15 .. Donatello..

..at least that's what it sez on the package.. which is weird ..cuz the first monster truck from last fall doesn't say "Raphael" ..
(..i found the Donnie truck in the picture at K-mart)
.. but.. well ..it leaves one to assume.. that there are 2 more Trucks on the way!! (maybe.. not sure but i will find out)..

..a truck for Leonardo and Donatello .. 8)
