..cruisin' stores i finally found my copy of Battle Nexus (TMNT vol.13)


..the entire quintet of eps.. with Turtles versus the masters from all over the universe!!.. And an evil plot by Drako and the Ultimate Ninja to make this the one of coolest Turtle Mini-series ever !! There is also some Bushido-bunny guy and a Rhino Bounty Hunter guy.. but enuff' about them.. .. -

..just kidding..the Extras on the DVD Vid include a sick n' sweet Peter Laird/ Stan Sakai interview with some cool history on the TMNT/ Usagi Yojimbo teamups thru' the years and it even shows Stan in action !!
.. this DVD marks a slight continuity problem if you are real particular with stuff like that.. 'The Big Brawl' eps on this video take place after the 'Return to N.Y' eps do out on VHS/DVD next year. Some big marketing things i guess.. but o well.. it's still a very cool Vid..throw Miyamoto Usagi and Gen in the mix.. you got one shell of a TMNT T.V. slug-fest ! !

"As many of you may already know, we have been planning on upgrading the forums for a long time. Thanks to the people who donated, we were able to buy a license for vBulletin, which is forum software that is much better than what we're using now. It will take a few days to upgrade, so in the meantime, the forums have been moved here:

http://www.thetechnodrome.com/phpbb/

Please do not bookmark that link, since it is only temporary and will be removed once the upgrade is complete. Also, the forums may be down for a short time while the members and posts are transferred over to the new software. Once everything is complete, the forums will be back completely and posting will be enabled on all sections again.

Update: I'm now working on importing the data from the old forums. Sorry, but the forums will be down during this time, and the downtime may last a few days. Once this is done, I'll just need to configure the settings, and then the new forums will be ready."

-..strait from T-drome n' Splint::
"We saw some small pictures of 'General Blanque' and 'Hamato Yoshi w/ Splinter' at the Fall Toy Fair. But here's our first look at the 'Feudal Japan Shredder' Fairly pleased with all three these. While they're not perfect, they are good represenatives of some of the better Playmates TMNT figures. Which seems to be the case with most of the non-Turtles figures. Note that these are prototypes, so the final figure and paintjob could change."..

I'm not one to brag, but WE DID IT!!!

We finished D4K Issue 3, page 14, the last page, speaking o' which, and I'm nothing but elated!

The problem is my whole "Draw a few pages ahead" scheme isn't working out as planned. To be honest, I've been ahead for a month or so, and for that month I've not drawn ONE THING except for dancing girls. (As the next issue continues, it won't seem as perverted or confusing perhaps as it sounded....) Last night was the first time in a while I hammered out two pages or so, and lemme just say, all you TMNT-fans will see a definate hint/nod to our boys in green. Hopefully you get a kick out of, as it was fun to draw!

Ah, but I digress. I got up early by accident (I set my alarm by 45 minutes or so, so I'd get up at 6 in the morning, but instead I musta pushed the normal hour ahead on the clock, cos I woke up at 5:34 today.. :-\ ::runs back to bed to catch a few more before work::

So, I hope you enjoy today's last page/strip in Issue 3, Chapter 1 of Lord of the Sweaters! Lemme know what you think by E-mailing me at nick@dribbleforkids.com!!

We got a new page up, and another one soon coming, due to the whole "Last week of every month there are two updates, one on Tuesday the other on Thursday" type........ 'thing.'

So this is it. The last big page of exposition. And, in my opinion, I think it looks great. The background needs some work, but I really like Wesley getting ready to go to war or what not.

With that said, I'll see you all Thursday.... ENJOY!

Greetings.

Another D4K and this is one of my favorite pages thus far, just in sheer artwork and writing combined. I had a lot of fun writing this page more than some of the others as the dialouge seems to really bounce together well from character to character, and I think Jimmy outshines everyone else. Nate and Nick's writing patterns are easy to do, but to show Jimmy off as a so happy he is an annoying character.

Overall, much more improvement is needed, but I really like this page.

I hope you like it too! Enjoy!
