And almost a full year later I got to come back and do a couple pages for issue 23!  This issue had a great concept that allowed for a bunch of great guest artists.  Definitely worth checking out the trade for this storyline!!!

Also, at this point I started doing my layouts and pencils digitally on the cintiq, and from there I print it out tape it to some bristol use the lightbox to go straight to inks.  I think it's let me speed up my process a bit.  Because I can lasso, free transform, copy/paste etc.  I spend less time erasing and trying to figure things out on the page, and more time trying to make the finished product look as good as possible!

See, right away, I was back doing turtles.  IDW limited put together an absolutely incredible collected edition of the first four issues.  It had all four issues in an oversized format, ALL of the layouts Kevin did AND I did hundreds of original sketches for it.  It was a beast of a project, but man was it pretty!

and the pages weren't easy either, I really tried to put as much into these as I possibly could

Man this last batch of layouts was super depressing.  Even though I felt confident in the choices I made I knew I was gonna miss the turtles.

But I don't always prefer the layouts, sometimes the pages turn out okay

Getting close to the end, but issue 11 had some fun stuff in it too!  Things were really heating up in the story line but we still managed to squeeze in the Purple Dragons!!
