So, I have hit a few bumps in my process of working on this comic and honestly I did get frustrated with it and hit burn out. I’ve come back to it and I decided that I need to make some changes and cut some things out. Honestly I’ve got too excited with the idea made this comic bigger than what it needs to be. So what I am going to do is to try to restructure it so I can make it focus on the main thing that I wanted the comic to be about. If all else fails and I can’t manage to get it where I want it. I will post the initial concept for the comic, and move on the from there. I am so sorry that it is taking me so long to get this together.
I might post somethings that I cut out of the comic during this wait.
So my short comic might have grown into a longer comic. Woops, you see what had happened was, I was making edits to the story and the edits didn’t stop, soo. I will keep you guys posted on it as I move forward. I am sorry about this.
I am sorry about the late review. Honestly I was’nt sure if I wanted to make a single post about the finale or several. I kinda have a lot to say.I loved it! Though I am sad about the show being canceled midway through season 2. I have been feeling some type of way about it. I really wanted to see what the creators wanted to do with the show.
Oh well here are my thoughts off the top of my head about he finale.
The fight scenes were amazing! Thank you @nickanimation for your amazing work!
I love how the turtles reasponed to meeting their grand mother Karia (I would have loved it even more if we got the if the crew were able to give her the screen time they wanted), but it is genuinly heartwarming to see them so excited to have another member of their family with them. It was also heartwamring to see Raph help his borthers unlock their powers with the extreme “I trust you to catch me move” it reminds me of the episode “Stuck Together” in a way. He’s such a loving big bro. Dang it, there is so much more that I wanted to see with these turtles. I really hope we can get this show back somehow. Regardless, I am glad that we got what we got.
This post is fairly short for me. I might post more the finale later. I have been kinda busy lately.
So, It is about 60- 75% Done. This week has been anothe busy week for me. I will try to have it done by the next Friday or Saturday. In addition to work, and helping family this week, I am also new to making comics and still new to line art. So I will try to get it together I am so sorry.
This is a teaser for a short comic I am working (one of my fan projects). I will want to complete a page by next Friday, but I am new to comics so we will see. Regardless I will update on its progress by next Friday.
Sorry I got this out so late. I have been busy since I got out of school.
Is the recruit now April’s arch rival? And she actually wants to rule the world herself? Interesting, I want to know more about her character, and if she becomes a main villain at some point that woud be awesome. I would love to see her and her girl scouts as the main bad guy in Rise in the future, if that happens.
Luo Jistus is inspiring heroes and villains alike.
I really like the little girl bad guy in this episode. She’s kind one of those classic bossy little girl villianess but she accepts compliments from anyone, she is not bratty she just spontaneous due to the Foot Recuit’s influnce, she takes the time to correct her teammate on the correct pronunciation of duct, she has ninja training, and she is so lively. I would watch a whole series with her as the lead villain.
Mystery Meat
It was a very fun episode. I enjoyed Draxum’s silliness the most, and what’s cool is that seeing this side of Draxum is not a surprise, we have tibits of this side of him in the past (like in the first ep, or in the gargoyles ep), so I like how rise handles their characters.
So soppy Joseph will make a return. I like how they dressed him in cool 90s clothing during this episode that really takes me back. It would be cool if he shows up in those clothes again.
I like the direction the writers took with Jupiter Jim. At first they show us that he is crazy and creepy (he still is) but then they show us that he has worked with and against yokai and mutants which has contributed to his state of mind. This makes total sense. It’s not something you think about often either, like how would a movie actor playing the role of superhero turn out if he realized that some of the aliens (yokai) he has faced had been real? Most people might quit the job (if they have not gotten into too much trouble), but maybe he felt that he should take responsibility and protect it from whatever yokai he has faced.
It would not surprise me if he came to the rescue in the future and/or that we meet a new villain yokai that is one of his arch rivals in the future.
These turtles and their weakness for their idols man. I tell ya.
Also I love the amount of Donnie vs Leo in this episode.
Hidden City Job
Senor Hueso is an uncle figure to Leo. I like that Leo goes to him for life advice. It’s Cool.
Leo: has big movie star energy in this episode. He bows to Don Suave, because I think he aspires to be just like him. Don Suave is the prime example of class.
Big Mom- I wonder if that warrior is the Shredder, or does it have something to do with that shadow kidnapping everybody or both.
I don’t have too much to say about these episodes because they were fairly straightforward.
Donnie: Confirmed to be the most mature because he is already raising a son (Shelldon). I bet if someone taught him the math behind B-ball he would be an excellent player.
Leo: being the good diva disaster he is, he would make it big in the movie industry. He seems to have a weakness for his idols, poor guy. And he also enjoys fire powers.
R.A.P.H: Our (Red Angel of Preventing Harm) is true to form. Since day 1 this has been this version of Raph’s goal. Its cool that this is Rise’s version of vigilate Raph. Also I am glad that we got a Raph and Mikey episode. When they are together it seems like Mikey is more of the heart in their dynamic, but it is really hard to say considering this is Draxem. We need more of Mikey and Raph episodes. Also where is my Raph and Donnie episode?
Mikey: Full of imagination as usual, his Dr. Feelings and Dr. Delicate Touch, there is no telling the number of persona’s in he has in his head or that he will invent for future occasions.
Draxum:while his supposed transition to team good guy felt rushed to me, it seems like he is a good guy at least temporarily. I can already see the episode where he mixes mutagen in the cafeteria food in order to make humans more like yokai. Regardless, I am glad that we have another villain in TMNT that can be an uber level threat. I hope future writers won’t sleep on his concept as a villain.
Donnie: Raph we must take over the world and I just know how to do it–
Raph: you’ve been watching that rat cartoon show again haven’t you?
Donnie: -dramatic gasp- I would never
S.H.E.L.L.D.O.N: *hovers near Donnie* he would never.
Something silly. My friend and I were wondering what Raph and Donnie’s relation dynamic would be like …. ((We got Bteam and Disaster Twins)) I then suggested…. Pinky and the Brain. It’s 230 am don’t @ me.
Also I was thinking about leo saying the last line but he totally would rat out Donnie.
