Hey! Here is the first page! Finally finished!

I have never done a comic like this before so I would really REALLY appreciate any pointers or observations you guys make will be extremely appreciated. Also, please let me know about the font I used and if it's difficult to read or not.

This comic is gonna be a little talky which I know isn't really the best way to make a comic, but I promise it does have a reason for being a comic and not a fic.

Originally the line "Let me tell you a story" was not going to be included, heck I only realised while I was drawing the second last page that the intro panel was SCREAMING for the line to be added. For those who don't know, A lot (if not all, I'm not sure) of the "Tales of the TMNT" comics start with a splash page with one of the characters giving an intro to the story that's about to follow and end with the line "Let me tell you a story..." Kinda like the 2k3 cartoon, but the cartoon doesn't have the line in it.

Also, I want to give a big thank you to
for a VERY long time I was considering abandoning this project because I highly doubted any-one would like it. Arwing took a look at the thumbnails and encouraged me to keep going and that is really the only reason this ever saw the light of day.

I went with the title "Orphans and Foundlings" eventually because people were saying the title should be simplistic yet meaningful and reflect exactly what the story is about.. and the story is about Splinter and his sons.

Prologue Page is Prologuey.
Sorry not much happens in this page. The next one is better and I won't talk so much in the next artist comments either I promise XD;;


TMNT is (c) Mirage
The TMNT Font is (c) Maple or Lionsgate, I dunno

A comic? O_O Awesome! You just made my day!
*glomps* I can't wait for more.

The font is nice, I like it. It's simple and clean. The only thing I can think of is that you capitalize the "I" from now on. That way it's right. ~_^

Aww..the sleeping turtles are so cuuute! *happy fangirl sigh*

XD The font's "I"s can't be capitalised (which is weird but alrighty 8D) but I agree, if I could I would XD. I'm glad to hear it's clean and readable because I really wanted to use a font with a slight easter style to it but I didn't want it to be hard to read.
Anyway thank you so much 8D

Thank you very much :'D I'm really glad you like it so far. i'm also really happy to hear you like the comic set-up because I have very little experience with comics and wasn't too sure about certain things regarding paneling and page layout.
Anyway thanks again

Thank you very much
Yeah I wanted to really show the difference between Splinter before and after his mutation so I'm glad you like that I'm also glad you like the font.
Thanks again!

Splinter!

Okay.... fangirl moment has passed... for now.

I can't really say what I like the best, but the thick black framing does very well for focusing the reader's attention on the story.

Overall a very nice job. *grabs Splinter's stick and threatens to start wacking artists* AND YOU WERE WORRIED ABOUT THIS?!?! *returns to fangirlish behavior*

XD If you're already fangirling I'm afraid for the rest of the comic

I'm glad you like the black borders because I did a version in white AND black trying to decide which one looked better. I chose black but I was a little worried it might be too "heavy". I'm glad to hear it was the right choice

D'X I was very worried about this! I'm still not overly convinced this is a good idea. I'm gonna keep going though, I can't stop now I've got the first page up for people to see XD

Anyway thank you very much!

Very nice work. I think the font is clear and easy to read, not to mention the style actually almost makes me picture Splinter's voice. :3

Stunning, Splinter looks so adorable before the change, and you gave him such expressive eyes in the last panel.
