Hey! I noticed that you made some subtle but extensive edits to April! The coloring was the obvious edit that got my attention, but after looking closer, I also noticed the minute changes to the clothing folds, seams, and buttons. I think her jumpsuit's warm colors look better closer to the orange/brown side of the spectrum than the brighter yellow you had before. The edits to her hair style and coloring and a big improvement too... less dark shadows and more defined bangs. She really pops of the screen next to blue diamondback Donatello's cool colors. Dare I say, she looks even more "animated?"
One thing that still bugs me though is probably the over-defined knuckle line on her right hand. It seems to be way too much black ink. Also, have you ever considered going with smaller heeled boots on her more similar to the classic style seen in the cartoon episodes?

I"ll take a look at the hand! I'm sure you're right. I think I've got most of her kind of where I want it for now, trying to get ATM done

It had been a long while since I'd submitted an official critique but I figured this piece deserved it for as much time as you've put into perfecting it.

Does Donnie still have a crush on her? If so then it seems even more jarring and wrong than usual incarnations. This realistic appearance of the turtles would border the crush on bestiality xD

I was never a big fan of interspecies romance; I guess that come through here!

Thanks a lot! I'm pretty happy with it too - can't wait to have all these guys sculpted printed and painted.

These are all so cool. Is this a project of yours or just a collection of art for all of our enjoyment?

I have an addictive personality. I got hung up on trying to legitimize the idea of a real mutant turtle, and that in turn spiraled out of control.
So, it's a collection of my OCD, and if you enjoy it, that's awesome!

It's actually a Diamondback terrapin, but good guess!
Maybe I should make the text more legible?

Oh I see,I think your correct. Map turtles are black and white with very neat markings,but I have seen diamondback turtles with similar markings too. So them two turtles look so similar that it can be a bit confusing telling them apart. 
My pleasure btw!

I've added some of the reference In the description. I chose the Diamond back for the subtle purple coloring in the skin.

I'm wondering what you think of the design of Don being such a radical departure.
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Very albino... almost the reptile equivalent of a dalmatian dog?
It's been a while since I last looked at your old turtle designs though. Didn't Donatello previously have a darker skin tone?
You really need to update a progress comparison picture of the older versions!
