toitle Posted July 15, 2013 Share Posted July 15, 2013 Great idea! However looking for something I can keep at home. Like, maybe if theres some tricks with cameras, or some kind of large inexpensive scanner. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jaybuck43 Posted July 15, 2013 Share Posted July 15, 2013 Toitle, get a handheld scanner like this http://www.officemax.com/technology/scanners/portable-scanners/product-prod3740160 I am sure you can find them cheap on Amazon. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rich_TMNT Posted July 15, 2013 Share Posted July 15, 2013 Can any of you turtle dudes that scan your CGC Magazine size issues (like tmnt 1-4) suggest an inexpensive scanning/picture solution? I try to take photos but there's always tons of glare and reflections! A scanner seems better, but an A3 size scanner goes for about $300+! Any tips/tricks/ideas/gizmos? I use my office copiers...they can scan very large items. You can go to FedEx Kinkos or another printing shop like that and get them scanned as well.

Archon_Turtle Posted July 16, 2013 Share Posted July 16, 2013 I would recommend using a professional machine as well (fedex/kinkos, etc) I have an A3 as home scanner and I find the bulbs are never bright enough to actually scan through to the comic well.

Turtle Posted July 16, 2013 Share Posted July 16, 2013 Free Comic Book Day 2013 allowed me to finish a set I started early in 2009. During NYCC 2009, I took the then-new Dark Avengers blank and asked Peter Laird and Steve Lavigne to sketch on and color the front side of the blank. I then took it over to the Heavy Metal booth and had Eastman add Casey to the back. He seemed pretty excited to draw a non-turtle character. Once I got the book back from CGC, I decided that I wanted a complete set from the creators of the TMNT. Little did I know, later that year Laird would sell the property to Nickelodeon and basically retire from the convention scene. I decided to hold onto hope and kept going with the project. Over the next few years, I was able to get Eastman to draw the other 3 characters I wanted on the backs of Dark Avengers blanks, the last one being Shredder that I got at Dragon Con last year. I showed Peter Laird my slabbed sketch and the 3 other partially-completed books and he graciously agreed to complete the set. I tried to pair them up with their logical counterparts. Leo & Shredder - in most incarnations of the TMNT, it's Leo that tends to have the most personal relationship to the Shredder. In at least 2 versions, it's been Leo that decapitates the Shredder. Don & Splinter - Splinter seemed equally close to all of his sons for different reasons, so I picked this pairing due to Don's choice to leave his brothers and be with Splinter following the events of City at War. Raph & Casey Jones - The most obvious pairing. Casey met the turtles through a chance encounter with Raph. Not to mention their similar tempers. Mike & April - Honestly, not a huge relationship here, but April is easily among the most well-known of the supporting cast. sorrenmj 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ryan. Posted July 16, 2013 Share Posted July 16, 2013 Nice! Now you need Steve to color the other 3. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Turtle Posted July 17, 2013 Share Posted July 17, 2013 Why is there a hello! on the golf club? I'm not exactly sure, but Kevin cracked himself up when he drew it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

toitle Posted July 24, 2013 Share Posted July 24, 2013 Would be cool to get her to sign a #2 (first appearance) or #3 (is that her driving the van)? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
toitle Posted July 30, 2013 Share Posted July 30, 2013 So, last night, my girlfriend told me they were filming, and she had to sign a waiver because she walked through the set. There was an evil Turtles villain in the street, and she just walked by, nonchalantly. Dunno if she was supposed to act scared or something, hope she makes it to the movie Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

toitle Posted July 31, 2013 Share Posted July 31, 2013 I've been wanting one of these animation cels from the original show, for probably over a decade now. I finally acted on one. Nothing brings back my childhood faster! Someone just bought an awesome Rat King for like $40. Theres still a couple left on ebay, one of them is a hilarious one with Shredder holding a crowbar in an office(?)! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
