I Call Him “Machiavelli”
Pencil on cheap paper. Inspired by the TMNT IV: Turtles In Time level title “Prehistoric Turtlesaurus”, and drawn during an exceptionally uneventful train trip from Dhaka to Khulna.
One of these days, I’ll have to get around to coloring this. And fixing the dude’s anatomy in the process.
That’s all.

totally tubular.
i miss mutant ninja turtle show
That is nice.
I like that. I hope Michael Bay has your number so he can use that instead of butchering the series
I miss that cartoon. I find myself searching for old cartoons lately. I’ve taken up the mission of introducing my youngest sister to the greatness she missed out on by being born late in the game.
My son used to draw the turtles when he was a teenager. Loved the one called (?) michaelangelo. May be I am not saying the right name.
@starmanjones -
Regaling recite.
Reminiscing. Recalling
radical reptiles.
@rudyhou - I miss the Ninja Turtles videogames. Newer ones seem to lack the Zen like simplicity of the classic beat ‘em ups. ^_^
@angys_coco - Thank you.
@godfatherofgreenbay - But then he would butcher my phone number. And insist something explode whenever my phone rings. -_-
@ALovingAdversary - Ah… the 90′s. A renaissance of animation according to some. Have you seen the animated movie “Turtles Forever”?
@ZSA_MD - I believe you are correct. Michelangelo was the most popular turtle. (And “a party dude”, according to the theme song.)
poor poor vanilla ice so tried to make a foray into continued popularity in tmnt2…http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GFLGRidfFo4
have you ever seen a turtle get down? well I did see howard the duck pluck a rubber out of his wallet.
@starmanjones -
YE GODS! Howard the
Duck! Two words man. Duck Nipples.
DUCK EFFING NIPPLES!!
Turtles I’ve seen rock.
They can’t stop rockin’, baby
’til they lose their mind.
Come to think of it,
I don’t think any one’s not
seen Turtles get down.

@Bels_Kaylar -
Nuts?! Were we any
saner, the ground would collapse
from the weight of it.
@Lakakalo - The gravity here,
is very dear, lest our heads,
float away today
(did you see the other haiku, in your prev. post comments?
@Bels_Kaylar - Never mind. Read it. Replied to it, too.
@Lakakalo -
oh you want haiku
spewing forth seventeen sounds
meanings delib’rate
-
turtles are upturned
pirates, sailors spot delight
they need no cold box
-
teenage turtle pie
orange white and purples meet crust
bake at three fifty.
-
who needs sanity
collapsing our feigned gravity
leaving what COULD be.
-
beer steeamed, slow cooked ribs
coated in rouged sauce supreme
catching it’s case crust.
-
crabbier than hell
snappin at each word spoken
glad you’re far away?
-
sorta cylentrical
smooothest bubbling bitters cold
would you like a beer?
-
yes, so many poems
penned by henpecking key
repaying wit’s spent
-
I can’t belive you!
I write you finest new schlock
you boomerang links?
Reminds me of the old Godzilla or Ultra Man shows. Cheesy but cool.
@Unstoppable_Inner_Strength - Thanks. Godzilla actually was one of the inspirationsfor this. I did a very light sketch of a human being, and “built” the creature on top of that for a classic “dude-in-a-rubber-suite” vibe.
