TMNT Repaints: Mondo Gecko and Fugitoid

Mondo Gecko SOLD
As a young skater wannabe, Mondo Gecko was always one of my favorite good guys, but even as a kid the lack of detail in his paint job bothered me.  I remember taking an ink pen and filling in the eye sockets and nose of his skull knee pad.  At the time I might have liked his bright yellow shirt and purple pants, but for my custom job I've given him a black shirt with a Misfits-looking skull to match his devilock. I think he looks a bit more scene kid now.

Fugitoid
I liked Fugitoid just as much, with all his cool weapons that could attach to his body.  I almost didn't repaint him because I've always liked his original paint job.  Even though I think he is completely silver in the comic,  I like him better with more of a steampunk look.

Greetings from Krampus

Of those who tell lies to get their way,
Who cause dissension with what they say,
Of those who accuse but claim no flaw,
May Krampus come and take off the jaw.

Of those who would see the sacred spoiled,
Whose lust would allow the innocent soiled,
Of those who would harm to achieve the prize,
May Krampus come and take out the eyes.

Of those who are greedy and selfish all year,
Who lust for power and gain by fear,
Of those who refuse from sin to depart,
May Krampus come and take out the heart.

                                                                     -J.B.W.

Zombie Portrait

This is my first attempt at a zombie portrait.  I was commissioned a few weeks ago to zombify this young lass and her little doggy and was allowed some time today away from my family to get it done.  I've drawn zombies before from my imagination and have rendered my friends in charcoal as they sat for hours in front of me, but this one was drawn from a pic I had on my cell phone. I'm happy with my work, but given the opportunity to do more, I know there is room for improvement.  Rob Sacchetto I am not, but I feel I have potential.  Thanks for looking.

Terror in the Midnight Sun

This is the poster I painted for the upcoming Harley Poe show at the Brass Rail in Fort Wayne, Indiana, on December 1st.  I didn't paint on the fonts this time.  They will be added by the venue owner when all the info is in stone.
