I don't know why so many of you like this thing. It's not even done yet. Anyway, thank you to all of you that have enjoyed this piece of work. I'll finish it sometime, it's just so hard to find the time. And I'd like to thank Anticia one again for letting me color this. It's been so much fun so far ^^

Okay, so it's another work in progress. These seem to build up, don't they >.> Anwyho, this one's proving to be extremely fun to color, which I thought it would be. I'd like to thank :iconanticia: for allowing me to color her TMNT-Good Night. Please check out her page, she's got some amazing stuff, and I plan to also color her TMNT taking a bath and TMNT playing in the sewer.

Anywho, a little about the picture as it is. I've taken a different approach with this one than I normally do, and I rather like how it's turning out. Usually I pick out each color and each shade for that color in order to get the effects I get, but this time I'm using the "dodge", "burn" and "sponge" tools to get the depth that I've achieved. It works well here because turtles skin doesn't really work like human skin, and therefore isn't partially transparent. Also, I'd like to bring attention to the plushies. To get the "fuzzy" look, I just added a slight "grain" texture. Hopefully they end up as nice as they seem to be turning out to be. If you look at the cat's eye, I used black for the base color, then to make it look glassy, not only did I add the highlight, but I also added a lighter gray tone around the left edge, to make it appear partially transparent, like any glass should. Finally, note the shadows cast by the robot's antennae and the cat's whiskers. Those are there purely for depth. I changed the color of each turtles skin to help identify which is which, and I also did some funky stuff with the eye colors to make it even more obvious. On a final note, I've added my color palette so that you can see what everything that's there right now came from.

edit: Progress is going relatively smoothly. I finished Donny's head and Leo's head, and i finished the plush cat toy. I did a little work around it's eye to make the gray bit on the left edge more obvious to make it look glassier. I should be finishing their arms and the plushies, and I may start base coating Splinter. We'll see how it turns out ^.^

edit: Wow, this is getting long. I'll take out all of these edit messages when it's finished. Not much this time, I finished the rabbit's ear, did some more on the turtles arms/hands and fixed up Leo's head a bit...
I hope you enjoy it, and once again I'd like to give a shoutout to Anticia for letting me color this. It's amazing work, and she's got even more on her page. Enjoy!

edit: Okay, touched up Donny's head, the rabbit plushie, finished Leo's left hand, Donnie's left hand, Mikey's right arm, and I'm working on the rest of the arms, and I might start base coating Splinter's head. We'll see ^^
P.S. If you see this Anticia, I hope you like how it's turning out.

Wow, this one outfavorited Sharingan Eye. I'm amazed and humbled. This update, I finished the rabbit's other ear, did some touchup work on the eyes and hands, and put down some more basecoats for hands and arms. When I finally finish Donnie's other hand, I'll finish up Mikrobi (that's the plushie he's holding). Thank you for the favorites ^^. And sorry I haven't been updating regularly, but I haven't had any time to work on it. Not to mention the other colorations I'm working on. This is still my favorite, so thank you Anticia ^^

Looks excellent! But... you've got a lot of stuff going at the same time, man! I think you should just focus on one at a time...

...Then again, I'm kinda being a hypocrite with that statement. O_o
