My Ninja Turtle Website Has Been Updated

[ResidentEvil7]

I just got done updating my Ninja Turtle Website.  This update included the San Diego tour of the Shell-Ebration tour.  Instead of my usual 9 pictures per section, I added more images, because San Diego, like New York, were the bigger event stops.  And I'm quite jealous that I couldn't be there or at any other location besides here in Chicago.  Also after my San Diego section on that page, I wrote a personal message to the Ninja Turtles themselves thanking them for all they've provided for all of us in the past 25 years, and that they've touched millions of hearts, including mine.  I wrote this message now that the Shell-Ebration tour is now offically over, and I feel it should have a personal closing by me, the webmaster.  If you want to view the site and the page they're:

Keep visiting, they'll be something to update and provide occasionally.

Images of the Seattle, Washington Shell-Ebration Tour has been posted.  Also some of the web pages have background music.  The 1987, 2003 series pages have their animation theme song.  However the 1987 animation page has both the 1987 - 1993 opening theme song with the 1994 - 1996 opening theme song combined together.  The video game page contains the introduction music from the first ever Ninja Turtles game for the old NES.  Enjoy the updates.

October 1, 2009:
My Ninja Turtle website has been updated once again.  The comic book page has also been updated.  The Tales of the TMNT issues #59 - #62 has been added, along with Future Tense, TMNT 25th, and Donatello Brain Thief #1, and a Collected Book.  Also another update is the traggic news about the 2003 animated TV series and it's conclusion.  Enjoy the updates.

Oh and I did forget one final update, that I just came up with.  I decided to add a new page to this website.  I created my own Ninja Turtle Art Gallery.  I drew and colored pictures for many years since I was 13 in 1996.  My oldest drawings were drawn and color penciled colored.  My year 2000+ pictures are drawn on paper, scanned onto the computer and colored on my PC's paint program.  And my latest type is taking a live picture (in most cases Conan The Barbarian or Conan The Destroyer) and drawing a Ninja Turtle over the original body of the picture, making it look like the Turtles are in live situations and stuff.  I don't know the exact number of pictures I drew over the years, but if I can guess, it would be well over 7,000 drawings, most of which were just drawn, but not yet colored.  And because of the extreme amount of pictures in my art collection, I won't be able to upload every one of them, but I'll do the best I can, and I will upload my top favorites in each catagory: Leonardo, Donatello, Raphael, Michelangelo, April, Splinter, Foot Clan, Multiple Characters, Violent images, and misc.  So again, enjoy the updates.

Well I finished uploading all the Ninja Turtle drawings and Live-Action Animation "draw-overs" for now.  Of course there I'm no where near finished uploading and I won't be able to, because I have over 7,000 - 10,000 drawings total and I only have under 30 MBs of free storage left before I have to pay for more space and I don't feel like spending more money than what I should.

Also keep note on some of my drawings.  Some of my images do contain scense of intense violence, blood and gore, and intense fighting/wrestling scenes from both drawing and Conan The Barbarian, Conan The Destroyer "draw-overs."  But each catagory has its own album, so if you don't feel like viewing R-rated art work, you'll know which albums to avoid.

Site was so good on first look around that I just had to add it to my favourites.

[ResidentEvil7]

Thanks.  I've always been very extensive with my projects and my work.

If you happen to like Resident Evil as much as I do, you can visit my Resident Evil site at: www.residentevilumbrella.webs.com.  It's not fully done yet, and it's currently going through a MAJOR renovation on the game Resident Evil pages which will lead up to the long-awaited Resident Evil 5 page.  The published version is still active, and the extras are "behind the scenes."

And thanks again, for your interest with my site.

RESIDENT EVIL!

Awesome! thank you! I have also added this site to my favourites to - renov ations none with standing - i already like the look of the site.

[ResidentEvil7]

Wow!  It's is so gratifying to know that someone out there actully loves my work.  So how do you like the page musics of each page?  I can only choose 1 audio clip per page as a background, so I chose my top favorite of each soundtrack.

And it's great to know that someone has pointed out their love for my Resident Evil site, because believe it or not, the people that has visited my site that webs shows me how many each day, those people spend only 10 lousy seconds.  10 seconds, I say "give my site a chance before running away."

Also would you believe if I told you that which you saw on my site among all those pages is only 35MBs of web storage used up?  It's really amazing what you can do with so little, and it's only just a scratch compared to what is coming up later.  I have only 83MBs worth of available storage on Webs.com, but they're doing a new system where you can earn web credits and can purchase premium package features with those credits.  And the one that I want to purchase is adding 1GB worth of web space, which is worth 500 credits.  I have 355 credits now, and it goes up by 15 per day just the on the count of a free 5 credit offer a day, and 1 search with their toolbar up to 10 per day.  By the end of the month, I should be able to increase all that what you saw on my site 12 times of what it is now.

I know this is going to sound a bit unrealistic, but it wasn't for some people.  By the time I die, I want to be invovled in something Resident Evil related: game, or movie.  In fact, game developement is one of my high interests, and I would like to make my first game series based on a book I've been working on for the past several years.  It IS a prodagy of the Resident Evil series, but I ovioiusly have to water it down, otherwise it's going to look like it's been plagerized.  And I've been struggling for a long time for more ideas, so what I'm going to do to help out is something they call concept art, Resident Evil does it very extensivly.  They put their ideas in the form of drawings.  You can even see them in each of my Resident Evil pages, and I think those Concept Art drawing are VERY good, I mean even I couldn't do that good, just take a look at a small handful of my Ninja Turtle drawings in my Ninja Turtle 25 Years web site.

Well that's that for now.  And thanks again for this good news, I appreciate it very highly.

Speaking of my Resident Evil site, it has had a MAJOR update just this afternoon, along with the publishing of the long-awaited Resident Evil 5 page.  For those who love Resident Evil as much as I do (like that's humanly possible) check out my site by clicking the URL in my forum signature.


This message is for Michelangelo (User ID): I remember when I was in Chicago and met you and your other friends that you have developed a very close relationship with the entire Ninja Turtle Team, enough to where they all know who you are just by hearing the sound of your name.  And you even mentioned that you gained and profited off this huge relationship, including autographs, collector items, and even having an appearance on VH1.  I want to get that same relationship that you share with Ninja Turtles, but me with Resident Evil.  I want to develope a very close relationship with the Resident Evil team (game, or movie).  I mean without Resident Evil, I wouldn't of changed career ideas; acting, video game developement, writing my own Resident Evil prodigy book.  So "Michelangelo" tell me how you developed this close relationship with Ninja Turtles, I want to develop this same relationship with the Resident Evil Movie/Game Team?  I hope to hear from you soon.

[Michaelangelo]

Hey getting ready for bed right now, but figured I'd give this a fast reply.

I wouldn't really say profited by getting to know people, the stuff I've gotten and done has all been hard work on my end and maybe a few people poking me into the directions I've gone. 

Not sure how to tell someone to get into this stuff, I share my stories in the memories sections of what I do.  I'm not out there to profit off of my friendships though.  They're great people, and that's the most important thing you have to remember about anyone who's got a job that you admire.  They're still only human, and if you treat them beyond or think that you can profit by getting to know them, than you're getting to know them for the wrong reasons.  The only reason it's worked so well with me and TMNT, is because the people behind TMNT are so awesome and down to earth.  We get along on more than just their work, I get to see them for who they are.  And if I find that the person isn't someone I get along with, even if I love their work I don't go after a friendship with that person.

I started making friends with people at a young age, I travel and I keep my eyes on events that they're going to be at.  My first goal when meeting them is to say Thanks for their work, get an autograph and judging by how that goes.. make friends. 

Though I like making friends with just about anyone I meet, even a run to the store I talk with total strangers.  It's just part of who I am.  Sometimes you can make good friends at the weirdest places... I met one of my close friends at a rest area on a trip back in 2004... we were in a totally different state, both heading to the same event and both from Michigan.  We made friends on that trip, just by talking.

I never got into these friendships looking for anything to gain from it.  I have my own goals and places I'll like to be.  All I look for when I meet these people is a new friend that I can talk to and get to know, a creative mind who shares interest that I like.  Heh I've even made friends with people who work on shows I can't stand, but when I see these people I don't judge them by their work either.  It's the friendship that counts.

To do this, you have to be willing to do things no matter what others see of you.  You have to step out there and just be yourself.  You have to be willing to travel.  To keep an eye on events to see where people are going to be.  To get to know the other fans, not just to talk about what you're doing or what you like, but to know what they like and where they're going with things.

These are the things I've done, I am always proud of who I am.  I have no reason to hide, I wear my TMNT proudly.  I travel so much that I miss home a lot of the time.  I don't just keep an eye on events I update this forum here so other fans know of the events as well even if I can't make it.  I get to know as many other fans as I can, fans are great people as long as they're in it for the pure love of the entertainment.  I know so many of the members on this forum and have met over 100 internet friends.  I surprise some with how well I know them when we meet, it's because every one of us is equal and deserve the time to be seen.

When we go to events and people are meeting someone I already know, I make sure to introduce them and let them have the time with the guests.  It's not about me, nor has it ever been.  It's about being a part of a great fandom, enjoying the company of fellow fans and getting to know the people who brought us together for who they are.

Ok, this is a bit longer than I intended I really have to head to bed.  Though I don't know if this helped since I can't give any real path to do what I've done with my life.  It is the outline.

Oh one last thing... if you ever do get to a spot like those of us who have with any fandom... except a lot of people watching you for your reactions... except people judging you by every little thing you do... and except a lot of people to never give the chance to really get to know you... except people to not like ya for one reason or another... there will be talking about you behind your back that may be hurtful. 

I know a lot of collectors who've done stuff and have gotten known, much like myself.  We all have people who don't like us... and we've all been torn apart.  It's not easy. Much like Jr. High... kids needing something to out lash their anger upon and because you're known, you're a target.  So if you do proceed to try and get a huge fan status... remember this, because it's something most people don't think about... though it is there.

A very minor update added to my Ninja Turtle page.  Not even a big deal.  I only added the Tales of TMNT #68 due out March 2010, and the release dates of the recent comic books added have been listed.  That's all.

And I have a cleaver idea for a Ninja Turtle fan art drawing.  Ninja Turtles meet the Looney Tunes.  I recently took up an old childhood interest in Bugs Bunny, and I thought it would be a neat idea to make a crossover image.  Like Bugs Bunny throwing a pie in Shredder's face, or Bebop/Rocksteady holding thier laser blasters just like Yosemite Sam.  Or Granny from those Sylvester/Tweety shorts is April O'Neil's mother or aunt.  How about a Ninja Turtle running a race against Bugs Bunny, like in those tortoise and the hare episodes.  How about the Ninja Turtles travel through Space and meet up with Marvin Marsian?  I like it, I LIKE IT!  I think I'll get started on it.
