Hi, huge fan of your work on rottmnt! I was wondering if you knew whether or not a renewal of the show was on the table at all? I'm still p upset abt it's cancellation, I think it's such an excellent piece of animation, storytelling, character work, you name it honestly.

Anyway, I hope you're doing good, are having a great day and are staying safe. Thank you for all the incredible work you do, it sparked a lot of joy for me during the pandemic. :')

Thank you :) I was lucky to be a part of rottmnt and agree that it’s a really great piece of animation.

As far as renewals go, I haven’t heard of anything but I would assume no. It’s hard to revive a production after it’s been canned and with a franchise as big as tmnt there’s likely a new iteration in development (I’m not speaking with any insider knowledge, just judging from the history of the IP).

I assume by this point it’s safe to say that there’s a movie in development, so keep an eye out for that (2022, i think?). I’m sure the prospects of rottmnt getting picked back up for streaming would be higher if the movie pulls in a lot of viewers!

Thanks again though for the kind words, I’m glad my work could help spread some joy during the pandemic x)

Animation based on a series of doodles I did in a cafe many years ago

I drew a few designs on procreate with different iterations of Dale’s transformation. Yes—that’s meant to be an MJ thriller jacket in the second image.

These were early designs for ‘Dog Dale Afternoon’, a lost episode of rottmnt I boarded, written by Ron Corcillo and Russ Carney. You can see a snippet of the animatic on my tumblr.

I shared this on my Twitter a while back before it was hacked and all my old posts were wiped. This was from a lost episode of rottmnt that was cut shortly before I was able to finish. The story (written by Ron & Russ) involved Dale, April and Donnie on a quest to reverse the Baba Yaga’s curse that was slowly transforming Dale into a werewolf. I was really bummed it didn’t get animated but I had a lot of fun working on it! I actually lost the storyboard files, so this is some of the only evidence remaining. Sorry for the low-res!
