Toon Turtles

On November 19, 1983, the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles were officially created by two young gentlemen named Kevin Eastman and Peter Laird. Kevin was the first to sketch a bipedal turtle with Nunchukus strapped to its arms and calling it a 'Ninja Turtle' while Peter suggested adding the 'Teenage Mutant' part. A legend was born and the rest, as they say, is history. In honor of their anniversary, I decided to submit a picture I made of the four in the style of the original 1987 animated series. This was a basic piece, no background, fully drawn and colored by me around March of 2000. Yes, it's old, but it's still a classic.

Happy 26th Anniversary, Dudes!
