I quit all social media for a while. I've deleted my accounts a couple times over the years and I know its a hassle for you each time I do that. Thanks for reconnecting with me!

80's 合作アニメ『リトルズ (The Littles)』の "ルーシー"を描きました。このTV シリーズで演出をしていました。
日本では放送しなかった作品なので知ってる方は少ないかな。妖精のような小人たちと人間の子供ヘンリーのお話。

Various Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles (NES) development art.

合作アニメ『ガジェット警部 (INSPECTOR GADGET)』のペニーを描いたら懐かしくなって"ガジェット警部"を描きました。
日本では昔放送しただけでしたが、実は外国では実写映画化したりCGアニメシリーズ化したりの人気作品なんですね。

The first of a few Zelda prints that I'll be dropping this year.

You can get one here: https://t.co/L9nVnQS2XG

@Cyote_Wolf Hey thanks! This is great to hear! I'm constantly trying to find the way they look best in my mind and always going back to the beginning.

[Ben Bates @benbatesart]

Got into a Ninja Turtles kick a little while ago and drew these for fun.

Experimenting with how to incorporate colors on the arms and legs.

I did thumbnails for Leonardo and Donatello but got distracted from finishing them haha

[Ben Bates @benbatesart]

@KnightyOne1 Ok yeah, that'd be super easy!

[Ben Bates @benbatesart]

Slowly but surely adding my cover prints to my shop!

Originally Geoffrey's eyes were yellow (I wanted a way to show he'd switched over to a villain) and I thought about using it for the print but settled on what readers would have actually seen.

[Ben Bates @benbatesart]

@KnightyOne1 Are you referring to the line art from the original? Or the line art for the recreation? The recreation would be easy enough but the line art for the original no longer exists. That's part of the trouble.

[Ben Bates @benbatesart]

@KnightyOne1 Whoa, thats super cool! Never saw this! I imagine they probably would have sent me a complimentary copy but I asked them to stop pretty early in my career cause they sent me everything the company put out each month (which was nice but its too much!). And yeah, I colored it

[Ben Bates @benbatesart]

@KnightyOne1 Yeah, after looking into it that's what I'd have to do. And then I couldn't recreate it exactly the way it was. Then it makes me wonder if that's really what anyone wants. What do you think? 230 recreated?

[Ben Bates @benbatesart]

@KnightyOne1 ah man, I'm kicking ideas to get it!

[Ben Bates @benbatesart]

@MobianMonster Yep! Or its an option, you can do unsigned or signed with a doodle

Commission for @IceHobidon492!

The concept was a 'Modern' take on the original Satam Tails. Could anything be more fun?!

[Ben Bates @benbatesart]

Another commission for @Estefanoida!

This time an original character, Tempo!

[Ben Bates @benbatesart]

Pencil progress of a jam-packed commission for @TrueCloakmaster!

[Ben Bates @benbatesart]

My Casey Jones is now one of the convention prints you can get from @CaptainEhud (the voice of Casey himself!). Could life get any cooler?!
