A design challenge with my TMNT OC, Tadashiro Sabanna. Here I have drawn her from the following:

TMNT '87

TMNT 2003

TMNT: Fast Forward

TMNT: Back to the Sewers

TMNT 2007

TMNT 2012

TMNT 2014

TMNT: Out of the Shadows

and of course, Rise of the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles.

This took me a little over a month. Started September 9th, finished on the 9th today. Isn't that funny?

So one thing I wanna point out, Saben in the 1987, 2003 and Fast Forward designs did indeed have dark brown hair before she had it changed to black with white accents. I felt that giving her a different hair color would make things interesting for her character design and it was inspired by the fact that Sally Acorn in the classic Archie comics had her hair go from blonde to black then to red.

Talk about a process, am I right?
