Well today I'm happy to be able to share with you guys something that has been in the works for a few months, but which I initially teased over 1 1/2 years ago. Here it finally is!
"Live and Let Fly": http://night-glare.deviantart.com/art/T ... -652675147" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false;
Some of you will remember "Fly-Bonds are Forever" that erikson1 did for me shortly before his complete disappearance from Deviantart: http://www.deviantart.com/art/Fly-Bonds ... -524369282" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false; Originally, erikson1 was supposed to do 3 more pieces for me in this Bond-spoof TMNT poster series, and he had already been paid in advance for them. I waited, and waited, and waited for his return, and sent multiple notes to him. But I never heard anything back and nobody else seemed to know what happened to him either. So after more than a year-and-a-half of waiting for his return, I made the difficult decision to find another artist to continue this project. It wasn't easy to find someone who could handle a project like this, and with the right art style I was looking for. Finally though, I settled on Deviantartist night-glare (http://night-glare.deviantart.com/" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false;) and boy oh boy...am I ever glad I did! I think when you see the final results, you will agree that he was the right man for the job!
So enjoy "Live and Let Fly" in all its glory, and if you like it, please leave some nice comments for night-glare at Deviantart. I know it was a very difficult and time-consuming project for him and he'd never done anything on this level before, so I'm sure he'd appreciate all the positive feedback you can give him. I really want him to be the "official" artist for this poster series going forward and I can't see anyone replacing him as long as he wants the job. Hopefully he will work his magic pen for me again when Baxter returns for "The Man with the Retro-Mutagen Gun."

Thanks man, glad to hear you liked it. I recently also commissioned night-glare to begin work on the sequel poster too, "The Man With The Retro-Mutagen Gun." Three guesses who that is. This time, April and Tiffany will once again find themselves in a bit of a bind.

Very cool parody. They did a lovely job with Irma

Thanks man. Good to know that people are enjoying it. I totally agree on Irma too. Night-glare did a great job on both her and April. I thought from the beginning that she ought to be in it. Irma DiD pics seem pretty rare so it was a good chance to show her some love.

Thanks man! Good to hear you're enjoying them. I already have night-glare working on the next poster for me so keep your eyes open for that before too long!
