    being in high school in the 90’s was so different, I was into comics, video games, and anime... everyone treaded me like I was the biggest nerd, but now all that stuff is extremely popular!

    Trent, that Leonardo piece is intense. Blobby and jagged blacks (gotta love the thickness of India ink) and grey fades. Never used goache, though. Anyway, that’s a great and unique style

    This looks awesome by itself but if you added a waterbrush blue outline around him that turns into like a flame above him and then also some Japanese writing or a symbol Akuma style in black gray and blue...WOOOOO that would be 🔥

    The original TMNT comic was the first time I ever saw real violence in comics. Speaking of violence.... So we're you like hey Liefeld you suck!!! I want to hear more about that.

    • @TrentKaniuga
      @TrentKaniuga  Před 3 lety +1

      No. I really liked Liefelds art when I was a teenager. He inspired me to get into comics. I just messed with him about the Levi's commercial by yelling "Yo Rob... Your button fly!?". Then he'd give me the finger. I'm sure he heard that a lot.

I haven’t lifted a pencil and paper in over 10 years. “ breaks over “ I’ve been missing it but haven’t done anything. Today is the day. Thank you

It's amazing how we managed to do things back then haha. I kind of miss being made fun of for being into nerdy stuff and drawing comics. I love that underground exclusive feel. I just have to be one of those guys who complain about how nerd culture is too main stream now. Well, it is! And I no likey.

    Maaaannn that last few minutes take me back. Being a kid in 90s that read comics was definitely not considered a cool or trendy thing, especially as a black kid from the projects. I would bring stacks of comics and Wizard mags to school and get clowned every now and then. Crazy to see how things are now.

    In 90's México, comics where a big deal and a growing industry, but in that same decade somehow it collapsed. Some artists are to blame about that. Anyway, all that culture used to be cool when I was a teenager back then. And it turned back around in the 2k, and is bouncing back nowadays. That's my perception.
