Casey Jones

Over on The 5th Turtle Blog, there's been some debate about a recent re-design of Casey Jones for the new season of TMNT. As far as the design itself goes, I can take it or leave it. The debate rises from the fact that it's veering away from the traditional Casey character as we know him (they've got him armored up like he's a Teen Titan or something). Yeah, he looks pretty cool, but for me, Casey has always been about the elbow grease. I'd rather see him in torn jeans and blue chucks than a polished superhero get-up. He doesn't need "gear" when he's got his golf bag.

I've been home fighting a mean cold today, so I sketched up my take. Still needs some work, but good or bad, I'll paint in up and post the final when I get a chance.
