Lineart - Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles III, "plan B"

If all goes as planned, I'll be offering a fully colored print of this at Chicago Comic Con, in addition to the colored version of this page.

This is an idea I've had floating around in my head, half-formed for a little while. I think it started formulating around the time the Angry Video Game Nerd did his review of TMNT III. Basically, this is a "what might have been" of the third Turtles film, using the same basic premise: April and the Turtles are transported back to feudal Japan. But, in this version, they meet up with the ancient Foot Clan, who, according to Turtles lore, were an honorable group until the corruption of Oroku Nagi, Saki's older brother. It's arguable that the core Foot Clan is still honorable, they just have a blood feud with the Turtles, but I'm getting off-topic.
The Turtles meet up with the ancient order of Foot Ninjas, and eventually battle the original Shredder- the big demonic "Tengu" Shredder from the 2K3 series. Okay, so that character hadn't been invented by 1994, but it's my picture, dammit. Threw in some Foot Ninjas and Mystics as backup for the green teens.
Fan service-y April included, because I care.
