Josh was able to pitch his concept for Heavy Metal 3 directly to Kevin Eastman, co-creator of the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles, who owns the Heavy Metal property. From the time Josh asked me start, to the time he actually pitched it to Mr. Eastman, I was able only to create this penciled version to compliment Josh Prikryl's presentation. I had my good friend Josh Lewis work up the logo treatment and credits, having fun with using names of actors I liked.
Now that I think of it, to help the presentation, maybe I should have used Kevin Eastman's name as the director, eh? Sigh. Oh, well. Sadly, Kevin Eastman went in another direction with the movie, which left Josh Prikryl out of the running.
However, I had a blast working on this piece! I keep trying to find time to go back and do a full color version of it. One day...
