Hi Sophie, I was hoping to get an Alopex drawing from you, please let me know if that would be possible! My kiddos and I love the character so much. @batmanofbaylor on IG or thru here. Thanks so much! -Zach
Hi! Unfortunately I'm not taking commissions at the moment, I'm swamped!! -_-

Realized at work today I could just ask you a question I've had for years now. So, Dranac, the city from Shadoweyes--is it pronounced DRAN-ick, dra-NOK, DRAY-nack, some other way...? I'm curious! (Thank you in advance! <3 Fan of your work since I stumbled across the first two volumes of Wet Moon back in college!)
Originally it was supposed to be dra-NOK but I ended up always saying it as DRAN-ick and that's what stuck! And thank you for reading!! <3 <3 <3

Hello! Hope you are doing well.
I was recently rereading the TMNT band arc and I was wondering if you happened to have any singer in mind that you imagine as Koya’s singing voice? The way Jenny went out of her way to find a less ballad-like singer and a more “rough around the edges” voice to better suit the image for her band that she had in mind, I can’t help but imagine something like Courtney Love’s raspiness in Hole’s “Doll Parts” album… But I was just wondering if you wrote Koya’s singing voice imagining anyone/any band in particular!
Hi! I was imagining death growl/shriek type vocals for Koya, like early Cadaveria or Fernanda Lira from Crypta: From the Ashes by Crypta Spell by Cadaveria Nemesis by Arch Enemy

Sophie...... Will Raph and Alopex EVER fix their relationship? I still feel it's ridiculous to have everything they've been through be destroyed by something Raph had no control over, Raph had no intention to hurt Alopex whatsoever,although he definitely could've said no to the team up with Shredder it was wrong I'll admit, I'm not saying one is wrong or one is right,I think they're both in the wrong with Raph teaming with Shredder and Alopex abandoning them, and I'm mainly scared of their Battle Nexus issue being a mirror of Ralph's nightmare of him fighting Alopex and accidentally stabbing her, they.... They're still my Favorite Ship, they still make me happy in their older issues with their kiss and ....Dammit I'm sorry I tried to get over this but I Can't, and believe me I was livid as all get out when you said you had no intention of having them break up, I have a hard time letting things go(half stubborn half Autistic) and it's not fair to you for this, I may not like the direction you put those characters in but I don't hate you, I still love your beginning TMNT works and I want you to succeed with Super Girl and other Projects, please don't think I'm being a jerk, just please keep doing your best and continue inspiring more Artists like me
Keep on Drawing.... Have a great day
I'm not actively working on TMNT anymore so I don't know what will happen with Raph and Alopex after Battle Nexus. When I wrote all that Alopex/Raph stuff, I couldn't have known I'd be off the series afterward and not be able to follow up on those storylines, if I'd known I might have written things differently. I didn't deliberately try to leave things hanging, I really thought I'd get that Alopex mini-series spin-off right after #150 and be able to continue the story, but that's sometimes how these licensed franchise series go. Maybe Gene Luen Yang will bring Alopex back into the main series and revisit some of that stuff but I genuinely have no idea, I'm not involved in any of that anymore. So yeah, my answer to will Alopex and Raph get back together is I honestly don't know.

Oh wow you still have them, that's wild! I don't think I have any copies of the original 3 issues anymore, they're long gone. I only did runs of like 20-30 copies to sell at conventions, it was really small. There was also a collected book of the three issues plus what I had of the unfinished 4th issue. I still think about it often and hopefully I can go back to it some day! :')
Hey Sophie, I’ve been following your art close to 20 years. It’s one super obscure comic you made that I had always wanted but wound up missing out on for reasons I can’t remember. It involved an orca warrior goddess who was also a cannibal…I can’t remember the name of it to save my life
Mountain Girl! I've been trying for the last several years to get a revamp of it going but things keep getting in the way. Thank you for sticking around all these years! <3

I’ve been really enjoying Supergirl so far and I’m excited to read more!
Just a question about something that I noticed on a turtles reread, what the heck is Koya wearing in Lita’s explanation of the bad future? It looks like some sort of armor, but that doesn’t really seem like her current vibe, so I’m wondering if there’s anything deeper that was put into that decision. (Also I just thought it was funny when Bludgeon was standing next to her looking exactly the same as his present self)
Thank you so much! Love your Pepperoni icon!!!
I did a pitch years prior where Koya shows up from the future and she had cybernetic wings and a sort of cyber-suit/cyber-armor, the pitch never happened but Koya wearing armor in issue 113 was supposed to be a similar idea. I have no idea why I didn't give Bludgeon a gritty bad future design, lol. Missed opportunity!

Just want to say I love how you designed your dwarves. A variety of body types and fashionable beards.
Thanks!! :D

Greetings!
Ghiveing that an old fan favorite from the Archie comics as Ninjara/Umeko is finally brought into the current IDW TMNT universe , I wanted to ask, if possible, what are your expectations for her future ,especially as the first one to ghive us a hint of her coming into the series, almost 2 years ago (as of now)?
Do you think she will be used in future storys in this series, in ways that will develop her character ,that will be set up after the events happening in the Battle Nexus series OR will be an unfortunate case of "one off characters" that appear just in this story line / arc and never again (like it happened with Tokka and Razzar)?
And, on the topic of return of a fan favorite, are any ideas still on the table for a future Alopex mini-series, especially after her long disappearance from the series and quite unexpected return in this Battle Nexus event?
Don't get me wrong. Her return means everything to me and I can't wait to see what will happen, ghiveing that, she was never used in such events, of this type and magnitude until now.
Is just... she still falls short when it comes to a real mini series for herself and ghiveing everything that happened and will very much go down in the tornament, I feel there's more then enough material to be used for at least one mini series on her. She dose deserve that and it dose feel loong over do to get something to really see what makes her tick as a character, when she is also the main star ,imo.
But, what's your opinion on this matter ?
(Thank you again for takeing a moment of your time to answer my questions! Hope I don't get into big spoiler territory with any of them and I really can't wait to see what this project has in store for us !)
I hope Ninjara will have more storylines but I really don't know what's going to happen! I had a bigger story planned for Umeko that was mostly discarded but I'm happy I was able to get her into Battle Nexus in some capacity. As far as expectations go, honestly I'm trying not to get my hopes up but we'll just have to wait and see, and whether or not I'll be involved is another thing entirely. It's possible other writers will do things with the characters, I really have no idea what might happen.
As for Alopex, I'm hoping her appearance in Battle Nexus will springboard into a mini-series or something but again I really have no idea. I think out of all the supporting IDW TMNT characters, Alopex is the one with the legs to stand on her own, she definitely has more than one mini-series worth of adventures in her. Ultimately it's up to IDW and Nickelodeon, though, it's a gamble doing projects that don't feature the core four turtles or other big name characters like Shredder.

Hello again!
One last question about the Battle Nexus series (and I hope that it won't get into big spoiler territory with it)
Are Alopex and Raph gona have more moments of interaction between them other then issue 3? (as in, befor that issue or after it?)
I'm not working on issues 4 and 5 (each one is by a different writer although we're all working off the same outline) so I can't say for sure exactly how much interaction they'll have, you'll have to wait and see. I believe issue 3 is Alopex's first appearance in the mini, though, so she won't be in issues 1-2.

Hi! It's super cool to find you on Tumblr! I recently got back into the TMNT series after finding some of your work on it! I wanted to say a quick thank you for being such a big inspiration on my artwork!
Now, question time! I was wondering, what drew you into the comics industry? Was there anything in particular, like any reads you recommend? Also, do you have any favorite projects you've worked/been working on? Thank you for your time, and keep up the amazing work!
Thank you so much! What got me into comics when I was young were Calvin & Hobbes and the original Eastman & Laird TMNT comics, I used to try to imitate those art styles and draw my own little strip type comics but I didn't really take it too seriously until I was in my late teens/early 20s. It's tough to say what my favorite project of my own is, usually once I produce something I never look at it again, but I'm still pretty proud of Wet Moon volume 7, I feel like I was really cooking on that one.

One year after the wall came down around mutant town, did mutagen bomb victims demand their human children back who were taken to fostercare or raised by family and friends.?
You'd have to ask the other writers who have worked on TMNT since I left!

Hi Sophie, always good to see your work on another TMNT story even if it's noy the main series, just asking for the hype since i know you can't talk too much about it but. Is Ninjara going to have some sort of interactions with Raph or Alopex? I know there will be much more to show on the issues but i wondered if these characters will interact a bit.
There's some interaction, yes, not in the issue I'm working on but there's some in issues 4-5. I can't say anything beyond that! You'll have to wait and see.

Hello!
Glad to see you are back as both writer and artist in a TMNT project ( even if it was just for one issue /cover )!
And what a surprising project at that.
The Umeko/Ninjara cover for the issue 3 of Battle Nexus is absolutely breath takeing!
Really can't wait to see more about this new and unique take on a character as classic as Ninjara.
Just 2 question, if possible.
1. Is this crossover event really part of the same canon as the current main series?
As in, are those the same Splinter Clan ,Alopex or even Slash that we know? ( I know this might be an odd question, but, I saw similar types of crossovers like this one befor, and a good part of them are not acsully canon, being acsully completely separate time lines.)
And
2. Are Alopex and Ninjara going to interact in issue 3 or even befor (or after) it?
Or is that something we will have to wait and see in the future ?
Hi! Glad you like my Ninjara cover, thanks! :D
Yep, same continuity!
No interaction in issue 3, no, but there's a bit in subsequent issues. I can say no more!

Hi Sophie! Is there anything you think you might be able to say about Ninjara/Umeko that doesn’t go into major spoiler territory? Your cover of her looks amazing
Thanks so much! She's from another dimension where are there are no humans or mutants, she lives in a swamp, her soul is located inside her tail, and she is magically compelled to obey an evil sorcerer. The covers they've released so far are a bit misleading, she isn't actually a combatant in the Nexus, she's a bodyguard for the person running the tournament.
