Cudley the Cowlick

Okay, Cudley the Cowlick is one of the more obscure characters from the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles universe that I've been wanting to draw for a while. He's a trans-dimensional ... cow head featured somewhat regularly in the Archie Comics TMNT series.  He scoops up passengers into his mouth & transports them to other parts of the universe and it's usually treated as a dark & slimy experience. Michelangelo seems to get along well with Cudley pretty well though, and Cudley always calls out Mikey specifically when he makes his appearances to the turtles.

As for the origin or reason for why Cudley is what he is, I have no clue & don't think it's ever really been established... which I prefer. A lot of the time, I'm a " less is more " sort of fan.

My rendition is a mixture of a few of the different artists' versions from the TMNT Archie Comic. His hair only appeared as I've shown it, ( with what I think is an actual " cowlick " if I'm not mistaken ), during Cudley's first appearance in the comic book. I feel like I'm explaining too much.

OH! ANYway, Michelangelo is introducing his cat, Klunk, to Cudley in this pic. FOOF!
