Description I tried to clean this drawing up as much as I could. I think its something that would look better inked and colored.

Here is my tribute to Return to New York.

P.S. First Triceraton than I've ever drawn that didn't look God Awful.

Edit: Few thins I noticed looking at this again. Raph's right leg is off, as well as Zog's hands being two different sizes. The lack of background... meh. I'm trying harder at them lol.

Any other criticism, constructive or not, is very welcome.

Not Casey?  Well, Raph's partner is formidable.  Both looking very fierce here.  Nice job!

Thanks me too. I'm super excited for Utrom Empire for the debut of those guys in the IDW-verse.

I just got done reading this story and the Pic captures it perfectly. I really like that you make Raph more badass than the comic though.

Heh City at War is the best arc in any version of the Turtles. To be honest Raph is my least favorite anymore though.

Considering the overall structure of the piece and the raw power you can feel from it, I think the leg and hand thing is pretty minor. It's an awesome tribute.

I've got very little inking experience traditionally. Although I find it quicker than inking digitally. But digitally has room for errors and oops.

Everything has its pros and cons But personally, I think that inking traditionally (for meat least) is a lot easier.... But of course, I haven't had that much experience with my tablet

mooncalfe [2012-08-08 17:55:20 +0000 UTC]

sweet!!! love the textures.

i agree on Raph's legs, i noticed that too, his left leg (our right) looks good but then his other one looks different like his knee in a different place than his other leg. i'd also watch out for Zog's hand that's holding the gun, it doesn't look quite like he's actually gripping an object both the way his fingers are and the perspective the gun is at. and another perspective thing, Raph's left sai (our right) looks like it's coming toward us, but his hand is at the opposite perspective angle, like we're looking up at his hand while it's somehow pointing the sai at the camera.

still an amazing piece, though, with great character designs and mood, it's got awesome energy.

haha, i like how you say UNconstructive criticism is welcome!

Yeah you've got a couple of issues, but that doesn't take away the awesomeness! I love how gritty it is. And I love the background!

Kitauri In reply to Backflipsimmons [2012-08-09 05:35:01 +0000 UTC]

Gritty is awesome. I'm still convinced that that is the reason the first live movie was such a success (at least that is the reason *I* loved it so much).

Anyways, love the pic. ^^

Backflipsimmons In reply to Kitauri [2012-08-09 09:18:50 +0000 UTC]

I agree with you on the gritty factor. Number 2 was just too silly and light hearted for me. Not ever any real danger. Like I like number 2, but no where even close to the first film.

all details really take my breath away!

I meant in the actual comic Zog's horn is bandaged. I thought it was snapped off. So I made the mistake lol.

Radical tribute, man.

It might have some weird anatomy hiccups, but there is so much detail in your pencils.

Backflipsimmons In reply to oldmanwinters [2012-08-06 23:12:33 +0000 UTC]

Thanks It always seems right when I'm drawing it. I notice those 'hiccups' right after I post something, or right before (and just forget to fix them).

My detail is sloppy I think though. Instead of correcting mistakes, I just draw harder over them and try to cover them lol.

Also I need to learn an alternative to hatching.

plasticplayhouse In reply to Backflipsimmons [2012-08-08 11:28:27 +0000 UTC]

learning alternatives is fine, but hatching/cross hatching is a method that gives such beautiful and gritty detail. its an art staple

another excellent piece by the way.

Thank you. I love hatching. I'm just wondering if i can mix it with something else.
