....there's a bunch of ninjas behind me, isn't there?

Oroku Saki, the Shredder. A true O.G.

Inked with a brush and rapidograph tech pens on bristol vellum and colored in PhotoshopCS4.

  2. Thanks man! There was a LOT of trial and error with this one.

    Once I had it inked I knew I'd have to do something to seperate Shredder from the ninjas because it was kind of a mess. I tried everything from a "mist" gradient between the two to "color holding" the blacks on the ninjas. I even tried using the halftone pattern in various other places and nothing was working until I got to this configuration.

    Took a lot longer than I wanted it to, but the more I look at it the more I like it (which is the opposite of how this usually goes).
