Description
Here's another version of the Mikey, I must have watch this movie 50 times in 2 weeks. This was done from memory though and not from looking at anything. The colors took me a few minutes, nothing special. Although I did like how the drawing came out. I'm torn between which to stick with.Either Stick with what I did before or go with this look. Or combine elements from both drawings. I have to make a decision quick on this.
I think this is nice an' all but I'm afraid that this really isn't me just a rendering of the movie character even though it's from memory. I don't really like my original design style, but maybe it's best to go with what I had before and edit this piece to look like what I had before. I need to stick with one style and I don't think that this really is me. and I don't really like me because being myself can suck.

I visualize it in my head before I start. Look at it and think about it. picutre what it would look like if I do it this way or that way, and then I just go for it.

I would actually suggest more of a flow for your line work. The colors are excellent, but the character could be more natural. Think of the pose for your Juggernaut piece and compare it to this one. Start with the smooth line, then do the rest. You obviously know how to do the rest. Excellent coloring.

That's absolutely amazing how you captures him. The ink and coloring are very wel done and im always impressed by your ability to shade.

Well, first thing I saw before I even read the description, was that you got the look of the head just right from the movies. (I must confess, I could recite the entire script from memory when I was in grade 3) But like you said, if it's not you, then don't go with it.
Superb pic nonetheless.

i think the knee pads & belt you gave him is very cool

well, this one IS cool, but i liked the other one better. Mikey rocks

I haven't seen the movies in so long that I can't see the high resemblense from just looking at your drawing. I really prefer this anatomy compared to your last character sheet, and I don't really see much of a change as far as the design for the costume goes, but I can understand you not liking it if it looks too much like the movie. Well, it's grand. Like all your other work.

mikey was allways my fav turtle. Guess it was cause of the nunchakus.

I totally dig what you've done with the outfit. If anything, he doesn't look quite dopey-yet-cool enough. I think it's the eyes; the mouth is right on the spot.

It looks like a drawing you would see for a new TMNT movie. Just awesome!

*deed*
Wow! It's too bad that you don't like it, because I think it came out damn good. The coloring job is wonderful! The value and light source are dead on beautiful. Not to mention that it looks like a snip from the movie it self.
And all from memory! That's the real kick to the pants for me.
Splended job... I hope you find the "You" style.

But that's the reason why I don't like it. It's not me, it's just something from a movie thing. I have to learn to be myself. Right now I'm not really liking the stuff that I am creating by myself, but I have to learn through my misstakes in order to get better, to create my own style which I feel will benefit me more in the end.
I like the drawing, but I don't like it as a representation of me and what I do.
Thank you for the comment. :]

I know what you mean, I'm kind of going through that same phase. And I've made many'a' mistake

holy phucksticks,man!
Do you realize the humongous buckets of talent you have?!
You are an inspiration to many! Always trust in yourself!
This is great!...wow. just...wow

I far and away prefer this version for any number of reasons. realism, anatomy and design spring to mind, ofhand. I say stick with this one.
Unless you're REALLY uncomfortable with it.

u should have him this way but with the color he was in the cartoon.great work man.

I really dig your realistic color treatment... Great job

Awesome man, great drawing! How did you start? Drew it, then scan and painted in photoshop? Any tuts you can pin point to? heheh, I WANT TO KNOW EVERYTHING!
Really really cool man. My only crit(and maybe you already notices) is the his right foot. His toes seem a bit weird, but still rocks.
Keep it up!

awsome, its the proper likeness from the film. man do i love the turtles. i saw the new cartoon the other day. im glad they havent butchered it like they have the theme tune. excellent work, brings the radicle dude to life

this version definitely has the dark feel of the movie with the dark shading and the look of his head. if you wanted it to have realistic weight to it? you've nailed it. one thing though, the shin pads look a bit too bulky to be for a ninja. i think it's just where the shin pad meets the foot pad.
as far as making something shitty... that is not in your blood. i've been watching you for like what seems like 2 or 3 years. and you've not posted anything sub-par. i dont want to say anything like, "you've improved" or you're doing "better" but, that's the truth. you have amazing talent, and i'm sure you'll make the right decision.
peace.
