This piece took some time. What I first did was scan in a picture of a man. Then darken his skin so it looks like the black under clothing of Shredder. Then I used a image from the disk Visual Reference for comic artist volume 1 of a chrome staute( I also used this on the Martian Queen). By morphing the chrome to fit my ideas. Then I scan in a comic cover of the Ninja Turtles and darken it so that shredder would stand out. Then I illustrated 2 tear. Then I did some glares. Also I did glowing eyes. Enjoy
the mettalic effects on this are amazing it really is a great picture.
i need to ask about the reflections on the though, armour 'cos they look like a row of suburban houses which kinda makes me wonder if shredder is coming home from a hard days turtle bashing.
