Hi guys here is my latest Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles Fan Art.

I'm getting more anxious to seeing the new movie and I really do wanna see some concept art and designs
already on how they look like.

I'm really looking forward to seeing what Jonathan Liebesman is going to come up with. Not sure if you guys
liked his Wrath of the Titans but the visuals in that movie are awesome. I'm hoping that the Turtles will be
on that level or beyond with the advancement of the technology and specially if they are going to use
the technology WETA used for Rise of the Planet of the Apes.

Anyways enough with my babbling is my fan art which was done in Photoshop.

================================================== ================================


Hi guys it's been a while. This is an old one that I am currently revisiting and develop to all four turtles.
I did this one one 3D but will continue to work on it in 2D as it is very time consuming for me.
Also guys I have started a fan page for all my works where I will be sharing my current stuff I am working
on and also my works in progress.

Here is the link.

Hi Everyone,

I have just recently joined here and looking forward to some Turtle discussions.
I am also planning to do some of my versions of some of the characters.
First one is Bebop.

Thanks guys:)

[BubblyShell22]

Awesome redesign. I love it.

[TurtleTitan97]

Cool drawing dude.

[Voltron]

:eek: WOW! I am impressed. This seems reminiscent of work I've seen before. Are you on DA?

[SherlockJr]

Great artwork!

[oldmanwinters]

I saw your Bebop the other day on DevArt. I look forward to your future installments!

[zkarlette]

Wow! That's so cool very realistic and detailed :o love how you kept the glasses.

[Donnie]

Looks like Rapoza. Great job man!

[Master Splinter]

This is some amazing work. Can't wait to see what you got next.

-ms

[Samhain]

Awesome work!

[vshen]

Thank you everyone for the kind comment, I really appreciate it:)

[Luzmagica]

^ :o:o:o:o Awesome!!!! Great work!!! Cant wait to see more art from you!!! :tgrin::tgrin: :tcool::tcool::tcool::tcool:

[vshen]

Yeah I'm on DA Voltron

Again thanks everyone for stopping by my thread:) I'm really looking forward to getting all
the other Characters done:)

For anyone interested here is my Gallery at DA

[Ravenxl7]

Absolutely beautiful work on Bebop. I look forward to your take on the turtles. This definitely compliments your work on your Thundercats redesigns. Much like with your work there, I'd love to see you get hired to work on the Ninja Turtle movie that's in the works.

I have an idea/suggestion. Feel free to use it or ignore it. Really depends on how much work you have done on the turtles atm. Something I would love to see, is each one of the turtles designed around a different species of turtle. Like have Donatello be a sea turtle and Raph a snapping turtle.

[TheCanadiandrome]

Gnarly Bebop! Love it!

[Plasticplayhouse]

awesome bebop rendition! cant wait to see more :)

[vshen]

Thanks again everyone for stopping by and the complimetns. I really honestly appreciate it:)

Thanks again for the for the compliments Ravenxl7 and thanks for taking time to look at my Thundercats work.
I will definitely consider what you have said, I do have something in mind on how I will do it but you have very good suggestions:)

Here is my take on Master Splinter. Since I was first exposed to the Turtles through the 80s cartoon, I preferred the origin story where he is Hamato Yoshi, so I put some human elements in him.

http://i26.photobucket.com/albums/c108/vshen/artwork%20submissions/Master-Splinter.jpg

[Ravenxl7]

Really good job on Splinter. I honestly had forgotten that they used the human origin for him in the old show (it's been quite some time since I've seen most of it). Keep up the good work.

You're welcome.

Awesome. Just an idea I had. If my drawing skills were better, I would do try it out myself, lol...

[oldmanwinters]

And here I thought Half-Rat Yoshi from "Splinter No More" was creepy lookin'! Your version takes the prize!

[Koschei]

Loving the creepiness going on!
Not really feeling Bebop's shades but at the same time your going for an ultra realistic/modern look so I understand.

Sweet Bolo Yeung in your DA gallery.

[Oculus Orbus]

Wow, that's fantastic!

[vshen]

I'll take that as a compliment o thanks:)

That's kool, just trying different directions right now with the characters. I'm going with my current mindset right now but it may be different when I revisit him again.

Thanks for stopping by my gallery:)

Wow, that's fantastic!

Thanks for stopping by and the kind words. I appreciate it:)

Really good job on Splinter. I honestly had forgotten that they used the human origin for him in the old show (it's been quite some time since I've seen most of it). Keep up the good work.

I'm more familiar with that origin and I prefer it.

[vshen]

I'm actually in the process of doing a new Rocksteady image but I just wanted to show the old one I did a few years ago which I still like and still basing it to the current one I am doing.

http://i26.photobucket.com/albums/c108/vshen/artwork%20submissions/Rocksteady-Concept_800.jpg

[zkarlette]

Man! You are really good, can't wait to see the new one.:)

[vshen]

Man! You are really good, can't wait to see the new one.:)

Thanks zkarlette I appreciate it. Stay tuned for some of the new ones coming soon:)

Here is another oldie. I still haven't completed my current ones so just sharing some of my old turtle stuff.

http://i26.photobucket.com/albums/c108/vshen/artwork%20submissions/Ninja-Turtles_4.jpg

[Redeemer]

Wow amazing pic, I love the shredder in the in the background, pretty awesome to say the least

[vshen]

Wow amazing pic, I love the shredder in the in the background, pretty awesome to say the least

Thanks man for stopping by I appreciate it:) I need to do the shredder soon:)

[vshen]

Hi Guys it's been a while. I have started somoe new TMNT art that are urging to be completed so stay tined for that. For now Here is a Raph that I did a couple of months ago. More to come:)

Also is to cool upload some other fan art from other shows I did?


http://i26.photobucket.com/albums/c108/vshen/artwork%20submissions/Raphael-Portrait_10.jpg

[Machias Banshee]

Wow, these pictures are Incredible... :) Fantastic realism..

[Chester manley]

Awesome! This is a really cool take on those characters!

[vshen]

Thank you Machias and Chester I honestly appreciate your kind words and for stopping by:)

[BubblyShell22]

Wow. These are some awesome pics. I really like the one of all four Turtles and Shredder in the background as well as the Splinter one. So awesome.

[Blossombrooks]

Your work is just beautiful, the detail is out of this world! I can't stop looking at the Raph one, its on another level. :tgrin:

[frank_one]

The turtle on last picture.. he looks just like John from Jim Lawson's upcoming "Dragonfly" :tgrin:

https://s3.amazonaws.com/ksr/assets/000/318/180/334c06a24233ead101a74cab2dab514a_large.jpg?1356708 967

[vshen]

Thanks BubbleShell22 I'm glad you like them. The one with Shredder in the background was a lot of fun to do and I am also happy that you like Splinter because that is how I envisioned him in live action situation if we followed the story of the 80s cartoon where he originally was the human Hamato Yoshi. It is how I got introduced to the Ninja Turtles and the one I am most familiar with.

Blossombrooks: Thank you very much for your kind words and for visiting. Yeah Raph took a while because of all that detail. Stay tuned I have more coming:)

frank one: Thanks for visiting:) I am not familiar with the story but judging the from comic page it looks very interesting:)

[Slade]

Awesome lookig stuff. Keep it up. Have to say I'm not a fan of the nose on Raph, but it's still awesome.

[JoshDA7X]

Awesome lookig stuff. Keep it up. Have to say I'm not a fan of the nose on Raph, but it's still awesome.

I'm with you on the nose thing!

But regardless, these are amazing pics! you can see the time and effort that been put into them!

[snake]

Awsome pic, just no nose...

[vshen]

Guys is it okay to post some non turtles art here? I do have some more turtles stuff to post but it might take some time to finish them so I figured if I could share some other art in between.

this section is specifically for TMNT related art only, there is a non TMNT art section in the general discussion forum, I honestly dont care if 1 or 2 non TMNT pics where in this pic as long as its mainly TMNT PM a moderator will give you the best answer

[Slade]

Do you know or are you a fan of Alex Ross? Your style is very similar to his.

I am fan of a lot of artist and yes Alex Ross is one of them:) He's great:)

[rpd123]

These pics are really awesome. I don't know how you do it, I suck at being artistic.

[Slade]

I am fan of a lot of artist and yes Alex Ross is one of them:) He's great:)

For some reason I had a feeling you would be. Your style with these remakes reminds me so much of something he would do.

Creepy and well done!

That's pretty cool art, I have read that the Turtles in the movie would have a more humanoid like appearance to them, while still be recognizable. What if they look sort of like that?

[Ulisses31]

[...] I have read that the Turtles in the movie would have a more humanoid like appearance to them, while still be recognizable. What if they look sort of like that?

I like very much to see different takes and great imagination on concept art and fanart, but for official stuff these Turtles are not what I want to see on movies.

[DonatelloNinja82]

My mind is absolutely blown. This is amazing. I am in awe.

[vshen]

@Shark Blade: Thanks mate I really appreciate it:) I wanted to do more but I have more projects waiting.

@TigerClaw: Thanks, not sure what they will look like and what they mean by 'humanoid', but like everyone else I am just really eager to see them already.

@Ulisses31: I understand that everyone has their own version of what they wanna see in the turtles and I'm sure when they do finally reveal them, some will love it and some will hate it. You just can't please everyone.

@DonatelloNinja82: Thanks for your kind words and for stopping by, I really appreciate it:)

These are my old concepts of Rocksteady from about 5 years ago. It was digitally sculpted in Zbrush.

Seeing the Ninja Turtles trailer last week inspired me to complete this unfinished

I am happy that inspiration struck you so!

[stevecameron]

Amazing work. I wish I had your modelljng/sculpting skills. I do enough 3D modelling to get by cos I'm more interested in animation. Anyway, keep up the good work. Would like to see what you would do with Kraang.

[vshen]

I am happy that inspiration struck you so!

Thanks oldmanwinters I really appreciate you stopping by, yeah I guess I'm just looking forward to seeing the movie. I'm gonna try to get a few more artworks in before it comes out.

Thanks stevecameron I honestly appreciate the kind words, I'm not really a pure sculptor but I use it as one of my tools to do my illustration. I guess I love it enough to incorporate as one of my techniques. I definitely will try to do Kraang very soon, so stay tuned:)

[vshen]

Ok been a while since the last update. So here is my version of General Traag from the 80s Ninja Turtles.

http://i26.photobucket.com/albums/c108/vshen/Art%20of%20George%20Portfolio/General-Traag-Portrait_Final.jpg~original

[pennydreadful]

Wow, Traag looks great!

[Lou 500]

I'm with you on the nose thing!

But regardless, these are amazing pics! you can see the time and effort that been put into them!

I'm also with you on the noses, they looks a little too human. Everything else though is ace.

[vshen]

@pennydreadful: Thank you very much I appreciate the kind words and for stopping by :)

@Lou 500: Thanks for stopping by mate I appreciate it also thank your the compliment.... as for the nose thing on the turtles I guess my love for apes kinda rubbed on their design :)

I just recently finished Usagi Yojimbo. I really enjoyed doing this one.

[Ninjinister]

Mother of God!

[pennydreadful]

Usagi looks pretty intense - I certainly wouldn't want to mess with him...

[Anton Chigurh]

your are truely talented.

[vshen]

Thanks pennydreadful and Anton for the very kind words and also thank you very much for visiting I really appreciate it :)

[vshen]

Just finished this today, another tmnt fanart. This time it's Krang. I always like him in the
original cartoons but I also liked how they expanded his species (utroms) in the 2003 version which gave them a lot more depth.

http://i26.photobucket.com/albums/c108/vshen/Art%20of%20George%20Portfolio/Kraang.jpg~original

[pennydreadful]

Great work... he looks so alien and creepy! :teek:

[vshen]

Thanks @pennydreadful I appreciate it. Those two words you describe was what I was going for when doing this :)

[Raphtastic]

Wow, vshen, you've done some impressive work here! It's all fantastic!

[vshen]

Thanks @Raphtastic. I'm glad you like and I truly appreciate the kind words. I love the fan art and and links to fan art that gets posted here. So many talented people with so much different styles
and I just love the variety. Great to see artists making the turtles in their own way.

I just recently completed this and it's my own version of Baxter :)

http://i26.photobucket.com/albums/c108/vshen/Art%20of%20George%20Portfolio/Baxter.jpg~original

[pennydreadful]

Totally digging your BaxterFly! :D

[Gin Rummy]

Baxter looks Amazing! Great Artwork!

[vshen]

Thanks @pennydreadful and @Gin Rummy. Yeah he is one of my favourite villains from the 80s cartoons. Not really sure how I feel about him in the 2003 version.

[vshen]

This is on old Shredder sketch I did. Haven't really done anything further with it so here it is.

http://i26.photobucket.com/albums/c108/vshen/artwork%20submissions/Old-Shredder-Sketch.jpg~original

[Raven]

Thats badass Vshen! Looks classic and noble, you should do more with that design!

[pennydreadful]

Totes, his armor looks way boss. :)

[vshen]

Thanks @Raven, yeah I might take this sketch a bit further or will sketch another version with a different pose but base it on this design.

Tanks again @pennydreadful, I'm glad you like his armour :)

[vshen]

This was a challenge yet enjoyable piece to create. It's my own version of Rocksteady and Bebop and it's basically to celebrate the actual news of them being in an actual live action movie as it will be the first.
With Karai I still used beautiful actor Brittany Ishibashi who is casted for the TMNT sequel but with my own version of her character.

Here are a couple of Usagi pieces I did. One I finished recently which is the portrait and the other one I finished a while back. He's got a bit of kangaroo look to him on the second one but I didn't really notice while I was doing it and I'm too lazy to change it now.
