Powders Art Gallery
 

Here's my art extravaganza. I'll post sketches, full pieces, color jobs, all types of TMNT work.
I got a drawing tablet a few weeks ago, and since then the quality of my work has really improved. Thanks to how convenient the process is, I'm drawing a lot more often, too. I'm hoping to update this thread regularly, but feel free to follow me on deviantart (link in sig) to stay up to date. Everything here is colored digitally.

This set of turtles of course was based on Jim Hensons designs, from the first film.
I'm hoping to do Casey, Splinter, April & Shredder in the near future. These were drawn with the Tablet.

This piece is of Don (circa Secret Of The Ooze) and his stunt actor, Steven Ho. Done for a contest of Stevens (that I ended up winning!). This was also drawn with the tablet.

Here we have the dynamic duo Tokka & Rhazar. Drawn by hand.

Tatsu & The Foot Clan. Hand drawn. Noticing a trend here? The first film is my favorite thing to draw.

I've not yet colored this piece, but the line art is done. Leo VS Shredder circa Tournament Fighters for SNES. Drawn with the tablet.

Hand drawn cascading turtles. I have a version with a digital background, but it's kinda distracting.

Last but not least a simple sketch of Leo that I decided to hit with some color. Tablet drawn.

You've made some remarkable progress over the last year or so, Powder! These all look fantastic!

Always lovin' some Powder art! Can't forget to add this one to the gallery!

awesome job.

Wow. I swear everyone here is so freaking talented, kinda makes me inspired to do art again.

always love your work (especially the picture of Don at the top!) keep it coming buddy! :)

Awesome stuff! Keep 'm coming!

Thanks for the kind words everyone, thought I'd update with something I literally just finished.

This is 100% digital, drawn/colored with my tablet.

Nice work! Very edgy. Love your other stuff too!:D:tgrin::tgrin:

Your color skill have improved tremendously, great work! Impressive, congratulations.

Nice! Love seeing your work on here - the particular attention paid to the darkness of the first film is respectable and is a very nice touch! More?

Maybe. :) I'd like to do Shredder/Casey/Splinter/April before much else, but I do plan on drawing the campfire meditation scene one of these days.

Powder, I still think you are one of the best artists I've ever met! I really hope sometime you'll start speaking with me again. I miss ya, buddy!

Loving the Tournament Fighters one so much!

And your most recent one is freakin' awesome. Love the colours. There's something slightly Harmon-esque about the turtle, in my eyes...

Great work. You are definatly one of the best artists on the forum.

Great work, thanks for sharing. Luvin the trench coat Raph.

Again, many thanks everybody! Just finished this one here.

Some nice work here Powder, I like the last 2 especially. Keep at it =)

Wow! So nice work!!!! Keep it doing!!!!! Soo cool!!! :tcool::tcool::tcool:
I def like as my favourites: that 100% digital draw with Splinter, the Leo VS Shredder circa Tournament Fighters for SNES, I will like to see a colour version! and the Draw Cascading turtles!!! :tgrin::tgrin::tgrin:

i really dig your art work. i'm a fan of a lot of your deviant art pics as well. my fav is probablly mikey and don waitin on the pizza guy

I LOVE the Tatsu picture. It looks like he's playing the world's most serious game of "got your nose."

Awesome stuff, G.

Thank ya!

The latest piece is one of the Nickelodeon turtles!

http://i52.tinypic.com/2607p0i.png

Very cool. You put the logo in there just so everyone knew it was Nickelodeon? Anyway I like it a lot.

I suppose you could say that, in design (or at least how they came out) there isn't much to differentiate them from the 2k7 TMNT.

I finally got around to coloring this Jim Lawson commission I got in '09.

http://i56.tinypic.com/211t4xc.png

Interesting to see a Lawson Leo with a Blue bandana

I do like Lawson's art. Very cool

Yeah, I ain't that happy with both the cutting, and the text, but you get the jist:

I'm guessing its a story based on the spiritual plane, starring Leo. In which he makes contact with his dead sensei, Splinter. Or something!

Nice colors on the Jim piece, looks great!

Wow! This is fantastic!!!!:tgrin: I think I would love this hanging on my wall. One thing I'm not too keen about is the colored straps on the weapons. Still, I think the turtles look amazing. I even love how you remember the color of the foot wrappings on each turtle.:tgrin:

I have the comic of Splinter's funeral, and the way Leo is drawn looks like the one from the issue. This must be Jim Lawson. I don't care if they were red masks in those comics. The warrior looks better in blue. I even like the accessories in front of him on the table.:tsmile: Oh yeah, and I love the ooze coming down in the background.:tsmile:

Just a quick question: How do you get your pictures on like that without having the troulbe of filling up your files? Do you link the pictures from deviantart? How do you do that?

Haha, that mock-up is crazy, Tookie!

I just finished this bad boy after watching my favorite OT episode "The Cufflink Caper".

http://i52.tinypic.com/rbz0g9.png

Like I said on your DevArt account, Powder, that Cufflink Caper homage brings a smile to my face!

Just finished this sucker here, well, coloring it. Leonardo was drawn by the great Kevin Eastman (in 2011, this year! Whoooooo! New art!), and the background etc. I made in photoshop. I think it came out sick as hell, won't lie.

http://i56.tinypic.com/k9hwjq.png

That's so cool! Great job! (you and Eastman I suppose)

Gracias, I had a blast coloring it. I will likely do another of his soon, he put a bunch of new art on his website.

Wow that looks really cool.:)

awesome work!! this tablet you work on, what software does it run? and if you dont mind me asking what does it set you back.

I love your gritty color style, Powder!

I'm making good progress on my fan comic (I'm in the process of coloring it myself, woohoo!), but I'd like to get your opinion/advice on some coloring strategies. Would you mind if I sent you the first four pages in the next couple of days for you to examine?

Thanks, it can run with virtually anything from Microsoft paint, to Photoshop. I think I paid 80$ including shipping & a 2 year warranty.

Sure thing dude, shoot 'em to my email addy.
