Ryan McMurry Art
 

Alrighty guys... sneak peak at my first Turtles art of 2013.
Some of you may have seen this under Donatello's foot in one of my toy pictures :)

Great detail work! I'm kind of big "details" person when it comes to fanworks (fanart or fanfiction) because it helps to bring out the emotion of the character.
The scar on the plastron, the texture of the skin/muscles, the methodical facial appearance of Raphael (as if he's just waiting to attack), the lighting and shading. It's all gooood! :D


Just out of curiosity...I'm not complaining or anything, far from it, but...are the fingers supposed to be thin? It just looks a little "boney"...that's all. Sorry if it sounds like I'm nitpicking.

The hands should be a little larger but I put a lot of it in shadow.
The fingers were meant to look a little boney in the style I was going for in this, otherwise I would draw them a little more stubby.
I also wanted the hand to look a little more foreign... not so familiar.
Also I hadn't drawn a Turtle holding a Sai in forever and I'm used to drawing people with 5 fingers holding them so it was a little hard for me to figure, from the back, how I wanted to draw it.

Great work!!!!!! :tgrin::tgrin::tgrin: :tcool: :twink:

niiiiiice, dude! Really like that Raph!

Really cool dude, loving the detail

Great rendition of Raph!

If its possible to get a commission going pm me bro! I'm always looking to add some flare to my hall of fame!

Thanks guys!
Thought I would give you the sneak preview before I go further with it.

I'm also adding Casey to the image ;)

Same over here:tgrin: Would love to get sth done in this style..especially since you kicking it off with my main buds Casemeister & Raph :tcool::tcool::tcool:

I'll see the timing. First I gotta get some art finished for my actual client I have a contract with.
AND We're gonna be moving in the month so that's hurting me as far as projections go but without a doubt I would love to take some commissions from you guys!

Here is a less than 30min sketch I just started within the last hour/hour and a half or so.

Sorry for the quality. It's from the iPod camera.

Good news. Just tell me when you've got a window opening up & I'll be down to set up sth nice

Whoa. Awesome stuff, Ryan. You're really talented.

I shall be patiently waiting....

Pacing. With my fingers arched Mr Burns style.

Very cool! That Beebop is gonna look awesome with some ink on it. :D

No prob! Just keep checking back also!
With everything going on as it is, I may loose track of who to contact and all that!

What's "sth" anyway?

Thank ya sir! I'm always trying to grow.

That's what I'm thinking already also :D

Wow! That is amazing! If I didn't know any better, I would say it's official artwork! :tgrin:

the MSI is official art from them. I produced 1 other image and, like, 3 or 4 other designs that were posted online but were never used as I had thought they would (one was a hoodie design, one was a UK promo piece, etc).

And Zombie B.C. is official... since it's my work :D

Cool! :tgrin:

For fun...
Here is a drawing I did in 2003 of Casey Jones, Don and Raph (I think I have come a long ways since 10 years ago)

All very awesome! :tgrin:

Cool stuff - I really like your style! The Bebop sketch is looking pretty sweet, and I'm loving that unfinished Deadeye Duck!

Thanks! 'cus of it's age I'll probably never finish that Deadeye Duck because of where I am artistically.
I did draw and color a sketch I did of Bucky O'Hare as a browncoat and Deadeye Duck in a Star Fox uniform lol

I was working on Bebop a bit more, off and on today.

"sth" was supposed to mean something :tlol:

What's it mean though? lol

Also: Bebop progress (iPod photo under desk lamp)
http://i1303.photobucket.com/albums/...psbd833a15.jpg

Something. Literally, the word something.

Ok, didn't know I'd cause so much trouble by writing those 3 little letters:tlol::tlol::tlol:

Yeah, Powder's right..I meant "set up something nice":tgrin:

haha well only because I had yet to see it in this whole time I been online :lol:

Another non-TMNT piece. This is from 2012

Looking good..can't wait to see the Casemeister inked:tgrin:

Awesome Casey pic and other pics, too. You really are talented, Ryan. Oh, and for future reference, I'm a girl.

Oh ya? Good to know:tcool:

Glad you guys like my work so far!

8) Bebop looks superb !! As well as Casey !!

Such a great artist!! I look forward to more!

That Casey's looking pretty cool! Really liking it so far - can't wait to see it finished!

Also, Bucky as a browncoat = awesome.

Thank you!
A friend and I had a challenge for each other to cross over or re-deisgn a couple established characters. Bucky really was the focus and I forced Deadeye in the background as a Star Fox pilot.

Casey and Bebop are ready for inks.
I have another being pencilled and another still in skeleton form :tcool:

I'm Back!
 

I'm back :)

I also have a few Turtle pieces to share from my downtime.
Bebop, Rocksteady, Casey, April and Donatello.

I just need my computer back...
