Matt Slay sketch covers for Micro-Series

*oldmanwinters* · 04-15-2012, 12:46 PM

I wasn't entirely sure if this was thread-worthy, but, as far as I know, it is our first look at a cover for the Shredder [EDIT: oops, just Leo] micro-series:

Matt Slay does some nice work.

EDIT: I just noticed there's a similar thread for Matt Slay sketch art in the General Forums:

I suppose a Mod can move it if necessary.

It looks like Shredder's missing an eye.

*CyberCubed* · 04-15-2012, 01:05 PM

Wait a minute there's a Shredder micro? Isn't this news?

I don't believe it was officially announced yet like the April, Casey and Splinter ones were.

This is a retailer exclusive cover for the Leonardo micro-series. You're looking at the back cover, which is blank for sketch purposes. The one shown happens to have a Shredder sketch, but it's still the Leonardo book.

that artwork is amazing

Ah, I guess I didn't read the description close enough. If nothing else, the "#4" probably should have tipped me off.

Thanks for the correction, Rose.

There is also this: http://boards.collectors-society.com...511596&fpart=1

I did order one off eBay and asked for a Shredder torso....I love his shredders!

*Zany Orange Dude* · 04-15-2012, 02:55 PM

Wow, this is a wonderful piece of artwork. I love sketches so I really am going to try to see if I can get my hands on this cover.

*TurtleTitan97* · 04-15-2012, 04:24 PM

That Shredder cover is epic!

Just ordered one too, his Shredder is amazing.

*DonatelloFan* · 04-15-2012, 05:09 PM

I ordered one earlier today. I can't decide who I want. It seems the general consensus is that most are getting Shredder after seeing his sample work. I wish there was more TMNT art to look through so I could get an idea of what his Turtles look like.

Like I said in the other thread, I think I'm going to throw a curveball to him, and get Metalhead. Or just Donatello. I don't know.

Hell yeah, get Metal Head that would be great

*Mayhem* · 04-15-2012, 05:27 PM

Yeah, deciding what sketch to ask for. I've committed to buy one, and they said they'd ship to the UK, just waiting on how much it will be.

nickn · 04-15-2012, 06:03 PM

I really want Shredder, because his sketches of him look great. I'm also debating if I might posibbly change my mind to pick Casey Jones, Raph w/ hood, Bebop, or Rocksteady.

Dang I can't choose!!!

Princess Anri · 04-15-2012, 06:10 PM

oldmanwinters, thank you so much for posting that eBay link!

I ordered a Shredder sketch. I wanted to get a Casey sketch soooo bad but his Shredder is too good. Thinking about getting a second so I can have Casey but I probably won't.

Either way, thank you!

It was hard for me to choose too, I don't really care what I get as long as its good.

watching his livestream , he is a wonderful artist

I'd prefer to do one of these at a convention since I like things graded. A presketched cover would only be able to get a green qualified label.
