Thanks. I like it too. It's one of the few older pieces I keep in my main gallery.

Two  years later, I think I appreciate this piece even more.  Love the ominous shadows of the Mousers while Splinter maintains a tense but relaxed position.

Also, the whole layout reminds me quite a bit of the wonderful IDW Splinter Micro-Series cover:

Thanks. I don't usually enjoy looking at my old sketches but that's one I do still like.  But that's also because I really like Splinter.

BTW, I swear I'd never seen that micro-series cover until a year after I drew mine. lol.  At least I don't remember seeing it.

It's a beautiful piece.  And part of the appeal is that it seems we are getting one last glimpse of Splinter's serene moment before the peace is disrupted by a home invasion!
