Description
I wanted to create the old master Splinter in a more dynamic pose. Most of the stuff i've seen, got him in a boring meditation pose, or just standing there with his cane. This dude might be old, but he can still open a can.
What you all think?

Looking good Kirk! You've got a really nice sense of design and your colors are spectacular! I especially like the way you used the floating leaves to lead our eye right to Splinter.
My only crit would be to make sure he's got a nice silhouette. I think by moving Splinter's left arm away from his body, it would really give things a little more room to breath and make for a clearer pose. That and watch out for those tangents! But those can sneak up in anyone's drawings if they're not careful.
GREAT work Kirk! Can't wait to see more!
Your pal,
Chris

thanks dude for checking it out!!
yeah you may be right on that silhouette. I always hear other artists saying how important it is, to make a clear pose. As for the tangent are you talking about the mountain edge touching his right ear? now that i look at this, its kinda bothering me. didn't even notice it before. Thanks man!

Sure thing man. The mountain/ear overlap doesn't bother me too much because there's enough overlap, which is great that you made that choice.
One example is the point of Splinter's staff almost touches the tip of eyebrow. They aren't quite touching but it's a little close. Try pulling elements like these away from each other. It might just create a more readable and comfortable illustration.

Well glad they're helping man. It's always a little tough to give and receive crits and since I haven't done that much of it, it's nice to hear I'm making a little sense instead of just rambling on!

Agreed. The cane is nice but not necessarily needed.
