Description
In case you're wondering, this here's an unused boss that was to be in Metal Slug 5 before being scrapped. Too bad, because it's an awesome-looking boss, and quite mysterious as well. It was never revealed what came out of those openings in its chin and belly. I just drew a gun in randomly.
A massive ID4 laser would be cooler, but all the flashing would get in the way of the turtle. Oh yeah, I drew it from a lone sprite found on this fansite-- "Metal Slug: Missing In Action". (google it! it's got cool stuff)*whew* well, finally got an old fanart idea out of the way.XP Holy crap, this was hard. No wonder I procrastinated so long! Took like several drafts, and I was gonna stick one of the heroes in, but got lazy after busting my ass on the boss's weird anatomy.XD Alright, enjoy! I'll be making a lot more pics in just black and white because I've fallen in love with charcoal, thanks to Drawing class.

This is the only turtle that nobody wants to fuck with at all.

It is now available in Metal Slug Defense. It normal attack is stomping and its special is firing missiles from the launchers hidden inside it on the sides.

The REAL boss is the native wearing the mask in Mission 1, he's called the Ptolemaic Boss. When he dies, he transforms into the Scyther.

Great artwork, and yeah, this thing totally should've been used in Metal Slug 5 as a boss.
However, it wasn't completely scrapped. At the beginning of Mission 5, you can see that the Stone Turtle is used as the base of the tower. You have to look a bit carefully to see it, but it's there. Too bad it wasn't used as a boss or miniboss though.

I found out wut tat thing uses. It fires a laser from its belly, missles from the sides and when the head hides pretty much nothing happens.

I can't decide on which is more awesome; Death (MS5's Final Boss) or this.

Wow, man. The camera angle/perspective screams EPIC.
Too bad these bosses never made it into the game. It would be a blast to fight them, especially the cult leader
Fav'd!

Wow! This unused Boss would've been SO MUCH FUN to fight in MS5 and it is indeed unfortunate that it got scrapped for I agree with you! It does looks very awesome! Very nice sketch of this unused MS5 boss shadowspark!

A scraped boss idea? Shame, it looks like it fits the Metal Slug world well.
Looks pretty good, excellent work on the perspective here. Amazing looking details and shading as well.

None, the cheapskate designers just shortened the game. There was gonna be another boss as well! The Cult Leader! Really sad they had to axe all these great designs.

This came out really well. I love the hazy, grainy texture. It really lends itself to an overall atmosphere and accentuates the detail of your pencil work :>

I like how the guns look. Shaded attractively, too.

wow, that is really cool looking o.o! I really like the angle you drew it in. All the little details in it are fun to look at too.
I love black and white art XD <3 Especially when it's well done...

hey, thanks!^^ I used to like color better, but now I know that color can sometimes be a distraction. Black and white really brings out the form and composition in an image.

I know, I know of that unused boss character - it's amazing you can find things that are unused within the game engine itself, even though the final game doesn't use them...

yeah, huh? It's cool to imagine how they'd fight, too.

Really now? tsk.tsk..
This boss never made it to the game! It's an unused sprite!
But, it's probably just cuz the turtle's belly looks just like the Mother Ship (the final boss on MS2).
As for the China level boss, yeah it's awesome.

And this is done with coal ? My god, terrific ! Reminds me of Star Wars and these giant 4-legged tanks. Really nice how you put some detail into the gun in its belly... Long live coal.
