Teenage Mutant Ninja Mickey Vinylmation

I grew up with the Ninja Turtles in the late 80s, so I decided to base my superhero on one of them! My favorite of the 4 was always Raphael, so I went with the red bandana. But I guess it could be any of the 4 Turtles really, because they all originally had red bandanas in the comic. I kept Mickey Mouse's colors for his face, shorts, shoes and gloves. Gave him a crime-fighting gritty look and an "M" on his belt for Mickey, and that's that! Enjoy!

Vinylmation Illustration "What the Blank?"

I wanted to put onto paper the part of the design process I usually don't get to post here...the thinking process. I've always loved drawing hands, and it doesn't hurt that they're always an easy subject matter to find! Lots of left hands in my illustrations for some reason lol. Anyway, this is me thinking about my next design at my desk. I used pen & ink, black marker, and acrylic washes for the hand.  I call it "What the Blank?"
