An important step on the path towards true enlightenment is the unison of mind and body.
kiriyama1084 is enjoying the opportunity to receive some personal meditation training from everyone's favorite rat sensei. ( Meanwhile we have the opportunity to watch them -- But please be quiet, or you might ruin his focus. )

This is actually the first time I've drawn Splinter fanart based on the classic 1990 live-action movie. He's rather underappreciated nowadays, and it was fun to add another version of Splinter to my growing collection.
( Edit: Replaced the file with a slightly less dark version. )

Thanks! It's fun when the background tells a little story or two. I was going to add more background detail but kinda ran out of ideas and steam towards the end.
( By the way, does the scene look too dark on your browser? It looked fine when I worked on it, but I'm not sure if I should brighten it up a touch for the web version. )

I've seen a few different variations in the reference pics I gathered ( from the first two movies, and some toy miniatures ), and I think I used a darker base tone in the original rough concept for this illustration. But since the background and fur tones are dark, I figured the robe could provide a little more contrast. I did want the overall scene to be fairly dark, to go with the style and lighting of the first movie.
Ah, I guess you're too young to know the original Turtles movies. ( On the upside, there's tons of good movies, cartoons, games and music from that era for you to dig into. ) I watched the first TMNT movie again before I started work on this commission, and it was still surprisingly fun! If you don't mind some goofiness and 80s/90s aesthetics, you'll probably enjoy it.
