i heard you dont like digital art

this was fun. I originally said i would rough out the sketches then move in digitally. then i remembered someone talking about a lack of value in digital art. well...i had to bust my ass to get this done because unlike the speed and cleanliness of digital traditional takes time and space. two things as a grown man with a job, getting his masters, married, with two dogs and a cat, doesn't have much of. SO ANYWAY this is for the digital art haters. We didnt all start off with a tablet in hand. some of us "digital artists" started with crayons and moved on to graphite. Dont be so quick to judge what "is" and what isnt art. This is for fun, it is to challenge our ideas of art and quality depending on style and taste. I threw some colors in after i scanned it in.

PS the original is done on 14x17 sketch pad with Unipin fine lines and a sharpie. in case you cant read Chinese the top says Ninja Turtles. names in order left to right.

Leonardo,
Raphael,
Splinter (took some license with this name as i could not find an appropriate transliteration of it; literally it means the Rat Master)
Michelangelo, and
Donatello

For this weeks challenge Turtles in Time. I chose Ancient China.
Will upload the lines shortly if anyone wants them.
