Bluh bluh bluh Lord Shen sketch. Yes. I watched the commentary tracks for both Kung Fu Panda films today, so the need to art was almost inevitable.
I’ve tried drawing my darling ~husbando~ a number of times in the past, but I think this is the closest I’ve come to something semi-movie-accurate (the use of references this time helped). That beak of his drives me up the wall, though. ARGH. Redrew it so many times.
Wonderful likeness! (And on an even smaller note, I like that it’s in purple, my favorite color.)
And ohman, his beak—I’ve tried drawing Shen before too, and his beak is a tough detail, but it is important to his design.
