I moderate over@hisstank.com now. A new contest was started earlier this week for the best sigs. It has to be WWIII themed, the new storyline from DDP in the new gijoe comics. Seems interesting.

Anyways Storm Shadow is my favorite character and since I haven't uploaded in a while I decided to post this.

I chose to combine the costume looks of the upcoming anniversary figure with the 2002 color scheme. Think of both costumes combined, it will be very easy to customize the upcoming figure in 2002 colors. I always felt like the 2002 version was never did much justice. Of all the Cobra based costume designs he had, that was the most menacing one.

This was fun to make and this is the first time I have drawn Storm Shadow in a very long time. The Iching was utilized on the background horizontal wise(an Iching tatoo is found tattooed on Storm Shadow's forearm during his origin issues during the original Marvel run. It turns out this is the symbol used by the Arashikage clan).
