TMNT ASAP!


Tonight, I had the pleasure of stumbling upon a TV airing of Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles, the movie (thus the reason for the preceding post). I decided to try my hand at drawing these cultured mutant bastards again and this is what happened. Every time I sit down to sketch an icon of my childhood, I end up putting these characters through an aging and fattening process.

I present you with Raphael, The Middle Aged Mutant Ninja Turtle.

He likes PBR.

Let's be honest, how long did he expect to keep up his high-flying, sai stabbing lifestyle with a pizza diet. You don't want to see what I've done to Michelangelo.

i might take you up on the spelling of raphael vs. rafael but that band is clearly red, not purple.

them's fightin' words.

click on the image and you can clearly tell that that band is redder than the red-assed baboons from the lion king.

you might even be able to see a hint of yellow in there because i initially intended to blend yellow and red to make orange for michaelangelo.

redder than lucille ball.
