NEVER! I never understood the fascination with Raphael.

haha. Thanks. The character is totally based off of the over the top 80s action stars.

Thank you very much! Glad you dig it. This one was pretty fun. I'm sort of subtly making fun of the character in this drawing.

it's his expression. i could imagine this version of Raph having a clint eastwood voice.
course the Donny pic i saw of yours made me think of chrisopher walken for some reason.
" Leo... The Foot. It is on the move. he Foot. Is on the moooove."

hahaha. That's funny. I hadn't really thought of what voices I would give them, but those are really funny.

Hehe, So Lets see. Donny is Christopher walken, Raph is Clint eastwood.. I would have to say that we go with Either Bill Pullman or CJ Thyne ( Who both sound very mature) for Leo And as to Mikey? Well either Brad pitt or The guy that played Kumar ( as in Harold and Kumar.) Mikey always reminds me of some sort of stoner with horrible munchies for some reason. Sure he was a ' party dude', but It doesnt mean you have to be sober to be such xD

Yeah. I was going for a bit of a snapping turtle influence in this design. Seemed fitting.
And, yeah. Did you see that new TMNT movie? Totally emo. I thought he was going to put on black mascara and start crying at any minute.

WonderDookie In reply to KreepingSpawn [2010-05-23 19:29:05 +0000 UTC]
Oh really? Urgh. There were some times where he got real bitchy (especially that final showdown with Leo) where I got REALLY annoyed with him. I did like the vigilante aspect though.

WonderDookie In reply to KreepingSpawn [2010-05-23 21:13:30 +0000 UTC]
Exactly, since above anything else he's supposed to be more like the nihlistic hero that just wants to kick some ass.

haha, this raph looks beast. I like the direction you went with him. The tough yet quiet brute approach I think fits him the best. When did he get emo? If that's true, then I'm pissed with that. He was always my fav turtle. What kind of species is this based on?

WonderDookie In reply to BluDrgn426 [2010-05-22 16:48:04 +0000 UTC]
Yeah. That's what I was thinking, and it's totally a throwback to 80s action heros.
Urgh. He got totally emo in that new TMNT movie. He was such a little bitch. It was annoying.
I was going with a bit of a snapping turtle influence in this one. (But tried to make the horns of the shell look like the collar of a leather jacket).

Man, the new Raphael annoyed me too and was always my least favorite too... I like the fact that you make him look badass, they take the "teenage" part of the name too serious, he's freking annoying!

WonderDookie In reply to Samolo [2010-05-23 18:32:12 +0000 UTC]
Yeah. He was SO WHINY and overly dramatic. I wanted to slap him. Even if I would get my ass kicked for my troubles.

Why did they go and make Raphael so emo? If you have a super hero team does there have to be an emo one?

I've been trying to wait until you were done with all the turtles before I began my commentary, but this rendition of Raphael has forced me into action. The expression he has is very true to the character, and his elbow bracers and sparring gloves (they're sparring gloves, right?) really leave an impact. They imply that he takes his training seriously and passionately. Very nice work, Dooks. Your shapes still amaze me, by the way. I was inspired by your gallery to try something new with a recent submission, I really dig how you do your thing.

WonderDookie In reply to KrimeFyta [2010-05-07 03:42:52 +0000 UTC]
No. They aren't supposed to be sparring gloves, but it's a similar idea. It's supposed to be those fingerless workout gloves that everybody used to think was so awesome in the 80s and early 90s.
Thank you much man!

Oh right, like power-lifter gloves. Sorry, homes. I've seen a short-cut version of hand-wraps that look just like what Raph's got there.

Raphael shouldn't be EMO! He should be ANGRY! Why would they do that?! He's the strongest and most aggressive of the TMNT, and now he's INSECURE?!

And the worst part is, it's not just Raph who has to put up with that garbage! It's MANY characters who have to deal with it! From becoming parodies of themselves, to becoming pale imitations of their former selves, From "The Simpsons", to "Buffy the vampire slayer" to "Family Guy" writers seem to think that change is good even when it's bad just so long as it's not TOO obvious, but the problem is, it won't stop there! today we're getting "Emo-Raph", tomorrow we're getting "obsessive-compulsive-Leo" then "Too-dumb-to-live-Mike" and last but certainly not least, "So-smart-he-can-invent-something-that-can-easily-save-the-day-in-no-time-flat-but-we-need-to-force-some-drama-in-there-somewhere-so-instead-he's-just-going-to-wait-until-later-before-he-does-Don" WHEW! Now THAT was a long one, but it'll happen someday, mark my words, it'll happen...👍: 0 ⏩: 1

I'd settle for them just getting as good as they used to be! "The Simpsons" used to be about satire and spoofs! NOW it's about insulting people while trying to amuse them! How is that even possible?!
