Description
Yo!!!I did this Raphael drawing a little while back, around the same time I first saw the trailer for the new ninja turtle movie.
My good buddy Sean Parsons hooked up some inks, so I decided I would like to take a crack at the colours. I tried some different techniques on this one. I have also made a version which is all grey toned using zip-a-tone techniques in PS. I'll post that one up later today.
Raph is my favourite turtle. Dunno why, but I always dug him the most.
Lookin forward to that flick...yep!
Hope you guys like this one

haha...hell yeah! I'm down with that. I like to think that the real ninja turtles would have a couple of beers with their pizza too.
Come to think of it, I don't own that DVD either....might have to hunt it down.

Damn straight!!! How else do you think i could teach you the finer points of difference between the very cool portuguese and the passable "brazilian"?
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
hahaha....look man...I'll do you a favour and I wont tell my girlfriend you said that
I won't be at Supanova myself. I'm actually heading up to Brisbane this weekend to go hang out for 2 weeks, so I'm completely missing the conventions again. I should be back next year though.

Gotta love the contrast beetween the turtle's kinda dark colors and the bright saes

Nice! Like the line work and the colours, too!
Also, what are the zip-a-tone techniques?
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Hey...thanks man.
I just posted the zip-a-tone version so you can check it out here: [link]
zip-a-tone is basically the illusion of creating grey areas using fine screens of evenly spaced black dots. Its an old art technique which is still used a lot in black n white comic books.

I've always been a turtle fan and a raph fan in particular. He appeals to the rebel in us.

Cool work Jon, but I don't dig a lot the new turtles design
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
ah...thats a shame...I'm really into them myself i think they are a good blend between the cartoony stuff and the comic book designs.
But...to each his own!

Very nice - I like your turtle style, and the textures in the coloring look great. Alas, I can't pick a favorite TMNT anymore... Raph's definitely cool, though. 
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
haha...Good stuff man! I will be there myself looking forward to seeing the all cg turtles. I think I'm kinda with you these days too...It is hard to pick a favourite turtle. The movie might make the decision easier for us all though. I guess we'll have to wait until March to find out!

Ah! I was in my 20's when those fellows showed up during the b/w comic's renascence. Low printing costs probably sparked that. Just like low overhead is sparking the web-comics renascence! I wonder if Jason and Lard are still in control of those turtles?
