Description
Heres another portfolio piece, a final illustration of a redesigned Raphael. I always figured since he was basically the tortured soul of the bunch, he'd be a loner and most likely to be boozing a alot.I wanted to add more stuff to him but at the same time didn;t want him to seem weighed down with stuff, So I kept his pack simple.
be sure to check out my other TMNT re-designed of Rocksteady----> [link]

I'd Love to see your take on the rest of the turtles! Especially Donatello!

I love that you did a quiet moment for him. I think the only time Raph would stop acting tough and snarling at everyone is when he is alone. He comes across as both a loner here and lonely.

I was looking through your badass president art and I saw this and it made me like your art even more. I <3 TMNT more than anything else in the world.

This is very cool, and I like the look on his face, but I have a question... Where did Raph get the tattoo? Splinter would kill him if he was seen.

I'm absolutely loving these. I love that you're infusing the designs themselves with more details and personality, and I can't wait to see more, including your sketches!

Have I mentioned I'm especially gratified that you obviously referenced real turtles for the hands/feet?
Because I am!

raph is definitely the best out of the turtles... he's got the most complex personality and moral internal battle.

Best Ninja Turtle ever. Your rendition is my favorite out of all the ones I've ever seen. I particularly like how "turtley" he looks.

Ya man your work is good... how much do you sell your prints for?
and im interning for a blackline comics and have to say that a lot of the submissions they get are good but by far nothing is nearly as good as your work brother... youd be a killer comic book artist.

Thanks dude, my prints can be located here, I'll slowly be adding more to my shop. [link]
I appreciate the compliment sir, does Blackline have a place where I can submit art? I looked and it says their website is down.
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Ya they do... There website is currently down for maintenance but it will be operable soon. Keep checking up on it though...
But yeah even if you didnt work for them, all youd need is a good script and literally any publisher would pick you up! I guarantee it!

alrighty, I'll keep up submitting. Hopefully someone somewhere will see some potential in me!

Well since you bring it up, lol, I was wondering if you'd be interested in an idea I have for a graphic novel. To be honest it actually is inspired by your latest picture of bigfoot fighting teddy. I have a very thorough idea of the story and how it would all work out/make sense... However, I do not want to pursue the idea unless I have you as the artist. Now, as I have told you I'm currently interning for Blackline Comics as writing staff/marketing and have a short story published.
Basically, we would work on the idea back and forth from a script i'd right and then you would start the pages... after we get about half way through the project we would begin sending it out to various companies like Dark Horse, IDW, DC and Image. And we would also send it out to smaller companies as a fail safe (viper, BMR, Orangutang)...
If you are at all interested in this and want to hear my thoughts on the story email me at saltenberger@gmail.com and then I will start working on the script to show you what I have in mind... And if you would rather pass on the project just let me know either way...
Thanks,
Mike Salt
