#raphael redesign

[sirwolficus]

punches my wall its TURTLE TIME

[idiot-mushroom]

designs for my ‘through your hollow bones’ au i’ve been working on :))

[u3pxx]

fuck it i guess we're making our own little gay tmnt 2012 rework now

[iridescentmidnights]

Let them be cute 2023

[pagemargin]

A little sketch trying to recreate that scene from 2012 but with my iteration

So Splinter is missing his right arm and he’s building sized like he is TALL and also you can kind of tell that Raph is pea sized

[microsofttothemax]

finally figured out my raph design!! quite happy w how he turned out, he’s just a spiky boy :]

DESIGN NOTES UNDER THE CUT

his scales and coloring look pretty simple, but it was difficult to find a green pallete that i liked. i wanted to keep in his primary color, but add a bit of ✨flair✨ to him

originally i was going to leave him with a blind eye, but figured that after all the krang shit and the infection he’d probably get, i figure it’d be safer for the boys to just remove the eye altogether lol

his head shape probably changed the most, and for good reason. i wanted to capture his snapper traits w the spikes, and i figure he’d look cool w a “mohawk” of spikes down his head (he did, so i kept it)

the mask was a pretty easy solution to the spikes, just followed his turtle tot ref for that. also yes i kept the bow in his mask, it fits him quite well :]

all in all a success!!

Here's some more concept art for that turtle knights AU I mentioned a few weeks ago. The AU itself doesn't have an official name yet (working on it), but the plot is going to be basically like...something between Princess Tutu and Shrek?? Kinda??? I'll give more details in an upcoming post, lol. At the moment, just enjoy the designs.

About the images: I did not know much about medieval plate armor going into this, so I had to do quite a bit of research to get a better idea of how I wanted them to look (and also to prevent their designs from being too similar to one another). One of the things I was most conscious of when making these was the characters' shape language. The shape language in Rise is - *chef's kiss* - SO good, I've always loved how each of the turtles has a primary shape that's clearly present in multiple elements of their design (i.e. triangles for Leo, squares for Raph, circles for Mikey, and rectangles/cylinders for Donnie). I tried to carry that over into the helmet and armor designs so that they'd be recognizable even in full body armor, hopefully it was successful.

Second image is me trying to work out what I want their helmets to look like, as well as figuring out how they might emote while wearing them. Because obviously, real helmets don't reveal the wearer's facial expressions, but that looks incredibly boring and static, and I want people to be able to tell what the characters are thinking lol. Raph's gave me the hardest time, I'm still not totally sold on his, but the other 3 I'm pretty happy with!

I also updated their weapons of choice: Raph now has a mace/morning star, Mikey has a sling, Donnie is using a war scythe, and Leo's carrying the classic arming sword that medieval knights are often depicted with.

More to come soon - stay tuned!

🎵 Raphael is cool but rude 🎶

The mandatory angst

[probably-not-a-rutabaga]

I can absolutely see Leo trying to calm Raph down during a panic attack from the events of Clash of the Mutanimals and Insecta Trifecta in your AU.

okay so technically both of these episodes happen pre-splinter's death, BUT IDC I WANTED TO DRAW LEO IN A BOW

[extinction-arts]

Turtles...

I CANT STOP HYPERFIXATING OM TMNT. ITS ACTUALLY DRIVING ME CRAZY. Now, I love all tmnt stuff but rottmnt has the most appealing designs imo, soo... I redrew them. BUT made them look like their species.

Mikey : Box Turtle Leo : Red eared Slider Donnie : Spiney softshell turtle Raph : Alligator snapping turtle.

I love these big idiots sm, although Leo and Donnie are my favourites. SPEAKING OF DONNIE, HERES LINEART FOR SMTH I HOPE I CAN FINISH WITHOUT HAVING IT CORRUPT FOR THE 5TH TIME.

I gave Donnie his glasses back btw. I missed them

[iridescentmidnights]

It’s giving Donnie saying “he said no pickles” on Leo’s behalf and everyone else is there for moral support lol
