Artist's Comments

ETA: ~54viruses wrote a lovely story to go with this picture X3 I highly suggest checking it out :heart:
:pointr: [link] :pointl:

I Promise I'm not getting all preachy and overly artsy on you people. :iconwooooplz:

No, the reason behind the title is simply because I didn't want to just name the picture "Raphael".. ..so, since I'm a giant dork, I used the etymology BEHIND the name "Raphael" instead. :slow: in some very strange, obscure, fangirl way, I think the name suits him. Technically Raphael means "It is God who heals" but since the meaning behind names are never word for word set in stone I took a little liberty with it... heck I don't think I could even call it "liberty" XDD it's more or less the exact same thing.
Raph is named after the Italian artist Raphael Sanzio... but I just can't shake the fact out my head that "Raphael" is also the name of an Archangel XD;;;

ANYWAY, forgive the extremely nerdiness :D
This picture doesn't have a story behind it. I wanted to draw Raph and I wanted to draw him non-pissy. Oiginally this picture was gonna be a lot more dramatic, but when I drew it I really didn't like the result at all. So I redrew it from a different angle and took a few "Steps back" from Raph. It took away the intensity of the picture but since I didn't have a story to go with it I felt it didn't matter and just changed the mood of the picture. And then I put him in the snow. The backgrounds kinda rushed but I kinda like it.
Where is he and what has shaken him up? I do not know. Maybe you guys have some ideas?

I like the colours in this, and I like How Raph turned out... I tried to show both the bone of his shoulder as well as his bicep and I hope it reads right. I wasn't using any anatomical reference so yeah.

ANYWAY (again), I'm rambling over a picture with no story! XD;; Hope you guys like~

Even if the image doesn't have a particular story it does a lot for itself to make up its own. The expression on his face really makes me wonder just what it is that he's looking at or thinking of.

Nice work :3

Y’ever heard the saying, ‘Sticks and stones may break my bones, but chains and whips excite me; so tie me up and throw me down, and show me that you like me’?

Maybe some-one with better story-writing skills than me would be able to come up with something XDDD

No critique this time~ cause I think I'm in love with the neck and collar bone area~ :love: I adore his eyes! It's almost like he just came across an angel and he cant believe his own eyes~ XD

Another scenario is that he's at the farmhouse's porch looking at one of the second floor windows, but who knows what he's seeing; maybe someone sitting on the roof? A beautiful dark sky with a brightly showing moon? A meteor shower?

Your guess is as good as mine~ :slow:

8'DD 5 minutes ago I was looking at this picture and opened up photoshop to actually CHANGE his collar-bone and neck but ended up not doing so because I wasn't sure what to do with it! Now I'm glad I didn't XDD :heart:

XDDD I kinda thought he looked like he found an angel too. Maybe it's the title combined with the picture? I dunno. I'm not complaining :D

The farm house might actually be a good location for this picture. It would certainly explain why he's running around outside where he can be seen!

anyway thank you very much~ I'm glad you like it X3 especially since I value your opinion very highly. :blush:
