ETA: ~54viruses wrote a lovely story to go with this picture X3 I highly suggest checking it out
I Promise I'm not getting all preachy and overly artsy on you people. 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. 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 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~ Snow Brush - [link] Please don't trace my art! Also please don't repost is anywhere on the web. I know it's fanart but it's still something I did and worked hard on. Thank you! Commentswow, thats is awsome
i love the snow, and how theres footprints. raph, your going to catch a cold. -points finger at him- lol anyway, berry nice job. -- "Need Advice? Need someone to cheer you up? Sorry, I may smile alot but I fail at cheering anyone up. And Advice, I REALLY fail at that too, sorry. I do care but I just can't help TMNT = 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 -- Yever 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? thank you very much
Maybe some-one with better story-writing skills than me would be able to come up with something XDDD -- Just as Swordsmanship is more than fighting, art is more than drawing.

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~ -- Family: ~Renoa-Heartilly ~FriendlySlig ~Rikku-Heartilly 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
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 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. -- Just as Swordsmanship is more than fighting, art is more than drawing.
