Description

I was flipping through a gallery on this wonderland known as Deviantart - a gallery I knew, I ain't crazy, there are kidnappers out there - And I found this in B&W and promptly decided to color it up all purdy and junk.
I've been craving something to do artistically but not enough to piddle with any of my own projects from start to finish, and this was perfect. I got to stretch out my creativity without having to combat whatever it is that I'm feeling that keeps me from doing actual work.
So, you guys can go thank :iconclifftothemax: for this one, plus his B&W colored version is nicely reminiscent of true, down to earth comic work. Totally worth a look, a fav and a punch in the face if you don't. (you're all on the honor system for that punch)

Aaanyway, Raph, my personal favorite turtle. He's brash, arrogant, cocky, rude and generally rather surly, so naturally, I identify with him.

Its incredibly rare that I do fan art of any type, and even more so that I bum someone else's work, I'm more fond of my own characters and my own work (and if I got over the fact that no one else is, and just did fan work, I'd find the key to artistic popularity), But this one was very fun and nice to do.

So thanks for the lines, buddy, hope I did your work justice!
