RAPHAEL
So I'm back to digital painting. I was pretty confident while working on this one and it went quicker than my others. I still had trouble here and there, but it really wasn't too bad. This is for a fan fiction graphic novel called "Dawn of the Ninja" which brings the turtles back to their gritty roots. That's why Raph looks a little sinister here. But I knew going in that I wanted the moon to be the main light source as well as neon signs here and there. It wasn't supposed to be Chinatown at first, but it kinda ended up that way. I think it gives it some character and fits the Ninja theme.
Fun fact: It looks like there are hundreds of foot clan, but it's really about 15 repeated and cut and pasted at different angles. Gotta love Photoshop.
