Art Roundup: Spotlight on Raphael (TMNT)

Welcome to Art Roundup, where we pick out a different comics character each week and spotlight them in the way of rad fan creations, like drawings/paintings, cosplay, custom toys, and more. This week’s spotlight was originally going to be on the TMNT in general, but I decided to go for Raphael, because he’s just adorable.

I mean, come on. He’s got water balloons.

Jess aka JBadgr did some fab detail work on this drawing, including an awesome tat sleeve on Raph which you can see in detail in her original post.

Japanese artist SchNe11 made Raphael look like a total badass on a bike.
