Description [link]

I was in a very bad mood on Tuesday and needed a way to vent my frustrations. So I drew this.

A friend of mine had a bit of a talk with me regarding my continuing bad mood I've been carrying around for the past month or so. After talking for a little bit I felt a lot lighter. He told me I need to buck up for my own sake, since I'm sending off a lot of negative vibes and it's not good for any-one. I feel better after speaking with him although I am ashamed that I seem to have pushed some people away due to my aggravations. This picture isn't relevant anymore, but I wanted to finish it since I still liked it simply as a picture.

As for where my anger has stemmed from, I thought for a while it was perhaps just lack of sleep, and although it doesn't help my mood at all I only clicked yesterday that that is not the reason for why I'm so stand-offish and aggro lately. The real reason is simply that I am in a foreign country, all by myself, and I am lonely.
And rather than being sad and feeling sorry for myself, I somehow turned it into anger directed at the people on the streets, my classmates, and myself. Hopefully I can now move past this and try and be positive again.
The sad truth is I'm pushing people away... because I'm lonely. it's hysterical if you think about it

ANYWAY! Leo and Raph have a slight difference of ideas
At first i was gonna go traditional white-eyed with this, but it looked silly so I chose against it. I'm not overly fond of Leo, I tried a different approach to the muzzle/snout which I hadn't tried before to make it more 3 dimensional but I'm not sure it was completely successful. I like How Raph looks, but Raph's easy to draw mad perhaps I should just cut Leo out the picture completely and just submit angry Raph?
SO, what are they arguing about? .... ..I dunno Maybe Raph pulled some impulsive move during a fight resulting in one of the other brothers getting hurt? (Heaven knows that would Piss Leo off to no end) Or maybe this takes place before SAINW when Master Splinter got killed and they had a falling out? Perhaps Raph hadn't been home in a few days and Leo freaked out on him when he came home? (probably not. a little OOC) Maybe Raph ordered the wrong Pizza.
DAMMIT! I said Red peppers! RED peppers!!!

sorry if this picture freaked any-one out
...I really love those plz accounts XDD night every-one~
Kept the image nice and big for ya.

Oh yeah! forgot to say; hope this makes up for the overly cuteness of the previous picture (now in my scraps) XDDDD;;

Please don't take, trace or repost my art anywhere. I work very hard on this things and deprive myself of sleep for them... honest XD; thank you!

i love your description and how this stems from a sour shitty mood.
I'm there far too often, yet i really try not to be.
the name and and illustration itself first attracted me to click on it, but Now that I've read your whole explanation I really wanna collect it even more because of it.

BEST OF LUCK WITH EVERYTHING IN YOUR NOW AND IMMINENT FUTURE.

Ah, Raph and Leo, will you two ever get along?

I like the detail you put in their facial expressions. The furrowed brows, wrinkled snouts, and bared teeth really stand out.

The body language is really nice too. Overall, you portrayed their anger and frustration at one another very well.

I like the tension and frustration you displayed in this picture, especially how they both seem equally irate while narrowly glaring at each other- and damn, they got some pretty sharp teeth for turtles and all this time, I thought Raph was the only one with shark-teeth

On a side note, everything in this picture looks splendid from the posing to the shading, and their expressions, though Leo's snout looks a wee bit long, perhaps its the perspective cause though Raph's snout is long too, it seems normal compared to Leo's, so it might just be me... Leo's shell looks too 'high' behind his neck, so you might wanna lower that a bit so it should be on the same height of his shoulders?

Nothing else, although the specks of saliva amuse me for some reason,

C-Puff In reply to AmeMusashi [2009-05-01 23:46:01 +0000 UTC]

XDD I can't help it. I like giving characters fangs when they're angry... I wish I knew where I picked that habit up from. they're like the Vampires in Vampire Hunter D. They only have long canines when it's convenient XDDDD

Perhaps it's not that I drew their snouts too long back I opened their mouths that wide? that could be the reason. I'm still trying to find my balance with their snouts. I like to give Leo a longer one than Raph and Donny and I like to make Mikey's just slightly more rounded to try and give them some individuality (because that's just the way I am) but I should really learn to walk before I run right? I think perhaps I should draw a picture to emulate the show's original style just to get the feel for it and find a better way to adapt them to my own style. It's not that I don't like the shows style (I love it! XD) but It's easier for me to just draw naturally.

As for Leo's shell yeah I think you're right. He's kinda got his back arched but even so I think the shell is indeed sitting a little too high. Ugh maybe I should just redraw Leo completely! XDD but then I never really return to pictures once they're coloured... even though I should.

ANYWAY! Sorry for rambling. I'm glad you like this, really I am :'D and I'm happy you like the spittle because, as I said to some-one else, I was scared it was too much and almost left it out~

I hope to draw this have help you with you bad mood, because he definitely help me with mine.

The emotion on this one is really deep and raw at the same time and I could easily see those two arguing like this about anything, even for red pepper. I Understand now why Don and Mikey always keep there distance when those two argue, they are pretty scary ( : Kitchen? : kitchen)

But I can stop laughing at the β€œKung Pow” reference; for some reason that scene always make me laugh. Nice one.

I'm glad you used the word "raw" since that's exactly what I was trying to bring across with this. It wasn't suppose to be pretty, but it had to look good
Anyway thank you very much!

Raph does look awesome in this. I particularly like the saliva string between his upper and lower jaw. It gives emphasis to the intensity of the situation. The way his shoulders are lifted, they appear tense, like he's barely holding himself back from laying a good one right on Leo's big, bossy mouth.

As for Leo, I love the way his snout looks. It stays traditional to your style, but does look 3D-ish. The angle of it is perfect. I seem to struggle with that a lot. However, his left arm is a little awkward. It almost looks dislocated or like it's not his arm at all. Overall, though his expression it wonderful. I love when Leo loses it and Raphael is the only one who can make him blow his top.

I think you captured the mood of their fights perfectly.

C-Puff In reply to remmysbane [2009-05-01 23:32:44 +0000 UTC]

Yeah I think I screwed up Leo's arm because I wasn't paying attention to his clavicle. That is to say the arm is not working with his skeleton and bending for a different angel than his body is actually at.
I'm glad you like Raph's spittle because for a while I was afraid it was a little too much XD;; I need to learn not to hold back so much when I'm going for an insane emotion like anger. I have a lot of problems drawing anger for this reason, I've only recently gotten better at it.
Anyway thanks so much

I have to disagree with the bit about the arm, it does look a little awkward but I've seen people do really awkward things with their body posture to try and emphasize their point when angry.

I lol'd. Thanks.

Anyway, I kinda like how you did the mouths in this since it seem to fit their wide mouth better.
The way they are posed the same but look different look awesome. That, and it kinda shows how much they are same but different too. The lighting and background really set up the mood. Also have anyone told about how awesome you do teeth? I like how it not so flat like a fully herbivore, but more like a omnivore.

Wonderful job!

XDD Glad I could entertain!

And thank you for the compliment on the teeth. It's something I only recently started to do because I saw Gabe who does Penny Arcade likes making his teeth unevern and I liked how it look so I kinda adapted it, albiet rather haphazardously XDD except on Raph. I always make a point (no pun intended) to sharpen his incisors when he's mad. I did the same for angry Leo here but just not as extreme.
Anyway thanks so much!
