Description
Ooookay- so this time I also tried to color that thing and add some shades to it...gargh!!!!!!!!!! It's crappy!!! So once more, no stupid comments about my drawing style, anatomy, shading blahblah- I KNOW my mistakes!!! The only problem is that I don't know how to make it better. I even had to ask my lovely dA babe for help.Thanks so much, hun!!! I owe you something for your help- and DON'T tell me I don't need to give you something in return! You can't run away from your gifts forever!!!
I dedicate this picture to all the Raph/Mikey fans I know, like Hiso-Chan and Raaset, for their great RxM stories and pictures- and COMICS!!! Yes!!! So sorry once more that I couldn't make it better...I'll give my best to change that soon, I promise!

Thanks...but I still have to learn so much, like working with the layers decently, shading and all that.
The picture belongs to a story I have uploaded on another page...I'm not sure if you like that so called yaoi genre....
I think I should work on the eyes a bit better, giving them more "light", with little sparkles or something like that. I'll keep practising, I promise!

yaoi genre is a reaty nice style although I'm afraid to draw~If my chinese friends and classmates find I'm drawing TMNT yaoi they'll laugh at me~

Aaah, I thought the same about writing such stories...but now I'm really fine with it. Amazingly, there is a yaoi version to about every comic/cartoon/movie, so it's not that unusual.
I think TMNT yaoi is mostly something "nasty" because so many people think about them as being blood related brothers.
Btw, do you know Rcaptain? She's here on DA, and she had some quite amazing TMNT yaoi works in her gallery. And my favourite yaoi artist is Raaset, she is simply unbelievable. The way she combines slight erotic with humour makes me always smile bright!
Unfotunately Rcaptain removed her pictures, since she wanted to have a "clean" gallery. And there are quite some artists who run two accounts, to show "general" on the one, and "mature" on the other gallery. I already thought about it, too. But actually I find nothing bad about writing those stories. Noone is forced to read them, and I'm also friendly to those who don't like yaoi/nanshoku.

Oh IT'S REALLY A GREAT PITY that RC removed her yaoi gallery!!!I love her artworks so much but never see her TMNT yaoi,T_T~~~
Raaset 's TMNT yoai is such an amazing work,for not losing her artworks,I choose download to collect them~^^
My fav TMNT yaoi artist is Sneefee~I saw her photobucket page last weekend and felt love in her yaoi deeply~And I keep secret not to tell my friends,cuz' some of them don't like it so much.....
So I don't know how to discribe my feeling about yaoi works...T.T

Sneefee is a real big hit! I know her from LJ, a community with around 600 members. I love going there, just uploaded a new chapter for my latest story there.
I collected all the Rcaptain pics on my PC, haha! Fortunately, because I had kicked my own butt if they had gotten lost! Maybe she'll have mercy and really opens a new gallery with "dirty" stuff. Raaset has a second gallery, too. Amazingly she always tells how embarassed she is sometimes when she looks at her own works- she's so cute!

You think the backround's awesome? How that? I was simply too lazy to draw something as backround But anyway, thanks a lot for the nice comment!!!
I had a hard time drawing that

Well, it has different colors, and it's kind of.. mysterious.. Like, you cannot see clearly what there's in the background... hee, you're welcome!
I'm still fighting with my own pics...-__- I hope that I could have even SOME time to do those!

RaphsImzadhi In reply to LoveXXXLeonardo [2008-04-21 08:01:56 +0000 UTC]
Well, that was my purpose, that people cannot see what the backround is... Because I suck at detailed backrounds. This kind of "technique" I used for this pic, I always do if I don't have an idea for backround.
I know what you mean. Even after I have "officially finished" a picture, I always take it into my hands and start making some corrections, it takes days until I'm halfways pleased with the result.

Yup, yup... There's two of us then.. Hehe, actually I've tried to do some bg's, but I never have any cool idea, or I just don't know how to draw it....
It's really frustrating....
( Hey, my next colored picture is almost done, yay!

hurrah for a Raph/Mikey pic! Is it just me or do they and Leo/Don just not get enough love? Anyway, I really like the pic, especially the look Mikey's giving Raph hehe ^^

RaphsImzadhi In reply to DarkRaven18 [2008-04-15 20:18:41 +0000 UTC]
Yeah, mostly the people are Raph/Leo and Don/Mikey...hey, that wouldn't work!!! Okay, stupid statement, since I'm writing a RxL story at the moment...but anyway I think they would have a hard time as a couple. With Raph and Mikey it's simply, hmmm, natural? Yah, natural, they go together perfectly! And Leo/Don- I mean, fearless one and Mr FixIt, what better could they get? And I have to admit I have a slight weakness for Leo/Mikey as well... so yeah for extraordinary TMNT couplings!!!!
Oh, and a big, fat thank you for the nice comment and the favourite!!!

It's more the "what now" look, I thought- this will be part of the LJ story later, you'll see/read
I've seen many nice kissing pictures of the TMNT, maybe I try such one later- much later!!!

well, I suppose when you really look at it, it could also be a 'I know what your up to, and I like it' look.
thats one problem with all the fics, there isn't a whole lot of romantic pictures, of course, I've seen plenty of porno pictures(thank you sneefee), but there's like no actual romance... oh well

RaphsImzadhi In reply to kid-saiyen [2008-04-15 20:24:12 +0000 UTC]
Ooooh, there IS!!! Look into sneefee's own homepage!!! Of course you find the porn section there as well, but I uploaded me some lovely and even funny pictures of cuddling Raph/Don, teasing Don/Mikey, all that stuff.
But besides that you're right. Many porn stuff is going around. Oh, but have you checked Alisa's gallery here on DA already? Yesterday she uploaded a cuddly Don/Leo picture, my similar fave pairing to the Raph/Mikey.
Yeah, in some way you're right, Mikey could also think the "I know what you're up for...". That's maybe th eonly reason why I uploaded the pic, because I was kinda proud of the look they give each other. Raph is a bit like "I'm waiting for something to happen...!", and Mikey the "hmm, maybe or maybe not..."

Thank you so much...if only I had more experience with the shading...
This came into my mind while I started to write the new chapter for Taboo. I never knew HOW difficult it could be to color with Photoshop...I need more pratise with that, too
And yes, this is for all the Raph and Mikey fans around, there should be tons of fanart for this lovely, sweet couple, don't you think so, too?

Hiso-chan In reply to RaphsImzadhi [2008-04-15 09:59:12 +0000 UTC]
I agree! We should make a political movement for more Raph/Mikey art. XD
Oh and if you need some help with shading I'll tell you a technique that I use. I'll put up a small tutorial on my DA for shading and doing line art. I hope it'll help you out.

RaphsImzadhi In reply to Hiso-chan [2008-04-15 10:48:59 +0000 UTC]
Ooooh, would you??? That would be really cool!!! Because though I know how to use a backround layer, i haven't figured out how to do the same with shading and lineart...and so I'm always drawing over the lines and have to draw them over again- and that takes so long! That's one of the reasons why the lines in my Raph/Mikey pic look so thick.
Yay for more Raph and Mikey art!!!!! Subscribe the list and join, everybody!!!

Well, since I'm writing the Raph/Leo story here at the moment, I first thought about drawing them- but I simply couldn't resist, I had to draw RxM... but as soon as my drawing gets better, I'l surely make a RxL one. After all these two are hunting me in my dreams at the moment, making me sleepless over the next chapters for my story!!!
I'm happy to hear you like the pic, thanks!!!
