Quick sketchy art about my favorite Raphael of all times <3

More old sketches what I, most definitely, will never finish. I have some adult sketches too, but those I will post on my Inkbunny.

This turtle here is my most longest time love, comfort and support/supporter <3 Old future Raphael appeared first time (to me, personally) in TMNT Adventures comic issue #42, which was published in 1993. Back then I was 7yo and I remember starting to like/love him instantly when I saw him. And I bet I will love him to the day I die <3

Colored sketch because I was lazy ass, at least with the background. Old future Raphael in a hot spring looking at the night sky <3

(a dream. I like to write my dreams down here)

In last night’s dream I was in big subway station which was empty. It was night as well so only some lights were on. While it was subway station, it was very difficult place with many levels and rooms. For a some reason there was Archie comic turtles, at least Michelangelo and Raphael (young versions). Raph and I went in a room where was a table and it had 4 sunk water “squares”. Raphael took a plastic cup and water in it from one of them. He was going to drink it but Mikey jumped at the doorway behind the wall with evil smirk, screaming something like; “Hah! You fool! That water was poisoned (by him) and now you’re going to die!” But when he realized Raphael still held the mug and hadn’t drink any, he ran away. Raph tossed mug away and ran after him (going for beat or kill) while I stood there looking after them. I was thinking how lucky Raphael was since, even if he would had drink the water, he took it from the ONLY square which had not been poisoned. That’s the feeling I got.

I left and went after those two but I ended up on some red lighted factory area with lots of railings etc. I was going down some metal stairs when I saw Behemoth from Final Fantasy games going in one “tent” shaped room which had purple light in it. I knew he was good but I was avoiding him since I knew if he saw me, he would want to fight with me since it would had helped me to grow, become stronger - and I knew I wouldn’t be able to beat him ‘cause I didn’t had anything (no weapons, armors, items etc.) so I ran, ahah. I think he felt a bit sad that I avoided him tho. He wouldn’t had beat me bad / kill me, no!

Then I came in a bit more new looking subway station area and I stood near 3 stairs right next to pillar. I don’t know how or why I had gotten in this situation but I was holding old future Raphael by his neck, trying to prevent him from breathing. Not all that strongly (because I don’t have much strength in my fingers anyway) but enough for him to loose his hold on younger Mikey. I didn’t see Mikey, I didn’t see how OF Raph was holding him but still I knew he was keeping Mikey against the wall, arm pressed sideways on Mikey’s neck. OF Raph was looking past me and he looked so worried / concerned as he softly said; “Son. Boy.” He aimed his words to younger Leonardo who had snapped. I didn’t see him since I kept my eyes on OF Raph but I felt he was slightly behind me with younger Raphael. Apparently Leo had become so nuts he was honestly aiming to kill young Raph and was strangling him. Raph clearly was so close of passing out already.

I have no idea WHAT had happened between boys or WHY Mikey and Leo wanted Raph death but old future Raphael, clearly, had come to stop it. I don’t know where Don was but based on the fact there only was young Raph, Leo and Mikey and only OF Raph... I think in OF Raph’s past / world those 3 did kill each other, Don included. If they would had been alive I’m sure OF Raph would had had at least old Don with him. And if Leo and Mikey now would had killed young Raphael, it would had mean that OF Raph would die too.

Art idea / wish what I got from @mlvdoodles-blog :D

Old future Raphael and his younger version were watching horror movie and it made Junior jump once and so FR comforts him and makes his next move - mild seducing and receiving a kiss after a little begging :D

Not as good as I hoped it to turn out but it’s not all that bad either :’D

I think I made biggest mistake when I gave him that mouth...
