TMNT 2012 Leonardo and Raphael plus New photo
 

Out of all the turtles I find the relationship between Raph and Leo the most interesting. Unlike the 1987 cartoon where the seem to get along, most movies,comics, and the 2K3 cartoon show them not really the best of friends like Mikey and Donny. The anger between them is so strong that in the 2007 movie they settle it by fighting each other because they both think they have the right to lead the team. In the 2012 series that hardly changes, which according to the producers they will be not getting along some times. In most shows we see Leo as a confident leader, while in the new show we will be seeing Leo as he grows into the role. Raph will still be a hothead like he was in 2k3, but will also have some of his sarcasm from the old show. So what do you guys think? Do you think the producers will make an episode where we get a Leo vs Raph? Oh, and before I forget, here's the new photo I promised all of you. Just copy and paste in your URL and it should take you to where the image is. http://www.facebook.com/NickTMNT#!/photo.php?fbid=201801356559122&set=o.2074562092684 96&type=3&theater[/IMG]:tsmile:

Wow, nice share. Are you working on the series? Where did this image come from? Reason I ask is, this is your first post and I don't remember you talking about having exclusive pics before. Regardless this is very cool!

I can't tell if that's official or just really good fanart mimicking the style.

This has been confirmed as fan art. Someone on Deviantart has really captured the style though.

Yeah I was 'boutta say, it's quite accurate but not official. If it was, we would've gotten it directly already.
I have to assume this is either the artist or a dim bulb. Anyway, throw it in the fan works section.

Hey guys, sorry about saying this was real. When I found it on facebook the person who uploaded it said that it was from the show and it look pretty real. Sorry for the confusion!

It's sneefee, the infamous Turtlecest artist. The sequel to that piece would probably be Raphael piercing Leo with his "sai."

Yes, that sai.

As Andrew said, it's the artist Sneefee

http://sneefee.deviantart.com/

She's a very talented artist, thought some might not enjoy some of the content...

That's to bad:tsad:She did a good enough job to fool even the hardcore fans of TMNT, like me.

Knowing Sneefee did it takes away any value the image once had. & where are you coming from with this Raph & Leo shtick? You work for Nick?
They've certainly said nothing publicly about how their relationship would be...

Sadly, i don't work for the show, but i read an interview from the creators and they talked about the personalities about each turtle, and mention that raph will still be the rebel he has always been and leo will still be a strict leader, but he will make a couple of jokes:tcool:

When I read this I almost choked on my beer. Wow.:tlol:

Knowing that Sneefee did this doesn't make it any less bad ass. Other artwork or styles or whatever shouldn't take away from the fact that this is still pretty cool. You could do nine lame pictures and that tenth one is insanely awesome. I may not be a fan of the cest stuff but I am a fan of this.

Actually Powder is right. It's all about artist intention and motivations, both of he or herself and the motivations of the character they're drawing... the intent of the piece.

In this case, knowing it's sneefee and how the Turtles are all horny for one another in each and every piece of hers as an ongoing trope, the piece in mind immediately becomes "Oh, Leonardo and Raphael are warming up to have sex."

Totally agree with you, Splinter.

When you wrap the picture up with all of that context sure it's pretty sickening.

Perhaps another way to put all these statements... I know that if I had that kind of talent, I'd be trying to position myself into a paid gig to draw the TMNT (or anything else) officially, be it for Nickelodeon or IDW or whoever. But I wouldn't be doing so by drawing Turtlecest. So, maybe this person is just happy to be drawing fan art.

Although it's not official, that is a very good picture. I've heard of Sneefee, and many people like her work. I'm not into turtlecest myself, but everyone has their own preferences, and we shouldn't judge them for it.

Turtlecest... One of the worst parts of this fan base.

Knowing it's her gives this pic some unpleasant context.

I dunno... anyone of sound mind living in 2011 knows it's not cool to judge people for their religion, or that they're homosexuals, or judge people that are into special kinds of kink or things of that nature... but isn't it a bit different and kind of OK to go ahead and pass judgment on people advocating incest?

I feel like "yes."
