TMNT Redesign Project: Raphael
Each year for our Patreon during July, our supporters pick a property and Adam does a complete ground-up redesign. In 2020, the winner was the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles - one of Adam's favorite things, and something he'd wanted to take a swing at redesigning for a long time. This is the result. Enjoy!

Raph is the heavy hitter, so he's a big square. Used more modern urban military design ideas, like he got his gear from an Army Surplus. His shell is a little spikey - not as much as Slash, but enough to give him a visual edge.
Snapping turtles evolved very small plastrons so they can move and fight better. Raph's not a snapper, but we made his plastron extra small to suggest he's the most biologically adapted to combat.
Costuming explorations. Lots of ideas here that would come back for Don and Mikey.
While Leo gets the classic TMNT mask, the others would all get unique styles. Loved every Raph idea, but only one could win, sadly.
