Hi. I'm late to say so, but I like the way you gave that TMNT skin colored like a box turtle. The shell looks great as well. All around nice job. -Craig
I love the work you put into these guys. You are such a huge fan and I think it really comes out in your painting. I think you could probably do a very good bust yourself out of sculpty like you did with the Dark Crystal sage you did years ago.
Ive been lurky and been watching your work on this guy and man it turned out absolutely amazing in the end. Looking at your auction looks like is going well too, I really hope you get top dollar for this!
i have every statue that you have mentioned including the dark horse mintures (2 sets). I have a statue on the way that there was only 12 made!!! as soon as i get it i will post a video to show it off! the only one i DO NOT have is the farley bust. I wish I knew the reserve price so i can just bid it!! lol
Digging around the net and I found one of Leonardo standing which supposedly was a casted piece, full body, that someone bought and got broken...but don't know who made it so can't get much info. on it. There's a bunch of sculpts people have made before but nothing I found that was ever made into reproductions. I also have the set of 4 Dark Horse minis and been debating if I should paint them next. I see you on Ebay! If the bust doesn't sell this time around I'll list it differently.
@neodevilbane: I grew up with the colored bandannas of TMNT, and prefer the colors personally, but I can appreciate the original classic color, so whoever ends up with him will have the option of getting it repainted to red.
hey when i get my leonardo commission statue in would you be willing to paint it for me! just give me an estimate when i get the statue!. i will show you pics of it. thanks!
@LWalsh0: I'm interested...what kind of statue? The Dark Horse miniatures, this Farley bust, Sideshow, Neca, the Cold Cast ones, or something else? Did you hire a sculptor?! Now you have me eager to know!
@suburbanrythym: I wish! They only made a sculpt of Leo, so there are no others. From what I understand, there were problems with the sculpt of Leo and some other issues, so it all fell apart and the other turtles weren't made. Even the full 500 pieces that were supposed to be produced of Leo, didn't come into being, not even close. Bummer.
@WatergazerRed that's rather disapointing.. you should sculpt pieces of your werewolf/anthro work, I would definitely invest money into owning a 3d sculpt of a lot of your work !
@suburbanrythym: I've long wanted to do werewolf and dragon sculptures but I have a few issues creating them, and the major one being not knowing how to cast molds of 3D sculptures that are a foot tall or more despite researching it on-line. It IS something I'd like to look more into though.
@suburbanrythym: I've been debating taking on an apprenticeship, but that'll have to wait until my son is older. One problem with tattooing is that painters who also tattoo need to limit their tattooing because eventually the tat gun will ruin their hands for painting, especially minis (so I am told), due to the vibrations. But new guns have recently come out that drastically limit the vibration now so I'm interested again.
@Liv4EvrythgDie4Nothg: Maybe eventually somebody will get the rights to make busts of the 4 turtles. It would be even more awesome if AC Farley could after what he did with Leo. But like all things, red tape gets in the way of awesomeness.
HOLY S*(#...... PERFECT and thank you for showing us your skills and piece from WIP1 to now. it was very fun watching this thing transform. where is the link? lol
@LWalsh0: Thank YOU for watching and oogling. I just posted the link to Ebay. It took a while due to light issues for photo taking. I always try to get the most-true images for Ebay and my house is so dark it's nuts. This is probably the best video capture of a piece I've ever done though, and with natural light.
@Ronin246: You must have been standing by waiting for this post you commented so fast! Lol, I don't even have the audio track loaded yet. Thanks for your support!
Yeh that's sweet!
