PICS!!! from tonights photoshoot BAD@SS

[jacobzking]

Hey! Derick and I are the guys that put this costume together last year for Halloween. Since then, he's completed the other 3 suits. So we're going to do an awesome, professional photoshoot (thats what I do for a living) in downtown Dallas from around 4-6pm next Tues, Nov 5th. I need 3 guys to volunteer for the photoshoot. You'll need to be between 5'10"-6'0" and around 180-220lbs. Basically pretty average build. Please let me know if you're interested. It will be a lot of fun, and I guaranty plenty of attention, lol.

***date changed due to rain forecast. Shoot will be in deep Ellum from 4-6 this Thursday the 7th***


here's the pics...

I would, but i live in the Uk, so...

........I decided to make this pointless post instead. :lol:

Which in turn is promoting me to make this pointless post...dammit.

[BigMike322]

I'm too tall. But lemme know if you need a bigger character in the future. Like Leatherhead.

[jacobzking]

Shoot moved back to Thursday due to rain. Is there really not a single Dromer in Dallas that wants to be a part of this?

[BubblyShell22]

Those are some awesome pics and look so real. Good job on these, Jake.

[Blossombrooks]

Touche :P

[jacobzking]

thanks guys! a LOT of work went not only in to the suits, but the "actors" put in some hard time too. i wore my mikey suit for halloween last year and it weighs about 65 lbs total (45lbs of silicone skin and about 20lbs for the shell). the guy dressed up as Don almost died within about 10 minutes from the time we started. but he struggled through.

[The Fifth Turtle]

Touche :P

Glad to see someone on the drome can still take a joke :)

[zkarlette]

Wow! These suits are incredible! Great job!

[Powder]

Everything looks so sick, bro. You should get these guys together again and make a short film. Like a 2 minute feature of them running around the city, lurking in alley ways, etc. With the right overlays and stuff, it could be really really rad.

[Shark_Blade]

Goodness this is one of the best self-made turtle costumes ever. Well done!

[Leo656]

Those are definitely pretty spiffy. Can't imagine how it was to make 'em.

[Gwydion]

Awesome, guys! Major props to the whole group, makers, models, and photographers - these photos came out great! I'm glad you were able to get enough people together for the shoot.

[RiseAbove873]

Awesome costumes! Great job!

[MsMarvelDuckie]

Awesome! Too bad I didn't know about this sooner- and that I'm, y'know, too short. I'd have loved to see or even help out with that shoot. To quote that guy in SotO: "Would you look at those costumes?! I LOVE this place!" And Dallas is right in my neck of the woods, too.... :tcry::tsad::tgrumble:

[Dawnatello Turtle Chick]

Whoa this is epic! If I had known about this sooner I would have volunteered my husband as I am too short and too busty... lol. Great job guys!

[jacobzking]

we got a write up in the dallas observer. they gave me more credit than i deserved (it was mostly dericks project), but here it is:

[shreddinghead]

Wow! Really good job on the turtle costumes and posing. Good luck.

[Teddy]

Omg, those suits are amazing!!! Wow!!

[Guitar_Raph]

Wish I would've seen that. Cool pics!

Next time you have a photo session, I'd like to see Mikey playing instruments.

[Raph]

Really proffesional looking, great job! Would be cool to have such a suit!

[DonatelloNinja82]

Wow those look amazing!! :D

[Lord Nightwalker]

Looks like it was a nice success! Congratulations!

[The Fifth Turtle]

I love how these guys had no previous background in costume making and did it for just for the hell of it. Impressive.

[Michelangelo]

Awesome, just awesome dude!
Is there a chance of a fan made movie???
