Michaelangelo Mask Sclupt *Sculpt finished!* 2/6/2012
 

I originally started with Raphael on a foam head.he got too heavy and fell 13ft...so I just got a new 1/2 mannagquin, and am working on Michelangelo *use less clay* and he seemed like he would be fun to make. I want to make all 4 over time..but they will all share the same body lol.

Here are eyes I am getting they are 22mm

Looks pretty good so far--there's a bit of asymmetry in the head sculpt though. Try looking at your sculpture in a mirror, that helps you see those types of things.

Thanks for the advice!

Did another day of sculpting!

I also tried fooling around with texture, I got a good idea of how I am going to do it.

wow, thats incrediably cool. It's kind of creepy how realistic that Mikey looks, but in a good way. How are you going to work the plastron and shell?

Thanks!

I have been thinking about this, and I am talking to some one who made a suit themselves.

I am also looking at this for some ideas

It's funny, I just realized each turtle has a specific body type to the proportion to their heads.

hahha this is going to be a long ride!

Cool stuff, dude. Looks like you're having fun with this.

Just lettin' ya know I saw what looked like your work on the SHH! Boards as well.

Anyone know the official name of this suit and woh has it? Considering the 25th is next year, they should SO wear it to the New York Comic Con, especially for some photo ops in whatever subway tunnel Raphael saved April in during the first movie :)

The guy from Xtreame FX made it, he also made other masks for it as well.

Thats a cool idea! Hopefully I'll have at least 1 turtle done by then.

Did some more work, mostly on trying to get the eye in, the eye itself will be replaced with taxidermy custom eye.

I think I have to move the eye over some tho..

Eh a long time. Probably a few months

But as soon as I make a mold of the mask, I'll sell some.

Fixed the eye, I think it looks better now..it's been too hot today so the clay got soft, so I stopped working on the second eye.

i think your sculpting is great! keep up the good work man!

I love the Donnie head because I've always liked it on TMNT 1, it has to be my favorite Turtle Head on the movie costume ever.

I was actually just going to ask you if you were considering selling some :D, any idea what you would be going for?

Found pics of my first Ninja Turtle sculpt: Raphael....This was from the first 7-8 hours. I had more done before it fell, but I figure you might like to see.

Oh, as soon as I figure out how much materials cost, and man hour lol.
As of now tho, I am probly going to make them out of foam latex, like the movie ones.

I can't use urethane cause the pain wont stick.

I ma thinking of what material to use, Foam latex seems a little too hard to work with, for now...I was suggested this:

I've been thinking about the body now, and How I could do it. If I am selling them, then I would need one that could fit more people, so I am thinking of doing it like the Batman costumes.
