The 'masks' made for the films used a different material, foam latex, and because they were designed to go over a mechanism to make the mouth open and close it was best to sculpt them in a half open position. Foam rubber is a lot more porous and flexible so is preferable for movie effects skins but is delicate and degrades quickly so would not be a good choice for a mask that you want to keep for a while.
The reason to add the eyes in now is to get the sizing right, it also adds a lot to be able to see how it will look as you refine the sculpt. if the eyes are smeared with vaseline prior to the molding process they should survive intact.
I am interested to watch this progress.

Oh okay, that clears a lot of stuff up. Thanks! So if this ever goes into small scale production, I too would really be interested in buying this. It look very nice.

Very cool. Looks so much like the first movie heads!

[Ville Leskinen]

Did anything ever come out of this?

[eledoremassis02]

sadly I have not done much with it because I cannot find a good reptileish texture and school is about to end so its study, study, study!!

[Loco]

Wow ! Awesome ! Really
that's a pure hobbie to create with your hands

That sucks man but I know first hand school is killing me too. Hopefully you can finish this up someday because it has serious potential.

Been a long time since I did something with this, but will the other heads being made I got inspired. Trying texture tests.

(older test)

Newer test:

I know you posted these to show off the textures, but the eyes look amazing!

Won't they get all messy and stuff when your casting (molding, what's the right term here?) the sculpture?

The sculpture itself looks awesome, very screen-accurate. Keep up the good (cool) work!

That first picture appears to be the original sculpts of the Turtles from the 3rd movie. Where did you get those pics, Although I wasnt a fan of how they looked in the 3rd movie I would love to see closeups of those pics please.

texture test 2. What do you think?

[Powder]

Lookin' really good!

[Eiko]

Wow looks really good.

[Venom]

OH my GOD he's adorable!!! Has the same charming look as in the first movie!!

[Luzmagica]

I like the test texture 2 (the last one you had posted)...its my prefer...it seems to me like soft and slightly rough/bumpy...

I think "newer text" in other post is to much eye-catching (sorry im using the traslator,...maybe not the most right word! for expressing ...Hope you get the idea Im trying to say!))

And of course Great cool awesome work!!!!!

[raphfan84]

Can't wait to see finished pics of this. It's looking really good! Keep up the good work man.

[eledoremassis02]

[Donnie]

This looks great!

[PizzaPower]

[azrael]
