Psycho Andy's custom TMNT

I've been lurking on here for a while, and have finally decided to share some of my work.

(Description taken from my deviantART page: http://psychoandy.deviantart.com)

I dig the old Playmates TMNT toys a lot, especially in their sculpting. But some of the paint jobs seem like total mis-cues, in a lot of cases. So I've taken it upon myself to repaint the toys in a way that they look and feel pretty awesome.

This is my repaint of Slash, the evil turtle from Dimenson X! Originally Bebop's pet turtle that he kept hidden from The Shredder, Bebop and Rocksteady doused little Slash with a dose of experimental Super Mutagen, creating a completely insane and powerful mutant turtle.

I decided to make Slash less blue (lower left) and make his colors look more like those of an actual turtle. I also decided to paint his wooden shoulderpads so that they actually looked like wood. My old Slash toy had his claws broken off, but they were that same purple as the shoulderpads. Since the hero turtles all have brown knee and elbow pads, I continued that with Slash, and made the spikes look metallic.

100% acrylic paint on a Playmates TMNT Slash from 1990.

Hope you guys enjoy.
