Kitten's First Time Ever Next Mutation Custom Repaints

[KittenBunny]

Hello all,

After much hesitation and deliberation I decided to load my three very humble custom repaints only ever done.

These were done when I came out of hospital, and was very ill and had no idea that customising and repainting really existed and was so popular as a hobby in the TMNT world. I had no idea what I was doing having no knowledge on repainting of figures or anything. Now I need to post the three in two sets due to the post not letting me attach over 4 photos. First is Shadow Ninja Raph in his 'Night Ninja Suit'

Materials used:
I found some old acrylic paints and a mini synthetic fiber paint brush set lying around that I had in storage for a long time, and were bought from a news agency when I needed them for a project at school a long time ago! So they are very rudimentary materials!

Back story and inspiration:
I was given basic painting tools by the youth workers while I was in hospital and painted a painting. Being an 'ex' artist I had not piked up a brush or pencil to draw or paint something original for about 12 years, so this was a weird experience. When I got home from hospital while looking through my loose NM doubles I thought lets repaint them, having had the new experience of painting at hospital reignite my artistic creativity and desire to do painting/creative works again, and since I knew I had the basic materials lying around!

I am aware the paintwork is very sloppy - since I had shaking hands as a side effect of my illness and couldnt move my neck to look down properly... it was hard to 'stay in the lines'. Out of the whole three Raph is the best as he was done when I felt much better and wasnt so sick so he came out pretty good. So please dont be TOO harsh! It was my first time, had rudimentary materials, no idea what i was doing, just was passing time!! and gee did i suffer a lot afterward with the strain of doing it making me feel very sick... :*( this is why I dont do more work to be honest... as it results in vomiting... literally.. until i am fixed, if I am ever fixed - if the dr's can do it - I dont think I will be able to do much more despite my massive desire to..

Character in Question:
My original Raph design I called 'Shadow Ninja' Raph, I invisioned Raph as wearing a special suit called a 'Night Ninja Suit' over his plastron and Shell and arms and legs as apart of his new 'uniform', for night time Ninja action... I named him before i found out they had designed and planned a line of unreleased figures for NM that were called 'Shadow Ninja' lol I must have been channeling NM Raph With the design I just chose the colour scheme on what I thought looked good as a new uniform rather than camoflage functionality for night-time hahah...
