Ross Campbell style TMNT v2

ok, so before anyone gets their panties in a bunch yelling at me that it's not like my first RC custom, these are a SIMPLIFIED version. i did not do a complete overhaul like i usually do. but hey at least you get all four brothers this time and they still look pretty good

ever since i first saw the designes for the new TMNT toon (especially the toys) i had a gut feeling that the designer was heavily influenced by Ross Campbell's art. Ross has been drawing his turtles in a similar maner since at least 2007 when he did the incredible covers for "Raphael: Bad Moon Rising" for Mirage. withouth doing a complete overhaul (like i did with my last Campbell custom), i wanted to mod a few things to highlight the likeness. i based the colors and style off Ross' most recent works in which he has been doing a lot of colored masks and pupils. although, one of the most obvious changes i made was to change Leo's expression. Ross pointed out that it was a kind of awkward grimmace. part smile, part sneer. it didnt really fit leo, so i changed it to a more in control/serious look. this is only my second ever group customization of the turtles. my first and most likely only of a particular artist's rendition group shot. hope you guys enjoy

PS- for those who are curious here's a complete list of mods that i did.

resculpt leo's mouth, shave down and resculpts all the wraps, remove finger wraps, filled in raph's platron crack, add chains to mikey's chucks, smooth out some of the blockiness of leo's blades, remove the loop from donnies shoulder strap, add tails, resculpt two toed feet, enlarge the masks, nick up the belts and masks, paint everything from head to toe and add pupils to their eyes.

Stay down, punk!
