Pics of Raphael display finally. LOOK

[bullet]

well...that's how it looked in the movie. to be honest, i'm not a big fan of the earlier movie's look of the dudes but for what the artist tried to emulate, he did an awesome job.

I see, I personally liked the way they looked best in the 1st film but to each his own. I appreciate the compliment regardless.

haha ok well as long as some one does.
It's a very nice sculpt it's lacking detail though but the photos aren't that great. It could be the really bad paint job over all thats making me not like this. But the sculpt is decent. If I was grading it as makeup fx teacher I'd give it a B-

B- is a pretty good score. I wont score it myself until I see it in person.

When I get the piece I will take better and closer up pics and maybe the grade will change.

It very well could I honestly think you spent a bit to much but oh well such things can and will happen.
I think the really light green color is throwing me off allot on everything so some close up photos should really help.

Yeah I think its more of a medium green and with the light shining on it and from the flash of the camera it brings out alot of the yellow in it because he used multiple greens and yellow to make the skin. We will see

[dejawolf]

yes, a far too saturated light-green. the movie green has a lot more brown in it,
with a yellow tone around the mouth area.
sorta like-- hmm shameless self-agrandizing warning:

[Bmaga123]

Wow that animation is unreal. Looks alot like Mikey from part 1 and 2 movies combined. I am speechless and I agree on the skin tone. I asked the artist why he chose the brighter green but he hasnt answered that question yet.

[Shark_Blade]

I don't mind the brighter green color because it does add a great touch to Raph.The color itself is great and the fine sculpture is superb. Maybe if Raph is dark like Mikey pic above it won't look that good.

Thank you Mike, I am happy that alot of people appreciate the creativity and likeness that was put into this piece. I cant wait to get it tomorrow, I asked the artist about the paint and he saif that he didnt realize the huge difference and that he thought he nailed it perfectly. So I am thinking it looks a bit closer to the movie in person. Either way I am very happy about it.

It wasnt an online shop that did it. I belong to some forums called HMA which stands for Halloween Mask Association. I made a post stating I needed an FX artist to create this piece for me and the artist Emailed me and said he would love to do it. His name is Neal Kennemore and he has done work for the CSI Vegas show making some of the dead body's etc... He is very good as you can see. He doesnt have a website but if you want to contact him I will have to ask him first. Thanks for the compliment on the piece.

[Bmaga123]

Well Raphael should be to my place within the next 5 hours. I cant wait.

I am curious since your are thinking of having one made for you which turtle will you chose and from which movie?

[Mike Bock]

I got a question, will we be able to see his eyes?

I just got the head and it looks great but to answer your question, you cant really see the eyes since he is squinting so much but it still looks awesome. I actually just put it up for sale on ebay. My wife and I had something come up that is going to cost us alot of money so I am forced to sell it which really sucks. I hoope it goes to a harcore fan of the turtles. Here is a link to the sale

^ Oh noooooooo! But it's so beautiful. Sorry about whatever came up though. It would have to be pretty important.

[Buslady]

kinda waaaaayyyy over what I could afford otherwise I'd be seriously tempted
