Future Raph custom.

Lordmylar06 · 07-08-2009, 02:22 AM

Hey guys! I really tried hard to emulate Chris Allan's Archie style in this one, from the facial sculpt to even the type of hatching he uses for shading. I just wanted him to stand apart from his Mirage counterparts. Let me know what you guys think.

It looks really great. The head sculpt looks good. I like your detail on the shell too. It just looks really great. Good job. Keep making customs.

*Candy Kappa* · 07-08-2009, 04:36 AM

That's an awesome custom

A little *too* Raph · 07-08-2009, 06:47 AM

thats sweet man... any plans for a future don?

*Ninjinister* · 07-08-2009, 07:42 AM

Holy f....

That's amazing!

Bigfoot · 07-08-2009, 08:16 AM

That is super awesome...

I like the shading and the way you used the black hatch marks.

Did you custom make the hat, belt, and plastron? With what?

Oh yeah, and if this is Raph, why does he have katanas?

tmntgoldcoin · 07-08-2009, 08:52 AM

props to you. Love the hat.

NightwatchersOnlygirl · 07-08-2009, 09:19 AM

I like it cos it's Raphael

I think you captured the comic book look pretty well. The black lines are problematic in some places (too thick, and obviously "drawn" on)--but I think customizers in general have a tough time emulating NECA's comic book aesthetic in that respect. It also looks like there's one stray drop of red paint, underneath the bandana, in the back-view photo.

Thanks all!

A little *too* Raph-Right now big plans for future Mike and Don, just gotta win some loose ones on ebay to get started. Plus i figure jackey and coat sleeves are going to be tough on a NECA base.

Bigfoot-Hat, belt, plastron and shoulders:
I used this stuff called milliput, it works alot like apoxie, but i prefer it to apoxie, it just seems a bit more manageable. In the fist future turtles story arc Raph carries Leos swords. There's even this cool scene where he and current Raph are looking for Leo in the super far future (Armaggon snags him) and Current Raph fins current Leos swords and puts them in his belt. He and F. Raph look very similar and they speak in stereo about how they should hurry!

Patraw- Good call on the paint drip, fixing that, and as far as the hatching goes, I think I'm going to try finding a finer line brush, I just had a really clumsy tip so next trip to hobby lobby is going to be a mission.

If we're getting picky, there's also a spot of green on his right sheath.
