The question I have is, would you be willing to take on a commission? I would seriously consider buying one from you to display with my Lawson commission.

*Roseangelo* · 01-24-2012, 02:26 PM

This is really amazing work! Great job!

And this is also the exact kind of action figure I was longing to see while Playmates kept pumping out Music Turtles.

*plastroncafe* · 01-24-2012, 02:53 PM

Wow!
Saw pictures of your work up on Lawson's facebook page and figured if anyone would know who the artist was...The 'Drome would.

Un-freakin-believable work.

I was thinking the same thing. I've never commissioned anything before but this is something i would love to have and would seriously consider.

If by chance you WOULD accept commission(s), shoot me a pm about a 4 set

*TheCanadiandrome* · 01-24-2012, 08:32 PM

I'd like to echo these sentiments. I'm curious if you'd do it. Though I'm saving for some stuff right now I'd love to get one down the line.

Great Googly-Moogly!

The resemblance is uncanny!

How long ago did you start this project?

*mysterycolor* · 01-24-2012, 09:52 PM

i'm floored by the detail and accuracy! that custom work is absolutely amazing- very very well done

hope to see more from you!

AcidBurn30 · 01-24-2012, 11:38 PM

that's really good

i want to add this to my collection

*Slap-Happy* · 01-24-2012, 11:48 PM

Goodness gracious! This is amazing!

*Spitfire* · 01-25-2012, 02:29 AM

Very cool. I'd have bought one of these if they were ever made. Even better then the comic turtles Playmates had planned.

Demon-Alukard · 01-25-2012, 02:57 AM

This is SOOOO frikking awesome! I'm a huge fan of Jim Lawson, and this custom looks just amazing!!!

If you are going to make the comissions, put me in your list~!

Marksenad · 01-25-2012, 03:49 AM

That is Amazing! Crafted extremely well.

*Donnie* · 01-25-2012, 10:12 AM

Truly AMAZING work dude! Put me on the commissions list if you wind up taking some on. Wow! Such awesome accuracy. I saw this on Lawson's FB and figured it would blow up on the Drome! Again, excellent job.

i started it the day i saw my commission posted on Jim's FaceBook. it was so awesome that it planted the seed of inspiration! if i tally up the actual man hours...i'd say about 10-11 hours NOT including drying times for the apoxy clay. i am only able to squeez in a half hour/hour every couple days or so over the past few weeks. though, this project really drew me in so there was a day or two where i was able to squeez in an extra hour of customizing time.

OMG, I never imagined the level of response I’ve gotten on this! I have 9 people interested in commissions! Its very flattering. Unfortunately I will not be taking any commissions for these. With a family and a busy job, I just don’t have the time. Not to mention that I have a few other styles I want to try my hand at. If I ever make any more Lawson styled turtles, I’ll let you guys know

Mikey is currently on his way to Jim. I presented it to him as a gift and he accepted. I figured what better person to have it than the man who inspired it

Thank you all for your very kind comments. i truly appreciate them. hopefully i can repay those comments in the near future with another cool custom

I'm really curious to know whether or not the Raphael used as the base was bought from me on ebay recently. This project doesn't seem like it would take all that long to do provided the person already had the materials, not to mention the practice and talent (which to me is a given).
