Well the head was beased off a scene in the film that I am sure wasnt the stunt hero head but I saw this pic and thought it looked allot like it. Try to find the scene of this expression if you can please, thank you.

This is quality work to be highly admired - but it doesn't much resemble movie 1 Raph in my opinion. I feel like you're taking that the wrong way, people are just offering up opinions. It doesn't take away from the piece, it's a wonderfully crafted bust.

Your right and I appreciate opinions wether I agree with them or not I just sometimes dont understand them so try to get more out of it but like you said regardless of the likeness, its a very nice piece. While not a perfect likeness I still see a strong likeness in many areas but I guess that is just my opinion. Thanks for posting that actually makes allot of sense what you said

You found it, good work and thanks for posting. Looks like he nailed the teeth almost perfectly.

I'm still kinda up in the air about the whole thing.

Well the lighting is dark in the movie so hard to compare paint tones especially not seeing in real life and the photo you have up against it isnt where his eyes are closed more and looking angry. I think I will take pics of the bust from all angles when I get it to help compare a likeness. I still think the Bust looks incredible

By the way the Artist is sculpting Leonardo next, cant wait to see how he turns out.

I think the sculpt is very good as a piece in itself. The biggest difference between the first movie head that I can see is probably the length from the top of the nose/beak to the mouth. The nose on your bust looks noticeably shorter than the movie Raph. Still... it's much better than the 3rd live-action movie heads TMNT heads!

Grats mate looks good i would love to own somthing like that hey its Ninja Turtles and he looks ok to me. Cant wait till you show us the Leo head.

I just realized I have seen these heads except #3 in person at all angles so I have a different advantage at judging these. I guarentee if you saw the first head in person from the profile and other angles you would think it looked anything like the movie. The second head looked pretty good from the side but front wasnt a good likeness. Head #3 from all the pics I have seen looks pretty close from the front, rear, quarter angles but sides are a little off do to the expression of the mouth with teeth as we have been talking about.
