Check out these Amazing portraits..
I was wandering through DeviantArt, and stumbled on this artist, David Rapoza. His Splinter, Casey Jones, Bebop and Rocksteady are fantastic...
Splinter Casey Jones Rocksteady Bebop *Edit* Shredder! This guy's artwork is really amazing in its realism.. check out his other stuff. http://davidrapozaart.deviantart.com/ |

Yeah, I've been looking at Rapozza's stuff recently! It's so great!
And while we are on the subject of TMNT character gallery profiles on Devart, here's a great gallery that also debuted recently: http://covens-oz.deviantart.com/gallery/29167137

Schweet. Bebop freaked my wife out though.

Amazing find! The realism in these is great. Splinter and Casey are the coolest. Did he ever do the Turtles?

David Rapoza's work is truly awesome! Thank you for sharing. Also, after checking out the artwork in the link that oldmanwinters posted, I would have loved if the new cartoon's TMNTcharacter designs' were similar to this:

Rapoza has now added a super-realistic April O'Neil (complete with freckles) to his gallery!

Also, over at his blog, there's a step by step Splinter & Shredder process. Pretty neat, especially seeing the Shredder in a different angle/style. http://daverapoza.blogspot.com/2011/...r-process.html True story: I stuck that Casey piece as my desktop background (cut it a bit so it was more 'widescreen'. It freaked my out every time I looked at it. So I changed it! Aaand on a pretty much unrelated subject (well, its Rapoza's girlfriend) I discovered through his blog 'Love & a Sandwich'. Monsters handstitched with varoius materials, mostly faux fur. These are adorable, I know what my niece and unborn niece/nephew will be getting for xmases/birthdays/whatever from now on. They're adorable! http://www.facebook.com/pages/Love-a...ch/46759310998 http://www.etsy.com/shop/loveandasan...fb_seller_shop

Oh wow!
That might be my favorite of the group, and I'm not even a Slash fan.

There are no words to describe how cool these portraits are. If I had half the talent he does, I would be a very happy person.
