(Another A.C. Farley style custom) Leonardo

This was inspired by Plasticplayhouse's Lawson style custom which can be found in this thread:
http://forums.thetechnodrome.com/showthread.php?t=36269
It shares some similarities to his Farley style custom as well:

which actually served as a creative boost for me to finish mine.










I didn't notice it before the photos but I have a real problem with paint rub around the joint areas. I'll fix that and post more images soon!

hey LM, it turned out nice! i love the leather work and stockiness of his body. the comic shading on the shell looks good too. it fits in-line nicely with the neca style turtles. the one clear thing i see missing (and i dont know if you did it intentionally) is the large farley style pupil in the eye. cant wait to see more of your stuff.

I really like how you did the head. Looks a lot like that one cover from CAW (the extreme close-up).

Thanks for all the feedback you guys!

@ Plasticplayhouse- The pupils were a tough decision. I may actually go back later and include them for the sake of accuracy.

@ Powder- That City at War cover closeup was actually my main reference for the face and head sculpt!

@ Maser Splinter- I've got a few cooking up right now, but it may take some time. I'm needing to finish a lot of art before I get back to customizing.

it is funny that this is the most recent comment- because i was about to put that i absolutely love the body (and the head too of course) but of course as Dragnskull said, it is all personal preference- mine being that your Farley style work rocks!
