This is what I was referencing.
I agree it is ackward, but do you still think so compared to the image above from Tom Spina?

At a quick glance, to me it looks like the deltoid needs to come further out from the collar bone( looking at it head on), and should be a little wider. When your wearing this the deltoid will be sitting on top of your shoulder. I feel if you adjusted it the arms would look more natural.

Re: 2012 TMNT Replica Costume Sculpt (Upper Body Complete)
looking good. are you planning on making extras to sell? how big are you? i watch custompropsculptor... for a while. his looked great but he sorta burned a lot of people it seems like. another dude is working one one that looks promising... but I'm 6'2" 220lbs and worry I won't ever fit in to any suit that anyone makes.
i'd try and make my own like you're doing but would have NO idea where to start.
maybe one day I'll do my own like you are... start with hands and see how that comes out. any pointers on where to start? how to make hand mold... what to use, etc...

Re: 2012 TMNT Replica Costume Sculpt (Upper Body Complete)
I agree with eightbitinfinit the top muscles seem a bit smaller and further down than in theimage you're referencing.
Scott Eastman posts on DeviantArt and with the movie being put together with the Turtles as aliens I really like seeing the traditional turtle costume being put together.
Love the work you're doing.

Re: 2012 TMNT Replica Costume Sculpt (Upper Body Complete)
I looked at your suggestion and compared it to the other reference photos and have tweaked the deltoid. Thanks, for taking the time to draw that up. Take a look at the changes!
Well thanks! It will never be Spina's because its a restoration of an original.
DragonSkin a platinum-silicone by smooth-on. I will probably back it later with foam to give it structural integrity.
It is an art for sure. Other members have clearly shown what is possible with it! Thanks
Well I tried to use your detailed description the best I could. Take a look, I tried to take your suggestions straight to the sculpt. Thank you!
Hey Jacob! Not sure yet on selling, but it would be nice to offer a limited run later. I'm 6ft 190lbs. I have made the costume capable of fitting a little big but I also feel that it could be trimmed for smaller. I posted on your thread to try and give you some starters for your own. If you need any help, I'll sure try!
Ya, I agreed as well. See if it looks better with the changes!
THEY ARE NOT ALIENS. Hahaaa!
So with the above suggestions, here is the changed deltoids. Also extended the neck and extended the body.
I also wrapped up the upper legs. Please look'em over!
So after I get the thumbs up from those helping this build out with their comments and suggestions I will move forward with molding all these sculpts. (Note: forearm/hands are already molded)
My wife is also starting to sculpt! Check out her bird, Hahaa
Well let me know what you think, so I can get to molding this mess! Later RPF'ers

It's looking great, the muscle definition is awesome and it looks like the original costume!
However, if you are going to do more work on it before molding, I would prolly push the shoulder/biceps connection even further up. Something like this:

Thank you! Its been a pretty penny, but has been an enjoyable hobby.
Thank you! Its the excitement of a finished piece that keeps me going!
Thanks for your help! I truly appreciate it
Your photoshop skills are impressive! I wish your changes would just happen to the sculpt without me lifting a finger! Once again I will most likely take your advise and apply it to the sculpt. Thank you very much!
Took a break from sculpting, and started the mold for the ......... HEAD!
Below is the photos of the first coat (print coat to pick up the details), few coats later, and some pictures of my new keys (wife found this packaging in a shipment she received. It works great!)
Question for the molders out there.
Are these keys large enough to work properly?
Well progress will be slow this weekend. Taking a weekend get away with the wife. SHE DESERVES IT!

Yes those will work! and you have enough of them. I"m assuming your making a 2 part jacket?

Re: 2012 TMNT Replica Costume Sculpt (EVERYTHING but the shell)
Sweet! Ya 2 part jacket with the split dividing the front and back. A cut seam will be running down the backside of the head to the top of the head. This way if there is a seam it will be covered mostly by the bandana.
Flipped the piece over to coat the underside and add some keys!
Won't be long and I will have a pull YEAH!
