Re: 2012 TMNT Replica Costume Sculpt (Upper Body Complete)
It's looking good but I think you should have a look at how the biceps and connects between the shoulder and the pecks! Atm it looks wierd!
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!
Dude, honestly this is one of my favorite threads here. Your work is Awesome, a big contender to the tom spinner designs version. Keep it up bro.
Well thanks! It will never be Spina's because its a restoration of an original.
What you casting it out of?
DragonSkin a platinum-silicone by smooth-on. I will probably back it later with foam to give it structural integrity.
mate the turtle is wicked ive tried some clay and just cant get on with it its a real art keep it up turtles rule
It is an art for sure. Other members have clearly shown what is possible with it! Thanks
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.
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!
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...
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!
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.
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
