Thanks guys. I got a couple hours in the other night; I'll do another session and take some pics this weekend, hopefully. The eyes are going to look exactly as they do now. The eyes are being sculpted over the same lenses that will be in place on the mask. No glowing white eyes or human (white with pupils) eyes for this guy!

Those Dave Rapoza illustrations are pretty nice! He's done Leo as well, along with that Robot turtle, Baxter Stockman, Shredder, Splinter, Bebop, and this fantastic April:

I'm doing an interpretation of the body, shell, and weapons as well - though not through this technique, at least on the first pass. I have the shell mostly carved from foam already!
I've done a session since the last pic. I'll try to take a shot the next time I see it. Thanks for the encouragement. You guys definitely get more excited about the progress than my wife does. :lol

LOL!! my wife is the same way. She gets lost in the conversation every time I try to explain something, but at least she loves that I have a hobby

I don't know what I was thinking when I started testing textures (the last update you guys saw). I get so excited about the fun part - the face - that I completely neglect the rest of my sculpt! Yeah, it was "blocked in," but working on something like this, it's really best to bring each part of the sculpt to the same state of finish in passes. That way, you're sure each part continues to work with each other part in balance as you go. I did NOT have the back of the head and the neck sculpted to the same degree of completion as the face - not even close! The last couple times I worked (short sessions) I buckled down and began to refine the neck (adding folds) and the back of the head (on which I'm beginning to rough in a scalloped track to the base and down the neck). I allowed myself to indulge in carving a few rough details and scaling to the face here and there, but you won't see a lot of progress in that area. Still a long way to go, but here's where he sits tonight!
Thanks for looking,

Still looking great, keep it up. This is going to be so awesome when done.

Thanks Spartan & D2!
I'll try to get a picture of the shell up soon. The "weapon" in this instance is a cheap import katana which I'm going to weather very heavily.

I'm so tempted to show this to my dad since he was the one who bought me that issue of the turtles' comic book. Probably because he liked the way it looked as well. However, I'm gonna try and wait it out until you're done.
