Sculpting Leonardo

Here's my process of sculpting Leonardo of the teenage mutant ninja turtles. As usual, I like to take inspiration from my favourite renditions of these characters while adding a little of my own style. I basically was looking at some classic turtles like the original toy line, the first 90s movie etc. I'm using Super Sculpey on an aluminum armature. I hope you enjoy it. Thanks for watching, and don't forget to like, comment and subscribe.

Thanks Drunk Monkey

Very nice

Thanks

Could you also make a bulky raphael, with a red durag mask and a spiky shell (snapping turtle shell), would be awesome!

[@downtownsculpts7529]

I'm definately interested in doing different versions or styles of the turtles. I think to start though, I'll stick with the style I did for Leo, then try alternate versions. Let me know what you think. Thanks.

[@shelbytucker6325]

i love it so awesome

[@downtownsculpts7529]

Thanks Shelby.

[@mauriciociroconzalesrios4259]

Me encantó la tonalidad clásica de las primeras tortugas y creo que los tobillos se verían mejor más delgados

[@josemanuel2724]

És um grande artista parabéns pelo seu trabalho

[@downtownsculpts7529]

thank you very much.

[@MaisAnimado]

Que versão é essa exatamente? Antes de 2012 com certeza. Eu pretendo fazer o Donatelo dessa dimensão, digo, versão.

[@jamessmithsr.5737]

Will there be more tmnt to come?

[@downtownsculpts7529]

If the interest is there from the viewers, yes. I'm a fan of all this stuff and these characters.

[@jovanymartinez6585]

Hehe I'm serious lol if u are interested let me know

[@jadeduh4555]

Ide prefer his katanas instead of that samurai length sword *killer work either way 👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼

[@downtownsculpts7529]

I think your right. I lateley got in a habit of exagerating on the size and length of swords. Next time. Thanks for the comment and critique.

Nice work on the master swordsturtle.

Thanks!

@@downtownsculpts7529 You're very welcome

[@karelsamuel7477]

Great work, dude! 🤘🏾 10 mins video I think is enough for this one. Just a suggestion.

[@downtownsculpts7529]

thanks, I try to make them as short as possible with keeping the content feeling complete, if you know what I mean. As an artist there's always room for improvement and that includes the editing department. Thanks again.

[@Gudsur]

Actually I completely disagree. The beauty of these videos is the whole creation process. That's why the larger sculpting channels are as popular as they are. If you have a short attention span, don't impose that on the artist.

[@Gudsur]

@@downtownsculpts7529 check out the larger sculpting channels on KZbin. Longer videos like this is actually perfect. More people than not actually prefer longer videos

[@downtownsculpts7529]

@@Gudsur thanks. Will do.

[@lolobuto1608]

What kind of clay did you use for doing this sculpture ?

[@downtownsculpts7529]

medium super Sculpey grey

[@mauriciociroconzalesrios4259]

I like the original color its fron the first turtles but i think the ankle shlould be thiner

[@downtownsculpts7529]

I did go for the original colors. Cool that you noticed. The ankles was a design choice inspired a little bit from the Nickelodeon series. Just a little less exaggerated.

[@avielthealienfromplanetmex5679]

Wonderful music
