Popular Post R2ED Posted January 9, 2022 Popular Post Share Posted January 9, 2022 I did this for my friend's xmas gift this year. He's a big 80's kid, too. Battle report! The challenge here was trying to make them all individual more than just their head bands. I wanted to differ their greens a little between them. I also wanted them to look sewer-ridden and dirty, but still hold contrast. Came out pretty nice. Highs: *Donatello was easily my favorite that came out of this batch. His purple was a great mix and stood out. *Leo had a fun blue that was brighter than expected and gave me the idea to put their respective colors in more areas on them. *eyes were simple and effective. *use of washes and lining came out good. * muscles all have strong definition (no pun) Lows: *bandages look grungy as intended, but did get a little too bright in the edges. *absolute fail in trying to base with green on airbrush. I may need to resign myself to simply saying i suck with an airbrush. *shell colors needed a little more, but i couldn't figure out what's going wrong. *i wanted to push the greens. But needed more something to push the values. Yellow? White? What do you raise green with? 25 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Darcstaar Posted January 10, 2022 Share Posted January 10, 2022 I use clear yellow or lemon yellow mixed in to the highlight for a little extra punch. These are great. I loved TMNT growing up. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
R2ED Posted January 10, 2022 Author Share Posted January 10, 2022 @Darcstaari have lemon yellow, so I'm going to give that a try. Agree on the tmnt. I thought about doing them all in red like the classic 80s, but thought I'd better go with punchy for this gift. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
