New Ninja turtle bust in progress

Just started working on a new bust this week. Another ninja turtle piece, the third piece out of four different expressions. For this one i wanted to go slightly larger and i also want to make him rougher and more realistic with skin textures and scars. Here is the progress i have so far.

Concept bust, the starting idea i was going for. I am going to try for a more subtle expression for him in the end.
Here is the block in, about 1.5 hrs in.


Here the block in is finished and i am starting to work on the expression and forms, 4hrs in.

Here is where i am currently. I started refining more and added some forms to the face for the expression. Also started defining the shell.

I have finished painting my new hunter mask. This is the first paint scheme, I am planning on doing another version. Check out the paint progress on this piece on my facebook fan page
