TMNT Complete Episode Work/Image Thread

[Shredder565]

goal for today reached, tomorrow is front detail...

[Shredder565]

17 hours of building later, just one little section left before it can be permanently symatrized and dome panel construction can begin to finish it off.

Actually, haven't you noticed that April has been looking better all the time? (the eyes)

(Now)


(Then)

[Shredder565]

i''m definetly too close to it to be able to tell, that's for sure. getting eye strain ;o)

20 hours in, just needs a bit of touching up, and minor color corrections, and it'll be ready for panels and portholes tomorrow.

[Shredder565]

halfway done with dome panel setup. just have to make sure it looks smooth and sphere and will be able to extrude them and be done. and then try to finish up april




and just for comparison, this stage at 2009.
almost 7 years ago.


I think you can see why a new one was needed

[Shredder565]

halfway half way....with a little bit of cleanup, this could look rather nice.......

[Shredder565]

It still needs a bit of clean up and color correction, but all main details are finally done. I guess I can live with that.

2016 on left, 2009 on right





2009 on left 2016 on right

[Shredder565]

just taking a bit of a fixup break, messing around with the newer models a bit. I think i've finally gotten them as accurate as I can. this from one of my favorite choreographed shots.

[Shredder565]

modeling is done, now for cleanup




cleanup also includes more color repair. original had 260 colors. trying to pair that down to 120.


getting there..looking better.

Nice WIP! You are doing a ton of work. I always was a fan of TMNT.

it helps when you have no famiily or girlfriend to distract you.. sigh ;o)

80 percent done.

Everything is now connected properly. All holes and broken edges have been filled. Most colors corrected. Down from 260 to about 110 colors, will probably wind up at 150 when top part is done. finished tonight or tomorrow..

will then try to finish up april and start on Splinter. I will wind up with my first attempt at human Baxter Stockman.

[Shredder565]

Just about done. Just little things now.

[Shredder565]

28 hours later, i'd say that's done. anything i did to it now would be so minor it'd go un noticed by most. now lets see if i can finish april.

[Shredder565]

the new on left, old on right.


The never ending struggle. 15 tries to get the face right, 15 fails.
it's all done except the face.

I am NOT planning to do the intro a fifth time...no way, no how, BUT, I DID want to update just this one shot taking a break from april with the newer models


It's fun looking back.. this is how it looked in 2010, just 6 short years ago.
