TMNT - Dark Foot Leo

Okay, yeah, I read the IDW TMNT comics - don't you? They rock, seriously! _{(There's a bit more swearing than I like... -.-; )}
If you don't read the series, you might not know that this is Leonardo. No, he didn't defect to the enemy; Shredder set a trap using Casey -it was a distraction- and took Leo amid the melee. The Shredder's witch Kitsune then set to work on Leo, messing with his head through a series of mind-altering nightmares that ultimately convinced the young turtle that Oroku Saki was his savior.
So, here is the result, Leo dressed in Foot garb doing Shredder's bidding.

I gotta tell ya, I adore this pic! I was enamored from the start (which can be seen here: fav.me/d6kjfa0 ) - I mean Leo looks incredibly rad! Apologizes to Mr. Santolouco (the designer of Leo's Foot gear) for not drawing the black as wrapping; just didn't want to for some reason - maybe to see what it'd look like? Anyway, I combined Mr. CrazySaint's original design with the current one seen in the comic, cherry-picking all the stuff I loved best about both versions. ^_^
And man, as I stare at my final result, I can't help wishing D. Leo here was a figure! Oh come on! I can't be the only one who'd love to see this done by Kotobukiya! Like this: LINK

Yeah, okay! Anyway, I think I'll do another picture of Leo like this, and put him with Alopex, the Foot's other mutant warrior. XD
Of course, I don't know what to say about the tsuba (guard) on the sword - Leo's big hands and all; it's there, you just can't see it! Kind of like God..! :thumb305629001:
