My grandmas name was Brenda and she passed 2 days ago and her favourite animal was turtles, she had all kinds of turtle gnomes in her garden, on her counters and even as her laptop screensaver, this video was perfectly timed
Leonardo, Donatello, Michelangelo, and Raphael were sad when their sister, Brenda, didn’t get mutated by the mutagen that made them the TMNT. However, while she couldn’t learn martial arts, that didn’t mean she couldn’t back up her brothers in the fight against Shredder after Master Splinter found a discarded rocket pack in the sewers for her to use.
Brenda lore go hard man. She never turns her back on an opponent, never runs, doesn’t need guidance for her missiles, and she and can even take off the missile launcher if she needs to do hand to hand combat.
Can we bring attention to how photo realistic this turtle is? There is so much attention to detail and so much realism in the proportions and textures that this straight up looks like a cast turtle. Incredible work. Brenda is truly beautiful
I imagine that Brenda is built at 1:1 scale, but that her missiles do the exact same amount of damage as a full size tank shell. I can totally see her hanging out on top of a tank and providing additional fire support.
I honeslty love the inclusion of setting up certain parts of the process, like the box for the airbrush or preparation of paints. It gives a little insight of what goes on behind the scenes and I, peronsally, would love to see more of those!
A proud tortoise and turtle owner here chiming in. The bottom side of their shell is called the plastron, and the top is the carapace. There, everyone learned something! Cool video as always!
I'm a simple gal; I see North of the Border upload, i immediately hit the like button and watch the video all the way to the end just to show my support.
Instead of making it an action piece, it could have been hella cute with small mouse technicians in the process of loading the rockets by hand (paw?). Time to take the fight to the cats! :P
Ok Wildlife ecologist here😊 fact tortoises are turtles, but turtles aren’t tortoises! Tortoises have thick strong legs that they use for digging. Where stereotypical turtles have webbed feet with smaller limbs built for streamlining the body as well as for propulsion through water! 🐢
@@ryangalvatron4451 if it doesn’t have a tail it’s not a monkey, even if it has a monkey kind of shape, if it doesn’t have a tail it’s not monkey it’s an ape
In the German language, we don't have seperate words for turtles and tortoises, the word for both is Schildkröte - literally shieldtoad. If we need to tell turtles and tortoises apart, a turtle is a Wasserschildkröte and a tortoise is a Landschildkröte.
Fun fact, the English word "critter" comes from the word kröte! "Critter" refers to basically any small animal, though, as it has seen a lot of use that gave it new meanings.
Every time you use the make-up sponge, I picture your "non-platonic" roommate walking in with blotches of paint and washes on her face saying "THIS IS NOT A GOOD LOOK FOR ME!!!"
High-key, this is my favorite video on your channel!! This tortoise is beautiful looking with completely accurate proportions and coloring, not to mention the hilarious rockets and how the finished sculpture is tied together masterfully. Your way of narrating and capturing the process also really helps. Keep it up 🎉!
Saltwater turtles (sea turtles) have flippers, but plenty of freshwater turtles have feet like what you made. The shell is pretty smooth like a turtle shell, but the rest of the body is much more tortoise-like, so you could call it whatever you want
Outstanding sculpt... maybe your best one yet! It's one thing to sculpt an original creature from imagination and not having to worry about how accurate it will need to be... and then there's sculpting for realism. You nailed it, man! 👏👏👏
Scale, huh? ...First thing that came to mind were the giant Galapagos tortoises, so...I'd Brenda's a pretty decently sized turtle...which makes her rockets a touch more threatening.
The tortoise looks so good. I love all the details that you did. I understand that this is a fantastical idea, but the holes on the carapace (top shell) looks really out of place to me. The shell of the turtle/tortoise is actually the combination of the vertebrae, and ribs of the animal. When damaged it exposes the muscles and the innards of the reptile, before healing up. However I have never seen a carapace with holes on it so who can say if it would look like this. But that is the only critique I will give it as a person who sees tortoises weekly. You did a fantastic job on this girl. You are always impressing me with your attention to details.
Never seen a dmg but seen some that have had dmg and it grows back, looks a bit like trees growing the bark back with layers. Iirc often it's fully healed and can't be seen after a few years, unless it's a combination of dmg then bad food and it'll be permanent.
@@HoggaforfanI have seen tortoises with deformed carapaces due to malnutrition, but I can’t recall ever seeing a tortoise that has survived extreme shell damage. That is interesting though.
i think ur right but honestly an easy way around it is that whatever it was that did the damage just dented the shell kind of? rather than actually penetrating
The outermost layers of the shell are made of keratin like your nails before it gets down to bone, so there can be chips broken or even peeled off of the carapace without too much “real” damage or dangerous cracks. This battle damage is pretty believable!
Brenda was my favorite project in a while. She looks great and I love the idea of her just idk, growing hands to take her belt off. I imagined her as being about the size of a Golden Retriever.
once that launcher starts firing there is no way that singular belt strap is gonna keep the turret in place. it at least needs another strap hooked to the front of her shell or something like that to prevent it from sliding backwards realism aside though, i love this one, and i love brenda. great work adam!
The warrior animals are always my favorite. Id like to see them all stood together the next time you make one and show the glamor shots. This one is awesome
Brenda reminds me of the "Discworld" turtle. Discworld is a British 2 part TV show on UA-cam. Discworld sits on the backs of 4 elephants (North, South, East and West) and they stand on the back of a huge turtle that flies through outer space. Good show.
@@mrpersoonman I would say most people are smart enough to know that they're bots, but considering the comment has quite a few likes, I stand corrected
The Mecha-Turtle from Mother 3 bears a striking resemblence to Brenda! Is there any chance we could get an Ultimate Chimera but realistic and horrifying? Great work as always!
2nd time asking can you make voltron next? If not, CONVINCING. BRITISH MAN GO!!!!! Dear Adam, I implore you to consider embarking on the creation of a Voltron model as your next project. This iconic synthesis of intricate design and nostalgic reverence is not merely a tribute to a beloved franchise; it represents a veritable tapestry of artistry and engineering that would undoubtedly captivate your audience.

North before: "I mean, it's not amazing, but it's good enough." North now: [Casually makes one of the most realistic turtles i've ever seen casually, doesnt say it's not good] Proud of you bud
According to the anatomy, especially the shape of the feet, you’ve made a tortoise. Tortoises have that distinctive up-turned elbow look you gave Brenda. That and a tortoise shell is more rounded. Turtle shells are flattened for ease of swimming
It’s funny how much I’ve learnt about painting from this channel that it’s almost come full circle. I mostly paint to create reptile and amphibian terrariums. Haven’t done a tortoise yet though! I’m not sure I could make something strong enough to house Brenda.
Convex underside proves that Brenda was, indeed, an AFAB tortoise. I was half hoping it would be concave and that Brenda would be a transtoise, but alas
I feel like Brenda needs a friend. Armed with twin-linked miniguns because of course....Its funnier to imagine her as basically "normal turtle* scale however, mostly cause the size of the launchers makes her essentially fire tiny firework bottle rockets. And thats cute.
Kinda funny to see just a normal turtle with rocket launcher, not a cyborg turtle or a turtle with rocket launcher arms. Just a normal turtle with attached launchers.
You know what snapping turtles are terrifying. And they might not be tortoises, but they still have feet which they can walk with. But in the end of the day, Brenda is perfectly sized for a D&D game. :3
I've said it before, and I'll say it again, that glamour shots song is an absolute jam! I like to think Brenda is 1:1 scale. A tiny force of destruction!
Fun thing! Tortoises walk on their tippy toes, especially their front feet, while Turtles walk on flat feet or flippers. That's the vital difference. They're all Turtles/Chelonians. And many tortoises cannot swim but some turtles don't do it much either. Remember people the cute baby turtle being offered you needs a gigantic enclosure and a commitment of over a century. So don't get one until you know way more than anyone wants to know about common pet species. ESPECIALLY do not get a red eared slider turtle or a baby Sulcata/Spur-Thighed Tort.
As I'm watching this just thinking back to when I was in high school, how loved sculpting, and back then UA-cam was still a new platform and like i could of done this for a living...
4:04 "[...] start to build up her back SHell with an iniTIAl SHort SHell layer on top to get the size and SHape correct before thickening it up substanTIAlly [...]" I find the alliteration pleasing! No idea if it was deliberate or not, though I am placing my bet that it was. 4:40 "Otherwise with the shell shape looking ship shape" is just a lovely cherry on top!

I'm sorry for your loss and I hope this video made things better
My grandma's name is Brenda and suddenly I feel compelled to check on her.
Edit: She's doing good.
Sorry for your loss. 😢
God truly does make miracles. I am so sorry for your loss and I hope you’re doing well.
I'm so sorry for your loss ❣😔😞

The turtles win constantly because god is on whichever side has the best artillery.
Brenda lore go hard man. She never turns her back on an opponent, never runs, doesn’t need guidance for her missiles, and she and can even take off the missile launcher if she needs to do hand to hand combat.
Foot to foot combat?
@terdragontra8900 you heard him right. Brenda’s cousin is one of the teenage mutant ninja turtles, y’know
Tortoises can’t run tho🤓
Never turns her back to a fight wait us Brenda white beard

I can totally see her hanging out on top of a tank and providing additional fire support.
Adam should use Brenda to recreate that one scene from Iron Man when he blows up a tank with a very small missile lol
But... would that then be a fishtank? 🤔
I pictured Brenda tank size, myself. She’s larger than life!
Yes
@@Captainumerica She wouldn't use a fishtank, being a Tortoise!
I honeslty love the inclusion of setting up certain parts of the process, like the box for the airbrush or preparation of paints. It gives a little insight of what goes on behind the scenes and I, peronsally, would love to see more of those!
Yeah!! Totally agree. I love seeing his process
I like to imagine Brenda being a pet during the day and sneaking of at night to lunch her rockets at unsuspecting squirrels in the neighbourhood.
So they either have 3 or 4 toes it depends on the Species
She's missing hat and she would be like Pepe the platypus
The enemy of squirrel with a gun
Fighting neighbourhood crime😂❤
A turtle? (Brenda puts her hat on) BRENDA THE TURTLE??!
A proud tortoise and turtle owner here chiming in. The bottom side of their shell is called the plastron, and the top is the carapace.
There, everyone learned something!
Cool video as always!
3:43 Word of the day: Plastron. It's the way-too-cool name for the belly shell
Yes, yes it is
And the thin "scales" that make up the top of the shell are called Scutes! They continually grow and shed in layers.
2:33 Honorary mention word: Tortillian. It's a great because it can refer to texture that is similar to either tortoises or tortillas.
0:11 Adam, the word you’re searching for is rocket launchers
In reality they're more like grenade launchers, since the pods have no backblast passthrough and the projectiles lack stabilizing fins
well they are more linked 6 the banana family
IRL Blastoise
Now he needs a salamander with a jetpack and a flamethrower aswell as a frog with whips and a flower pot💀

Why does your profile pic have four ears.
Two cat ears and two human ears. ;-;
Could you imagine a cartoon created by this man? It would be absolutely wild, I'm sure.
Yes
With Terry the Octo-skull/Skull-ctopus as the main character
I would not only watch that - I would pay to watch it. His character designs are so fun.
@@Cyn_the_goober Would Brenda be the main antagonist? Who would you pitch to be the villain to Terry’s story?

Time to take the fight to the cats! :P
think youre talking about “war tortoise” which is a mobile game that has this lul
@@amairandom10 Omg, it's actually a thing, and it's also on Steam.
very close to how I imagined it.
11:27 considering those rockets don't have stabilizing finns, i would say that level of wonkiness in the trajectory is very realistic
Ok Wildlife ecologist here😊 fact tortoises are turtles, but turtles aren’t tortoises! Tortoises have thick strong legs that they use for digging. Where stereotypical turtles have webbed feet with smaller limbs built for streamlining the body as well as for propulsion through water! 🐢
It is a terrapin. Let us leave it there.
So the same thing as tigers are cats but domestic cats aren't tigers? 🤔

Monkeys aren't donkeys. Leave me alone.

Same in dutch, except it would be sea shield-toad (generally)
@juiceboxfromthevoid same in danish :)

1:58 Most tortoises have 5 toes, but some species can have 4 or even 3 toes.

She may be slow, but she really packs a punch, a explosive punch!
Honestly one of my favourite sculpts from you in recent times, Brenda looks really realistic
We need a MINETURTEL RIGHT NOW TO GO WITH BRENDA, SO WE CAN HAVE A ARMY!!
Hehe, sorry, I love Turts and Torts.
Mine turtle?
"Hello!"
This might be my new favorite North of the Border project. Brenda is perfect.

Pfft

True art requires sacrifices 😔
I was also gonna reply to this 💀💀
We need to see all 3 if your giant animal (machine gun bear, flamethrower t-rex, and now the tortoise cannon) creatures in a 3 way battle
Yeah It's Friday and time for some tiny nerdy things 😍😍
what i think could’ve looked really cool is if you gave brenda a camo print on her carapace? looks amazing as it is though 🙌🙌
That would be Blastoise in real life.

According to the anatomy, especially the shape of the feet, you’ve made a tortoise. Tortoises have that distinctive up-turned elbow look you gave Brenda. That and a tortoise shell is more rounded. Turtle shells are flattened for ease of swimming
10:42 that was very unsafe 😂
Another great build! Love the leathery texture on belt and tortoise

Their both the same species family thing just ones more aquatic
