Splinter progress..maybe I'll get lucky on finishing this tonight, then it's back to the turtle...then on to Burne and Vernon

http://a4.sphotos.ak.fbcdn.net/hphot..._6785234_n.jpg

I went back to the original model...this is the reworking of the face..

Very cool turtles, Neil

Love the Rocksteady

A Nearly completed Splinter.. hands and feet need some work

Yeah, I'd definitely recommend making the feet much bigger. Ol' Splinter had some big ol' feet in the original toon!

http://a3.sphotos.ak.fbcdn.net/hphot..._5246956_n.jpg

A few more turtle changes... face animation setup, and a few anatomy fixes. as well as a complete re-color. Standing next to splinter for reference..

think I've decided on what scene to test the turtles out on..this one may take a while to animate

Wow, is that straight out of The Big Break-In?

As far as the colors on the turtles go, are you gonna go with the neon green look? I prefer that shade on Michelangelo that you have on your avatar picture.

That answer your question? :)

Getting this first scene to look right in one shot is going to be tough..

I'm going to fast track this intro recreation..so no more updates for another two weeks, but will post when done...Then it's back to more model recreation...

http://a3.sphotos.ak.fbcdn.net/hphot..._2076370_n.jpg

Oh, all right, one more..

http://a2.sphotos.ak.fbcdn.net/hphot..._4064798_n.jpg

No more real time updates, but 5 days later, I made it this far..

http://a6.sphotos.ak.fbcdn.net/hphot..._4670939_n.jpg

A little color fine tuning, gets it a final.

Wow amazing keep it up. :):)

haha that's cool!! I <3 Rocksteady. good timing!!

Minus the baby turtle scene, which will get a bit of rework, this is a final for the first 12 seconds of intro rework

Your models have come along pretty well and you have been at this project for a while. I know its rough animation hopefully you will be able to improve a bit. I haven't done a much animation but I know to get it really good could take some time.

Its looking pretty good anyway I am impressed with your work ethic and dedication to this project =)

start of remaking scene 6

http://a8.sphotos.ak.fbcdn.net/hphot..._5495345_n.jpg

Toughest and longest 3 second scene in the intro to do. Green Zombie april returns!

New URL, since youtube won't let you replace stuff. This is the toughest scene to recreate...So many moving parts. The first layout of green zombie april scene!

http://www.vimeo.com/23635469

another day, another try at getting a tough scene to look right

Persevere, Neil, persevere!

http://a4.sphotos.ak.fbcdn.net/hphot..._1178592_n.jpg

2 hours later, almost done

http://vimeo.com/23635469

The Group shot and one before it needs work...but the rest looks OK considering. It'll all be fixed once the entire thing is blocked out.

Onto the next set..

http://a6.sphotos.ak.fbcdn.net/hphot..._6110718_n.jpg

Much as I hate to do it, going to re-animate those turtles one last time in the last few scenes...a few minor changes to the turtle model itself

http://a5.sphotos.ak.fbcdn.net/hphot..._2841893_n.jpg

It's only in one shot for two seconds, but the next model to improve

http://a8.sphotos.ak.fbcdn.net/hphot..._2950916_n.jpg


Needs work

http://a8.sphotos.ak.fbcdn.net/hphot..._6130673_n.jpg


Trying a different technique to get clouds to look right... Digitally tracing doesn't work alone

http://vimeo.com/23635469

Took a bit of a break...re-animated the last few scenes..came off decent enough that I think I'll go back and fix the last three..

GREAT work man, but I have a few suggestions for each model (Sorry if im late)

1. April almost looks perfect, but her hair bothers me. The "indent" between the sides of her hairdo and the top "dome" of her hairdo are off imo, im not quite sure how to describe it but it feels funny to me

2. the turtles (noteably don, but i assume your using the same base on all of them) are a bit too pudgy and should be slimmed just a TAD.

3. bebop Looks -awesome-, i didnt like the head at first but by the final pic it looked great, but his feet still look too flat/pointed at the tips. he wears sneakers and if i remember correctly it has a very bulbus and round tip, not so narrowly pointed

4. rocksteady looks great, no complaints from me

5. krang looks dead on, no complaints from me

keep it up man, this stuff is awesome

*edit*

6. mikeys chux are off in most of what ive seen (according to "real" concepts)
the rope/chain (chain in this case) on nunchaku is supposed to be custom fit for the owner/user. The rope/chain is supposed to be as long as the users hand is wide, so that if hanging it over the knuckles, there is just enough chain/rope to allow the batons to hang over the back of the hand, no extra slack, allows for proper spins. I know the cartoon isnt accurate to this all the time, but its a pet peeve of mine so I wanted to mention it

I wonder if there is a way to get this noticed by the guy who did the original intro, Peter Chang, or Chung depending on where you go for info...

so far no luck finding contact info
