TMNTOS Character Sheets

[Ohayo Kame]

It seems to me that two computer crashes ago I had the original TMNT series' official character sheets downloaded from who knows where. It's now several years later and I tried looking everywhere for them. I think it might be the kind of thing that fans aren't supposed to have, but you can find Disney characters sheets easily enough. Does anybody have those files?

[GK Punk]

I'd like these too...

[oldmanwinters]

I downloaded them from a Yahoo! TMNT fan group called "TMNT anime dub" or something like that. I can post some here and PM them to you if you want.

This one is interesting. Notice that "what to avoid" section on drawing the faces. I think the animators messed up on that one a few times...

I love his sheepish "what'd I do?" pose.

Such a cool character!

One action figure just didn't seem like enough!

The many faces of Krang!

[GK Punk]

Please do!

[oldmanwinters]

Sure, check my updated post above!

But could someone please educate me on how to make those links into real pictures?

EDIT: Thanks, Kittie!

And now, the second batch:

oh whatever. :P

And Michaelangelo is a party dude!

For today's lesson, April "models" the character model process (yes, pun intended):

With all wires removed from her head, April is finally ready to go on the air to anchor the Channel 6 Happy Hour News.

[Ohayo Kame]

Hey thanks a lot dude. I totally needed those... Um... yeah.

So is that it? No Rocksteady, Shredder, etc.?

The Turtles were actually the most important, so thanks again.

[oldmanwinters]

Don't worry, I have more.

I love that "I'll get you next time, Turtles!" pose with his fists clenched.

Shredder's got some crafty eyes, he does.

[VaughnMichael]

wow those are sooooo freaking cool are there any more oldmanwinters? I'd love to see some of other characters like Lord Dregg, Mung, Rat King, etc.

[oldmanwinters]

I don't have any of those guys, Putrescent,
but here is a generic rock soldier:

hey it's ok post any more you have i'm loving this!!

[magidkaiser]

wow i like it very much .thank you man! please if you got vernon pix post it :)

[PizzaPower]

these are really awesome, you don't mind if I use em do you for me site?

[oldmanwinters]

Sure, PizzaPower, feel free to do so. They really aren't mine anyway. Like I said, I got them from a TMNT Yahoo group. I don't know who they really belong to.

Here's an exclusive look at the weapons:
http://i9.photobucket.com/albums/a56/slimer2erasmus/TMNT%20model%20sheets/weapons2.jpg

http://i9.photobucket.com/albums/a56/slimer2erasmus/TMNT%20model%20sheets/weapons1.jpg
It seems they were hardly consistent about what Leo's katanas should be held in. Sometimes just the belt, sometimes partial covers and occasionally a full sword cover.

[Ohayo Kame]

Alright the height comparisons! Those are some more good ones; of course it's also something the animators never paid attention to. Thanks, I probably got them from the same Yahoo Club (before my old computer died) but I also can't remember which one.

Krang is even more disgusting when you see him up close and from all angles.
:dead:

[oldmanwinters]

Here's some very cool model sheets for the old Mirage comic style.
Does anyone know if they were from a how-to-draw book or something?

http://i9.photobucket.com/albums/a56/slimer2erasmus/TMNT%20model%20sheets/comic.jpg
That box with Don reminds me of TMNT #1's opening scene, even though it kinda look like he's hitting a robot.

http://i9.photobucket.com/albums/a56/slimer2erasmus/TMNT%20model%20sheets/comicheads.jpg
I think the bottom right head looks a lot like the 4Kids' Raph.

http://i9.photobucket.com/albums/a56/slimer2erasmus/TMNT%20model%20sheets/comicheads2.jpg

http://i9.photobucket.com/albums/a56/slimer2erasmus/TMNT%20model%20sheets/comicshells.jpg
Nice finish. I'll be they used their Turtle Wax. :lol:

http://i9.photobucket.com/albums/a56/slimer2erasmus/TMNT%20model%20sheets/comichands.jpg
I myself dabble in drawing cartoon characters, but hands seem to be the toughest thing to get right!

http://i9.photobucket.com/albums/a56/slimer2erasmus/TMNT%20model%20sheets/turtlefeet.jpg
I never knew the Turtles' had a 3rd toe, I just thought it was an oversized heel!

http://i9.photobucket.com/albums/a56/slimer2erasmus/TMNT%20model%20sheets/comicteeth.jpg
Kind of ironic that the cartoon show model sheets discouraged the animators from letting the turtles show teeth when speaking, doncha think?

Yeah they are, I happen to have that.

Keep them coming, this is really neat.

[BigApple3AM]

I nominate this as the best technodrome thread of the year! This rules, oldmanwinters you sir, rock... hard. :D

[VaughnMichael]

yea I have that book also it's great it's called "who to draw eastman & lairds teenage mutant ninja turtles!" love it and I love this thread and agree with Ecto!

[oldmanwinters]

I nominate this as the best technodrome thread of the year! This rules, oldmanwinters you sir, rock... hard. :D

Wow, thanks, Ectocooler [and Putrescent]! It's rare that I get that kind of praise. I'm glad everyone has found these sheets welcome. I still have a few more that I'll post later too.

[magidkaiser]

we like to see splinter and bebop sheets too

[oldmanwinters]

No prob, magidkaiser!

Here's some more Bebop:

Good job, keep ‘em coming!

[Ultimate Shredder]

Sweet! Can you post some of baxter and the technodrome?

[Ohayo Kame]

Not to pry, but I see aprilhead1 & aprilhead4, so I'm inclined to believe that there are at least two more of her face.

[oldmanwinters]

Sorry, no baxter or technodrome.
And the Aprilhead files are all posted. Files 3 and 4 are the wireframe turnarounds. Files 1 and 2 are the completed head turnarounds with the lines removed. The way I posted them makes them look like they are two big files so I went back and spaced them to avoid further confusion.

But I do have the rest of Bebop's expressions:

And here's a simple Michaelangelo pose:

This must have been before he decided that grappling hooks were more effective than nunchucks for fighting bad guys overseas. :roll:

[Shredder]

These are great! I'd love to see more stuff like this for the original show!

[Vegita-San]

Aww man, These will come in VERY handy for perfecting my 3D Character models! The ONLY thing I want to request is a side shot and front shot for Krang and his Android. And if they have them, a Side Shot, profile, and Front Shot of the Technodrome and TRansport Module.

Who posted these, and how in the hell did they get them?

[Shredder]

Good thought- Technodrome shots from various angles (or any concept art of it) would be incredible.

[Ecto Jedi]

Are these the actual materials the old 'toon artists used back in '87 for reference? Or were these drawn later by a very patient and dedicated fan?

[Masked Ninja]

These are freakin' awesome. :thyper: Thanks for sharing, dude.

[Vegita-San]

THe height Comparisons ARE actual artist imagery from the show, I know because one of the Storyboard artists sent them to me. Gee, I wish I still had her contact info...

The others I havn't seen, however.

[Ohayo Kame]

And the Aprilhead files are all posted. Files 3 and 4 are the wireframe turnarounds. Files 1 and 2 are the completed head turnarounds with the lines removed. The way I posted them makes them look like they are two big files so I went back and spaced them to avoid further confusion.

Ah nuts, someone has been slipping stupid pills into my Zoloft again. Anyway, you know what's been posted and what (if anything) is left. So just do your thing, and accept our thanks.

[oldmanwinters]

Sorry, I've been really busy with my Hebrew homework this week that I'd forgotten all about this:

Allright, this is it: The Big Finale! I wish I had some more toon models like Vernon or the Technodrome, but all I have left is a generic looking Leo:

can you enlarge some these pics so I can read what is being said on the bottom of the pages. I can only make out Raphael's .

And seriously these character sheets need to be included on the DVD releases. Theye are so good.

Is there a pic of Shredder's face with out his mask and helmet?

[Masked Ninja]

I can read it - here, I'll type 'em out:

Leonardo: Leo is the leader of the group. Although his skills of stealth and silent tracking are second to none, he is most at home in the center of the action - with his twin katana blades flashing faster than the eye can follow!
Leo is a leaper and a kicker, as a result of his hands being occupied most of the time. He uses his agility to perform some of the most spectacular gymnastics in comics!

Michaelangelo: Michaelangelo the enigmatic Turtle - shown here with his ever-present nunchaku. His face, a study in grim determination and his body a coiled spring ready to strike. His aura is one of confidence and deadly cool. His chosen weapon, the nunchaku, necessitates speed, coordination, and the concentration to put these factors together.
It takes eight pounds of pressure per square inch to break human bone. The nunchaku generate ninety!

Raphael: Last, but not least, we have Raphael - hot-headed and reactionary, and a bloodthirsty berserker to boot! Raphael is the sweetheart of the team.
The sai is a dagger with a circular blade without an edge. The two prongs on its sides serve to enable its wielder to parry or entrap an enemy's sword (or almost any other weapon), leaving him open to attack from the sai's mate.


My notes:
Wow, Mikey's description is almost opposite the treatment he gets in the cartoons! "Confidence and deadly cool," eh? Now I want to write/draw something where he's as kickawesome as he should be. (Even in the universes where he is a bit of a goofy slacker, I love to see him focus and kick shell.)

And it makes me chuckle a little how they call Raph a bloodthirsty berserker and then turn around and say he's the "sweetheart" of the Turtles. I understand how it works... but it's still funny as written.

wow, I know!! I guess that is the true portrayal of nunchaku weilding ninja turtle, that Mirage envisioned. And your right it is the complete opposite of how the cartoons have portrayed him. To be honest I would love to get to know this calmly confident and deadly cool personality of Michaelangelo's. It seems almost alien to how I'm used to seeing him. I also felt alittle miffed out how Mikey gets catagorised as the comic relief or the team screw-up. To bad this version of him doesn't exist out side the Mirage Comic world.

And it makes me chuckle a little how they call Raph a bloodthirsty berserker and then turn around and say he's the "sweetheart" of the Turtles. I understand how it works... but it's still funny as written

I think the call him "sweet heart" because he has a flitation nature or something with the ladies. I think I read some where in his profile that he sometimes flirts.

[Tora_Chan]

I think the call him "sweet heart" because he has a flitation nature or something with the ladies. I think I read some where in his profile that he sometimes flirts.

I think they were simply being sarcastic.

[Sage Ninja]

I don't think they where being sarcasitic. Raphael is supposed to be the hard core turtle with a heart of gold buried deep, deep, deeeeep inside that hard shell of his. :D Just ask any rabid Raphael fan **looks at Buslady**.

Can I see some character sheets of the Fly and human Bater Stockman. And maybe some of the Rat King.

[Sage Ninja]

are there any character sheets floating around of Master Splainter when he was still human? I've been trying to draw human Splinter but I can't his face right. Also is there any character sheets of Shredder with out his get up wearing street clothes? I would like to draw OT Saki. :)

[Buffy]

These are awesome! Especially the ones from the old toon. It would have been nice it those where put in a book 'how to draw the ninja turtles' (like the mirage TMNT).

Hey, I loved the scans you made of the OTS of Ninja Turtles. I am a HUGE fan of the "old school" April. Can I ask a favor, por vavor? Can you send/post those same scans of April, but BIGGER? Like big enough to fill the page without running out of room and still have a reasonable border for the sides and top of the page. I guess you could say "FULL PAGE" kind of copies. I am an artist and wish to use these to make my drawings.

I would appreciate the help a WHOLE lot. Thanks in advance.

[CyberCubed]

Wow, this is an awesome thread.

[LennyD]

:oops: truly did NOT mean to double vote! PLEASE, forgive me, it was a truly messed up thing. It won't happen again!

This thread is just SO cool with the TMNT OS Character Sheets on it. I have looked every where for these. Especially the April O'Neil ones. Truely BIG fan of the OT April.

Great sheets! :D

Sorry, they were not my scans. I merely downloaded them from a Yahoo fan group years ago. I cannot rescan them but I might be able to resize them for you later. I am on a Christian mission trip to Belize this week. Remind me in about a week or so and I will see what I can do.

P.S. Didn't Murphy or something post these on his blog recently? I wonder if he had the originals or if he just copied them from here?

Sorry to double post but I don't know how to quote two different people!

I love seeing these! The Character sheets with the descriptions are really awesome. I really like Dynamic sketches like these, I can't stop looking at them all

[LennyD]

Hi, oldmanwinters,
Just in case your back on the 24th, or later, just a reminder of what we talked about last week. I ask if you could rescan the OS April O'Neil character sheets. You said you could possibly "resize" them for me, when you got back from your trip.

IF and WHEN you DO resize them, try, please to make them "full size" images,
OR at least half page ones. I can work better with those kind of images. When I printed the ones you posted, they came out WAY too small. I don't know how to resize a image on the web, UNLESS, it has one of the enlarging arrows in the lower right hand corner.

Truly hope you can help me out. I have looked and looked for these character sheets for a looooooong time. Thanks in advance.
-LennyD.

[Roseangelo]

Lenny - I don't think anyone on these boards as the originals to scan from. I'm pretty sure the resizing oldmanwinters speaks of would happen in Photoshop, which probably isn't exactly what you're looking for. You can get nearly the same effect by having your printer enlarge the art when you print it.

[oldmanwinters]

Sorry, it doesn't look like this made it any different. Rose is probably right about trying to adjust the printer. I really do wish we could hear from the owner of the originals.

[Sage Ninja]

http://i9.photobucket.com/albums/a56/slimer2erasmus/TMNT%20model%20sheets/aprilhead1.jpg

I think the bust in the middle is the best angle of April. She looks very pretty here. Are there any character sheets of April in other outfits?

http://i9.photobucket.com/albums/a56/slimer2erasmus/TMNT%20model%20sheets/shredmood.jpg

I love how expressional Shredder's eyes are. Only his eyes are showing but such a range of diffrent emotions! I am the only one who think OT Shredder for all his bumbling tendacies had hot eyes?

You`re not the only one. Besides thinking Shredder`s hot, I definitely think his eyes are the hottest! :D

I am totally with you ladies! ;)

[LennyD]

Hey, guys,
Thanks for the attempt at resizing the images of April. I,also, came up with the idea of using the photo shop to enlarge the pictures. But I REALLY hoped I could get them enlarged by other methods.:ohwell: But, LIKE I SAID, thanks.
AnyWHO, for my next request, I would like caps of April, from the first episode, when she had bought and gave the turtles their trench coats and hats. The scene where she is looking at them with her arms crossed saying,"Well, it's a SLIGHT improvement." Secondly, The scenes of her as she gets their names wrong as they head toward "Ninja Pizza", and apologizes each time.( Her expressions get sadder and more guilt filled.) Third, The scene where Milkey unties April from the chair she was tied up in. Call me perverted, but I wish for this one in frame by frame, cause I, being a man, would just LOVE to see Ms. O'Neil in "slow-mo" popping footage.:evilgrin: Thanks in advance, and thanks, again for the help on the "attempt"

[NameGoesHere1066]

bondage loving perv :P ;)

And I agree that OT Shredder was hot. And seemed he had a thing for April as well.

[oldmanwinters]

My apologizes for reviving this long dead thread (I'm studying to be a preacher and currently working as an archivist, so what else should one expect from me but revival of old information?), but I think this is pretty awesome:
http://page6.auctions.yahoo.co.jp/jp/auction/f100326252

It's the Japanese versions of the model sheets for sale (it might only be photocopies of the original model sheets), and we even get to see character designs for the Bugman episode! If I'm reading the description correctly, it looks like this lot includes 82 items! Wow, too bad I don't think US residents can buy from Yahoo Japan Auctions!

[Bauer536]

Interesting character sheets. I can't believe the professionalism the animators put into drawing these. Also, those Mirage Turtles Bios were nice. I like the RPG ones better. Mike's was spot on, but for anyone who thinks he's portrayed as a screw-up on the cartoons, I say "Nay Nay" (John Pinette quote).:tlol: I did not like Don's that much. It said nowhere that he was the brains or genius of the group. What the heck?:tmad: Leo's was okay, but it should have explained more than just being a leader. Where was the part about being the most responsible of the family?:tconfuse: I don't know. RPG has the best ones.

[Powder]

I did not like Don's that much. It said nowhere that he was the brains or genius of the group. What the heck?:tmad:

That's because he isn't really like that in the comics. Not the the extent of the cartoon, at least.

[Krang]

It's the Japanese versions of the model sheets for sale (it might only be photocopies of the original model sheets), and we even get to see character designs for the Bugman episode! If I'm reading the description correctly, it looks like this lot includes 82 items! Wow, too bad I don't think US residents can buy from Yahoo Japan Auctions!
Thanks for sharing the link! Actually, there are some sites that will allow people from outside Japan to bid on Yahoo Japan auctions, although they cost extra due to commissions and shipping.

[VaughnMichael]

damn looks like they have a lot of characters!
I'd love a closeup of bugman.

Just figured I'd share another find from Yahoo! Auctions Japan. Looks like here's a big lot (50 pieces, actually) of character model sheets featuring designs for "Return of the Shredder":

Check out that steam roller! :-P

I guess the person must had worked or been a friend of a member of A-1 productions. And 8,000 Yen is about $102. But here's the bad news: According to some translation, it "does not corresponds to international shipping and only ships in the Tokyo source area". Now that I now own an actual background, it's a shame this can't be owned by anyone outside of Japan. :(

[oldmanwinters]

I figured I'd throw this here as well. More model sheets found on Yahoo Auctions Japan! This time its Irma, Burne, and some "Incidental" characters from the Channel Six news staff:

http://page10.auctions.yahoo.co.jp/jp/auction/m89379446

[pannoni1]

Here are the pictures for future reference. I know the character above Burne is some generic Channel 6 cameraman. Note that on the height chart, each vertical line represents approximately one foot (30 cm), so the Turtle shown on the side at 5 feet on each frame can give a good idea of each character's height.

I would recommend the site www.ninjaturtlecollectibles.com if you are looking for a good reference guide of these. I got my compilation from Francis Moss in the mail today, and in addition to all of the characters we've seen above it also contains model sheets of the Turtle Blimp, Glider, Turtle Van, Channel 6 News Van, Cheapskate, the Trasnport Module (including the Amphibious Module used for Seasons 6 and 7), several angles of the Technodrome exterior, and even pizza! It also includes Donatello's tracking device and his early warning system device used in the later seasons. I highly recommend this if you want to do a nice recreation of the OT's style.

Good find, man. I don't know if I'll order any on account of the price (granted, it seems like a decent deal for over 80 bound pages of high res artwork), but there is no denying how cool it would be too have access to these pics. Too bad Moss isn't offering a cheaper, PDF version. I'd probably jump all over that.

got mine today. So many more angles than I thought ever existed in these character sheets.. will come in very handy

[oldmanwinters]

Looks like Francis Moss is offering a few new series of model sheets from later seasons:

Revenge of the Fly:
http://ninjaturtlecollectibles.com/teenage-mutant-ninja-turtles-revenge-of-the-fly/

Night of the Rogues:
http://ninjaturtlecollectibles.com/teenage-mutant-ninja-turtles-night-of-the-rogues/

I'm not sure, but it looks like both episodes are covered in the same PDF order. I haven't purchased it, so I don't really know.

[VaughnMichael]

Wow thanks now these I'm interested in!
EDIT: Ok I got this and have to say this is great and cheap so everyone who is a fan should order one!

[oldmanwinters]

Nice to know!

EDIT:
Care to provide us a full character listing for future reference, Vaughn? :-)

[oldmanwinters]

Moss just shared a cool shot of a battle-damaged cyborg stegosaurus that was part of the concept art for the Night of the Dark Turtle.

I really don't remember if these creatures actually made it into the episode or not!

Thanks to everyone that contributed to the Character sheets thread. It's fun seeing how these sketches transform into the OT characters we love! :D

For me, I could copy an image somewhat okay, but to make an original drawing (a character from a different viewpoint or body position) would be very difficult for me. This thread is almost making me want to try and draw these characters out. :P:lol:

[psychturtle]

Loved this thread. Does anyone have pictures of the original 1988 ninja turtle toy package art with the turtles by themselves rather than on the actual package? I'm basically looking for the same style of art as what's on those packages, but in a similar format to the sketches shared in this thread. I'm working on a collage/art project and was hoping to score some jpeg pics of the turtles like on the '88 packaging (i.e. the poses of the turtles like on Leo's package card). I'm apparently not resourceful enough to find these on the regular search engines and was unable to find these prints. I'll post this in another thread as well. I appreciate your time and any help you guys and gals can provide.

[Powder]

Raziel88 there is a section for you to post your fan-art and this thread is not it.

[Metalwolf]

I'd always wondered what Eastman and Laird's original Bebop and Rocksteady looked like.I agree, those look AWESOME. :D

And the first version of Bebop, he looks intimidating! By the way his demeanor looks to be in that picture, I doubt he's be as dim and buffoonish as the Bebop in the OT.

I like the second version of Rocksteady, that one doesn't look like he'd be all that dumb. Maybe he'd be like one of those guys obsessed with blowing stuff up, judging by the looks of all that hardware in his backpack.

[SpellbinderV]

Can anyone share more Technodrome views (if they exist)?

I only have 3/4 back and front views i got from Francis Moss back in the day. And now they can be found on turtles wiki.

I mostly interested in a top part now (with the Eye and side guns), but any other ones will be good too.

I still wonder where the entrance to the Technodrome is supposed to be :roll:

I recently got back to my Technodrome 3d model. I started to model it because all other ones i stumbled upon consisted various deviations from original design. I attempt to model it as close to original design as i can.

So far an interesting find was a concept art of Technodrome by Mark Taylor, who helped to design it.

Never noticed Leo was pretty much doing a Mirage pose on the top right corner of the toy packaging. Pretty cool.

[Sumac]

Is it a sketch for a toy or a cartoon Technodrome?

[Vegita-San]

Is it a sketch for a toy or a cartoon Technodrome?

mix of both, looks like it..

[Powder]

Is it a sketch for a toy or a cartoon Technodrome?

Toys were developed first, very early on, including stuff like this. It's very likely that the design used in-show was based on concept art such as that one there (which itself was based on loose descriptions from David Wise's pitches).

David Wise probably didn't pitch the idea of the Technodrome, even though he claimed to, so it's safe to just say assume it was a toy concept before he got involved.
