TMNTOS Character Sheets
 

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?

I'd like these too...

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...

The lovely April O'Neil.

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!

Please do!

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:

Leonardo leads...

Donatello does... pizza?!?

Raphael is cool but rude... I mean.. crude... err rude.
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.

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.

Don't worry, I have more.

Those are some classic expressions.

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

http://i9.photobucket.com/albums/a56.../shredmood.jpg
Shredder's got some crafty eyes, he does.

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.

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

And here are the height comparisons:

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

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

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

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...s/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.

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:

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...eets/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...comicheads.jpg
I think the bottom right head looks a lot like the 4Kids' Raph.

http://i9.photobucket.com/albums/a56...omicshells.jpg
Nice finish. I'll be they used their Turtle Wax. :lol:

http://i9.photobucket.com/albums/a56...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...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...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.

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

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!

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.

we like to see splinter and bebop sheets too

No prob, magidkaiser!

Here's some more Bebop:

And here's the turnaround for Splinter:

http://i9.photobucket.com/albums/a56...ts/splint1.jpg

Good job, keep ‘em coming!

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

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

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:
http://i9.photobucket.com/albums/a56...eets/mike1.jpg
This must have been before he decided that grappling hooks were more effective than nunchucks for fighting bad guys overseas. :roll:

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

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?

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

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?

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

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.

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.

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

http://i9.photobucket.com/albums/a56...plintmood2.jpg

These are some very characteristic expressions from Splinter.

Great stuff! Thanks for the images...!

Awesome thread and images!

Oops, I forgot to include the other Foot Soldier angle:

http://i9.photobucket.com/albums/a56...smus/foot1.jpg
And here's the one I posted earlier now side-by-side with his twin for comparison.

well as we can see Playmates got atleast one design correct for the toy line hahaha:lol: :lol:

The Final Shell Shock...
 

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:

Fortunately, I do have 3 more Mirage style profiles of the Turtles themselves:

Some of you may frown since there's no Donatello this time around. This thread has been fun, but now I think it's about done. God bless, folks.
