Random TMNT recolors.
 

Blame Andrew...now I've got a bug for recoloring TMNT images, taking Mirage all red bandanas to the multi-colored version and vice versa. So I thought I'd start a thread, and as it's not really fan art since it's just slightly modified official art, I wasn't sure I should post it there, so I put it here. Move it if you see fit.

Here's the one I've done the most recently:

Here's mine.

The TMNT:The Movie one works very well with the all red. Would be interesting to see a version of the flick with the masks colored all red.

Tried (poorly) to take it a step further...

Looks good man.:)

This is a great thread, as I've also been doing this lately. Gonna have to post some of the ones I've done when I get to my computer.

Hahaha! I love this thread so much! :D

Ha, awesome stuff! Proper dig the movie cover one.

Love them, hope you do the Ninja Turtles NES cover.

This fella has gone trigger happy! Once my new tablet arrives I'll be having some fun too.

I gotta ask, how are you doing these? Obviously with photoshop or a similar program, but what exactly is the method?

For mine, I created a blank layer in Photoshop. Then I changed the blending mode to
hue and painted the colors over the originals. This retains all the shadows, etc. and only changes the hue.

I use paint shop pro and choose the hue setting in the brush menu, choose the color, and just draw over the color you want to change. But when making the different color bandanas red, I sometimes have trouble changing Donatello's bandana.

Sorry for the double post, but what issue's cover is that?

This thread is AWESOME...props to Jester for starting it, and thank you all for providing such great recoloring jobs - please...more, more!

I request more early E & L Turtles! Let's see...how about a recolor of #2 (3rd print), #5 (1st print) #18 (1st print), #33, #61 (CaW)?

To just point out some specific pieces, that CaW recolor is breathtaking, along with the #1 4th print. Great job, Chicken Whisperer...and MrPliggins, same to you! What is that illustration from? Jester...that movie adaption cover is spectacular...and loving that Duncan recolor! Although...I must say...I like Donny with a darker purple. :D

edit: CW, that was Dan Duncan's final "please hire me for this book, IDW" piece that got him the gig.

First time attempting this. Used one of Luzmagica TMNT lobby card scans.

The color is too saturated, but it's a good start!

Very red. Might be cool black and white with red bandanas

@Powder. Thanks. I'll try some more pics once I get a better hang of it.

Can someone take an OT screen and make them all red?

Here is a pretty quick one I did. Still working on my skills. Maybe someone here will do a better OT one.

Ain't a cover but apparently one of the drawings that landed Duncan the job.

That movie one art looks slick with all red bandannas and Shredder's red outfit. Fits really well, and you could even consider that a Volume One piece.

Looks good, but if you're gonna change all of the colors to that shade of red, change raphael's to that color too.

Awesome thread!!!! :tgrin::tgrin::tgrin::tgrin::tcool::tcool::tcool:!
So nice Rufus!! :D Awesome!

I had tried sometimes change bandana´s colours ...my problem is I dont know how to keep the shadows/degree of colours... ! If someone can explain how to preserve the original shadows... I probably will be able to add something good in this thread! :D

Having fun with this!

Time to generate some rage!

Rage successfully generated!

;p

Though the worst would be redifying the rock star Turtles.

Here, consider this my apology.

I might take a crack at this myself!

My humble Paint contribution.... a classic....

" Mike ....What is this? .....What happened to our bandanas?
Oh ... this is just a souvenir of Turtles Prime Dimension...... in exchange for some initial-belts .... :) :lol:

I love this thread. Here's my contribution, quickly whipped up in PSP in a few minutes:

"Genius...pure genius." - Donatello to Prof. Perry TMNT: Secret of the Ooze.

I use Paint Shop Pro, select the bandana or pads with the magic wand, then change the color with several passes at different settings on the "Change to Target" brush.
I've done that one in the past! Also the one on the surf board...thought I can't find it in my photobucket...
