New Leaked Book Images
 

Once again, the turtle designs look so cool. I believe some of those pictures are of the on set models. Shredder looks menacing. Splinter is cute, yadda ... yadda.

Everything so far is great, has me feeling anticipation for a big screen turtles property like I'm a small child again.

So awesome. Loved the new designs since day one. Movies gonna do good. Can't wait to weekend of August 8th. I'm gonna try and see twice. Maybe three times. :tgrin::tgrin::tgrin::tcool:

Is it considered "leaked" if the guy was given a copy specifically for showing people pictures?

Is this an actual "to be published" book? If so, what is its' name?:o:o

Is this from the upcoming Ultimate Visual History?

I forgot to pre-order! Just corrected that error :) Good price on it too.

Im hoping so *crosses fingers*

I always thought they look awesome since the first leaked set pics. :D

These are amazing.

Damn, splinter looks awesome! At least they got one character right.

Looks like concept art PD splinter isn't having a top knot, or as protruding Fu Man Shu facial hair, bit hard to tell in the picture.

He seriously looks just like a more detailed image of 2003 Splinter in that image. It's a shame they didn't go with that design.

Yeah, comparing the art to the toy, it seems they are very different designs then just copy paste extra hair bits. But that movie toy looks atrocious, guess well see for sure then the new trailer hits, the Kappa said in a diplomatic tone.

I like the Splinter shown here as opposed to the new Splinter (although I like him too).

Looks great to me!

Wish I could read the text! I bet it talks about the plot

Maybe we can...

I wish Splinter looked like that in the movie :/

Agree i love the concepts and think they look great cant wait to get my copy of this book
Its a review copy so i would say no they gave it to him to review

Its the TMNT: ultimate Visual History Link above
Yup
definitely
Yup Me to i was so giddy when i preordered it yesterday

im actually surprise they included anything seeing as they are Neck deep into Post production obviously why there are no "still" of the turtles just concepts which is still great

Agreed i like the little extra touches they added to the new splinter ala the kimono and hakama pants and the top knot

sure does

COme june we can ^_^ As for now the best quality video i got was 780p so the images aren't great

Should have water marked them when i created them just got to excited i guess lol

But if i got a larger quality maybe we could make some out like we did for the script part.

Isn't there like an edit program that could magnify it and clean it up or something? I saw that it was done with that Shredder picture. It wasn't that visual when I saw it before.

Meh, still look meh. Can't decide if the clothes or face change is what really puts me off more, to be honest. I'm still unclear on Raph in that photo though. His plastron looks to be gray/black. Not sure why as it clearly isn't in the trailer.

However, you are indeed correct. That picture of Leo's face is from the maquette and that Raphael is also the maquette. Too bad they don't have pictures of all the maquettes from front/side/back. Despite thinking they look pretty bleh and despite hating their clothes the statues STILL looked pretty damn cool. I'd like to see them in full.

No way in hell I'd shell out $250 a piece for them. These movie turtles will NEVER EEEEEEEEEEEEEVER stand up to the tried and true comic maquettes. ;)

Though it would be interesting if the movie maquettes special edition version came with more comic inspired heads to swap to which you prefer (the original maquettes heads could be swapped for colored vs red bandannas. Raph's special edition was an alternative hand holding the sai to throw with the challenge note wrapped around it). Though that would mean sculpting two heads for each, not a recolor bandannas. Still, it would be a way to make more happy...though with those always being limited runs, I'm sure they'd sell out without such cross-fanbase appeal.

This is also all assuming/speculating that they would produce said maquettes for release in the first place.

He does look awesome, but that picture isn't what they went with. :/

I don't think that that exists yet if you watch it in HD it's almost readable you can make out some words someone with a bigger monitor may be able to read some of it, i also sent a pm to the owner of the video, maybe he'll tell us something...

Hard to tell for sure on that picture wearing the Shredder glove, but it looks different than the concept art. Extremely different.

Makes me wonder if they ARE going with that being an artifact from Oroku Saki's time in feudal Japan while Fichtner has a modernized tech-based Shredder suit.

Maybe, Maybe that's the rest of the suit behind him...

I was thinking the same thing yesterday, actually. Unfortunately yesterday was a difficult time for any sort of serious discussion.

Man i wish splinter looked like that.... so good.

I agree. Perhaps he has artifacts of Saki's. Like the helmet, etc. Most of it looks like something a samurai would wear in the past. Some of the suit looks very old and unusual for something that you could create today. If I had to guess, he incorporates the artifacts into the tech-suit.

That really doesn't look modern. It looks like some guy made it with metal from a junkyard.

that splinter concept art makes me sad. it gives me the impression they might've been headed in a more subtle direction at one point before someone stepped in and decided to turn everything up to 11

I wonder who?
And now we know that splinter came from lab, so i ask you then, where does japanese features come from, why does he have a japanese mustache and hair?

I mean i like the Pai Mei look

But it still doesen't make sense...
If splinter mutated with mustache and hair, why didn't the turtles? They are teanagers, they should have facial hair...

That's what bugs me most about the Splinter design. It's just so ridiculously convenient that Splinter's mutation gave him just the right sprouts of hair to grow a top knot and Fu Manchu 'stache.

that's funny you posted that pic because I was just imagining one of the higher ups looking at the concept design on saying " nope not stereotypical enough. I want this guy to look like every old wise martial arts dude you've ever seen in every movie ever. go watch part 2 of kill bill and go from there."

IDW Kevin says the movie has heavy ties into tmnt current mythos that includes IDW, SPlinter and the turtle are lab animals at STOCKGEN, which aprils father works at to create the Ooze Sound familiar?

Yup not like they didnt take from the source or nothing -_^

Am, artistic interpretation? That's his fur that's shaped like a wise old man beard, he doesen't have full human hair there...

are you talking about the movie or the comics because in the comics Aprils father did not create the ooze. he was only a research scientist studying it before he had some kind of accident. the ooze had been around for a very long time before than and came from the ultrom homeworld. also has it been confirmed he creates the ooze in the movie. apparently he was working with sachs to "create heros" but I don't think what he actually did has been revealed yet.

He was "involved" with the ooze
A tie they left in the movie, whether or not what shredder says is true, which many see to think its is. there are ties to many different sources being used through out this movie Just from the trailers alone.

First of all, not a top knot in any one of those. That's nowhere near as pronounced and deliberate as the film's design. Second of all, I wouldn't say it even works all the time when other mediums do it. The NickTurtles Splinter have him this long ass chin sprout, and I think it looks pretty ridiculous.

Human Hair? Ok. hes got just enough to make a small topknot not a flowing mane lol you say artistic interpretation that all this movie is one artist interpretation except i would go as far as saying several artist interpretation so why does it matter?

It was just a referance he has a fu man shu mustache in several version so its not like they were trying to make him look more stereo typical, If anything they were further representing his Japanese Background by giving him a top knot a thing of Honor Samurai and Ninja wore as a badges

There's a thin line between making someting look good and going so overboard that it becomes a caricature, i think that this movie crossed that line...

Yeah your right its much more exaggerated in the movie version :trolleye:
