eyes with pupils
 
so based on some of the character sheets of the turtles it looks like in Back to the Sewers the turtles are going to have pupils showing through their masks instead of the irisless white eyes like in past seasons.

Now whether this is going to be set in stone or if these are still just in the concept stages I don't know. But it's diffrent and actually I'm finding my self warming up to the idea of the turtles having their pupils showing with their masks on, and it looks like they even have diffrent shades of eye color. So what does ever one think are you opposed to this possiable change or do you think it's not bad?

I do not mind. In fact, I wish the 2k3 Turtles had always had pupils.

I really like it. Just seems to give them more character

PipingPringle 05-23-2008 06:33 AM

I'm all for them having pupils. However, I do hope they switch back sometimes to none. Like in night scenes perhaps.

I don't hate it, but I think I prefer it the other way. I liked how it was a "rule" that if they wore the mask, there would be no pupils, but as soon as the mask was removed they did. I guess they're doing it this way now to tie in with the new movie, and while that makes since, I still miss the old way.

They do look good though.

I don't care for it myself. I, too, liked how you saw their eyes when they were maskless.

Mike looks rather-- young and featureless.

I didn't like them in the beginning with their pupils showing, but I'm getting used to it. I would prefer it though if you could only see their pupils if they get up really close to an enemy. So if a foot ninja would see the pupils in the turtle's eyes it would already be to late for him :D

Jesus, that looks nasty. I bet Laird isn't happy, either.

I like them, but I grew up on the '87 toon where they all had pupils. I'm just hoping we don't see any stupid anime expressions.

I agree with that "rule". It made sense and was a bit more cooler and darker. Murph or Dan did say that they were adding the pupils to tie into the movie and marketing and such

I love how they look with pupils, but they also look cool without them and for consistency I would have liked them to not have them until they revived the turtles again for a new toon 15 years from now ;D

Jelly Bean 05-24-2008 12:38 AM

I don't mind I liked being able to see the eyes on the turtles in the movies so I think this could be a good change. Although why do they all have green eyes? :-?

Dan 05-24-2008 02:10 AM

They could have them lose the puplis when they enter the virtual world.

Jelly Bean 05-25-2008 12:56 PM

Some one else mentioned this but I wouldn't mind if they have it where the turtles eyes are showing when they have close up shots and then just white when they are in the dark or far away. I think that would be pretty wicked.

Buslady 05-25-2008 08:18 PM

gah what awful designs. the plastron only covers a small percentage of their front when it should be covering the WHOLE front. The eyes do look funny. Mikey looks like a dolt the poor thing. im afraid to see raph. *hides eyes*

thebrownranger 05-25-2008 08:27 PM

I prefer the original white slits.

Coola Yagami 05-25-2008 09:01 PM

I just hope they stick with continuity and whenever they show '2K3' or 'FF' flashbacks they don't draw the TMNT still with their pupils.


I just noticed.... Mikey is around the same size as Leo and Don. No more shrimpy-Mikey.

CyberCubed 05-25-2008 11:09 PM

I think the pupils look great. I can't wait to see them in motion.

While the animation is more streamlined and won't look as good as Seasons 1-5 did, the designs themselves are pretty nice.

VaughnMichael 05-25-2008 11:42 PM

ra raa rawr bitch bitch bitch whine whine whine, and this is only the designs.
I can't wait for the show to start this fall.

I agree. It was probably the one thing that pissed the hell out of me when watching the 2k3 toon. This will be a welcome change! And it would be so cool if they would have the Turtles have different eye colors too!
