TMNT Redesign Challenge #1 - Splinter

http://img202.imageshack.us/img202/8857/redesign.jpg

Inspired in other forums that I´m part in, I searched for it in The Technodrome and found noting like it. So I´m willing to start one Redesign Challenge.

We can start with Master Splinter:

Quote:

Master Splinter, or simply Splinter is a fictional character in the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles universe. Splinter is a giant anthropomorphic rat who is the master and adopted father of the Ninja Turtles.

Splinter has two origin stories, and which one is used depends on the medium. In the original version of the tale, he was Hamato Yoshi's pet, and in the other, he is Hamato Yoshi.

Extensive info for inspiration can be found here: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Splinte...nja_Turtles%29

Rules:

All people who choose to participate will have two weeks to come up with a redesign for the given character. You can use any medium you wish. You can sketch, paint make a 3-D model, make a sprite, make a custom action figure, whatever you want. Its entirely up to you!

As well, you don't have to force yourself to make your design conform to any new or old cartoon or comic book's style. Be as drastic in your redesign as you see fit. Whatever makes you happy.

If you can't think of a new design, or just hate the idea of working on this character, you do not have to feel obligated to participate in this particular challenge. You will still be free to participate in any future challenges you wish.

End Date: 20th January 2010.

Sounds interesting: I'm in. :)

I'm totally doing this. Is this like a prizeless contest or just a way to share ideas?

No price, just a fan challenge to share ideas, after day 20 I will start a poll with all the art submitted and we can vote on our favorite, just for the fun :)

If you want you can see this thread were my fellow "orgers" do the same challenge but about MOTU,

the challenge: Motu Redesign challenge #92 - EVIL Mutant Comet Warriors!

the poll: Vote for the best Evil Mutant Comet Warriors!

Hope we can get much fun from this :)

This sound extremely fun! I wouldn't mind trying this in my freetime.

im starting mine later

@Buffy
@Powder
@Drawsher
@kev trashcan

Thanks for your replies and support, I´m wiling to see your works :)
Hope more members join our challenge. :D

---edit---

I´ve added a poll so we can chose the next character to redesign.
I go for April...

Here's mine. I decided to make him look more like a real rat in japanese clothing with scabbards rather then a mutant. Hey, it's only for fun right? :D

My favorite part is that he have weapons :)

Pretty nice pic!
I like those rodent-teeth!!, ....but only no idea how much high you design him! ....maybe you can draw something like reference!!! more or less than a standar-human size???...

That drawing looks pretty cool. You make me want to get started on mine now! lol

So how is it going? I don´t reveal mine until day 19 :D

Foot Soldier is winning until now... I would like to try April... I like to draw girls :evilgrin:

I would much rather draw a foot soldier then april. I'm not a big fan of drawing chicks, or humans in general. It kinda bores me. My vote had gone to bebop. He's a favorite of mine. :D

Amazing work Powder!
