Sounds like Nick is moving forward... Always good to hear!

Awesome, we gotta real fan behind the show :)

This doesn't guarantee the show will be great since he's not a writer, but still great news.

Is it sad that I had to click the article before I had ANY clue who this guy was? ^_^;

At any rate, I agree with Nines - having an old-time fan on board with the production in any way is a good thing. It's at least cool that it's a dream come true for the man.

Am I the only one who saw this coming 5 million miles away?
Its good news to me though, provided he has any creative influence on the character designs.
I am a fan of his work.

I think most did expect this but it's nice to hear it somewhat officially...

Who is this guy? Anyway, I'm not too big on the way he exaggerates his drawings. I hope the new show isn't like that.

You can see his designs for Krang/Beebop/Rocksteady/Casey Jones/Donatello/Mikey/Raph&Shredder on his website.

Beebop
Rocksteady
Krang
Mikey
Donatello
Raph/Shredder
Casey Jones
April ;)

Can't say I like his designs too much but I also don't hate them, i kinda did at first but they already grew on me a bit. Its obvious those are NOT the designs for the new cartoon but if you look through his blog THAT is pretty much his style is so expect the new cartoon to look similar like those examples above. Those designs do look like they'd work for CG.

You can tell he is a big fan of the turtles from his past posts from previous years, went all the way to the first blog post...And wow this news is from July 31st how is it that took so long to get out? Internet detectives are disappointing us ;)

Yeah I am curious who is he? I have heard of him b4 from powder drooling over him, but who is he?

And it looks safe to say that krang will be in the new cartoon! Yes!

Not the first time I've seen you be negative around here...

I like most of the drawings except for April. She just seems IDK, she just looks weird... I do love the Raph drawing though really top notch

Oh thank goodness, I'm not the only one. I just don't really like his style, which is the thing I love and adore from cartoons, the art. I could actually sit through a cartoon with bad writing if the designs for the characters are good.

This is just his personal style... it doesn't indicate what the show will look like at all.

Alright, thanks ToTheNines.

But how is this news really then?

Dude, what the f*ck?

A member of this board, a huge fan, is now part of the show.

How is that NOT news?!

Bebop, Krang, and April look horrible. Everything else looks fine. Just hope it turns out really good.

Settle down, P-Owder. I like his personal style, but it's not what I'd want to see as a reflection of the new CGI show. And, you've got me curious now. Which one of you talented artists is Alex Deligiannis? Big congratz to you, wherever you might be lurking about. :tthumbsu:

P.S. - The joke's gone far enough. That character is NOT April.

What Powder said. Plus regardless of the direction Nick wants to take, Alex's work on the show will at least have a hint of his own personal style like we see here.

Older I get, the more stylized I like my animation.
Alex's designs are great, and I'm looking forward to having that voice on the decision-making board.
Congrats Alex!

I LOVE his style. I look forward to seeing what happens .

Here's his profile Toon.

I really like how Casey and the turtles look, but I agree April looks horrible.
