TMNT IRL - How would the Turtles look in real life?
 

Hello everybody!

I like to start a thread for all the things you find about real life turtles. And hope you help me!
That's the first you found when you google it:

And here are some artworks from David Rapoza (convince me not so - what do you think?)...
Donatello:

Leonardo:

Michelangelo:

Raffael:

And here some pics that I got from the forums:

That looks very far-fetched:

All in all they probably would more look like that:

So what do you think about that? I hope you have more of this stuff!
Thak you for all your answers!!!

Terrifying. Turtles are horribly ugly creatures.

Turtle-like, probably.


But... not necessarily.

Didn't we just do this?

They'd look like they did in the first movie, of course. =p

My thoughts exactly

Turtles have very different proportions:

So the question ist: Would they more like turtles or more like humans?

And here is another pic:

I really don't like Rapoza's Turtles besides Raphael. I used to like his Donny, until I got over the fact that it was just because Don's my favorite. They're nasty looking.

In my honest opinion, I would echo the statement "like they did in the first movie" - or if somebody created a life-like sketch or drawing of E & L's early (first few issues) Turtles.

I don't mind that first picture, that's a pretty old shot by now, but I still think it's relevant.

Creepy. I'd like them I like them better with pupils.

I'm all for this. I've always been a huge fan of how the turtles looked in the first movie. It was nice that they all had their own features that made them unique (which is quite understandable for a movie adaptation).

It'd be interesting to see the first movie done with some sort of color-swap so all the turtles have red bandanas.

I want to rescue the draw in this thread:

Also a lot of people dont like this ones..., Tho. In my opinion those are great Fan-Art about turtles realistic-look (for a mutant-humanoid-turtle...) :lol: !:

And Welcome to the Drome!!!

^^ I have to say, that's pretty interesting! I don't mind it as much as some people might.

I like the way Leonardo looks in Luzmajica's post, but Raphael feels off to me. Maybe it's the dark shell? Or that I always picture Raph as being the most muscular of the group and this Raph seems kinda slim.

Farley's cover for the Mirage Collected Book 2 trade's always been my go-to for what I'd imagine they'd look like in real life.

When I read the title of this thread, my first though was to just post a picture of one of those covers.

Yeah, I agree. Leo looks great in that picuture. Raph looks like, well, a female. Though I have to say, I love his spiked wristband he's wearing.:tsmile:
