Santolouco's Nick influenced TMNT designs
EDIT: Bobby Curnow confirmed that these were designs are NOT related to a future IDW comic series inspired by the Nick cartoon. Thus, I have changed the thread from its original title. My bad, folks.

What is that??????????? They look UUUUUUUUUUUGLY
|
Those designs look nothing like the Nick Turtles. And what's up with April, is that supposed to be Nick's teen April?
I can't see any kid who loves the cartoon looking a this and thinking its the same. |
I'm confused. Is this for the Rise of the Foot mini-series he's writing and drawing? He said it was for IDW's TMNT, not Nick's. I thought the Nick Cartoon comics haven't been confirmed yet?
|
Looks like fan art gone bad.
|
well it's only concept art... really means nothing

I really like his Turtle designs. I'm on the fence with the April. I think the outfit is a cool shout-out to the Nick show, but those black leggings would strike me a fashion disaster in real-life!

The April & TMNT designs really do seem indebted to the Nick show, so it's hard to imagine character designs like these showing up in the IDW ongoing series, even if it is just a mini-series. I suppose we need some more info. I also change the title of this thread to be more of question than an indicative statement of fact. :-) |
April looks way too much like Nick TMNT April for my taste (and there's the obnoxious multi-colored pupils from the Nick show too) and... really... she's got a yellow shirt? C'mon. And there's Dude Mikey™ standing there with the "Pizza!" quip, completing the utter eyeball rollingness of the piece.
|
I'm digging a lot of things the concept art is presenting, especially on April. And I love the pouches for Mikey's chucks
|
I actually think this looks good. Really digging the designs for the turtles and April.

I kinda love these designs as well. An interesting take on the nick turtles. Then again, I seem to be much more accepting of change (read as artistic license) than your average turtle comic fan.

Then again, those turtles and April look a little too much like the Nick's turtles to not for a comic based on them. And underneath he posts an unofficial pic for the Secret History of the Foot which admittedly looks totally different, edgier and more in line with IDW's TMNT than the initial model sheet. Still confused... |
This is concept work for the Secret History of the Foot Clan... why does anyone think it has to do with the Nick toon? I don't see anything in the link that would indicate that... in the link he says:
"Hey y'all! This is more or less how these guys, and April, are going to look on the new mini-series I'm writing and will be drawing for IDW's TMNT." |

Ha, I didn't even think about that, you're right.
|
Yeah, it was definitely the strong Nick toon influence that threw people off, I think. Also, the unofficial piece he has linked at the bottom of the description looks totally different than this one, and seemed more likely to be the IDW of the two based on style.
|
There's no getting past it being heavily influenced by the Nick TMNT. The very different body types, faces, different colored pupils... and then we have April over there who looks like she walked off the "set" of the cartoon.
