Nick TMNT eye colors
 
http://i.imgur.com/d5r6J.png

Leo and Mike both have blue eyes, though a slightly different shade. They could have made each turtle have different colors, but they didn't. Why do you think that is?

I guess making their eyes a different color would have been too easy. In reality it's very common for people to share eye colors, especially relatives.

What really interests me though are Raph and Don's eyes.

Green eyes looks kind of strange on a turtle at first. But I wouldn't change it. They are rather striking once you get used to it!

Don's red eyes are the strangest to me. But turtles have red eyes all the time.

What do you think of the colors? Do you think they fit each turtle? Anything you would change?

I like the eyes, they're unique and that's a good thing. If I were to change anything I'd give Leo brown eyes.

Don's eyes are brown...

Lethal Lullaby 09-09-2012 12:13 AM

I like their eyes. Especially Raph's. :)

Well, that would make more sense. I guess the color is really off on my monitor. Reddish-brown?

I agree that on my monitor Don's eyes look more red than brown. I personally prefer thinking of them that way, whether it's true or not. Gives him a bit more of an edge I think he's sometimes lacking. If I were to give any one of them a truer, softer brown it would be Leo. I like preserving blue for Mikey. I like the green for Raph, suits him quite well, though I also like him with a more yellow-green as I've sometimes seen him portrayed with.

Don's eyes do have some slight red in them, its not your monitor.

The eyes are one of my favorite things about their new look. I'm probably the only one that thinks this, and it really doesn't bother me, but in some pictures/poses I think the green eyes make Raph look a little feminine.

I really like the eye colors, though I probably would give Leo hazel eyes instead. But I can live with the dark blue.

TurtleTitan97 09-09-2012 11:19 AM

I think the eye colors are fine.

Scud 09-09-2012 10:05 PM

I like them, adds a little more personality to each character. And since it's CGI, why not?

Zany Orange Dude 09-10-2012 09:11 AM

I like the eye colors. I think they suit the characters well.

Rooish 09-10-2012 09:16 AM

I like the character designs, including the eye colours, but do think it's weird that each brother has different colour eyes--isn't eye colour hereditary?

I liked that the Turtles all had brown eyes in the old movies. Made them look warmer.

pannoni1 09-10-2012 09:23 AM

I would make Leo's eyes black, since that represents boldness and many Asian masters have black eyes. Also being the leader, it shows what all the other Turtles had in previous incarnations had- black eyes.

Mike having blue eyes is just right being the coolest color of all eyes that nicely supports the coolest Turtles.

I'd make Donatello's eyes brown, since that seems to represent intelligence.

Raphael's eyes are a bit too bright, looking more like a villain's shade of green. I'd make it more or a hazel color, much like April in the 4kids series.

Vivi 09-10-2012 09:26 AM

A little fan-fictiony, but I get why they did it. The colour designation is what I'd expect.

I don't know if there is eye colour variation in red-eared sliders, but they're mutants so they get a pass on everything.

Loudo 09-10-2012 09:43 AM

Personally I preferred the eye colors in the 2007 movie.
I don't love Raph's green eyes, and I think Leonardo with blue eyes is overkill. :D

But I can live with their new colors.

shezcrafti 09-10-2012 01:42 PM

I'd have liked Raph's eyes better as dark brown or almost-black, but I'm not stressing over a simple thing like eye color. If anything it just adds more interest.

Here's another femme Raph:

Re-colored. Much better!

This is dumb. Green eyes aren't female exclusive.

Candy Kappa 09-10-2012 03:45 PM

Red Bandanna equals Ginger, green eyes equals female ginger!

I base this off... Mary Jane in Spider-Man, revel in my mastery of science!
