So much better. It's a shame the Turtles didn't look more like this.

Donnie looks good, Splinter's cool except for the long ass skeletal arms & huge hands. The rest is wack. I've hated pretty much everything TMNT this guy has done.

Sabacooza 01-03-2015 09:37 PM

I could've went for this. He actually looks more youthful. It always amazes me how they turn the concepts down that actually made sense and looked good in favor of something that misses the mark.

Besides splinters arms and Raphs whatever the hell that is, these look good.

Sabacooza 01-03-2015 09:47 PM

Raph actually looks pretty cool but yeah, those spikes are really funky.

Purse Grabbin Puke 01-03-2015 09:52 PM

These look a little too much like aliens...and Splinter's face is too shmushed in, I prefer a longer snout on Splinter. The more I watch the new movie, the more I start to like some of the small things they did in the design for the turtles. But that photoshop edit of 2014 movie Leo with the more oldschool Turtle design is by far the best look.

The countdown to a closed thread is on! :lol:

The thing that bothers me most about all the concept art, is that the scales and details are random, and odd. The nostils are odd, and the overall impression is of a flintstone dinosaur in it's proportions. This version has a youthful vibe, which I do prefer, but again looks like a cartoon, and if you're going to do a cartoon, it should look cool. I prefer this, personally, if it's not going to be realistic.

Krang looks derivative, and forgettable.
Rocksteady looks like doomsday from smallvile. Not a compliment.

Looks like he pulled the Krang and B&R designs...not a good sign.

Leo's mouth looks like he's wearing one of those ape masks from POTA

Here are the other concept art of Krang and Bebop and Rocksteady, I can't find these images anywhere else for some reason, Comicbookmovie had to take down some images, I wonder if it were these.

Why rocksteady has spikes on his shoulders, is beyond me.

Rhino's don't have shoulder spikes.

would not surprise me if B&R are closer to those designs in TMNT 2

Yep, but likely bulkier, and more human.

The antithesis of what fans want.

Lol at Goro Krang.

Proof the blue door script was very real, aliens and all.

My real question is, if I can easily pick apart these designs, then what the f is going through the producers minds? Who can't see how terrible these all look! Ugly is ugly, no matter where you live.

Galactus 01-03-2015 10:32 PM

Those look better than we got in the sense that anything that resembles the standard TMNT works better for me...apart from Raphael. Seriously WTF:o I couldn't imagine watching that for even the short period of screen time the characters. It actually makes the hulking version of Raphael paletteable. I don't understand why all these designs seem to drastically set Raph apart then again I don't understand why they want such drastic redesigns in the first place.

Bebop and Rocksteady look okay (are they by the same artist) although I prefer the other concept art we saw of them. As someone else on here mentioned you don't really see punks dress like they do anymore and I can only imagine how ridiculous human actors would look in that garb if they wanted to portray them pre-mutation. I'd say have them more like regular thugs and maybe post mutation have them more the standard Bebop & Rocksteady ala the other concept art we saw inspired by the Fred Wolf show if they are really desperate to go down that rout.

The first two are f*ckin perfect. But you know the other two will be closer to what we'll wind up getting... :ohwell: Werewolf Bebop Fresh Out Of Prison looks like nightmare fuel. That Rocksteady is too spike-heavy but would look great with clothes & guns. That Krang is AWESOME & really hits home how somewhere in the next four years, we're gonna have Krang in a movie.

IndigoErth 01-03-2015 10:37 PM

Came across those, including the Krang stuff. The Krang designs are kinda wild. o.O They do look younger, but have to agree with the sentiment though that the Turtles look kinda alien.

I can't remember if it was here or elsewhere that I'd seen a comment pointing out how the Turtles looks went quite human, yet Splinter...not at all. And then soon after I saw that Splinter art.

That Raph would probably be super grouchy, that skin does not look fun to live in. lol

I have to be honest, as Bebop and Rocksteady aren't characters I'm too attached to, I do look forward to seeing how that turns out and what kind of approval or uproar happens...

It may not be common in American suburbs, but you can easily find punks in New York still.
Not everyone is a hipster these days :)

Sorry dude, but just looking at those images side by side further proves my point.

Just a mess of lazy painting. None of this art is exciting, more like drab and lifeless.
