Custom Retro TMNT 2012 Packaging - make sense?

TheMasterTurtle · 07-01-2013, 07:10 PM

I dont know why the idea came to me one night a few months ago but this is a project I have had going on and off since March that I was able to complete today. I took the vintage look and feel and merged it with the Nick Turtle packaging. Have a look and let me know what you think. All the art work was drawn by hand or digitally and all coloring happened digitally.

Here is a shot of MOC Mikey next to my printed redesign so you can all see what I did before the bubble was attached.

Here is the bubble attached

Here is a shot so you can compare the posing I drew versus what was on the original packaging..

Spoiler:

A close up of the logo designed to meet the retro look but keep the sleek font we have all see from Nick. Going retro I also felt it was necessary to bust out one of the old Nick logos from the early 90s

Spoiler:

Another shot of the front

Spoiler:

And some close up of the side artwork - I wanted to really mesh the designs here and think I did an alright job with it.

Spoiler:

and just for fun here is a test shot as I was redoing the insert..

Enjoy!

I like it...step up.

Jeez that's pretty cool. Looks fairly authentic too. Kinda makes me wish I had saved my packaging.

*Powder* · 07-01-2013, 07:16 PM

Coolest thing I've seen all week! You should post templates so others could do the same.

*snake* · 07-01-2013, 07:28 PM

Cool! Nice work! I'd love to make my own.

*The Boston Ninja Turtle* · 07-01-2013, 07:52 PM

Wicked awesome!!!

I especially like the logo on the retro box!

*frank_one* · 07-01-2013, 09:10 PM

You did a wonderful work with that side artwork, you perfectly emulated the old packages design of the Turtles. Congratulations.

I'd probably get banned for using the words I want to describe your work....so I'll just say this is freakin' sweet. You nailed it....

Lord Nightwalker · 07-01-2013, 09:43 PM

*Drose18* · 07-01-2013, 11:58 PM

AWEsoME someone should do this with the 2k3 packaging i liked those

*I Crave Pizza No More* · 07-02-2013, 12:19 AM

Nice job. Everything looks fantastic, and I think you nailed the perfect balance between the two themes.

joefsas · 07-02-2013, 02:52 AM

That's insane dude! Love it

astig · 07-02-2013, 03:24 AM

haha! this is freakin' awesome! you really captured the look and style of the old packaging. really nice work!

*Whatswiththeheadbands?* · 07-02-2013, 07:20 AM

i actually prefer this retro look for the 2012 line. it makes it somehow stand out more

TVsRobLowe · 07-02-2013, 09:48 AM

Looks great. If anything, I'd make the name a bit larger. Having the turtle shell right behind it and so large steals the focus from the text, when it should probably be the other way around.
