What do you think the turtles will look like? - Page 6

DONATELLO DUZMACHINES · 08-15-2013, 02:49 PM

I would prefer smaller turtles. Personally I just like the look more especially when It comes to action scenes where they're showcasing their agility. I would like to see something close to Santolouco's design.

If they were just there to get their voices, these little boxes would have been painted matte gray or black.

And the colored headbands with the white squares, are where the tops of the headbands start.

I believe they are actually cameras capturing the articulation of the actors mouths, rather than reference points. As for the squares on their suits, I think they are just strategically placed in the best places for point of reference. I don't think they will represent where any features will lay.
I personally think that the "undercover Raph" photos are more telling of the intended physique of the characters. Raph is tall, seemingly muscular and to me it looks like he has a small head. But until I see the full designs I won't be able to tell if it looks out of proportion to me. Fingers crossed they look great..

Yes, I will wait and see before I pass judgement.

So I was talking to Craig Farley and he e-mailed me an image of a humanoid turtle that a guy by the name of Ben Regimbal did. I think this looks a little too turtle-like but it sure is a beautiful piece of work.

I've heard that suggested before. It sounds plausible but I hope it's wrong. Unlike other motion capture characters like Gollum, Caesar and King Kong the turtles faces arn't remotely human.

It would just look weird with human-esque mouths and eyes. Kind of like one of the early movie pitches to Eastman and Laird that had the turtles being played by comediens in rubber suits with the human heads sticking out and painted green.

*Wildcat* · 08-17-2013, 02:31 AM

I don't know. Maybe similar to the first 3 live action ones but without looking like a suite obviously.

I hope not like those ultra realistic turtle/humanoids. Those things are ugly and scary looking. They're mutants so a good mix of turtle and humanizing. Not just a turtle walking upright like some of these concepts.

I'm ok with them being taller. I'm thinking the "more human" look might be similar to the video game that's coming out. For some reason, that's the very first thing that came to my mind. I'd be ok with that.

I'm sure the TMNT themselves will look pretty good; they've been done a lot of different ways, I'm sure the people making it have an idea of what's "acceptable". I'd hope.

I don't think it is to just "paste" their faces onto the turtles, but more to be able to closely monitor the facial articulations.

TMNT is cooler than MOTU · 08-17-2013, 02:35 PM

Expect to see much more clothing/armor on the Turtles this time around.

Jussayin'...

I take it you are one of the lucky ones to have seen the designs of the turtles?!

Someone was saying their friend had seen some toys from the movie and they were wearing some clothing/armour (bamboo armour I think).

*Slap-Happy* · 08-17-2013, 07:12 PM

Where's that source?

I wouldnt use the Toys as a source because often, The Toys would have weapons and armor not seen from the show or movies. They just give them more weapons to make the toys look cooler.

Or release 27 variants of Movie Batman...

Seriously Batman, Iron Man, Spider-man...all have about 20 figures and maybe 1 is actually screen accurate.

One would think but apparently not. I'm dying to see what they look like.

I hate the video game designs. Im a pretty optimistic/see the good kinda person. Rarely does something turn me off completely without a proper chance but everytime I see those I cringe.

Their heads and faces dont look like turtles. They look like aliens or humans that were deformed.

Was is it so hard to use a turtle shaped head?

That looks pretty cool. It's an interesting interpretation for sure.

I think if they take that model and knock the bulkiness down a bit, give him more of a traditional plastron, simplify the face a bit, and give him his traditional gear maybe then that's something I could live with.

Hey guys! Long time lurker here and finally decided to sign up. Anywho this is what I think the turtles will look like...

Reports of the Turtles being more "humanoid" so I am thinking something like this...

I for one am hoping each turtle will have a unique look, a look of their own since they are individuals. Something like this...

I just hope we get a look at the turtles soon.
