Santolouco's Nick influenced TMNT designs

[oldmanwinters]

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.

From Mateus Santolouco:

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.
Nickelodeon asked for subtle changes but no big deal so, the changes will show up on next studies or directly in the books.
Originally I wanted to make them even smaller compared to humans and with more contrastant heights between themselves (I may post these studies later). But you can't win them all, and I'm happy with the consensus we got to.

I've been trying new stuff for a while now (new for me - how I used to draw them), mixing elements I like of other people's turtles.
