Nick TMNT eye colors - Page 2

I'm totally satisfied with the eye color choices, although I will say I've never cared for Raph's ooze-green eyes.

They are slightly red, but they look more brown to me. Either way, if he was an Eastern Box Turtle he'd have red eyes 'cause he's a male.

He said in some pictures the green eyes make him look a little feminine. That's not the same as what you're accusing him of.

I wouldn't say they look girly, but I would say they are overly bright and stand out as a kind of...well, "why?"

...OK? Who's accusing who? All I said was green eyes aren't just for girls.

I'm fine with the eye colors. An odd thing that MIGHT be cool if the turtle's eye color matched their headbands.

I'd rather the eyes not match their headbands.

Raph's eye color could be darker IMO but green is fine.

What bugs me is Leo's eye color being so similar to his mask and blending too much. IMO he should have a different color of eyes. But more natural colors would be fine. Say Leo and Don both have brown eyes of different hues and Mike and Raph have blue or green eyes of different hues.

Though I do think the eyes speak toward their personalities.

I don't tend to analyze these things but these are my thoughts on them.

The baby blue for Mikey is so innocent while in the case of Leonardo it might speak to his strive for being a "good boy". Donatello's brown is more warm though he will have an attitude in this one he'll still be the most grounded of the turtles I imagine. While Raphaels piercing green eyes speak toward jealousy and/or his brashness.

I don't particularly like Mike's eye color, and I don't believe he should have to be "baby" anything either..

Ninja Tiptup · 09-12-2012, 07:18 PM

I guess they just figure making Mikey the most child-like was a good fit but I agree, Michelangelo has always been my favorite turtle and they could stand to interpret him as less of a "annoying little brother" type character. Then we'd have less episodes like the one titled "What is Michelangelo Good For?"

Jeebus, Raph's eyes really are fluorescent green.

As far as the eye situation goes, however, are the iris/pupils just going to randomly flicker in and out of existence like in some of the trailers?

That happens only during the fight scenes.

and "Ninja Time" scenes, if we go by the animation test where Raphael comes out of the shadows

I feel like their referencing the old comics with leo and mikey's red handles on their weapons, Raph's red mask and donnie's reddish brown eyes.

That's straw grasping at best, but sure
