i dont know if i agree with this..he looked fine except the head design was a Goomba IMO im not agaisnt the face he just looked funny

remember the turtles face is what is going to sell the design on people



if the turtles look that way in style of CGI im ok with it , just like someone said if they use Hulk tech then awesome

That image is years old, so I'mma say no.

Yeah the Goomba looks nothing like the lizard aside from the fact that they are reptiles, doesn't matter if you put 2 pictures beside each other.

I'm not talking about the designs really. I have faith in the designs. Anyone can make a good looking model, but to make it look real when compositing into live action is something else. I hope they're really detailed, textured models when seen up close. Lighting and rigging are what make CGI look believable ontop of the models themselves. Even big titles from Snyder, Torro, etc have real fun, cool looking CGI, but it doesn't hit that level of realism. I don't want to think when I'm watching it, "That didn't look real". Like what was said,

"Man of Steel" was about as good as you can do at integrating CGI with real-life actors and settings, and it's STILL really obvious when they "swap in" the CGI characters. Even on a very subtle level, it's still jarring to the eye and there's a moment of disassociation when your eye tells your brain that what you're watching isn't real, and it takes you out of things, even for a second, even when you're not trying to let that happen.

while you personally may not see it alot of people did and that turned them off to the Lizard in AMS, people see what they see not everyone sees it the same

If you want to find the pic read spoiler.

Spoiler:

Simply google search under image "TMNT 2014 Movie art" Row 19, second from the right.

I did not provide a link, bc of all the recent trouble I have simply told everyone how to find it.

They look like they are gonna be huge, from what I saw in set shots where Raphael is in the trench coat? Like come on these are turtles still, even in the original 1990 film Raphael was human sized and the turtles seemed to be humanoid. These strange sizes make me believe they are going with the whole space creature thing or animals from Dimension X. Also guys I wrote a blog about the top 10 reasons why this movie might be a failure.

We just got our first look at the new model for Optimus Prime so fingers crossed we see something by Christmas!

Thanks for this!

[Welmanshire]

I would be happy with something like this sculpt a guy is dong over on the rpf -

[Shark_Blade]

That's a nice sculpt but that's like wrinkly golden age turtles as oppose to teenage turtles...

[Powder]

More like a turtle that actually has the skin of a turtle.

[halperin]

i think the turtles looked the most realistic in the first, and more cartoonish in 2nd and even more in 3rd. any 1 agree?

Wow, this is really impressive stuff! If we're fortunate to get something along the lines of this, the designs will be one of the few positive aspects of this movie.

That's a pretty good design.

I could get on board with that

[Blossombrooks]

I kinda like that too, it's realistic but not overdone.

[bridgegrn]

Definitely plays up the creature aspect but doesn't make him seem too monstrous.
