Pulverizer (Mutated) Concept Art

*Papenbrook* · 06-22-2014, 01:41 AM

I know it is a bit late for this, but an artist just released concept art of Mutagen Man.

Anyway, the artist just released concept art of Timothy titled "Mutagen Man Roughs".

You can find it on josegaribaldi.tumblr.com.

Thats pretty sweet.

Thank you.

In my opinion, I think the concept art is scary. I had a hard time trying to look at it myself.

Huh I was expecting something more grotesque and creepy based on the comments above. Always love seeing concept art though so this was great. Looks like the main difference is that they toned down the detail and amount of guts, for obvious reasons. Makes sense from a censorship standpoint and a budget standpoint, considering you'd have to model all the organs then animate them as well, and by that point not only would it be tedious but also costly.
I do like the mutagen man we get though, and I'd go as far as saying he's much more grotesque and disturbing that the original. His ep. in the OT was played for laughs and even when he fell to bits in the mutagen vat it wasn't played up to be disturbing. Krang even made a joke IIRC.
Mutagen man's episodes in the Nick series are much more dark and somewhat disturbing. I mean honestly... When Timothy dumped the mutagen on himself and was stumbling around crying in agony with a muffled, strained voice, only to end up as a writhing mass of internal organs, I cringed a bit. Not only that but the fact that he's confined to a jar for months at a time as he slowly goes insane to the point of being primal? Dark stuff for a kid's cartoon. I can only imagine years down the road all the wee ones who saw it back then will be talking about how much it spooked them as a kid the same way we talk about stuff that spooked us in cartoons back then.

Ah, thanks for sharing! I always love seeing the creation process like this, and this incarnation of Mutagen Man was one I was really curious to see how the design process went. I can only imagine how it went down, "Ok, so we need you to take this guy *shows image of Pulverizer* and turn him into a transparent blob with all his organs floating around, with his eyes and mouth connected to the mess by cords. Okay, GO!"

I agree, the concept art isn't as dark as I was expecting, but I guess they were keeping the show's rating in mind. Though, this is still more creepy than the final version and really gives us an idea how far they could have pushed it if they wanted.

Though, one detail I liked was keeping the eyes and mouth inside the mass of goo and wanted to see what it would have looked like if they kept the detail intact:

Sweet!

A grotesque design for a truly despicable and loathsome character.
