Not bad, I like the 1st and 3rd pic.

First concept is rad. Not a fan of the "bald skin" looking concept.

I like the second, mainly for the face. The attire's a bit too much, though.

*IndigoErth* · 11-03-2014, 04:53 PM

Not bad, no doubt some Nick Splinter inspiration on that first one. Second is kinda cool... that is totally a warrior rat from Narnia. lol

(TMNT/Narnia crossover, make it happen.)

These look better than what was in the movie...but I'm not a fan of the big eyes in the third one. Even though rats do have big eyes like that....it doesn't work very well for a character like Splinter. My opinion.

First one looks the best, though.

that 1st pic is legit

How did we go from looking so rad like this to...well what we got? Some days I wish I could of sat in on the design meetings just to figure out what they were thinking.

Wow...that first one is KING! Why the hell did they scrap it to give us the sleezy filthy ugly one in the movie?

Hollywood some times.. (or all the times actually.)

The 2nd one kinda reminds me of Archie's Splinter:

First one is super cool.

That one is giving me Redwall vibes.

Well that first one is great. Very Nick toon, and I like a tall Splinter.

Other ones I'm not too fond of, but all of these and the one we originally saw are LEAGUES better than what we got in the movie.

Which I'm going to watch for the first time ever, shortly.

Waiting patiently for that review.

Splinter was what really trashed the movie for me. He looked SOOO bad. Like, melty Droopy Dog...It was terrible. The turtles look weird, but they grew on me. April was a pretty bad actress, but I was able to overlook most of that. But Splinter's voice, look, and everything bothered the hell out of me. Ugh.

No reason Fu Manchu...god.

ANY of these would be a VAST improvement.

Seriously I think we all wondered what the **** happened between this amazing concept art and final product.

lol Yeah, that design was just... I dunno. The Turtles may take some getting used to, but Splinter looked like he had a bad case of mange. (In which case I guess the Turtles are lucky to be reptiles if that sort doesn't transfer.)
