Does Splinter get the short end of the stick? - Page 2

**Kali** · 03-10-2002, 03:21 PM

Hey, he'll be in the CGI movie they're working on!

**azure turtle** · 03-10-2002, 03:24 PM

That's true! I just hope he looks as good, if not better, as he did in the CGI trailer.

**Kali** · 03-10-2002, 03:27 PM

I'm sure he will. That trailer was, as they said, a "rough draft". Things will look much nicer when they put some more (expensive) effort into it.

On the subject of rat-anthromorph drawings...I finally found where I stored some of mine. Here are links to some drawings I made about 4 years ago when I was using them to harass a friend nicknamed "Rat". (Yes he's wearing a kilt, he's a Scottish Rat.)

Oh, and this one wasn't a harassment one...just a rat. (Consider it proof that, yes, rats can be drawn fairly realisticly.) http://dragonladyl.tripod.com/rat.jpg
And here's a photo of some of the ratties I used to have:

Hey, nice drawings, SC! I really liked that life-like sketch you did of a rat. Yep, rats can be drawn realistically

**Kali** · 03-10-2002, 07:53 PM

Ooh, pretty. I did do one rat-anthromoph, but it wasn't Splinter, although I based it on a picture of him. It was a commission for a co-worker. I got $8 for it!

The link seems to be broken

**Kali** · 03-10-2002, 11:18 PM

No, that's just Yahoo being Yahoo. Try cutting and pasting.

**azure turtle** · 03-10-2002, 11:35 PM

Ahh, okay. It works now. I like the sketch, Kali! I'm struggling just to sketch the TMNT; it'll be a long while before I attempt to draw Splinter, or any other human/rat hybrid, for that matter.

**Kali** · 03-10-2002, 11:41 PM

Ah, you'll get there, all it takes is a lot of practice. Believe me, it takes a LOT of practice.

**azure turtle** · 03-11-2002, 12:40 AM

*dances excitedly*
I hope to get there soon! I shall practice as often as possible!
*waves his yellow pencil in the air happily*
I even have a few new sketches, but I can't put them up 'til near the end of this week. My first final is on Tuesday, and my next one is on Saturday

I need to get those sketches up before spring break, because I don't have a scanner at home.

*Skeletoncrew* · 03-11-2002, 01:05 AM

Maybe I should sit down with one of my rat books and try drawing again. I need to correct the bad/good Splinter art imbalance!

**HorseTechie** · 03-12-2002, 10:14 AM

*pops in outta nowwhere*

Yes! I agree that poor Splinter looks more and more like the Big Bad Wolf from Lil Red Riding Hood every day! Except for Henson's version of him in TMNT1. He looked pretty 'ratty' then.

Wow... you do have many ree's, SC! I just had two rees a few years back, Gertrude and Matilda.

And then, here's my take on Splinter http://horseturtle.tripod.com/kakera.html

**azure turtle** · 03-12-2002, 05:54 PM

*is surprised by HT's sudden appearance*
Woah, you gotta teach me how to do that sometime

I've got to agree that Splinter's form in TMNT 1 was one of his best. From the pics I've seen on the net, he looked really bad in the COOTS video. Poor dude.

SeaThreePeeO · 03-13-2002, 04:22 AM

COOTS. Sadly I never got to see the tour video, so I can't express an opinion on that one. Bring back the Henson Creatures!

Come to think of it, I didn't like the Turtle suits in TMNT 3 or in NT:TNM!

Why, why? Why must they change things?

**Kali** · 03-13-2002, 11:36 AM

Change is good! And I thought TNM costumes were pretty good. Splinter's coulda been better, but I liked the guys. I mean, it had a TV budget, I'm surprised the costumes were that good.

*Skeletoncrew* · 03-13-2002, 03:37 PM

I've got to see those! Grrrr...I need a TV and a VCR! Better yet, every TMNT ever taped needs to be released on DVD!!!

**azure turtle** · 03-13-2002, 05:38 PM

Oh ya! I'd be totally happy if they started to release TMNT stuff on DVD. Actually, I'd be happy for a while before I realize how much money I'd end up spending....*le sigh*

**HorseTechie** · 03-13-2002, 06:12 PM

oh yeah.... I need something more to round out my hubby's collection of 300 DVD movies. And he makes fun of me collecting comics n figures!

(( PS... Welcome to the NTML, Azure! ))
