The NEW Official Trailer Discussion

[Sumac]

Viral marketing sounds like a good idea...that's why it most likely will not be used in marketing for this movie.

Shredder looks like he belongs in a Machete Kills movie, not Ninja Turtles what's up with the three blades hanging from his... Bicep?

Who is Shredder? Look for the guy with an extreme amount of cuts on his fingers.

Splinter's concept art looks fantastic, sadly that's not how he looks in final product.

"Shredder don't tweet!"

That Splinter design is so awesome. They should have used that instead of the one we're ending up with.

That design kinda reminds me of this:

I can definitely see the resemblance.

When I first saw it, I instantly thought of 2k3 Splinter in live action form.

Heh, funny. I finally see one thing from this movie that I genuinely like, and it's not even in the final product.

That Splinter design is amazing. I agree, that shouldve been the final design.

[NYShell]

I'm starting to get less picky about the designs now. I just want the actual CG to be top notch.

Shredder's definitely got some automated mech-suit legs going on there. Guess a ninja can't just be a ninja anymore.

I was pretty sure everyone could tell the "prison tat" thing was a joke. Obviously they don't have the materials in there to make something like that. And that's even worse. Forget the TMNT designs, that's irrelevant. That tattoo is a piece of sh*t, the fact it's a TMNT-based piece of sh*t isn't the point. That person is definitely going to spend a lot of money getting it "fixed" later on. Not if the movie is good or bad. More like, as soon as reality sets in, they sober up, whatever. It's just poorly done.

As far as cost/pain factor, how big it is, how long you're getting worked on, and where it is are all factors. At a minimum, most places charge roughly $100 an hour, so it definitely isn't a cheap hobby. That's why I only have three when there are about 5 or 6 more I want to get. The two that only took an hour and a half to do didn't hurt or bleed much at all, the first one on my right biceps and the third one on my right triceps. The second one, the Guns N Roses tat on my left shoulder, took one four-hour shot, bled a ton, and really stung in one tiny spot where the skin was really thin. By the time they got to the coloring, the outline was turning to scar tissue, so around the time they started coloring some spots felt like a bad sunburn.

But cost is definitely more an inhibiting factor than pain. Who's got a few hundred bucks just laying around? You gotta plan and save up for that sh*t. Which I hate; some days I pass a shop and wanna just pop in and get something done, then I remember I have an overdue bill. But they don't hurt. I've seen people wiggle and squirm in the chair, too; they're called pussies. I could see someone on their 4th or 5th straight hour in the chair getting a little fed up with it, but that's why most people get very big pieces done on more than one day, anyway. Something on your arm doesn't hurt. Everyone should get one.

If anything, the problem with tattoos is wanting to go back and get more right away.

Oh it's good to be back friend.

And hey, that Shredder art. Pretty terrible-looking.

Hey Trick - we haven't been officially introduced, but good to see you back on the forums! *waves*

So my other half wasn't aware that the Splinter pic was concept art only. Good thing dinner was already cooked before I broke the painful news, otherwise my meal would have tasted of bitter, bitter tears.

Seriously though, that was a great bit of concept art - I can't understand who would look at that and think it needed improving.

Seriously. We go from a concept that looks like a badass, realistic version of the 87 cartoon Splinter to...

Wah, wah, wah.

Hey duuude welcome back!! You haven't posted at all until now Whatever it was.. your just in time for the good stuff

As for Splinter.. I think it's the paint job. He's got more hair on his face than that. So it's probably the same as the concept but with a more Japanese look. Just add the mustache and head knot.

[MrTMNT2012]

Soo...when are we gonna get a new trailer?

[sh3llshocked]

Hopefully sometime between now and the release of Transformers Age of Extinction...
