The CONFIRMED New Season

[BubblyShell22]

Well, that picture of Leo looks awesome. I can't wait to see how it's done once it's on TV. And I don't care if they have pupils or not. This picture of Leo looks so much better than Fast Forward Leo. Overall, I'm happy with the look.

I like that drawing better without pupils, but I need to see the art in motion (or at least see more emotions) before I decide if pupils are better or not.

I too prefer the design without pupils. Just looks a little meaner this way. And somehow, less cheap, even though it probably would be cheaper to do away with pupils.

looks almost exactly like FF to me I find it funny how many people are saying they like this when they had a bitch fit about FF's look when this looks almost exactly like it. & I don't mind the eyes at all.

Awesome!!!

As much as I prefer pupils in general, I think it would be better to keep them without pupils for continuity purposes.

[Spawn Guy]

Do we know who designed it? Looks very Jeff Matsudaesque.

I think the big thing is the belt and weapon designs are back to a state of normalcy.

I love the design and he looks better with Pupils. Its the perfect CGI to hand drawn conversion.

However since its not a cartoon based on the movie but a continuation of 2k3, I'd be happy if they removed the pupils.

[Jester]

I'm just wondering how that's gonna work...they are obviously 2 distinct continuities.

Yeah lordforbid they wear something differnt

[CudleyCowlick]

Well, they didn't ruin the turtles. But then again, I've been happy with all previous versions, including FF. No pupils would be nice sure, but I won't boycott it over that.

What concerns me is will they ruin Casey? I don't want him to look/act like a skinny geek as he did in the movie. I know I've brought this up before but it SERIOUSLY ticked me off.

Casey is a physically JACKED, whackbag, borderline psychotic with roughly the mental capacity and etiquette of an 8th grade boy, and that's just how he's supposed to be.

[Raph's Girl]

Have to admit that I prefer it without the pupils. Ya can't really see them in the first place but you KNOW they're there. Im glad Murphy says the pupils might be gone. I prefer the Batmanesque type mask over the OS/Movie type mask.

Actually, I always found teh Turtles to be kind of... I dunno... "shiny" in FF. That's what I didn't like. Sure, the future-outfits or whatever they were weren't my favorite, either. I didn't hate them, though. They were in the future wearing stuff from the future. It made sense.

It was the "shiny" skin that really got to me.

[Raph'N'Roll]

That's cool, I really like the Mirage comic/TMNT movie style belt, I look forward to seeing the show in motion.

This new image doesn't scream pastel and Lego blocks like FF, and I hated that most of all about the series. I like this. It is actually really good, and if it's the new artstyle, I can live peacefully with it, even with or without pupils.

You need your eyes checked. 2K3 was curves. >> was angles. Since people griped about the switch from curves to angles, the angle percentage has just been heightened. Now, everyone's happy. Sound logical? Cuz I don't think so...

[Kendamu]

Leonardo isn't a human female so I don't really care about his lacking of curves.

You mean back when the series was good?



Yeah, I forgot those-- but still, he just could NOT resist the shinies of the future...

But then, none of them could, evidently-- futuristic weapons that had "power".


Oh, and YEAH, I like it better without the pupils. Nice job, Jester!

Actually, 2k3 was not curves. 2k3 was CONTOURS. That's what's different about this design. It is devoid of interesting contours, so we lose complexity and uniqueness. Contours define negative spaces and negative spaces help us distinguish characters. Unfortunately, contours cost more money to animate at a decent framerate.
