Concept Art - Page 9

Man, all these designs are terrible. I'm so tired of people making Raph just this over-sized snapping Turtle brute and Mikey just this goofball. That Shredder design is hideous.

It's not like the designs for the new movie are all that great either, I think we're just more used to them. We certainly got the lesser of two evils with what ended up in the movie. I was on board with the look before the film, but the more I see them...the more they really just don't do anything for me. Oh well.

WTF is that???

Is Mikey's shell on backwards?

The second concept-art make guys look like zombies. Rotten zombies at that.

The only decent concept was "Colonel Schraeder" (#2). It is human (or at least human-sized), instantly recognizable as Shredder and doesn't look like Megatron's illegitimate child.

"Hey, y'know what? We should just make the Ninja Turtles look like the Ninja Turtles." - nobody in Hollywood, apparently

What we got in the final product was beautiful compared to these disturbing monstrosities.

*IndigoErth* · 08-26-2014, 12:03 PM

See this is why the movie needs more down time so there can be more casual gifs with meme-like and other phrases pasted on them. Like a nice "HELL NO" gif... cuz those models are even more 'hell no' than a Mikey sans mask. lol

Imagine those in the elevator. Just... just burn the building down.

Some things were never meant to be seen.

But he is a brute, a rebel, a barbaric fighter of the group. Hell, the guy in your avatar was the largest, and biggest turtle of the group in the 1990 movie too.

I don't like his size, and physique in that one proposed design. Him and fat, pot belly Mikey look ridiculous. And not in an appealing way. But the Raph we got on the film while being huge (all the turtles are, he's just the biggest) at least he was built with an appealing musculature.

He looked more linebacker than he did husky strong man competition type build.

Wait you liked the from the get go, saw the movie and how much better they look finally rendered on screen with each character's personality, charm, and nuanced expressions. And now you like them less? You grew distant from them?

I do not understand how that makes sense. I see the reverse trend. Them being alarming at first, but a warming up process. But not the opposite. Especially with the final designs, and how they look on film.

We definitely got the lesser of the evils with the designs. They still keep the essence of classic ninja turtles, and just put on more detail for the big screen. They're essentially the out of the shadows designs with character specific clothing, and accessories.

These other designs are hideous, and not identifiably ninja turtles. Hell, some of these have guns, and look like Teenage Mutant Rambo Turtles. Although maybe that was supposed to the be the alien race from Dimension X via Blue Door?

But either way the turtles we got aren't ugly. They're just more fearsome looking. Mikey in particular is very cute. Especially the way they layered the actors faces into the actual designs, it gave the characters much more personality, and nuance than the animatronic film turtles from the 90s.

I couldn't have said it better. I had those too as a kid and the art work in them is f*cked up!!!!!! Literally what nightmares are made of, speaking of which, thanks for bringing back those memories. Took me forever to unthink those images as a kid. Well, I'm not sleeping tonight now. Lol

Yeah, I could go for a face like that. It's definitely more turtle-esque. What really bugged me the most from the 2014 TMNT faces were the overly humanized lips. Nostrils I'm definitely 100% on board with because that's what turtles actually have, but give them turtle beaks instead of Jay Z lips man.

Personally I think the final designs on Raph looks more like he sprung out of a Rob Liefeld comic, he is so disproportionate and bulky it's comical.

I'm very fond of the designs, but I hope they beef down Raph for TMNT 2.

A few more designs. The noses look a little ape like but the gear isn't half bad. I also like this Splinter and Shredder.

I hate that the turtles have human hands & pretty much straight up turtle feet, but other than that, they look pretty solid! Sad that everyone wanted to push Mikey over the top, but still... Splinter looks awesome. Shredder is overdesigned, much like the one we got, but I really dig that it has an old-world Japanese feel to it, rather than it just feeling robotic.
