Thanks to all the participants and voters, Foot Soldier redesign will start next month I will open the new thread at the end of this poll.

So who should I put in the next redesign poll?
Last poll were Bebop, Rocksteady, April and Foot Soldier.
Elite Foot Soldier will be in the next with April and... please suggest more options.

[oldmanwinters]

Secret ballot!

Spoiler:

So many interesting takes. It's a tough vote for me because I really like Drawsher as the best technical take on the character. It's the one that I would like to roll with as a mainstream reimaging of the universe. And, yet, cartoonistaaron's 1st submission makes me laugh so I went with his.

EDIT, crud, I voted for the wrong cartoonistaaron submission! I liked the first one better!

BTW, nice to see Jester's take in the poll. Didn't you draw that a while back, Jest?

man...It's toss up between Vivi and Drawsher for me. I can't decide. I think these two have the most classic look to them which I like. Drawsher's Splinter is so detailed and intense. He practically comes off the page. He almost has a Rats of Nyme look to him.He really comes across as a sage yet powerful Splinter to me. Vivi's Splinter remind me more of the tradition Splinter from OT and NT. He looks tough and viril. Like a guy who isn't past his prime yet, and can get very physical.

[cartoonistaaron]

They all look so good!

But I have to go with Cartoonistaaron's first submission.

I think cartoonistaaron is a pretty cool guy, eh draws cartoon Splinters and doesn't afraid of anything

[Bry]

So many cool entries... but I have to go with Drawsher's. I just really dig it from both technical and design standpoints, and love Splinter's legitimately rat-like appearance.

That said... excellent work, everyone. Can't wait for the Foot Soldier round next month.

Yes, I did. I didn't know there would be a poll though....should have read more closely...

[Koschei]

Ha! Yeah, I can't believe I got a vote too. Seriously though, I feel out of my league with some of these great submissions.

Well I just wrote out a massive post, giving my view on everyone's work, and how I got to my overall winner. Then I managed to push a button on my keyboard, no idea what one, and it went back a page, thus deleting the whole text. Pretty p*ssed, and really can't be assed writing it all again. So i'll just say that it was between three in the end:

Kiwamu the Kappa. Drawsher. Bry.

Kiwamu's really has a 'sensei' quality to it. Bry's is just great, but doesn't have that whole 'old man' look. Makes me think of 'Splinter's younger years' - what he'd be like as a younger ninja rat. Winner for me though is Drawsher's - this girl's got talent. Its amazing! Very very original, has the sensei look, and its pretty beautiful. Please stick around these here boards, lass, as its an honour to watch your work.

[Oculus Orbus]

Great art in general, I'm quite surprised by all the talent here. Congratulations, guys!
I voted for Koschei, I think his drawing is really good.

I hope I can participate in the next one!

That's just what I was going for, and why I went with more of a traditional ninja outfit instead of the robe. Not as recognizable as the "Master Splinter" we've usually seen, but as cool a concept as TMNT is, I think the concept of a mutant ninja rat is just as cool, really.

Thanks, and glad you liked it!

That happens to me all the time, it have happened so many times, that now if I know, that I will write a big peace of text, I just do it in the WordPad first to get it saved... only then I paste it in the post...

Is a real pain in the "back" when this happens...

[shuriken]

I really like Powder's Bry's and Dawsher's, but Dawshers is my favorite overall. Although Bry's looks like it would fit in really well in the Next Mutation toy line(not a bad thing by any means). Powder's has a creepy sort of yoda like apeal that would be amazing if displayed in the New Movie (the 2012 one obviously). Dawshers captures a very sophisticated looking Splinter as well as a hell of a design.

[BoggleKng]

It was a tough one, my top 3 in no particular order: Koschei: love the "street" style, Drawsher: just beautifully done, and Kiwamu The Kappa: a very Asian flavor here it seems and would make a nice transition to a new cartoon in that style...

[Koschei]

I wanted to vote for mine but thought nobody would vote for it because of the style and I didnt want to have one vote from myself.
I voted for Drawsher, the style and mood of it comes off as a real Master of Ninjitsu, and his face, its just awesome.

[Powder]

I too voted for drawsher. I'm surprised I got a vote though lol.
