I wonder if the Turtles look and design has been decided for

The Hedge · 05-27-2002, 07:25 PM

With Warner animation out of the picture, the TMNT will probably undergo another makeover for the new show.
I'd have lovin to see what Warner came up with, we'll probably never see that though.
I just hope they look meaner and darker than the old cartoon, not too stylized like Batman beyond, but maybe like Jim Lawsons style in the new comic.

Any chance of a preview Pete?

Later dudes!

**azure turtle** · 05-27-2002, 09:19 PM

Heya Hedge! Welcome to the Technodrome! I'm your friendly neighborhood blue mutant turtle. A pleasure to meet another TMNT fanatic!
*gives the Hedge a mango of welcome*
May your stay be pleasant.

Ah, and about the new cartoon show...I'd love it if Peter Laird gave us a litte sneak peak...

Loolaa · 05-28-2002, 01:21 AM

I wonder how long it'll be before we really do start seeing previews...

Tinselcat · 05-28-2002, 05:20 PM

There's a new show? Jay-zus, i'm out of the loop!! Oh, I'm Tinselcat, by the way, nice to meetcha. You're from Ireland, huh? That's awsome! Do you know where to find more information on the new series?

**azure turtle** · 05-28-2002, 06:34 PM

*modest grin*
Oy Tinselcat, I wrote a little article about it on the front page of the Technodrome. It has links, so you can read the full articles. There isn't too much information what is going to be in the show itself, but there is a lot of info on when/where it's going to air and how 4Kids Entertainment teamed up with Mirage.

Tinselcat · 05-29-2002, 06:12 AM

Thanks for the info, azure, i'll check it out. i really hope i'll be able to see this show. the tv at my house isn't hooked up to an antenna, so we can only watch movies... i wanna see turtles!!

i miss 'em!

Lisardo · 05-29-2002, 10:38 AM

Hey Hedge and Tinselcat, didn't say hi to our newest members! Welcome aboard

About the new show tho, I would so wish if they would do Batman: TAS style art, it would be great, since I'm such a Batman fan also. To prove it, check out my TMNT artwork done in the Batman: TAS style. They're the first row under Artwork by me. http://members.fortunecity.com/lisardo79/fanart.html

But I would havta disagree that I don't want the toon to be done in the new comic style by Jim Lawson, I don't like his artwork. Tho if it were to be done in Peter's comic artwork, that would be fine. Yeah hopefully Peter will give some previews or something on his site.

**azure turtle** · 05-29-2002, 01:59 PM

Ooh, nice drawings, Lisardo! I especially liked the Egyptian Turtles sketch. It's so cool!

Tinselcat · 05-29-2002, 04:59 PM

hey, lisardo, i looked at your fanart, and i gotta say: cooooool! and i agree, that egyptian turtles art is awsome! very cool idea. i love looking at how different people draw the turtles.

**HorseTechie** · 05-29-2002, 07:50 PM

Well.. seeing as how I hadn't seen anyone else draw like Lawson, I belive we're safe there.

Though.. I wonder what the TMNT attire will look like? Will it be like the Movie ones, with brown kneepads and elbowpads? I would actually like it if they had the simple brown blets, and no letters for their names. That has always kind of bothered me.. but I'm weird. I bet the bandanas will be the same color ones, which is fine. Be cool if they wore like different disguises from time to time, or like have different ninja equipement fittings on the legs, upper arms, belt.

Lisardo · 05-29-2002, 10:02 PM

Oh thanks guys for the nice input, glad ppl do like my artwork

(didn't mean to self-advertise tho, heh) And if you any of you guys have artwork on your pages of TMNT, do show, do show! I also love to see other's artwork.

Oh and HT, I agree the letters on their belts were kinda kiddie-like. I prefer them not have them myself. HOwever, despite the idea that the new cartoon will prolly be more comic-based, I don't want the turtles to all have the same colored bandana's like they did in the comics (the all red masks). Too hard to tell who's who sometimes, unless you see their weapons, but in the cartoon's case, you'd hear their voices too. But still, I like the diff colors, it would suck if they don't give them their colors. After all, they had diff colors in all the movies, and the movies were always semi-comic esp. TMNT 1.

Just my opinion.

**azure turtle** · 05-29-2002, 10:11 PM

I like the idea of them having different colored masks...though I wouldn't mind too much if they all wore red. Oh, and I have some fanart by many talented artists being hosted at my website, if you'd like to take a look. Just click on the link in my sig below.

The Hedge · 05-30-2002, 11:40 AM

Hey thanks for the welcome guys!
Liked your artwork Lisardo, if they looked like that in the new show I wouldn't mind.
You can check out some my artwork at
http://www.undermanhattan.com/fan_art/mc_donnell/4.asp
That's the forth page of my gallery, but that's my favorite picture so far.

Later!

**HorseTechie** · 05-30-2002, 11:48 AM

Yeah, colored masks are cool with me... as long as they have leather everything else!

Oh... You can go down one forum, to the Fanworks section. We advertise all kinds of artwork and reads there (just to keep this area on topic, heh)

*nudges Azure* ...Ooo, now you're also the chief in charge of the Off-Topic Police, Mangos, Ninja, etc. here!

**azure turtle** · 05-30-2002, 12:32 PM

No prob, Hedge!

Woah, so you're actually Martin McDonnel? Dude, I think your art is awesome! And if my memory serves me right, you actually got your art posted at the official site. Congrats on that!
*looks to HT*
Y'mean I'm in charge of all of those?
*points to the off-topic creatures*
Uh oh...I don't think they'll listen to me...

Loolaa · 05-30-2002, 12:39 PM

Oh!! Hedge.. it's you!!! I love your art!

Heheh... so Azure's a moderator now, eh?

*rubs hands together*

**azure turtle** · 05-30-2002, 06:31 PM

Yup, I'm a mod now. I'm here to fight and defend.

Peanut · 05-30-2002, 07:24 PM

I doubt there will be much darker themes in the show considering it will be airing on Fox Kids. I don't mind though.

**Kali** · 05-30-2002, 08:27 PM

They've already said it was going to be darker than the original series, but not quite as dark as the Mirage comics.

*enigma-1* · 05-30-2002, 08:30 PM

Whatever it turns out to be, I just want to see it. That's all that matters to me.

P.S.- Kali, thanx for the review. And before you ask, there will be more to that story shortly, even if it is under a new title.
