I'm sorry, I still think most of these concepts are making the turtles look way too creepy. I agree: stick to the source!

Just to clarify, the Leonardo art was based on this...

It's cool, but it's a little thick. I think the Turtles should be a little thinner this time around.

pretty cool design. Would use for the film.

Something along those lines wouldn't be bad. I'd change the skin green, and possibly alter the face just a tad. And fix the hands other than that its pretty good. Better than some of the other redesigns floating around.

Yeah I think the green on their looks a little too brown and the hands are kinda big lol. And the face kind of looks like a skull, but I guess he's trying to make Raph look like a real turtle. I would prefer the sleek, yet muscular look over anything.

They look a little too thin for my taste. They don't have to be bulky, but the size Donatello is in that above image works.

We don't need beaks and all that. They're humanoid turtles, they take on human characteristics, hence the full mouth of teeth and the more human like eyes, etc.

 

[spidermanJLA!~]

I don't like beaks because it makes them look too vulture-like.

 

[spidergeek232]

Here's another design that I think fits the physic of each turtle. P.S. I would make Donatello a bit bigger than what he is and keep him tall. And of course make them look more bad ass, not this childish.

I'd like the turtles to be 4.5-5 feet tall.

I see what you mean, and the whole snapper-turtle thing is different, I guess.

I saw another TMNT comic cover by the same artist. LOL they kinda look like vulture's from the front.

I'm not sure about having a beak. I know it's more realistic, but it might look a little weird.

Holy crap!!!! Just found these designs for Shredder and Kraang and they are fantastic!!!!

Or this Shredder design, if you wanna go the way of the Mirage comics and have him more like an assassin.

Now that's not bad.

Which design do you like the best?

 

[spidermanJLA!~]

I like the bottom one for sure. Shredder has always been portrayed as "the guy in the shadows" and the "big man", a more assassin look better fits him. Or maybe he should be the big boss, but the Foot do his bidding, while he does his own work.(fighting the turtles and Splinter) Plus the first one looks too Magneto-ish.

I always liked these designs:

 

[terry78]

That's pretty good concept art to go by.

 

[SpiderBat]

I'd take a good look at an actual turtle and work from there. Base them on the classic cartoon though.

 

[spidergeek232]

If they do use beaks like an actual turtle, dont make it like a birds. It make them look like a turtle and a bird had kids lol.

But yeah, like how they made the Lizard, have them have turtle skin, not just green and smooth.

 

[Comics N' Toons]

most of these are okay, but the closer the look to the source material the better.
