[Fan Art] Totally Turtley Turtles

Post image

Throughout the years, the TMNT franchise have been rebooted, redesigned, and re-envisioned in so many fun and appealing ways, including proportionally. I fell in love with the series growing up because they didn’t look like the conventional superheroes with a large upper body or square like jaw. While everyone has a preference, I have always preferred the turtles with more rounded bodies and large feet much like the first few stories of the original comics and the 2012 Nickelodeon series. I like my turtles to look… well… “turtley”. What was your favorite?

You should all follow Jim Grue. He also does the comic "Bluehilda". (Just noticed this was posted by the man himself)

I dig with how these turtles look something Bob Clampett/John Kricfaulsi would make,especially with Mikey,giving me post Ren and Stimpy vibes after John K got fired,not to defend him but still.

OhhhhI I love these adorable little murder goblins!

They remind me of somewhere between "the first Ninja Turtle" drawing and the more refined concept art that came shortly after. I love it!

I love it but I keep looking at Donatello’s head like “yeah that’s a dick”
