Last but not least is the party dude.

I was thinking it would be funny if Mikey was a painted turtle (thus the lines up and down his neck and arm), I was also thinking it would be cool if he was the only one of the turtles who could actually retreat into his shell (perhaps explaining his fearlessness).  And of course I had to include the pizza in there too.

The cool but rude one.

I am really not a fan of the newer incarnations of Raphael, especially in that new TMNT 3D movie.  He was so very emo.  I wanted to scream at the writers for that fight scene between him and Leo.

Instead I like the idea of Raph behaving more like one of the old muscle-head 80s action stars; fearless, lumbering, and kind of a dick.  He could even spout a few one-liners.  I actually based the pose off of a picture of Rambo.

The one that does machine.

For Donatello I was thinking of him as being more of a tortoise.  A slower, wiser testudine.  I also liked the idea of his color scheme being more muted, perhaps cause he spends so much time in front of the computer instead of out in the sun.

Time for a game of blogging catch-up.  I finished the fearsome fighting four about two months ago, but haven’t updated my blog since then.
