Alien Ninja Turtle: Final Painting

Okay, so here is the final version of my Alien Ninja Turtle. As explained in an earlier post, This Turtle like creature comes from a tribal race of tall, warrior aliens. I have enjoyed doing this painting. I could of gone crazy with the Idea that the new Turtles film would have alien ninja turtles as apposed to the mutant variety we all know and love. I chose to keep it more believable, and give the turtle a build more suited to a ninja that a shorter, heavier turtle/human we have seen before. Hope you enjoy.

Alien Ninja Turtle Colour: WIP.

Now this is getting close to the final image. I will add so texture and additional detail to this painting.

Alien Ninja Turtles WiP

Work in Progress. I am using a mixture of techniques to see if i can get a really atmospheric look to my painting.

Alien Ninja Turtle Development

I have chosen this version of one of the Turtles to work up into a painted concept. This version is more of a Tribal Alien race of Turtle like creatures, Who wear Armour instead of having a protective shell. This is the light and shadow source of the final image.

Teenage Alien Ninja Turtles

This post is inspired by the news that Michael Bay is producing the next Ninja Turtles film, and how everyone is outraged that he is going to make them Aliens instead of Mutants, and get rid of the 'teenage' part. So here I have a few designs on how he might change the designs to be more 'interesting and new'
1: Make the Turtles actual space Ninjas in Ninja costumes and futuristic goggles. The shell would actually be a broad shield the carry.
2: Make them have a metal space suit Armour as well as making them look more Turtle like.
3: Make them all elongated and tribal like, so its like they come from a race of green alien turtle like creatures. Again, the shell is just some body Armour/ storage. They would have a Lycra like costume with padding and some tribal body paint.
4: Shredder would be a Robot with parts of a living creature/ brain inside. ( like a Megatron/ General Grievous mix. )
