Description Here one of the model sheets I did for the designing of the Jersey Devil for TMNT (2007) along with screen caps of the final model used in the film and modeled by the talented folk at Imagi.
I had a lot of fun designing characters and props on that production with my friends Jeff Matsuda and Jose Lopez. As a fan of the original Turtle comics as a kid in the 80's, it was a great experience, and in all truth a childhood dream come true.

My favorite TMNT monster! Wish he'd be brought back for the 2012 series along with the other 12 monsters. Probably won't happen.

tnperkins In reply to Easssae [2012-10-21 00:33:47 +0000 UTC]

Perhaps, But I did not design them, so I do not have them. Those were done by Jeff Matsuda.

I remember that fighting scene lots of laughter to it too! That movie really felt like being reunited with old friends. Too bad it was kinda short for me, and a lot of cools stuffs got left out (eg: where is Leo's multiple swords fight?).

Here's hoping for more of it

I loved all the monsters in TMNT.

One thing that bugged me about the movie, is that they didn't show all the 13 monsters clearly.
Do you know if they animated them all?

tnperkins In reply to commanderhavoc [2008-03-10 15:23:49 +0000 UTC]

That was the idea "...kinda creepy cute...but in the end could wipe you out..." was the mandate I got while designing him. Many of the other rough ideas were a tad more menacing.
