Character Design - Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles

In an earlier post I looked at a few different cartoon programmes which I was using as a base for my research on anamorphic characters. So far I came up with two different programmes which I believe represent what I will be trying to achieve with my character design throughout this 10 week project.
I have had a few basic ideas which I believed to be pretty solid but after having a chat with Justin, decided to start again from scratch. These will be noted in later posts after more research has been carried out.

The Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles -

So, one of the cartoons that I left out in the last post which was a massive influence in my life from an early age was The Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles".
This programme was released the late 1980's to the early 1990's which over the last decade has gathered world wide fame. The ninja turtles train in the art of nijitsu and were taught by their master who also happens to be a mutated rat.
