This unique look for the typically crime fighting turtles is a great example of fans revamping the look of iconic characters. Artist Anthony Francisco created these amazing illustrations that capture the popular Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles as extraterrestrial beings. The drawings were created for the latest Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtle film as a concept drawing that ended up being rejected with the film going in a different direction. The illustrations show the turtle heroes as half alien half reptile with long legs, tight skin and obscured bodies. It would have been interesting to see how the film would have looked if these illustrations were chosen. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 3.8/10 - Popularity: 50% | Activity: 56% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 90% men, 10% women - Primary generations: Gen Z - Top markets: North America ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Pop Culture](https://www.trendhunter.com/popculture) ## Key Themes ### What Makes This Trend Stand Out - **Revamped Character Designs:** The trend of revamping iconic character designs provides opportunities for fresh interpretations and imaginative creativity. - **Alternative Universes:** Exploring alternative universes for well-known characters opens up possibilities for new storylines and fan engagement. - **Conceptual Art in Film:** The use of concept art in film production offers a platform for experimentation and brainstorming innovative ideas. ### Sectors Adopting This - **Film and Entertainment:** The film and entertainment industry can benefit from incorporating unique character designs to attract and engage audiences. - **Fan Art and Illustration:** The fan art and illustration industry can tap into the trend of revamping familiar characters to showcase their creativity and gain recognition. - **Merchandising and Licensing:** The merchandising and licensing industry can capitalize on alternative universes and fresh character designs to create new products and expand their offerings. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Cartoon Turtle Figurines](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/teljesnegyzet.md) - [Animated Movie-Themed Snack Cakes](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/teenage-mutant-ninja-turtle-cakebites.md) - [Film-Themed Pizza Menus](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/pizza-hut-mutagen-ooze.md) - [Animated Turtle Clothing Collections](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/sheins-teenage-mutant-ninja-turtles.md) - [Crossover Action Adventure Series](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/teenage-mutant-ninja-turtles-and-naruto.md) - [Cartoon Turtle-Themed Pizzas](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/turtle-pizza.md) - [Cartoon-Inspired Card Games](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/magic-the-gathering-x-teenage-mutant-ninja-turtles.md) - [90s Cartoon-Themed Supplements](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/ghost-x-tmnt-products.md) - [Action Cartoon Game Crossovers](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/black-ops-6-tmnt.md)
