Here's another background art 🧵 thread from the #RiseoftheTMNTMovie archives 🧵:

Starting off with the color key I did for the Central Room of the new Turtle’s Lair.

Fun Fact: We wanted the color Green to represent safety and protection

Designing color themes was always funner when we could pinpoint the story elements to represent throughout the show.

There's always a concern of tracking colors through locations, so we had to make sure that each area has distinct color profiles, especially when you're cutting between storylines.

As always, credits due:

Awesome Designs by Brandon Cuellar and ( I believe) Nikita Chan!

Fun Fact: It's subtle, but I tried to hit a vibe from Secret of the Ooze for the set

And that's it for now!
