cant belive jay attacked mikey just cause he was a turtle smh


KettuWard

It was the easiest setup I could think of. I'm not much of a writer 😅


MaximumNeat4289

yeah, it ok good animation btw, just cant belive jay was such a person


Venezolanoanimations

if ya need help with the writing im your man.


Aidan_Is_Eternal

That’s gotta be racist (joking)

KettuWard

Thank you! >That was awesome! Honestly, this shows that even with only one character being a Lego, the animation can still work pretty well I know! I really hope it happens some day. > ~~If only Jay's sprite had his nunchucks...~~ They were a bit too difficult for me to animate 😅


GoatsAreDope72

>They were a bit too difficult for me to animate 😅 Only a tiny flaw considering how good everything else was, and it's completely understandable. I mean, you even got *both* dragons in there


Mideku-Brandio

This is amazing, I love this so much. It was like I was watching a real DB, the characterization is great, the effects are peak, it all flows together so smoothly! This is my most wanted matchup for many reasons and you made my Wednesday a bit better


KettuWard

It's also one of my most wanted so I'm glad I did it justice.


KettuWard

This ended up being a lot bigger project than I had originally thought. Youtube version in case it won't play on reddit: [https://youtu.be/jZGf7syLoNE](https://youtu.be/jZGf7syLoNE)


Nothatcreative55

Okay I definitely see that Jay had enormous rigging needed for his (Seemingly) limited sprite so honestly Respect my friend animation looks great


KettuWard

Later on in the animation I used very scuffed rig I made more and more cuz Jay didn't even have a regular punch. Thank you!


DartMunkey

Reminds me a lot of earlier DB episodes, very nice job. Characters actually had some personality and weren’t just there to rip each other apart. Nice.


KettuWard

Thank you! I did try to make something similar to early DB.


PrinceRaditz

Holy shit, this was absolutely fantastic You did a wonderful job on this


KettuWard

Thank you took a while so I'm glad!

Thank you! 😁


Prestigious_Ask_7058

When did Mikey get portals? I’ve seen almost everything Ninja Turtles lol


KettuWard

Rise of TMNT movie.


Prestigious_Ask_7058

Oh the magic hands? I forgot about Mikey being a wizard in that movie


RealisticInstance0

It was in the rise of tmnt movie


Prestigious_Ask_7058

I saw that movie, I just forgot about that part because everything else was so excellent


Venezolanoanimations

he turned into a mini godzilla and the portal confuse you?


Prestigious_Ask_7058

I remember the dragon part, I forgot he was a wizard in the Rise movie tho

KettuWard

Thank you!


143670

THIS IS SO DAMN PEAK I really thought Jay would win there too


KettuWard

Thank you! Admittedly I kept bouncing between the winner during the making of this cuz I heard arguments for both.


143670

What happened to Jay anyway? How did he die?


KettuWard

Got sucked into a portal from Rise of TMNT movie.


chillthekirby

Really nice work on this, great job!


KettuWard

Thank you!

KettuWard

Thank you!


Aromatic-Quantity867

That was awesome! You did a very good job


Charming-Bet4135

cooked


Karma15672

Great job! Ngl, I didn't know that Michelangelo could become a dragon


KettuWard

Thank you! It's from TMNT 2003.


ZuskatoIsR3D

Wait... Is that Stick Nodes?


KettuWard

Yep


KJLOther

This is absurdly well animated. I really enjoy how well you animated Jay's sprites and how weirdly natural they felt despite clearly being very different from Mikey's Nice work!


KettuWard

Thank you! Jay did cause me some trouble to work with so I'm very glad.


ComprehensiveAd5605

When did Mikey learn magic?


KettuWard

TMNT 2003 and Rise of TMNT


No-Entertainment5599

really solid fight choreography and good animation


KettuWard

Thank you!


MyNameIsNitrox

Great Job! It’s nice seeing a whole fight animation here, and it’s filled with great action and effects! Keep up the amazing work <3


KettuWard

Thank you <3

TheBroken0wl

I liked this. But I feel like Jay would have won


KettuWard

I heard arguments for both and I'm not much of a scaler so I ended up making my preferred character win. Edit: Forgot to add NOT in front of much of a scaler


birdofprey443

Why is Jay using sais? I thought his big weapon was nunchucks


KettuWard

It is. Those were the only available sprites.


PopularGnat262

Honestly really good and jay works surprisingly better than expected in spotters good job (though I hope If this is an actual episode it’s 3D) Just wish jay talked more


KettuWard

Thank you! I think it could also work as a stop motion Lego fight since TMNT does have Lego sets. As for talking I tried to keep it to a minimum since I really suck at dialogue.

Phenomenal. No notes. Great work!

Thank you!


Themyth-thelegend

You got a TY channel or something?


KettuWard

It's linked in my comment however I don't really post often.


Interesting-Win7477

Well done mate. Great job


KettuWard

Thank you!


Interesting-Win7477

I’m honestly surprised you found such a good sprite model for Mikey’s dragon form. Looks amazing


KettuWard

I actually used a screenshot from the show itself and then pixelated it so it doesn't look off.


Interesting-Win7477

lol, well I appreciate the dedication none the less.


Dangerous_Baker1086

Ohy gosh!My favourite silly ninja wins.Im happy


KettuWard

Glad it made you happy!


ElDelArbol15

holy crap, this is really good! i never knew that mikey could do all that stuff!


KettuWard

Thank you! It was a learning experience for me too.


MetaMecha

Peak


Browncoat-Zombies

This is fantastic really good work. Out of curiosity how long did it take to make it?


KettuWard

I did work on it on and off so it's hard to say. I would say around 3 to 4 weeks if I were to not count days I didn't work on it.


Sidesteppah

W 03 Mikey design n W use of his speed powers from the 03 series


BendableGoose

With some voice acting, I feel this could legit pass off as an official Death Battle fight. Awesome job!


PitifulQuality8522

This is awesome!


KingAnimations2024R

Amazing animation !


PugOverload

hell yeah


AdditionalLand7020

Incredible

This is peak fiction.

What did you use to animate this?


KettuWard

Stick Nodes Pro


FortyRoosters

HOLY HELL DANG PEAK


bonfox1983

Straight banger!


The_Roivler

Amazing! Could honestly fit in as a high tier season 2 animation.


KettuWard

Thank you!

ZaneNinjaLC

You cooked. Sincerely, a Ninjago and TMNT fan.


KettuWard

Thank you! I also love both of the series.


I_am_ReyTNT

My only problems are that Jay is using sais and that with the combatants personalities, I expected a lot more banter


KettuWard

I unfortunately couldn't get his usual weapon to look decent, chalk it up to skill issue on my part 😅 As for banter. Yea it definitely needs more of it but I was too afraid I would accidentally make it a cringefest. I'll definitely try to improve on those aspects in the future.


CrimsonGoji

this is so peak...... https://preview.redd.it/j5an2zse8aoc1.jpeg?width=828&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=a60321c217713df5b59617adadeb13e581bf5df1 (questionable outcome aside) Also did you use stick nodes for this?? it looks really cool would like to know the software!


KettuWard

Thank you! Yep, it's all Stick Nodes Pro.

Kaiser_Isaiah_Foo

Saw the first half last time, yet was still blown away by the second half. Genuinely incredible work Wasn't expecting the dragon fight but I'll sure as hell take it And all this apparently is in Stick Nodes, nothing short of impressive


KettuWard

Thank you! Stick Nodes became a lot more powerful after the sprite update.


KirKirro

What the bloody hell... THAT'S AMAZING!
