Tim Fox, animation director and illustrator in London: “I received so impressed by the discharge of the TMNT: Mutant Mayhem trailer final week I known as up my pal illustrator/artist Dan Crossan and stated we HAD to do a tribute. The trailer jogged my memory how the Ninja Turtles had been part of my life rising up so I made a decision to place my very own spin on them.
“I took this chance to experiment extra with an animated manga look and take a look at a number of extra methods. Specifically, the stepped animation look, which is that staccato in-betweeny look. Type of a easy approach with a terrific end result.
“Characters and environments are all inbuilt 3D, FX is 2D, and for the primary time, I used MidJourney to create the sky. A helpful little time-saving approach there, regardless that it wanted some hand-drawn changes, and I additionally had this bizarre guilt whereas I used to be doing it.
“That is completely a non-commercial, private venture with no affiliation to the precise TMNT sadly.”
