Trying my hand at everyone's favorite Action News Reporter!
I intend for this to be a joint project between me and our very own COTM Winner DJ HANNIBALROYCE (https://mugenguild.com/forum/index.php?action=profile;u=81441). I'm still spriting her basics at the moment but I came up with a few early sprites that I'd like to share with you all. this thread is to update you guys on my progress and for general open discussion for any move suggestions, cameos, or anything you guys would like to see in the character going forward. Or if anyone's got any old artwork box-scans or classic TMNT gems they'd like to contribute, post it here and as always, thanks for your time.

Wow man! I didn't expect you would be doing April O'Neil! May the best of luck to both you 2!
I was expecting Rocksteady or Casey Jones but April would be interesting. My only question is will the gameplay be similar to your other TMNT chars or will it have the over the top style Royce's chars usually have
Interesting. Let's see how she goes with the Turtles and the bad guys.
Wow! Interesting. Good luck to you

Yeah, I was thinking about going with either of them too, but thought that April needed some respect. I've always been a fan of jumpsuit April and really wanted to see her converted for MUGEN. After seeing Merso-x's excellent Rescue-Palooza game and how he has her use the microphone as a whip attack I was inspired!

I want April to play as a sort of mix of both of our respective styles. Personally I really like to focus on combo-heavy gameplay, with lots of juggles and all that. But I wanted to give her some seamless full-screen "News Report" type specials & supers. My skill-set with coding those immersive hyper attacks is severely lacking in my opinion, so I sought out DJ HANNIBAL ROYCE for that department and he's graciously agreed to help bring April O'Neil to life for MUGEN.
I've been an admirer of Royce's work and the really unique approach to gameplay he always takes is just pure creativity. All the quirks and surprises they bring to things should offer much more appeal to this project than if I were going it alone. Plus Royce's AI coding is stellar, and that's always been another of my weak spots lo these many years.
Together I hope we can make a great April O'Neil character that has some classic callbacks, Royce's interactive moveset/ Over the Top Supers combined with solid combo potential you've come to expect from an arcade TMNT creation! Still need to compile the .SFF and really get things going here, the color seperation is doing me in a bit... stay tuned.
Nice to see an actual April, who is April !

So, was the other April too Blaze-ish? I do agree on Dcat, only we get is the fighter April from the Genesis and as a support in the other TMNT games.
Yooooo this is exciting. Seeing you and Royce work together is something I never knew I wanted until now. Veey excited for this project Dcat, can't wait to see how crazy her supers will be with Royce's coding skills. She'll definitely be an insane character no doubt.
This looks really cool! Good luck on your project! I guess you can always do a move involving a news van running someone over or maybe even incorporating that intro where the statue of liberty is stolen (maybe have it dropped on the opponent or something) wishing you all the best with this!
Here's some images I hope that can help, ideas from the action figures and the intro I mentioned from Turtles in Time

Dcat and DJHR working together is a sight to behold. And we're getting another awesome TMNT character as well.
For April's moveset, using the gun and shurikens her figure came with is a good concept, but she could definitely use her fan from the 2012 series.

I've been trying to update/fix-up my initial sprite edits from her cameo in my Shredder character. But I've found that I've needed to resize her for the full character and completely overhaul some things. Hopefully it'll be familiar enough to read as '87 cartoon April
Quote from: GTAAlso, nice to see to get attention of April. You have good taste. I guess Rocksteady can wait, unless you make a echo fighter of Bebop (lol).
Anyway, on April. We can't forget the many incarnation of Aprils in other TMNT universe. So, why not give her different clothing on her intro or in her win pose. Like the way Morrigan does that. Her special moves based on the TMNT Fighting Sega Game.
That's a great idea! there's so many different Aprils, to choose from.
Yeah I have some ideas for Rocksteady. just thought that April needed to get rolling before attempting him since there's far fewer base sprites available for her from the source games. I have a general direction for where I wanna go with Rocksteady but I needed a bit more help with idea engineering for April, and thought it best to start getting some ideas down for her.
My dream goal is to possibly make as many characters as possible (April, Rocksteady, Casey Jones, & Splinter included) so I could one day put 'em all in a big complete fighter like what Kamekaze did with TMNT x Justice League. The trend in mugen seems to be full-game fighter packs.
Wishing you good luck on completing all your goals for future characters as well! I know it doesn't necessarily apply to your characters but if you did decide to include a Midnight Bliss animation, you can probably even reserve one of her various looks for that as well, otherwise just the variable intros would be great. I don't think it would help much but you might get some ideas for animations from the Smash-Up game although that's a different version, but maybe some katana based moves would be a nice nod to that iteration of her
I CANNOT WAIT! Dcat and I are gonna go crazy!!! hehehehehehehehehehehehehhe
She could swing her mic in simillar fashion to relento rotates his baton.
Y'all don't even know how hyped I am to see April in the MUGEN community. Congrats to both of y'all.
Classic April always showed aptitude for driving and operating heavy machinery so I'd love to see her utilizing the News Van, News bike, and News helicopter in her specials.

This is good kinda like a horizontal spin attack that does multi-hit. Ooh like Jojo's clacker attack. and she could maybe get a bit acrobatic with it like a baton or ribbon twirler. Varied button presses for different strengths kinda like Fei-Long's Rekka Fist in Street Fighter, Yes!

I've got some screencaps of her purple NewsBike from an episode where they introduce Casey Jones I think

I like this idea of using the Turtle Van as well. Maybe a super that utilizes that intro screen of her driving the van with turtles in the reflection of the driver's side-window. I'll have the van hit the enemy then cut to a splash screen of April smirking while the opponent flies off into the air hurt in the side mirror reflection.

Maybe give her a super from the TMNT cartoon when she was evil https://youtu.be/s4exK1hg04I at around the 1:47 mark she'll glow blue and will shoot lightning across the stage.

Great start! Besides "Casey Jones: Outlaw Hero," other episodes I remember that feature the News Bike are "Burne's Blues" (briefly), "Mr. Nice Guy" (she looks really cool in that one), and "Attack of Big MACC" (doesn't wear her safety helmet in that one).

There is a classic toon parallel of evil energy-blasting April, seen in the "Lost Queen of Atlantis" episode where April wears a mystic cult gem which makes her believe she is an ancient Atlantis Queen and gives her all the powers associated with the title:

Hey, here's an overkill idea...
April riding her newsbike and swinging her mic cord around like Ghost Rider!

I like it, Ghostrider seems like a good character to look at for some of her specials the chain lashing combos he does are pretty insane!

Will you use her voice in any of the attacks, sort of like the Kirby mic ability/Sindel's scream attacks, or some kind of attack where let's say she starts at a 0 level news rating but after combos her news ratings go up, and this could in turn work sort of like Frank West's ability in how they handled him in MVC3 with the combo/camera system. Where if you happened to reuse some of the same sprites but either better reach/equipment, that way if there are some extra ideas you can implement them into the upgrades.
You could probably incorporate some scratch based super as well, like Wolverine? just some thoughts, new attacks look great!
(https://www.shadowlordinc.com/media/T/TMNT/aprilprowlsplinter.jpg)
^ I like this idea for the news rating... but I've never really been good at nerf-ing characters though. If it was something where she wasn't utterly useless without the specific certain parameters being met, it sounds like a good idea. Saw a tutorial on Frank West and it said that everything from his attack range to his jump distance was restricted based on the leveling system, it could add for some complexity though. And a departure from my other characters since I don't really do secret move gauges or power charging...
Got a new attack done inspired by Mariah from JoJo + my spinning mic variant
(https://i.ibb.co/yBV6Wf5/DCAT-APRIL-ATTACK-011.gif) (https://i.ibb.co/0DM3dRM/DCAT-APRIL-ATTACK-012.gif)
a peek at the color seperation
(https://i.ibb.co/hFLjH5n/DCAT-APRIL-ATTACK-012.gif)
It would definitely be up to you to determine how complex, I don't know if it would need to be as involved, maybe just affecting the range/strength but if you were down to see how it would be with experimenting how it would affect other parameters like maybe attack speed, jumps, wall/floor bounces for combo extension, and such like with Frank at least it gives you room to mess around with.
You could potentially have it so that she, like Frank would start from lowest level and progressively move towards the highest, or, just have it work kind of like the style meters in DMC where she actively has to stay in combat to maintain her level, or she progressively loses it for playing too defensively, or just for getting hit, so it rewards maybe more of an aggressive play style? I think there's definitely potential

I would love some Cat Mutant April references! Maybe she gets a "super mutant" state for a few seconds and calls in a tiger to assist her like in the episode?
(https://i.imgur.com/rAI5cGxl.png)
Better to make her look like nice-looking April from Tournament Fighters Game

Example
(https://i.ibb.co/VNKVQDV/mugen004a.png) (https://ibb.co/1nSZdKZ)
Wow, that CS is looking very good. I didn't think she would be able to get something with very many options. Looking forward to see what pals get made for her. I like the idea of a mic leveling system, though not the mutant cat thing. To the best of my knowledge, that was just a one off episode. It'd be a very obscure reference overall. It's also not something she could do at will, it just happened.
I do like the idea of using the Turtles van, or even her own Channel 6 vehicles for supers. The leveling mic mechanic wouldn't have to be as involved/complex as Frank West's. It could be just directly linked with her mic specials and super(s). You can even make a nice play on the system, calling it like: "News Ratings". Giving it a lighter cap too. Like 3-5 being the max.
The higher the level, the more powerful her mic specials/supers can be. Like for example, that mic whip attack you referenced to from the Rescue Palooza game. The higher her rating level, the more damage and reach that attack could gain.
Yeah I think in general, the idea of having some extra sprites you can toss in as references for the variations would be neat. Possibly even affecting her win screen, where if she ends on a different rating you can get a better victory animation where she's more celebratory or upset depending on what her final rating is when she wins the fight. I think it would be a nice thing to play around with for sure. I don't think it should be as complicated as Frank's either, but as I said I don't know if it should be a consistent thing myself, where her ratings level would stay, or have it rewarded/removed based on playing more offensively or defensively, I'm not a character creator myself but I genuinely want to see what this turns out to be.
I like what we have so far. Given that a coloring book was given a wink to for Krang's crossbow, maybe look into some of the accessories from her variant action figures for moves? I think some of them would look pretty neat. I like the ideas posted so far.

I've started very basic coding for him. Might not be up to my regular snuff with this one. The spritework takes a lot of time, but way easier then April.
Man you've given us TMNT, Shredder, Krang, Bebop... you're like half way or more done with April and now Splinter good stuff bro
Once Splinter is done, if you knock out Rocksteady, Casey Jones and finish April you have your own mini TMNT game
Cool! I like his sprites so far. The shading on his motion blurs and feet could be adjusted, though. They look a bit pillow shaded now.

Based off of all your other creations, I'm sure this is going to be really good as well, even if you say he may not be up to your normal snuff. That's TBD.

cleaning up splinter to send back to you! I cant wait to get these sprites! WOW
That spin looks so elegant! I'd say you're still at the top of your spriting game, dcat!
Kinda funny to think about semi-pacifist Splinter with moves as brutal as a neck snap, but I'm not complaining!
Elegant but lethal! Got a dash chop coming up!

One thing I might recommend is making Splinter's snout a little longer and slightly droopy in side profiles like the bow, to keep him more "on model" and look a bit less like a dog. It's not a noticeable problem in most attacks, but for something like the bow, it would be a good opportunity to try and match it up. Maybe tilt the ears back a bit too in the full standing position.

They're a pretty good team, I know. Call them "Team Manhattan", much like "Team Z2" and "Team SMRT" in the past.

wow Leonardos signature spin, so mustve learned it from the Master himself...
I just had a dream like 2 weeks ago about Splinter and now i see that Splinter is being made.. no joke
cant wait
I've already send these quotes for Splinter.
Quote
"There is no monster more dangerous than a lack of compassion."
"I do not wish to fight. But cast a stone into the lake, and the ripples will return to you."
"If you look for happiness outside of yourself, you'll never find it. Happiness exists only within you."
"If you think too much about what is coming, you will lose sight of what is. You must be fully in the moment so you can fight without thinking."
Vs. Leo:
"There are no excuses when you are the leader, my son."
Vs. Ralph:
"Your own anger defeats you from the inside out."
Vs. Don:
"A wise ninja does not seek out an enemy who he does not fully understand."
Vs. Mike:
"It is not the student place to say when a lesson is learned. The student place is to listen and learn."
Vs. Shredder:
"Death comes for us all, Oroku Saki, but something much worse comes for you. For when you die, it will be without honor."
Vs. Krang:
"Its remarkable what one can do, when one is forced to."
Vs. Bebop:
"Running into battle without knowledge or preparation is foolish. Sometimes it is best to sit still. The answers will come."
Vs. Rocksteady:
"Technology is a means, not and end. It is you who must prevail in battle, not your weapon."
GTA i already said we got the quotes under control. we do appreciate the help but let us do our magic and if we hit a bump, we will gladly ask for help. <3
I added some win-quotes with the last update, Thanks GTA
Quote from: oldmanwinters;Very nice, dcat!
Let me recommend as a creative reference, the episode "The Sword of Yurikawa" (Season 6) where Splinter uses an ancient Japanese sword, which takes on special powers in the hands of the righteous, and emits a flaming glow:

Hey guys I've decided to publicly share the progress for Rocksteady now. He's got a few basic attacks, and most of his gethits but I ran into trouble with getting his palette working properly. Hopefully somebody out there wants to complete the character and do a full release one day. I included a spritesheet, Sound file & alternate palettes if you can get them to work and be applied to the character properly. Rocksteady Open Source is GO!

Hello Dcat,
How you doing? I see you release for a opensource of Rocksteady, a bit sooner than the previous releases. I understand that our lifes are different than usual. But what's the world has unforseen circumstances. Back to the topic, I've made the portraits for Rocksteady. You can choose what portrait is the best.
(https://i.imgur.com/7m4kJxS.png)
Just like Splinter, this is a tough one. I think 4 is the best i made. You're the man and you may choose what you like.
Good luck,
GTA.

I so love playing Rocksteady, and it has been so long, since you started making Mugen chars, and now we get a Rocksteady, and very soon, a Splinter, which I am VERY excited for, good luck, on getting on out soon, thanks.
I also have a super attack idea, for Splinter, its similiar to the Turtles "Body Slam" attack, but he body slams 3 times, and then throws you in the air, and then Pressure Points you, the pressure point is a reference, to 2012 splinter, when he'd pressure point literally everyone, and they;d be stunned, or just straight up knocked out.

In the cartoon, Splinter always walked with a stick, will your character have stick hits/specials?
(https://www.meme-arsenal.com/memes/68769adaa5139ff0e6d3df9ea4385d3b.jpg)
Nice work so far. Only the walk sprites seems to be off compared to his stand animation. He shrinks a bit while walking. But that's just me seeing the other sprites are no problem.

Happened to find some Splinter voice clips here (https://www.sounds-resource.com/playstation_2/teenagemutantninjaturtles2003/) and here (https://www.sounds-resource.com/wii/tmntsmashup/), the former from the 2003 PS2 game and the latter from Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles: Smash-Up.
Both sets of voice clips are mono and in WAV format, by the way.
Thanks for these! We'll be using them!

In the cartoon, Splinter always walked with a stick, will your character have stick hits/specials?
Sorry but I chose to omit his walking stick in the character. But there's a youtube user named Tortugas Ninja Argentina (https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCmmeYvKvPZWe7PGyz_pFDIg) who's working on a Splinter with stick character:

Nice work so far. Only the walk sprites seems to be off compared to his stand animation. He shrinks a bit while walking. But that's just me seeing the other sprites are no problem.
I've been cleaning up some anims and improving some of the early sprites

OLD NEW
Quote from: oldmanwinters on January 19, 2021, 02:49:44 AM
One thing I might recommend is making Splinter's snout a little longer and slightly droopy in side profiles like the bow, to keep him more "on model" and look a bit less like a dog. It's not a noticeable problem in most attacks, but for something like the bow, it would be a good opportunity to try and match it up. Maybe tilt the ears back a bit too in the full standing position.

This character is a fully collaborative effort on behalf of DJ Hannibal Royce and myself. We're working on it together the whole way through. He's currently working on updating the AI :D
I'm still looking for classic 1987 Splinter or CG Nickelodeon or Rise Of the TMNT voice clips now. Preferrably Monaural WAV Sound Clips. If any of you could recommend a free sound editing program to use that'd be great too.

That really is a great find! I had no idea the first Konami game based off the 4Kids cartoon had been fully audio ripped!
Dcat, make sure you don't miss the Splinter voice clips that are interspersed in the game's "Story" folder. It's a good source for additional clips for 4Kids era Turtles, April, Casey Jones, Shredder, and Baxter Stockman!
You could look into Audacity, although I don't know all to do there. FL Studio also has a unlimited time trial here : https://www.image-line.com/fl-studio-download/ and it's official.
Awesome job, wacho!
I've been tweaking and finetuning the gameplay and coding some new intros and winposes with the Turtles. Stay tuned
Quote from: Dcat on July 21, 2021, 01:38:18 AM
Stay tuned
Got my dial set to your channel and waiting for the broadcast to start, haha!
Hey Dcat, how you doing dude? How's the progress on Master Splinter and April O' Neil? Is it going well? By the way if you didn't know there is a upcoming TMNT game called "Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles: Shredder's Revenge" and April is a playable character. If your looking for move references this could be helpful. Also she apparently borrows some moves from characters in Street Fighter Alpha series. Here's the links for a visual understanding

OMG! That mic drop. DCAT, please add that as a win animation. Maybe even a last round win animation...
There's also the recent Nick All-Star Brawl though I'm not sure if any of the moves from that game's Leo, Mikey, and April are completely new and 'exclusive' to that game let alone if they'd be worthy additions, at least in regards to April. The base TMNT aren't getting moveset changes I assume.
Hey Dcat :) if you need that tiny robot from TNMT games who shoot eletric wire you can find it here
http://fanaticmugen.free.fr/index.php?section=chars#tmnt4
Maybe you can tweak him to make that wire to tight turtles just like in games.
For whatever reason, my brain is trained to visit this thread late December expecting major news. Hope the new year finds you well, dcat!
Hey guys, don't worry I haven't forgotten you all just been going through a lot of transitions since I released Bebop. I still plan on updating Splinter with sprites from Shredder's Revenge and completing Rocksteady. Please be patient I'll never turn my back on the Mugen community, I love making stuff for you guys too much, rest assured I've got some pretty epic plans going forward, stay tuned...
Great to see you back Dcat! The timing is good too, as I've been getting into a bit of a TMNT kick lately. ^^
Don't worry DCAT! We'll be patient and wait for any news
I think I must have missed the notification when you last posted here, dcat, but it's always good to hear from you and hope you are doing well. If you ever do post some new updates on your characters, I'd be most delighted!
Hey guys my hiatus is going longer than I expected, I'm trying to get my hands on a computer. In the meantime I've been making some sprites on my phone of my next WIP
It's the Warrior Alchemist himself, Baron Draxum!

These are just a sample of the sprites I've been able to come up with since I got this paint app for my phone last week. I'll try to work on him everyday and keep you guys updated. If anyone could animate his idle pose (1st sprite) so that he's breathing i would greatly appreciate it. Draxum has TONS of different move ideas canonically so doing his various specials and supers is gonna be a blast, stay tuned

Baron Draxum is the main antagonist from Rise of the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles. On top of being a skilled hand to hand combatant, his power set includes mystic vine manipulation, telekinesis, teleportation, and even Golem creation. The nature of his abilities really lends itself to tons of move ideas.
I still plan on doing an April but using the Shredder's Revenge sprites as a base

I know it's way easier when you have ready made base sprites to work from, but I'd still love to have your own distinctive April (and Splinter!) to better match the Hyperstone Heist Turtles. I'd even be happy to help you crowdfund it, giving a little here and there.
Maybe you can make use of the Shredder's Revenge style for some in-between frames?

Baron Draxum's got tons of moves like that; civilian/lunchroom type attacks and mystical yokai based attacks too. The ideas I have for his moveset is really huge. I just hope I can make enough sprites to do him justice in Mugen

Then it hit me! I had a comic back in the days!

BTW... His weapon of choice is a sword (https://cerebus.fandom.com/wiki/Cerebus%27_sword), not an axe. Even in the TMNT crossover he wields a sword.
Yeah I gave him a sword at first but I thought it'd be redundant with Leonardo and Usagi using swords. I plant on making a TMNT full game and I wanted him to be distinct from the other sword wielders so I went in a Golden Axe direction
Ah, I see.
I personally don't see it that way.
Different weapons (two katanas, a katana and a wakizashi, while Cerebus is using a european short sword) and different sword fighting styles.
Anyway, I really enjoy your sprites of Cerebus. Keep up the great work!

Hey guys back with another update ever since the release of Shredder's Revenge I planned on doing a Splinter character using those sprites as a base. I finally got my hands on em and I can begin the overhaul of my Splinter WIP.
First things first I dramatically resized the base sprites so that they'll work for MUGEN, this is the most time consuming part of the process but I finished Splinter's idle animation frames

Yeah that's the inspiration, a classic ninja move
Here's Splinter's transformation from the old '87 toon intro. If someone could convert this to pixel art it'd be a great help
(https://i.ibb.co/SwkR5PY0/splintertransformframes.png)
Woo-hoo! A Christmas present come early to see new progress on your Splinter project, dcat!
(Maybe there's still hope for your April O'Neil down the line too)
I understand the logic of using the Shredder's Revenge spritesheet as the new base, but I do hope you'll retain many of the distinctive specials and techniques from your earlier Splinter build. I loved all the over-the-top flair that DJ_HANNIBALROYCE contributed.
And I guess I have a fondness for that Konami TiT-HyperstoneHeist look that your previous TMNT characters all have. Maybe if he still has a few frames that show off his 16-bit head/face, it would give that vibe a bit more.
As far as the cutscene conversion, you could probably commission Merso X for help if you can't find anybody here. Here's done several pixel-art conversions for his TMNT game projects.
Hey oldmanwinters nice to see you again. I'm sort of doing a hybrid here. I'm using the Shredders Revenge art style to update my existing sprites. I'm utilizing the old attacks from the beta in addition to the melee options from the game plus some new moves. I've enlarged the sprites and edited them so they don't have that black outline around them; this should make Splinter fit better with my other MUGEN characters

Hey, glad you see you're back into the Splinter progress. with a revamp version no less using Shredder's Revenge Sprites.
Just a question to ask, have you gotten a new PC?
Will you add from "Shredder's Revenge" the bite attack and the "Turtles in Time" typical Fourth Wall throw?
Spoiler (click to show)
(https://i.imgur.com/Zd75AzS.gif)(https://i.imgur.com/aB816mw.gif)
Yeah I've been wanting to update him since the game came out. Been brainstorming and sketching new attacks in my notebook, it's literally years of planning have gone into this character, same with Baron Draxum.
Unfortunately no I don't have a computer at the moment, I've been making sprites on a paint application on my phone. Seeing all the new MUGEN content the community's been making gave me the itch to get back into character creation even if I don't have all the resources available right now.
And yes, he'll have ALL of the attacks from the game in addition to my custom edited moves, I just need to resize the sprite rips from Shredder's Revenge and that takes a long while to do it pixel by pixel

Welcome back! Can't wait for Splinter! I gotta scroll back pages or do a Google search to see if there's anything I missed. I know I had the 4 turtles but I lost track on if bebop and rocksteady were done. I gotta remember if April and Casey were your WIP or someone else's

The Turtles are quite finished. Bebop in beta, but playable.
Rocksteady is far from being completed.
April was in progress, but canned.
Don't know about Casey.
I might reconsider doing April once I finish Baron Draxum and Master Splinter, I still have tons of ideas for an April O'Neil moveset... Don't worry I still haven't forgotten about Rocksteady just gotta hammer out the rest of these wips first. Thanks for the interest in my projects guys, I appreciate it.

Man, I really enjoy watching your sprites for Master Splinter.
Since you already sprited a Wall Cling, will you give him a Wall Jump/Triangle Jump/Sankaku Tobi? Dunno, I feel like it would fit him.
The wall jump will be present in Splinter Sankaku Tobi, I might do it similar to how I have it in my Skate Hunter character or I could develop something new. The triangle jump sounds interesting that's one of those advanced techniques I was never able to pull off in MvC2. Is that a super jump cancelled into an air dash?
I think this video explains it a little but I need to know what it is and how it functions in order to code it into the character. Can you explain it to me?
https://youtu.be/JnDyRnvOtEM?si=hMo3--FMMNklr2-R
Nice to read that Splinter will get a wall jump.
Naw, didn't mean VS style Tri-Jump (https://glossary.infil.net/?t=Tri-Jump).
Triangle Jump is just another name for the Wall Jump/Sankaku Tobi.
Oh okay, gotcha

By the way, I don't know what the kanji in the second sprite means it was a screenshot from 2012 series that I drew over does anyone know a translation or the context?
According to Gemini:
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kuji-in#Kuji-kiri_(cutting_the_nine_syllables)
I won't try to paste its explanation because it's pretty elaborate and there's no "official" translation for it. But usually characters use if for protective spells.
You know, I've been lurking this thread but never got to post in it. So I want to say I'm looking forward to the char. Your older chars are great.
Wow, thanks PoTS, your creations are legendary so that means a lot coming from you thanks bud.

I have a beta of him with old, non Shredders Revenge sprites. Right now I don't have access to a PC so I can't code. I usually like to work on the sprites as I code and just sprite the new moves or frames I need. But this Splinter has been a WIP of mine for awhile, same with Baron Draxum. I've been sketching and laying out the attacks in my notebooks and then I map out how I want the character to play.
Right now I only have my phone so I've been front loading with sprite work first that way when I get my PC I have tons of options for moves and combo progression, good question

Also a pressure point attack

I really like that pressure point attack.
There is another move in the game. Higher Plane. Splinter can buff his allies.
Spoiler (click to show)

Dunno about buffing, but maybe you could use the animation - Splinter balancing on his staff and meditating.
I know he has a meditation animation in the Shredders Revenge game.
Maybe you can use that "on top of the staff meditation" as another taunt or win animation.

I still haven't settled on a play style for him yet. I want the vine constructs to be utilized heavily since that's how he was in the show but the Devils claw and Gauntlets and battle ladles need to be incorporated as well

Very cinematic!
Finally finished his Shock sprite

Very nice. Any ideas for his frozen or Transformed state?
I plan to use Teddy Barry for the Retromutation state
Okay so I noticed I've got some crazy inconsistent sizes on a lot of the sprites. I'm gonna refine and edit the existing sprites in addition to adding some new attacks here's the first batch of my refined Draxum sprites:

EX special Ivy Spiker also included the vine construct for his Vineyard Knuckle Special, I'm thinking something like Hayatos Blodia punch from Marvel Vs Capcom
(https://i.ibb.co/XZ2VGbjJ/draxumivyspiker.png)
Baron Draxum moveset so far...
SPECIALS:
Vine Whip
Reaper's Weed- a Mystic vine saw blade construct projectile that travels on the ground.
Ivy Cudgel - Draxum projects two vines from his hands and swings them as he spins in midair.
Ivy Spiker- Draxum pokes opponent with thorny overgrowth
Vineyard Knuckle- Blodia Punch
Killing Field - Draxum summons a tidal wave of vines like MvC Venom Lick super
SUPERS:
Battle Ladles of Justice! - Draxums Lunch lady moveset
Collossal Vine Pillar - Giant Vertical tree rises from the floor, opponent is hit by the pillar and carried upward at the apex Draxum teleports midair so you can air combo after
(https://i.ibb.co/99XzRKpQ/draxummystictree.png)
Mystic Mulcher - Giant Mystic Vine chainsaw construct
(https://i.ibb.co/CKSbSKKm/mysticmulcher.png)
HYPERS:
Harvest Golem - Draxum summons his Golem to fight alongside him. I ripped the Golem sprites from a Rise of the TMNT videogame clip on YouTube, I plan to draw over it in paint so he's not 3d
(https://i.ibb.co/LhBHD1Yt/Golemidle000.png)
Philosopher's Stone an alchemy based attack still deciding on this one...
That's a bit of my thought process for Draxum, these ideas have been bouncing around in my head for a while so it's good to put em down here
(https://i.ibb.co/Rk4t38CX/draxumresized007.png)
(https://i.ibb.co/nN3RMvMN/draxumbiggarms.png)
Draxum got himself a pair of Hulk Hands!
New Bolo type normal crouching attack
(https://i.ibb.co/bR50VhLf/draxumvinewhipbolo.png)
The table flip attack, hehe. Nice work.
More poses plus Oozesquitoes!!
(https://i.ibb.co/JWZ4v4Ly/draxumoozesquitoes.png)

Looks like his hit box range will be sizeable with those hulky mits!
Quote from: oldmanwinters on July 18, 2026, 03:44:36 PMLooks like his hit box range will be sizeable with those hulky mits!
Yeah I'm still deciding on whether to have the hulk hands be on a timer or just incorporate it seamlessly into his regular combo strings
(https://i.ibb.co/4RtYhCgk/draxumthrow.png)
amazing sprites, love your tmnt chars
Thanks, I'm trying my best to deliver quality
Here's some more Draxum Air Kicks
(https://i.ibb.co/HpbN7CMq/draxumairkicks.png)
Has he ever delivered a typical horse-kick?
Spoiler (click to show)
(https://media1.tenor.com/m/zebaiSsNhMMAAAAC/janestree.gif)(https://media1.tenor.com/m/MH45Td-8F8kAAAAC/horse-poke.gif)
He's never done a horse kick in the show, I might make an attack like that
(https://i.ibb.co/1fM9dC2N/draxumairattacks.png)
(https://i.ibb.co/N6k8nktT/draxumearthbending01.png)
Did some more custom edits for Splinter
(https://i.ibb.co/b5swPHG6/dcatsplintercustomedits.png)
Splinter still has my full attention.
Nice work.
Man, those Splinter sprites are looking great. Draxum too. Still can't believe you did some of the Draxum work on your phone.
Keep up the good work.

Yeah very impressive been waiting on Splinter since the bebop and rocksteady betas. I like the work on Draxum too I just never watched the show he came from. Had to Google who he was when I started seeing his sprites take priority lol

Yeah a lot of the poses for Draxum started as doodles in my sketchbook about a year before I converted them into digital sprites. I'm planning on getting a new PC pretty soon so I can get to the nitty gritty of character creation. Until then editing sprites on the phone comes in pretty clutch in a pinch.

Yeah Draxum has to be one of my favorite additions to the TMNT lore of the past decade. His origin being tied to the Turtles makes his face turn hit hard. Plus his power set is ripe for a fighting game moveset(chlorokinesis, Earthbending, portals, vine constructs, golem summoning)
Here's a few more Draxum sprites
(https://i.ibb.co/7dn1wtdn/draxumvarious4.png)
New Bebop Hyper portrait inspired by Robert Jennex's art

Does my cholesterol-enriched heart good to see some new Bebop content from you, dcat!
Interesting to see the sprite style change. I remember when you first started this project. Definitely much better sprites now o.o
Question!! I don't know if you plan on doing this or not, but you ever plan on doing like say...Aska at all?? o.o?

I definitely need more female characters so she's not outside the realm of possibilities. I wanna do April O'Neil first though
I still need to code a Hyper move for Bebop using the Turtle Tenderizer monster truck, stay tuned
Bebop sighting!
I forgot, did you ever work on Rocksteady? I just remember the unfinished Bebop and I think April sprites
Is it just me or are all of my image links gone, wondering if they still appear for other people
Nevermind, I see them now.yikes that gave me a scare there
QuoteNevermind, I see them now.yikes that gave me a scare there
For me take a whole year to load these images.
BTW awesome work.
Been busy on a new challenger, Casey Jones!!!
edited the Shredders Revenge sprites with some color separation also changed them a bit to fit with my TMNT characters style.
