No Longer You (Rise of the TMNT Animatic)

Three long months of me procrastinating getting this thing done, but now it's finally here so I can move on to other projects lol.
Context for y'all who were confused:
Several years later, Casey is grown and accompanies Leo to see Mikey to see if the vision he saw years ago had changed after Donnie's death. Mikey, while being possessed by the spirits of the Hamato Clan, tells them that the prophecy has not changed. They still see things out of context and all assume, including Casey, that Casey betrays his family and Sensei to live. (again, they are all seeing the events from the beginning of the movie out of context.)

The funny thing is, “I see a world where I help you get home” is almost too literal.

[@ashleydean8895]

Our only hope ... Cass's AU

[@arccedar1132]

the absolute devastation on casey's face when realizes he will be alone

[@Atziri-n9b]

Ni me lo digan

[@charlie256Gacha_kid]

I literally stayed hypnotized during my first watch, like- mouth open, not even singing, which is very unusual for me xd

[@player1playz287]

Never thought I would see tmnt along with epic the musical, first time for everything 😃👍

[@DevilSpade]

it happened several times before

[@aikomatoriona]

Even Heishi herself has done this with a different song.

[@TorgKuman]

@@DevilSpadeyeah,it’s weirdly frequent enough to the point where it’s considered to be it’s own category now…

[@severalightning6350]

gorgeous, just, absolutely stunning work, love every moment. The aesthetic of Mikey's magic is so nice, and I love just how resigned to it all Leo is until he realizes Casey's in danger, how much Casey is fighting it, hoping that he/they can change it

[@daflangstlairde4132]

I adore all the expressions and the body language, I looove the detail of Casey being the one to sing Odysseus' lyrics while Leo stands stoic and then he suddenly lashes out at the image of his past self; and the ending with all the colors rushing in and the composition and !!!!! This is FANTASTIC it is BEAUTIFULLL

[@thermalnuclearwar]

well thats incredible. I love Leo mostly just accepting it while Casey says this _cannot_ be what happens

[@nataliekaban747]

As a person who loved your first Horse and the Infant animatic and a big fan of EPIC and ROTTMNT, this is absolutely amazing!

[@RandomCerealArt]

I'm going ballistic right now HOW DID I JUST SEE THIS???? OH MY GOD????? I LOVE THIS SO MUCH YOU DON'T EVEN KNOW

[@lolalemon4787]

BRO I JUST FOUND THIS!

[@RoriHeere]

Holy shit... I'm completely speechless. The interpretation of the song, the animation, the parallels, the split dialogue between Leo and Junior. (With him getting most, but the last line going to Leo just hits so hard omg). Great work, this is amazing!

[@Mary_Studios]

So I know that this is Mikey not undeerstanding what he's seeing but I've thought of two other things A Brother's final stand could mean here. Leo fighting the Krang alone in the Prison Dimension as he believes that's the end for him. Or the fight that Leo and Ralph have when Ralph has been taken over by the Krang.

[@nateisking3347]

Actual chills at the first brothers final stand bit

[@Kayla-t8q9o]

my mouth was truly just hanging open the whole time- and literal chills when leo yelled the WHO! this was AMaZING

[@TorgKuman]

There’s a surprisingly amount of rottmnt and epic animatics to where it could be considered it’s own category now…

[@dylan_colon_three]

[@izzyviol3tss]

Didn't get to watch this earlier, but now I have! Once again, I am absolutely impressed and amazed at how good your animatics are! (and art style! I still love it sm) You managed to get me good on the feels too (these turtles, man). Also, I like what you did here with the visuals (and how it matches greatly with the lyrics), the idea of them misunderstanding everything too, ouch!

[@abigailduffin146]
