Hey y'all, I'm Em J, an ace storyboard artist (in both senses) and a digital illustrator with a love for the dramatic and whimsical! I'm currently developing my thesis "Tombmates".

This Bluesky will be more focused on silly things, but my professional work can be found @ emjsewell.myportfolio.com πŸŒ™
A nonbinary humanoid goat with a blue messy ponytail and a large bright rose-red/pink sweater leans over a laptop computer that is decorated with stickers; these include a pink sticker with an abstract pony outlined head representing Twilight Sparkle, an asexual flag, and an abstract triangular sticker broken by clear lines to represent the logo of the company LAIKA.

This past week, I've been working on a fun shot of President Mandy for the ongoing Billy and Mandy Underfist Reanimated Project; this part of the process was in rough animation territory, but I've made lots of progress since and can't wait to share it soon! πŸ’€πŸ’–

Happy belated Global Cat Day to those who celebrate! It's been nice to hang out with my family cats post-grad, and like the figure on The Star tarot card I too have become their water bearer. Guess being an Aquarius comes in handy?

I've come to make an announcement: starting October 8th, I will be sharing my art processing and video gaming every Wednesday on Twitch! If you'd like to peek behind the curtain, now's your chance!

Did You Know?

Last year, I worked on a collaborative animated short film called "Alien YU-RI", and it's available now for public viewing! It was seriously so fun to grow as a team and make something awesome βœ¨πŸ›ΈπŸ³οΈβ€πŸŒˆ

Yippee yippee! I'm wrapping up the boards for my thesis, which leave editing aaaand...MARKETING WOO! I've started on the poster and uh,,, yeah it's going πŸ¦‡πŸ’– (W.I.P)
A rough sketch of two people sitting back-to-back with abstracted sad expressions and streams of tears running down their face. The woman on the left is shorter, supporting herself on the dark pink grass below with her hands and looking up towards the sky. The person on the right sits taller, eyes closed and head tilted down towards the ground. They sit with mouths open as if singing, illuminated by the white stars on a slightly desaturated purple night sky with a shooting star on the left side.

While my thesis work is underway, I thought I'd share these pieces I made at the beginning of 2025 and 2024 to illustrate my goals for each year; I wanted to go with the flow before, but now I'm looking to keep my hope shining bright ✨
A humanoid goat woman, adorned with a large sweeping cape and goat's beard, reaches up towards a star-like light towards the top right of the image. Pink particles and stars surround her in the inky blue-purple night sky. A humanoid goat woman, dressed in pajamas, surfs on the interior of a cyan and purple wave. Music notes and lines swirl around her form, and two of her limbs, closest to the camera, dissolves into a pink watery form while mostly maintaining their shape.

Ah, a fellow Canvas user? Hopefully there's more confetti where that came from! Seriously though, hoping for our collective finals week success πŸ€žπŸ’–

While my main deal is storyboards, I am a sucker for illustration and color work; both of these loves showed up in my character study work with Lego Monkie Kid's version of the Monkey King and the Six Eared Macaque! I still need to watch Season 5 this winter...

It's definitely a great watch, but it is also super moving (I legit was crying by credits) and you should go into it prepared πŸ’ͺπŸ’–

Casting is still in progress for my Tombmates thesis project and I'm currently working on whittling down auditions for Simone the vampire; I don't think I'll have a final decision by Monday's thesis proposal, but I can try lol πŸ¦‡πŸ’–
