this film is going to be like 90% CGI... so don't forget that these "live action" adaptations are still animated movies, they're really just there to exploit non-unionized VFX animator labour, because 3d character animators are unionized and can't be taken advantage of so easily
welp, "live action" how to train your dragon made a lot of money, I'm sure this one will too, it's basically the same thing just more textures and occasionally people up close are visibly real actors
this is not "haptic" :P

More boards talk! I also had the privilege of storyboarding the song Losing Streak, sung by the incomparable Blake Roman. This song is BEAUTIFUL and his voice is just insane, so I was REALLY excited to get to do this one!

Umm are we watching the same show? THE DIABOLICAL DANNY DO-BAD LITERALLY TIED HUSK TO A TRAIN TRACK. And then just, like, disappeared the next episode. How are none of you concerned about his next move?

Did some storyboard work on Hazbin season 2 episode3!
I was on funny face-drawing duty for Charlie’s descent into madness (Erika’s voice made it so much fun), and also tackled some juicy Pentious/Baxter lore >:)

HAZBIN HOTEL SEASON 2 IS OFFICIALLY OUT!
Now I can say that I worked on episode 01 as a storyboard artist! I had a lot of fun with the first song (Hazbin Guarantee 'Tust Us') and the Vee's meeting scene with Vox showing off his amazing drawing skills. Hope you've been loving it so far! <3
