Did more sketches based off my young version of king harkinian from Zelda cdi. I imagined him as a friendly husky dude who would rather submit his foes and not going further than that.

What the bro dogs from the stupid shorts I’ve been doing look like as people. They were always Asian in mind and the brown dog is loosely based off a younger version of me

Honestly I'd rather work with people who would animate shots! I'm not opposed to someone else taking that mantle or doing things in blender!

I storyboarded a fan anime opening for my favorite childhood game, megaman legends /ロックマンDASH I wanted to animate the whole thing, but that’s way too much effort. Did it in a way where I can fulfill that childhood dream and move on. Maybe one day I'll form a MAP project out of this!

animation sketchbook page 33, various laughing animation of my character Jessie. This was for a casual clip I animated a while back where each shot was her laughing. Since barely anyone saw that clip, I've decided to include them in a single spread. I love animating stuff like this

Animation sketchbook page 30. These were done more than 5 years ago for a video I did about how different animators approached their first pass of rough animation. These are not official names, just my personal labels based on my bias observation.

One of the first sequences I boarded on Blue Eye Samurai season 1. Boarded on Photoshop since it was what the directors I work with preferred, but after experiencing a full on covid production, it made revisions and passing files hellish.

animation tests i did when i was on blue eye samurai season 1. Was given sketches of the designs, and to do tests of subtle nuances each character would do. these were done after my time storyboarding on it

I did a video talking about why artists pursue sexy NSFW art besides money. I had to re-edit this video numerous times because I do go overboard with the jokes, but wanted to have a good discussion about it.
