I'm sorry the only thing I have to post here after a few months of silence is a silly comic about my roommate's dog.

More Digimon

Did this a couple weeks ago when I was messing around in my new copy of Manga Studio. Cool program! Been using it a lot now.

YEAR 199X

Next Friday, July 3rd, is the opening reception for YEAR 199X: A 90's Anime Tribute Show at Meltdown Comics! I was lucky enough to be accepted to submit work to the show, so here are the two pieces I've made! Both are for Digimon, since that was my all time favorite show as a kid.

Your Ticket to the Digital World!

I made this giant digivice out foam core. I hadn't made anything like it before, and it turned out pretty awesome!

Digicampfire

This print will also be framed and hanging in the show, I wanted to do something cute with the season one team.

I'm REALLY EXCITED about this show, its the first gallery I've been a part of. It's the same weekend as Anime Expo, so if you're in Hollywood make sure to stop by!

Magical Pet

The "China, IL" finale aired this past Sunday, capping off an amazing season! Gonna miss that crew but I'm looking forward to seeing Brad Neely's next show.

Gummy World

A sketch for last week's episode of China IL - only one left!!

Displays of Manhood

Bi-Topping-Ality/Parent's Day

Guess last week's sketch made it up to my tumblr but not here. Some quality television here for you to watch!!

Crow College

Did this one a bit late, but this past weekend's episode of China was a really fun one to work on! I got to board all the Baby Cakes shots and scenes of Matt and Pemsy playing catch (on top of a handful of other things). WHAT A BLAST!

Charlize

Tonight!! Pony gets kicked out of the band!! What will happen!?

Best Face Forward

It's Sunday! Time for another new episode of China, IL.

A Gentleman's Bet

Season 3 of China, IL premiers on Sunday! Storyboarding on this show has been a blast, the crew is super wonderful and Brad Neely is a hilarious and awesome showrunner. Can't wait for everyone to see it!

Dwayne Plays Sportsball

I make a point to see that people know I don't care about sports. I went through four years of marching band in Texas without every learning how football worked. Yet at some point I decided that Dwayne, a character from a webcomic I currently have on hiatus, would absolutely love sports, especially the ones that aren't very mainstream.

This story-sketching project was born.

Coyotes!

Last summer, I was challenged by a recruiter I'd spoken with to develop a project that was entirely kid friendly, with cartoony designs, possibly using animals. I was stumped.

Then I talked to my mother about it, she listed off a bunch of random objects to base designs off of, and somehow I came to the conclusion that "Hey, Mom has a dynamic family, why don't I base it on her?" Needless to say, she was ecstatic, though I don't think it turned out how she expected.

My mom was one of five in a family that traveled often due to her father's occupation in the air force. I never came up with a "story" based on that, but I did have fun turning her and her siblings into children's cartoon characters.

My mom, Robin, was the first one I designed, obviously, and based everyone else off of that. She was the creative one, energetic, more or less in charge of the pack.

My Uncle Dale spends a lot of his time spouting random facts and knowledge, usually having something to do with martial arts. He and Robin became the stars of the project, since most of her stories revolved around them, being the oldest kids.

Sandy is naturally really talkative, and somehow I ended up morphing her into the black sheep character who is pretty jumpy but still a little rambunctious.

Patrice has always been "the pretty one" - I have known this fact since I was a wee babe. She also ended up being "the mean girl with a heart of gold."

I consider Robin and Lisa to have very similar personalities in real life, so coyote-Lisa ended up being a miniature version of coyote-Robin. I'm still not sure about those pigtails.

Coyote-Dad had to fit the mold of the idealized adventurer. Coyote-Mom had to be a powerhousewife, able to do everything, but maybe a little worn out because whoo dang, five kids.

This project was a challenge to design because it was out of my comfort zone, but I'm happy with the result. The cast is interesting to continue using for personal boarding projects, though I don't think I'll get around to developing a pitch for them.

Speaking of boards!
