Here's a background from the #KnightsOfGuinevere pilot that I'm really, really proud of. Amazing art direction from @amberbladejones.bsky.social as ALWAYS!

A fun M7 background from #knightsofguinevere with everyone's favorite family of Very Good Lawyers! I don't draw characters for work very often, so getting to design the Crawlers was a VERY special treat! Art direction, travel poster designs, and leftmost smily clown graffiti by @amberbladejones . Distant factory buildings by @faithschaffer. Cool skeleton graffiti by @aoiszach .

I loved drawing on this beautiful show, and the bg paint/color team really knocked everything out of the park. The paintings in this set are by Yudi Chen!

Almost forgot to share this painting: this one was such a delight to paint with its intimate lighting - I especially loved experimenting with ways to suggest the tiny glass details of the chandelier! Thanks for looking, and watch Carol and the End of the World on Netflix! Showrunner: Dan Guterman BG design: @punchbuggy Art direction: @ellemichalka

Watch ​Carol & The End of The World | Netflix Official Site

As a planetary apocalypse looms, a woman struggling to embrace end-times chaos searches for meaning in her last months on Earth.

More Carol and the End of the World - this time: Carol's apartment building at night! @ellemichalka did the daytime version which helped get the ball rolling on this one! I especially loved painting the little Christmas lights on the balconies! Thanks for looking, and watch Carol & the End of the World on Netflix if you haven't already!! Showrunner: @dan-guterman BG design: Alex Myung Art direction: @ellemichalka
