cartoon fun time

i'm geneva! i'm a cartoonist in los angeles. I made a short called TRICK MOON for CN, co-created the indie horror game TATTLETAIL, and boarded/supervised on OK KO.

Pocket’s character animation guidelines! I still love these special poses I drew for Pocket. She’s very fun to draw.

Drawing guides for Trickshot I made for my short! 

Trickshot, as the middle sibling, lands in-between cartoony Pocket and his more grounded big brother, the Prince. You can see this most clearly in his hands. They’re usually at least partially articulated, except at a distance.

The bottom image shows a comparison between the storyboard and the final layout drawings I sent as reference. Trickshot’s model changed a bit between storyboard and final, so I wanted to make sure eMation had a clear idea of what level of fidelity to the board was important to me.

If you love fun, colorful Saturday morning cartoon vibes and cute animals, this one’s for you! Please share, and be sure to tell CN if you want more!

“Let’s Meet Sonic” is OUT! Wow, what a culmination of a lifelong dream it was to even touch an episode of OK KO where he meets one of my all-time favorite characters!

I was promoted to storyboard supervisor around the time the writer/storyboarders were finishing this episode. Stevie and Ryann’s boards were already amazing, but I was delighted to make small contributions where I could- such as in this early scene of KO in some of Sonic’s iconic poses. What a blast. I love OK KO, and this episode will always be one of my absolute favorites of the series.

I did some writing on Donut County that I’m very proud of. ;)

Mystery Science Fair 201x has aired! A great episode of OK KO storyboarded by my beloved roommate/bff Ryann Shannon and her storyboard partner Parker Simmons! 

Ryann gave one of my original background characters, Genesis, her first speaking role! So I thought it would be fun to post the (unofficial!!) bio card I made for her early on in the show’s production.

Favorite scene.

OK Dendy: Let’s Be KO!, the latest episode written/storyboarded by me and Mira is up on the CN app!

This scene is yet another inspired by my real-world retail experiences, lol.

More fav drawings from Villains Night In! 

It was really fun doing a reversal episode, where we’re seeing a “villains come and ambush the heroes” story from the villains’ perspective. As far as KO, Enid, and Rad were concerned, it was just like any other episode where they had to kick some bad guys off their turf!

(Again thanks to @jpolgar1 @killapede and @maxcollins for revisions)!

Some cute selected storyboard drawings of Darrell and Shannon scenes, for Villains Night In! Credit as always to @killapede and @maxcollins (under @jpolgar1‘s supervision) for their awesome revisions!

[cartoonfuntime]

One of my favorite episodes (actually, several of my favorite episodes) of OK KO that I’ve worked on has come out! It was awesome to collaborate with my roommate/bff (and voice of Tattletail!) @ryannshannon​ to write and storyboard VILLAINS NIGHT IN! More posts incoming (both about VNI and other episodes I haven’t posted about yet).

I wanted to be sure to post the animatic for the “Follow Orders” sequence because it’s one of my favorites. This scene and the “playing house” sequence weren’t in the outline- Ryann and I just really wanted to make them! I think they’re really funny explorations of the character’s home lives.

We wanted to evoke the feeling of being stuck at weird friends/family’s homes and being horrified by them (as well as the horror of being subjected to that one wild kid who takes things too far). The Box-Bots are Evil, but they’re fundamentally Lawful (and have each other). They operate completely differently than Fink, and just don’t know handle the chaos inherent to a minion who is organic. It’s a funny (and very Real) contrast! I think it came together as a hilarious vector for how different each family’s brand of love and dysfunction can be, and how baffling kids’ lives can be to each other. We really followed our hearts on this one and got to bring a lot of realness to it. I’m very happy with it!

Thanks to my pal @daveofthedead for helping me with the “Follow Orders” song, to the revisions team, and Nick Veith on animatic timing. Here is Ryann’s beautiful post about the episode, too!!

Bonus fact: After the song, Fink calls the video “completely inane” (which links up with the scene in VNO when Venomous says “this is inane.”)

Bonus bonus fact: Fink was originally going to all it “asinine.” It got changed to “inane” later. ;)

These are some of the shots I boarded from VNI! I’ll do an in-depth post about it soon, but couldn’t resist these cute gifs. I ADORE how the timing of the animation came out in that first shot!!

I’m very proud of this episode and can’t wait to tell y’all about it.

[cartoonfuntime]

Some cute panels of the gang as animals, from my section in “We’ve Got Fleas.” It was a blast to do this episode- it’s one of my favorites and I am really proud of how funny, cute, and crazy it came out! I’ll upload some animatic snippets later this week. Thanks for watching!!
