Been awhile since i posted here and a lot of things have happened. Updating here again and posting more art/WIP's and anime work contributions. Recently started doing a challenge where I dont do any underdrawing and draw straight ahead and went ahead to draw the characters I had the pleasure of working with over the years that lead into my inspiration (before you ask the two top characters are personal oc's and you'll be seeing some animatic projects with them soon). Also imma add the original straight ahead sketch that gave me the ideal to do this.

Here’s my scene from “The Molecular Level” episode of Moon Girl and Devil Dinosaur, which recently won an Emmy for Best Directing.

I’m so grateful to have boarded on this sequence, and especially thankful for the thoughtful guidance of the brillant Samm Lee and our supervising director Ben Juwono —both of whom taught me so much on this production. Their win so well deserved- cheers to them both!

The final on-screen version differs slightly from my pass, but I’m really proud of the work and what we created as a team.

Grateful for the journey—and quietly excited about possible future collaborations on the horizon.

I’m just gonna go through bits and pieces of the process, and I apologize if it’s a little disjointed or messy as I do.
