It's a cruel joke that by the time a show releases and you can post storyboards, you're too busy working on another cartoon to post storyboards.

Fionna and Cake Season 2 Color Script for Episode 2! Due to a tight schedule this was the last of the color scripts I was able to do for the season, but I love how different this turned out with the very stylized colors. Boards by Graham Falk

A pumpkin getting coffee (warning: flashing lights at the end). Was going for spooky music, maybe it's more sad? Based on real life events.

Hey! Thanks for confirming I can reply to your question here.

So I had to look up what Slideshare was. I think you're right – there's some gray area and it would depend on the artist. ln my opinion though, it should be pretty safe to assume that if those storyboards were originally posted to a space that is meant for public viewing (and not, say, a more exclusive friends-only account) it's not any breach of etiquette to use them for a presentation/post with the proper credits! Technically, the storyboards we make are the property of the company and not even our own, so, at minimum, as long as there's some attribution to like, Warner Brothers Animation or Netflix, etc., you're probably good?

As for deleted scenes/lines, sometimes a cut is made simply to fit the runtime, and other times, it's because that material didn't quite fit the vision or the direction for the final product. I think you just have to look at what context you have and use your best judgment to determine if you can use those boards/drawings to illustrate your points.

The Hare and the Sprout special sequence designs by Ala Flora

In the latter half of 2024 I had a great pleasure of illustrating a sequence for Adventure Time: Fionna & Cake's season 2. The drawings are based on storyboards by Kris Mukai and art directed Sandra Lee.

The final animation can be seen in the s02e01 cold open over at HBO, while clips from it to be found in the embed below (here's a direct link to the instagram reel if you prefer it sandboxed).
