"Maybe we can help each other"

I really adored the scene where they're walking through the forest and thought it would be nice to capture a moment in their conversation as they got to know each other. Doing some analogue work feels very much like touching grass so working traditionally while imagining the nice cooling shadows from the canopy really felt like it went hand in hand in a serene type of way

Micron pen and copic marker on shikishi board! I took some inspiration from doing layout in animation by outlining the shadows and I like how it turned out!

SPOILER WARNING Episode 102 of the Mighty Nein "What Will you Be" Sequence F. Directed by Mari Yang, and Supervision by Juno Lee! This is one of my first storyboards I did on Season 1 when I started. This is the last version I turned in before Revisions. I'm very fond of these sequences, they were challenging at first because we had so much to figure out and learn, and first season growing pains. Shout out to our storyboard team again! I loved doing that Beau scene, you know the one!

Bit of BTS: Sometimes we had to figure out the way magic worked visually in these early stages in unique ways for the characters, to give our design team a starting point. Sometimes we'd be briefed on ideas too from our leads, and they'd have those ideas for us in a rough form too, which was super helpful! And we were given lots of room to pitch visuals based on ideas from the script, so we'd have back and forth meetings about these early on. Thankfully the version we came up with inspired what you see on the show. The model sheets were not locked in at this time, so I can see the evolution of my drawings as the season went on. So grateful to have been given the opportunity to participate on this show. I loved working with this team.

Official Character Designs & Expressions for The Mighty Nein Animated

Sharing the final character design & expression model sheets for our main cast of The Mighty Nein 🌟

I feel incredibly lucky to be BOTH Lead Character Designer AND Layout Supervisor. Not only do I work pre-production along side my amazing character team to design a deeply varied and culturally rich world of folks, but also post-production with our wonderful retakes animation team to ensure the character style and emotional accuracy is pushed to their limits.

l've really fallen in love with the show and can’t wait for everyone to see everything we’ve planned for this band of misfits.
