It’s always interesting to see how you arrive at the final stage. Definitely makes you appreciate the process and make note of what to improve on next time. This is an old page from a comic I’m (still) working on. I got this comic gif idea from tinyfortress aka Andrew Ross. Check his page for some awesome art!

These are some boards from the film ‘Epic’. As I was going through my old boards I started reminiscing about my time at Blue Sky. It was where I started my feature storyboard career, and I am super appreciative for all the experience I gained from there. Awesome studio with great people.

The Orenda by Joseph Boyden

The Lost Wampum

“...I tread to shore with the Crow and seven men, all carefully selected by age for that combination of wisdom and strength. The girl will wait here until I call for her. As the enemy demanded, wampum and the girl will be exchanged for my life being spared....”

More roughs to follow!

Haven’t had much time for creative work after the birth of my son, but now I’m trying something a little different to get back into the groove. 

I just finished reading ‘The Orenda’ by Joseph Boyden, and was inspired by the events in that book. So much that I think I’m going to attempt and adapt it into a comic. Just something fun to keep me busy and practice both my storyboarding & comic making skills! It’s a long book so we’ll see how much I finish by the end but here’s a little something from the chapter ‘The Lost Wampum’... more updates soon!
