Hi! I'm a recent grad from Art Center College of Design where I studied character design and visual development. Here I post my projects, doodles, comics, & things that inspire me.

Congratulations to everyone who worked on @spiderversemovie What an incredible film, definitely my favorite of the year! 🕷 I really loved seeing all the fanart people have made of Miles and other characters accepting an Oscar. It got me thinking about what those characters might do after the awards ceremony was over and I figured while most people would be at all the star studded, luxurious after parties- maybe Miles and Peter just decide to escape the all the Hollywood glitz and glam, instead opting for their favorite burger takeout and having a heart to heart overlooking the LA skyline.

Working on a series of Batman universe characters as highschoolers/younger versions of themselves before they embraced their superhero/villain personas. Ivy/Pamela Isley is part of the gardening club and her favorite class is horticulture. She likes plants more than people and is a bit of a wallflower. The only person she opens up to is her best friend, Harley.

Oxenfree Alex Speed Painting

Here's Alex from Oxenfree by @nightschoolstudio . She's the first in a new fan art series I'm working on where I'll be drawing characters from my favorite video games. This game was well written, highly atmospheric, and I loved the characters. Vibe-wise, to me, it felt like a combo of Stranger Things and Coraline. ⛰📻🔦👻Have you guys played it?

Some loose observational digital painting I did in class a year ago. Once I realized I could stylize what I saw, it became a lot more fun.

Painted some film studies of cool cinematography. For the color ones, it took forever trying to get all the little details, by the time I got to “The Umbrellas of Cherbourg” on the right you can really see me starting to simplify the shapes. For the black and white studies I referenced some of my favorite films like Oldboy, Black Swan, The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo, Amelie, Confessions. To see images larger/higher res click here

My final character line up for a Slavic retelling of Beauty and the Beast called “The Scarlet Flower” 

[sketchmoonart]

The key scene where the Merchant plucks one of Beast’s precious scarlet flowers, as a gift for Nastenka, his beloved youngest daughter. Unbeknownst to him, his actions are about to have grave consequence.

[sketchmoonart]

The Beast gave the Merchant an enchanted ring that is to transport him back the castle for punishment after he says his goodbyes to his daughters. Nastenka, being the most selfless of the three, stole the ring and went to the palace in her father’s place. Expecting imminent death and a frightening abode, she arrives in shock and marvels at the beautiful, yet empty palace interior as Beast watches from the shadows.

Forest wolves have  begun their hunt as the lost Merchant discovers salvation in the distance; a mysterious, resplendent palace.
