Don’t mistake my kindness for weakness. If you’re unkind to me, weakness is not what you are going to remember about me

Let’s do this one more time….I can’t believe it’s been a little over 6 years since working on Spider-Man: Into the Spider-Verse. In celebration of the release of Across the Spider-Verse I wanted to share a selection of character designs that I was fortunate enough to work on. From top to bottom, Uncle Aaron, the Prowler, and SP//DR.

In the 28 years of working in animation with 26 of those spent doing character design, I have worked on a plethora of projects that will never see the light of day. A lot of these projects are usually in development from 1-3 years with a few of them almost getting made. Ultimately most of these projects die a horrible death due to budgeting, lack of interest, industry trends, or whatever excuse the studios give at the time of shelving. Here’s a selection of character designs from my time spent at DreamWorks animation, Warner Bros. Animation and Sony Pictures Animation.
