I made this portrait of a friend of mine!
"Find Your Light" Music Video Pitch Concept Art
The incredibly talented Aaron Todd asked if I could pitch him an idea for a music video, so I drew up some character designs and some background art. Set in a futuristic desert cityscape, the story is about a retired spaceman hero who must reconnect with his old partner to save the world from an evil slime monster who threatens to blot out the sun and rob the world of its light. Jeepers!
"Grocery Scare"
This is a personal project that I hope to complete in my free time. I am currently in the process of storyboarding it out. This silent animated short follows a young "College Boi" as he goes to the grocery store in order to buy healthy foods to give him that rockin' bod that will bring all the boys to the yard. Unfortunately, on his way inside, he attracts the attention of an "Intense Girl Scout" who wishes to sell him cookies (and also has a bit of a budding crush on him). College Boi refuses because he wants to stick to his diet, much to the disappointment and anger of the young Girl Scout. She frames him for stealing cookies from the Troop, rousing her fellow scouts and their well-trained "Troop Leader" into a frenzy, chasing College Boi through the grocery store, putting the innocent food stuffs in the crossfire. Those poor bread loaves never stood a chance.
Liminality
"Liminality" aspires to be an animated television series. It was conceived by Elizabeth Hansen, Jordan Graham, and Latreyana Sanders, who recruited me as part of their concept team. I had the amazing opportunity to help write and design for the series in order for it to be pitch-ready. It is a coming of age story about West Elliot Snow, a young spirit medium who must learn how to navigate life among the dead. His father, Lukas Snow, is recently deceased and wading through these uncharted waters by West's side. Together, the two help spirits complete their unfinished business. At the same time, West still experiences the turbulence of youth as a young Demisexual male.
*Note: this was intended to be a 3D animated series, so the character designs you see down below may tend to verge on the semi-realistic end of the style spectrum. I felt that 3D animation enables more freedom to explore more complicated character designs.
Below is the final animatic for the pilot episode of "Liminality"
Thank you!
