Some frame-by-frame practice in Harmony

Paint-over practice! 

Here’s a big Helvetica preproduction art dump. We got beatboards, color palettes, prop design and character sketches. I’d like to make a video going through this more in-depth at some point.

My buddy Lars (http://cartoonlars.tumblr.com) drew the sketches for the hero paintings and I did the final renders. I learned a lot about digital painting since then but I think they turned out pretty good.

This concludes the third and final act for Helvetica. It’s a story I’d like to continue: one my friend and I have built into a realized world with warring immortals, lost technology, mime assassins, looping time bubbles, and the deepest of lore.

In Act 2 of Helvetica the Alchemist the Musical, Helvetica gets her first chance at heroics defending a mysterious traveler from some street toughs.

Here it is! In this first act, Helvetica agrees to brew a top-tier potion for the recently disgraced hero Quinn Kingsley.

It's a mostly self contained short, but makes reference to characters and events from my 2012 college film The Warlock's Daughter. Can't wait for Helvetica? Watch it here: https://youtu.be/x2yQ_T2H7yw.

I worked on the Teen Titans Go movie! I was a little lukewarm going in, but honestly this project warmed me up to the show.

This is a show I worked on last year! It’s about future sports and ultra violence.

Here’s some stills from the short. Trying to up my compositing game.

I finished turnarounds for a couple characters. Fun fact: breaking flat art into symbols takes about forever.
