โจC0mms are back! โจ
Let me draw your cool OCs or favorite characters!!! I currently have 10 slots, and a waitlist available.
๐for form and pricing below!
Cathartic little painting because I'm terrible with words :')
Despite the road being bumpy at times, I'm very thankful for my time at Rooster Teeth, and especially for RWBY.
Hopefully this isn't good bye ๐นโค๏ธ
Got the go-ahead to finally announce this; I've been promoted to Art Director for
#RWBY
!! It's still a little surreal and hasn't fully sunken in yet, but I'm very excited for the opportunity. Volume 8 has some cool stuff in store and I can't wait for you all to see!
Got permission to share these, so here are my initial sketches and final turn around for Vol. 8 Winter! I had a lot of freedom with these, the only real direction I got was keep it military. She was a ton of fun, hope ya'll love her as much as I do!
#RWBY7
Piece I did earlier this year that I can finally share!
The animation heads were interested in creating a thank you gift for CRWBY's hard work on Vol 8 (and now 9), and it was suggested that an original, crew-exclusive print would be fantastic. Thanks for letting me do this! ๐
Thus kindly I scatter~ ๐ค๐น
HUGE shoutout to Larissa Angus for doing most of the legwork on these! I couldn't have asked for a better lead concept artist.

Can't believe we're already almost to the end of

Since becoming AD, I've had less time to actually work as a concept artist myself (especially characters), but I did have the chance to help visualize a few cool moments. It's been a refreshing change of pace!
I can finally share the kids!! Glad I got the chance to give Em and Merc some new threads, they 're some of my favorite baddies and were super fun to work on.
Hope you all aren't tired of seeing this, but now that Collective Con has wrapped, I wanted to share the full piece!
Thank you to everyone who stopped by this weekend! It was my first time appearing as a guest at a con, and I couldn't have asked for a better experience. โฅ
Got a few requests to post Harriet's concepts, so here we are! Also Vine for good measure. I know he's probably not a fan favorite, but I personally had a lot of fun designing him! The Ace Ops in general were some of the most fun to design this season โฅ

It was pointed out that Yang was missing her prosthetic; this was a genuine mistake on my part, and I deeply apologize for that.
Yang is beloved and so important to many people, so I wanted to fix this mistake and do her justice. I will make sure that this doesn't happen again.

A Penny for your thoughts ๐
Just a small amount of the initial concepts I did for Penny's redesign this season, plus her final turn around.

Need something to hold you over until the next episode? Here's the exploration sketches + turnarounds I did for Flynt and Neon! So glad we were able to bring them back, they have such a special place in my heart

I dunno how or why my last art post did so well, but sincerely, thank you all ๐ฅบ๐ My follower count also doubled over night and it's still VERY surreal. So thank you also for 20k followers!
And yes, I will be doing more emoji character designs in the very near future!!
Woo! Finally time to post the full Prosciutto piece I did for
@bizarrestarzine
earlier this year! So glad I had the chance to draw one of my favorite Jojo baddies AND one of my favorite stands. ๐ฅบ๐ Thanks to everyone who supported us and bought a copy!
Still gathering my thoughts and feeling a lot of things right now.
I guess now is a good time to mention that I'll attending Collective Con in Jacksonville, FL this weekend as a guest, so I would really appreciate any traffic/purchases at my table. ๐โโ๏ธ
@RubberNinja
Hi Ross + thank you so much ๐โโ๏ธโค๏ธ
I've been at Rooster Teeth since 2015, mostly working as a concept artist for many of our animated properties, and more recently art director for RWBY vol 8-9!
More work + contact can be found at my portfolio;
Forgot to cross-post this here, apologies to those who've already seen it!
Painting process for the
#RWBY9
poster. What did we all think of the first episode? ๐
Baby's first book publication!! The World of RWBY is here and it turned out amazing! A ton of my concepts made it in, and even a few appear as double page spreads ๐ฅบ๐While some are pretty old and make me cringe now, it's at least reaffirming to see that I've somewhat improved!
Words are hard and everybody else said it better than I ever could.
Thank you CRWBY for all of your hard work, and thank you all for watching RWBY Volume 9 โค๏ธ๐ค๐ค๐
Did you know that I did 4 one-of-a-kind RWBY sketches that are up for auction right now? Auction goes until Nov. 14th!
All proceeds will benefit the Children's Medical Network โค๏ธ

Since I got the go ahead; I'm happy to say that I've been promoted to lead concept artist for
#RWBY
! So excited for this opportunity and for what's to come in Volume 6! ๐
#crwby
These were a lot of fun, even tho I kind of dragged my feet with them!! Hopefully the next around will be much quicker.
Ngl it's kind of weird designing just for fun and not having to worry about technical constraints for animation?? this power???? hello
So excited to finally share a preview of my Prosciutto piece for
@bizarrestarzine
's Traditori: La Squadra Zine! So many cool artists were involved and I'm so honored to have been part of it!
#JJBA
Pre-order available now๐๏ธโค๏ธ;
LRT: so glad people are enjoying the Volume 9 poster!!
Admittedly I was really nervous to how it would be received, but to say that I am pleasantly surprised is an understatement. The response has been overwhelming, thank you all so much ๐ญ๐
See you all Saturday!
Omg my first
#PortfolioDay
post hiiii โจ
I've been working as a concept artist in animation for nearly 9 years with additional experience in art direction and art management!
I'll be available for freelance or full time work starting in May
๐ผ๏ธ
I mean fair but I only became Art Director at the beginning of last year, so one season LOL. We've been evolving the look ever since volume 1. Why am I not allowed to be proud of what the crew has been making? ๐ฅด๐ฅด๐ฅด
I can finally say; earlier this year I had the opportunity to help out with some concept art for season 2 of Invincible! Such a fun experience and amazing opportunity ๐ญโค๏ธ
BABY ONE MORE TIME, WON'T YOU LOOK MY WAY?๐ฃ๏ธ๐ถ
Had the honor of working with
@SuzieYeung
again to create this print of Chitose from
#Yakuza
Like a Dragon: Infinite Wealth! I had so much fun with this piece, and may have had Honolulu City Lights on loop while working on it ๐ซฃ
Don't have any new art to share since I'm in the process of moving to a new place, but wanted to share Noi again because
#Dorohedoro
#ใใญใใใญ is now on Netflix!! Pls check it out, the manga is one of my favs ๐ฅ๐ฆ
Honestly I was really nervous about the art direction for Volume 9 since it's so different, but I'm glad most people seem to be into it. The warm reception has been so surreal??
A huge shout out to the incredible art team, and of course all of CRWBY, for making it possible ๐ฅบโค๏ธ
Also, I rarely get personal here, but these past 2 weeks have been some of the worst; my 14 yr old cat Eva has developed a brain tumor. Instead of risking surgery, it was decided it would be best to let her live out the last few months of her life at home, happy and comfortable-
Sometimes I see comments saying "wow, why didn't CRWBY pick THIS design?? Are they dumb???". Sometimes we do really like a certain design! But it also sometimes boils down to a design or certain element being too difficult to rig and animate within our tight production schedule.

Can't believe it's already been 3 years since I drew this character.
I've been calling her 'Neko-bot' but I dunno if it really fits, so what should her name be? Also do we like the taller proportions more or the more chibi-esque???
ESPECIALLY when they're talking about how "haha cg anime looks like poopoo!!". I get volumes 1-3 aren't the best looking, but it feels a lil misleading when we've produced WAY more polished seasons since then ๐ฅด
Finally have some new art to show off ๐ญ
Had the pleasure of designing an OC for
@Tizen99
!! Meet Ladris, he was a ton of fun to work on~
Coming up with different iterations and sketching are always my favorite steps, so wanted to include them here as well.
Something a little different than my usual art; a DTIYS for
@eunpyon
! Their art inspires me so much, and this was really refreshing to work on. Congrats on 100k insta followers!
@KdinJenzen
Jesus, that is some horrendous shit. I'm so terribly sorry that you had to endure all of that. I hope future endeavors treat you with the kindness and respect you deserve, and more โค๏ธ
I really enjoyed the times we got to work together, they were truly fun and special
