Some prenoarding warmup sketches from early this morning. These are focused on posing and some simple lighting. I used to feel the need to refine these more and more, but now, when I gain CLARITY in what’s happening, I move on. #process #animation #sketches

I blame @TheChaseConley for designing #MilesMorales like this, ICONIC! I needed to warm up for an action sequence I’m boarding, and it was only a matter of time before drawing this design. Lol. Fun stuff! #MarvelComics #animation

Wassup guys, happy Friday! Just sharing a #StaticShock mood board I’d done for the pitch to @AnimationWarner . Figured I may as well share some of this stuff with you guys. It was one of a few boards done just to show some mood and moments and FX ideas. #dccomics #animation

This is a big deal to me, my brother directed it. He’s mentioned as the director in the LAST paragraph of the article... It’s great because my brother and I are a couple of black directors on super hero shit, and I want to make a big deal out of that. We are just getting started.

#SwordOfTheStrangeris in my all-time top 10 list, from design to story to music, it’s a special one for me. Drew this before grading some storyboards, and then snapshot the BG from a shot in the movie cause I’m not about to paint a BG (🤷🏾‍♂️) I just wanted to show it some love!

One of my favorite episodes from #kipoandtheageofwonderbeasts HAS to be “Fun Gus pt.1” from season 2! Written by, my INSANELY talented friend @Leore_B And if you know Leore, it COMPLETELY makes sense! She’s hilarious AND this type of character is her forte for DAMN sure! 😂😊

If you grew up in the 90’s you have to draw those characters now, because you’ve always wanted to, it’s just fun as hell. Here’s a preview of on I’m working on, can anyone guess, or figure out from what game? I’ll post the completed version when I’m done.

I drew this #Batman a while back, and never finished it or shared it... This is as “finished”as it will ever get because time is a limited jerk...🤷🏾‍♂️... #dc #warnerbros #animation

Ok… so Sundays episode of #GoT #houseofthedragon was AMAZING! I was so inspired by it, I SWEAR I’m going to color it up one day, cause it was fun to just be an inspired artist and draw what I imagined. I’m loving the show and the visuals! #targaryen #animation #hbo

#dccomics #ivy has ALWAYS had a special place in my heart. I’ve grown in my desire to tell stories that mean something to me, and can be told by me, I have decided to tell the story of Ivy in my own way. The women I grew up seeing were special, this short will show you. #ownlane

Wassup friends, still in story mode, so less drawing and more building character journeys and blah blah blah, BUT, always making time to keep some semblance of my ability/desire to draw alive through these damn post-it’s. Lol. Hope you’re all staying safe out there. #sketches

A sketch of ol #superman to get in to rhythm before work starts back up next week. I realized that I hadn’t drawn in a WHILE, and catching up on reviewing some homework for my class, I couldn’t even put sketches down right. 😂😂😂. I feel sorta back in to flow of things now. 😊
