I have been noodling at this for a few weeks. I saw this image from the Korean TV drama, Mr. Sunshine on ShotDeck and thought it would be fun to do a study. I have never seen this show but the screen shots on ShotDeck look nice.

The level of emotion and rage I feel that from every angle the Animation Industry is getting destroyed and broken down for parts is off the charts.

Important new updates to Bill AB1138! TLDR the state legislature wants to take away money from the proposal, while also making it cost more for animation productions to even qualify. Swipe through for more details and what can be done. #keepcaliforniarolling #keepcaliforniaanimating

This spring I got the privilege to help a long time buddy @christi.bertelsen with her film “Two Socks." Both painted with gouache n edited in PSD. Lots of little Easter eggs in the designs - shout outs to previous films of hers and also little portraits of her cat, Michael ❤️

Folks looking for work, I cannot express enough. Learn. Blender. In my exp, more and more 2D/3D productions are utilizing it on both a pre-viz and production level. I’ve seen countless potential hires with wonderful designs/paintings get sidelined because of lack of 3D skills.
