Mulan! 🗡️

Here’s some Mulan drawings from today’s gesture class! Some really good ones here, and it was fun to learn from Todd Bright who was a clean-up artist on the movie!

Gesture drawings of Fa Mulan from “Mulan” (1998, dir. Barry Cook & Tony Bancroft) Drawings include of her standing, lowering down and putting her hand on the ground, and laying down. By Luke Perkins (11/15/25) Gesture drawings of Fa Mulan from “Mulan” (1998, dir. Barry Cook & Tony Bancroft) A lot of sketches of her sitting. On the top left she’s braiding her hair. On the top right she’s drinking tea. On the bottom right, she’s putting her head on a knee and looking rather sad. On the bottom left is a lower half of someone sitting, as part of a ‘chalk talk’ the teacher held about drawing characters sitting. By Luke Perkins (11/15/25) Gesture drawings of Fa Mulan from “Mulan” (1998, dir. Barry Cook & Tony Bancroft) On the left, she’s holding a sword in a front view. On the right are sketches of her cutting her hair with the sword and one of Mulan standing in a daydreaming manner. By Luke Perkins (11/15/25) Gesture drawings of Fa Mulan from “Mulan” (1998, dir. Barry Cook & Tony Bancroft) A few standing sketches, but one of her on the floor about to drink tea. By Luke Perkins (11/15/25)

- Accessible! Small cast makes it easy to produce anywhere
- Score is Oops! All bangers
- Tightly written Faustian tale isn't overly long
- Funny!
- Easily accessed queer readings (Audrey and Seymour are T4T)
- Story is about how capitalism is bad and morally compromises you

A sketch of Mario and Luma I did a few minutes before the Direct.

A blue sketch of Mario from the Super Mario Bros games interacting with Luma from Super Mario Galaxy. Mario is entranced by the shining Luma who’s waving at him. Mario uses his hand to reach out for the little sparkles that Luma is spreading around. Sketch by Luke Perkins (11/12/25)

My post-Direct trailer reaction:

There’s some stuff I did like with the first half of mini-Bowser trying to impress the Bros with his paintings, which would be perfect for a more character-driven sequel, but I still think going for ‘Galaxy’ immediately is a dumb choice.

Knowing the sequel to the Mario movie is immediately going to Super Mario Galaxy, I fear it’s going to have similar story problems like the first movie where everything is like a fast road trip without proper stops. I want more character moments, dammit!

I finally saw “Little Amélie or the Character of Rain” this afternoon, and it is a beautiful movie and certainly one of my favorites of the year.

It’s honestly really nice to see these types of animated films in the theater I go to, because a decade ago this would’ve been impossible.

Here's a fun piece I did of Bowser after watching the Mario Movie in theaters back in April.
Against a dark blue background, Bowser (from the Mario games and movie) is having a moment of enjoyment thinking about the peaches. Text on top left saying "When the peaches hit just right" (based on the just right meme from "Emperor's New Groove" but also based on the Peaches number from "The Super Mario Bros. Movie"). A bright light is coming from the left of the screen shining his spikes. By Luke Perkins (Date: 4/14/23)

This is how I’m feeling today rn
Top Panel: a hand reaches over to 2 buttons, where each button has a different outcome. On the left, it reads: “Get it over with and deactivate my Twitter.” On the right, it reads: “Keep in touch with the few mutuals there.” Bottom Panel: we get to see the person who’s about to press one button or the other, but he’s incredibly anxious to make his choice, and he’s cleaning up the sweat on his face.

Man, watching the new “Knives Out” movie when it comes out is gonna feel weird.

Okay but seriously, anyone with power who unironically threatens to use ICE on someone should probably be put on a list.

Another reminder that not everyone needs to draw or animate the same way folks like Richard Williams did. He’s great but these designs and the comedic antics are still as charming and as fun with their more frantic energy.

I truly can't stress this enough: No one's art is good enough to justify them being miserable to work with. Almost everyone I've worked with has been wonderful, but the handful of folks that weren't brought the whole team down by being egotistical, sexist, condescending, etc.

Halloween isn't just great because of the spooky vibes its special because, sadly, many people feel like they need an excuse to do something creative, make art, or use crafting supplies and Halloween gives them that.

You ever get that feeling that Halloween isn’t actually over and you’re still enjoying the vibes of it?

I’m in that mood right now tbh.

The Scare-Off! 🎃🧛🏻

I had a lot of fun doing this collab piece with John Dixon (johndarts9 on Insta). It was part of an ‘collaboration intensive’ John Pomeroy hosted which was fun.

Happy Halloween (or Hallow’s Eve)! 🎃👻

Earle the Jack-O-Lantern (my original character) is getting into the Halloween spirit by dressing up with a purple cape and acting like a vampire. He’s in a sneaking pose and is almost ‘pointing’ at a sign saying “Happy Halloween!”, which is standing out in a slightly red-ish color. The background is dark blue with some lighter spots.

Netflix, when I get my hands on you…
“We were developing Ember in Grease Pencil for Blender,” Pablos said. “Our goal was to put a free 2D animation tool out there that you would choose even over the other paid options.” The team had reached an advanced prototype when Netflix pulled the plug. “We got canceled before we finished, so we published the version that we had. It’s still out there,” he explained, although it may take a bit of digging to find.” -Sergio Pablos

I saw someone call Ai a Thneed and I can't stop thinking about it. It's a PERFECT analogy. The Thneed was an all-purpose tool that didn't do anything really useful. It was a fad that did major damage to the environment to make the Onceler a billionare. It left no real lasting impact, only damage.
