Not only did I storyboard Vox Populi, I animated this fun shot, too! Everything is hand drawn from scratch, no 3D elements were used. Lots and lots of arcs (*꒦ິ꒳꒦ີ)

More boards talk! I also had the privilege of storyboarding the song Losing Streak, sung by the incomparable Blake Roman. This song is BEAUTIFUL and his voice is just insane, so I was REALLY excited to get to do this one!

I stay true with the characters in all my work: happy characters are gonna be happy, evil characters are gonna be evil. When it comes to antagonistic characters, folks who interpret this as me “condoning their actions”, this may be a shock to you: I do not.

It's time for more boarding talk! So I had the pleasure of storyboarding the song Love in a Bottle for Hazbin Hotel! Firstly, it was a total honor to get to storyboard something for a song sung by Keith David. The man has SUCH a killer voice. Bucket list item for sure haha.

Another big sequence I got to board for this episode was 🎶 Once We Get Up There 🎶 but before we get to that, I’d love to breakdown the dialogue exchange leading up to it first! Had fun with the pacing and acting for the Vees and THIS was what made me love the triple threat even more ❤️💙💜

Did some storyboard work on Hazbin season 2 episode3!

I was on funny face-drawing duty for Charlie’s descent into madness (Erika’s voice made it so much fun), and also tackled some juicy Pentious/Baxter lore >:)

god. Just a week until people get to see an animated sequence that the team fucking COOKED to perfection and I'm so fucking proud of what they pulled off on a tv show budget and it's so good and the board artist slayed and everyone is so fucking talented and

More pics of Misty, plus Jake because he too deserves love and attention 💖 Misty is a silly, clumsy girl, has Resting B*tch Face like me and loves to be a lap cat. She was a perfect model for boarding KeeKee for this sequence!

I GOT TO BOARD A #Chaggie SEQUENCE!! I love these two so much, you can imagine my excitement when I learned I was working on this part of the episode ♡⋆ ˚。⋆
Another dialogue scene and I got to have fun with both—and KeeKee’s— of their acting.

so thrilled to have worked on ep 4!! i was so honored to basically have free reign over the alastor and vox encounter at the end (including the flashback, isn't baby vox the cutest??). thank you to everyone for letting me go buck wild, and seeing yandere eyes alastor in motion is just...the best🥰

The ONLY set back of working as a board artist is that I can’t talk about things for a long while 😭

Been hyper since last night and I know they’ll be reading this 🫵 THANK YOU

I was in charge of boarding Charlie’s phone call sequence! It was fun playing with the camera for this assignment. Whenever she sounded more optimistic or certain, the camera is closer to her. When she sounds unsure or defeated, the camera pulls further from her!

I was blessed with being assigned a Lucifer and Charlie sequence! My strongest suit is character acting, but this was also a little treat for me since the directors know VERY WELL how much I love Luci (thank you Viv 🫣). I got to have a lot of fun with their facial and body expressions!

Drew my impsona for a proper credits post! What a strong start to the new season, huh? Everyone did an amazing job! I got to work on Episode 1 and I’ll be quoting this post going over the sequences I got to do ⋆⁺₊⋆

If there’s a leak, know that we at Spindlehorse are not fucking happy. Pretty livid, actually (especially when it’s out of our control). And, if you care about and respect the artists who are upset about the leaks, please don’t spread them. We see when you do and it makes us sad.
