Hi
#PortfolioDay
✨ I'm available for Directing and Storyboard work for animation! Previous experience at Nickelodeon, Oddbot Inc, and Neko Productions. Stories with action/adventure, heart and lots of fun character acting are my specialty!✨Contact info and website in my bio!
No, absolutely not. The majority of storyboards SHOULD NOT be this level of polished. This is basically key frame animation and having so much detail early on causes a lot of problems down the pipeline especially for editors, revisionists, and animators.
Luca and Turning Red didn't make money because YA'LL DIDN'T PUT THEM IN THEATERS YOU DUMB CLUCKERS! They were SUCCESSES on Disney+ and would have made money if you'd put in theaters!!!!! DON'T BLAME THE WRITERS AND ARTISTS FOR STUPID EXECUTIVE DECISIONS!!!
I'm not saying this guy isn't talented and an incredible artist, but it's a harmful mindset to call this 'storyboard' when it's clearly a fully animated sequence. Storyboard artist don't need to animate- we just provide solid blueprints and trust the animators to do the rest.
A film doesn't need to be talked about constantly to be an excellent film, especially when social media goes through so many cycles of content in a short period of time. It's a simple but charming story, and there's content and fan activity if you go looking for it.
A thank you to two storytelling legends who passed too soon. Thank you for Janice Burgess (1953-2024) and Akira Toriyama (1955-2024) for sharing your great characters and wonderful stories to the entire world.💖✨
Got this heartbreaking news this morning Noggin was one of the few places to have constant freelance work for artists and created lots of wonderful content for young children. I worked with the amazing team last year during my unemployment. I hope the best for the entire team.💔
The fact that the Amazing Digital Circus has garnered so much attention in such a short amount of time is an incredible feat. Is it also proof that indie animated Youtube projects are becoming big players in the animated industry, a feat that Hazbin/Helluva helped pioneer. ✨
The Amazing Digital Circus has officially surpassed not only 60 million views, but the view count of Helluva Boss' pilot as well, a view count it got in three years, in just THREE WEEKS.
This isn't saying either pilot is better than the other, btw, it's just very impressive!
People need to stop with all "It's over" and "we'll all doomed" talk. That's not helping a single damn person. You go have a private cry and then put yourself back in the fight. Start biting ankles and make some noise!
This comes from the fact that Disney denied a theatrical release of 3 original (and quite excellent) Pixar films, tried to rely on a franchise spinoff film (Lightyear) to get people back, failed and lost a lot money due to THEIR OWN decisions and now are punishing Pixar for it.
Pixar will undergo significant layoffs in 2024.
As many as 20% of employees could be laid off but Pixar says the number is still to be determined.

Sorry to say that this season of Voltron kinda really disappointed me. It had its good moments buuut...whatever. So I made myself feel better by drawing Klance....HAMTARO STYLE! Heads up- Ham Ham Heartbreak is the best game ever and nothing has or will ever surpass it.xP
How exactly do studios expect to make money off of films if they only put them in theaters for a month? Hot take, I honestly think we need to go back to waiting a year before anything goes out on DVD/VHS/streaming. LET PEOPLE WAIT AND GIVE THEM A REASON TO GO TO THE THEATER!
Finished reading graphic novel of "Moon Rising" of the Wings of Fire series. Was excited to see the start of the second arc especially since it introduces one of my favorite friendships of the series- Moon and Kinkajou!

Due to some recent events, I'm now currently actively looking for new directing and storyboarding opportunities! Stories filled with adventure, heart, and lots of fun character acting are my specialty!💖 Also good at doing fun crew doodles! 😉Contact info in my bio!✨
@JamieIles
It's definitely great for pre-vis and especially for animation. In fact, it's absolutely incredible for a rough animation pass! But as a storyboard, especially one that might need a few more passes, it'd be difficult for animatic editors and revisionist to work on.
Recently finished up some freelance so BACK TO JOB HUNTING!✨ Looking for storyboard artist/revisionist and directing positions both full-time and freelance! Experience in preschool/kids, adventure/action/comedy, and CGI! Feel free to reach out for samples and more info!✨
Going to be losing my union health insurance at the end of October so if any peeps hear of any union productions looking for an storyboard artist/revisionist or director, please send mine way or give a good word in my direction! ✨🙏 Let me draw many cute doodles for your team!
I'm excited to finally announce that starting on Monday, I will be making my debut as a director on season 2 of "Santiago of the Seas"! Season 1 of Santiago marked the beginning of my industry storyboard artist career and I'm so happy it will be the one that begin directing on!🏴☠️
This is the harsh and sad reality for most animated series right now. Studios take so long between season greenlights that it's hard to get all the same crew back since they've had to move on to other projects.😔 Sometimes a season greenlight will take from 6 months to a year.
LRT that’s what’s so disappointing about the hold on Moon Girl’s S3 greenlight. Storyboards and writers have moved on, I think design and production folks are getting ready to roll off too. Moon Girl is great because of the specific crew members.
@Cheyenne_Curtis
Yeah, that trend really annoys me as well and I think it's harmful to the self-esteem to many artists who don't have the means to pursue a creative job but still want to enjoy their passion. You're still a valid creative even if you don't have a job that focuses on it.
Honestly, the mess with Paramount Plus (and other studios) and the mass deletion of so many amazing series and films that hundreds of people put their hearts and souls into have killed any enthusiasm towards ever showrunning or even pitching series to studios. 💔🥲
Since we're revealing the cringe we drew at 13 because of

I agreed. I've always enjoyed CinemasSins because the narrator VERY OBVIOUSLY pokes fun at themselves and makes it very clear that none of it is meant to be taken very seriously.
After a long struggle, my loving and amazing mom has finally passed away. I'm thankful all of my sisters and I were able to be by her side in her final moments. I'll love and miss her forever.💔
Finished a commission a few days ago. They wanted a picture of Keith as a sheriff riding a horse while holding Lance. As a fan of Texas Keith how could I resist such as wonderful commission?xD

It's like comparing Kiki's Delivery Service to Spirited Away. Luca has a very different story compared to other Pixar films and that's what makes so unique and enjoyable!!

Heya everyone! I'm excited to get to show a bit of the passion project I've been working on in the last year. These are the main characters of the middle-grade fantasy book I've been writing: The faun siblings Panmiel & Omelia and the satyr Hobkin!✨ 🧵...
@oliviapecini
Before we watched the film, my twin sister and I were gushing how excited we were because we heard there would be period talks and jokes in the film. The whole film was such a refreshing delight!💕

When I was volunteering at the TAG booth on Friday at Lightbox, I got to meet a lot of wonderful and friendly artists who were students or in the midst of trying to get their first industry job. 🧵
I'm unfortunately rolling off of my current production a LOT sooner than expected so as a heads up, I'm currently open to any storyboard/directing work! ✨🥲

Unfortunately, this looks to be true. I wish season 2 could have been put up there for a little while before this happened.🥲 Anyway, both seasons of this wonderful series are available to buy on Prime Video, Itunes, and Youtube (also Roku I think?).
#santiagooftheseas
This is very incorrect. Nickelodeon (last within the last decade) only greenlights one season of a show at a time. Sometimes, it will take a year after a second season has completed and the crew has moved on for a new season is picked up.

My end date is coming up for my current production so I'm ready to start job hunting for more storyboard work. Please hit me up with you know any productions hiring for board artists or revisionists! Lots of my studio stuff is still NDA so email me for more info.
Since I was little, I've been a huge fan of the Warriors series by Erin Hunter and it's always been a guilty pleasure to draw my favorite characters as Warrior cats when I'm bored. So last night I drew Prince Lotor as one. He's so pretty.xD

I grew up with five older sisters and STILL was caught by surprise when my period happened because no one- my mom or my older sisters- ever mentioned about their period. I thought I was super sick and remember sobbing in the bathroom until my mom came in to explain it.
Happy Friday! Just finished the amazing season 2 of "Made in Abyss" this week and I have found my new favorite character of the series.✨ I just have a thing for adorable, fluffy but completely unhinged characters.😂❤️

@StoryByErnesto
Exactly! No one is denying how talented and skilled he is, but going to unnecessary and unhealthy lengths for a storyboard sequence (especially when it won't really help anyone else in the production at all) sets a terrible precedent for other board artists.
I'm sorry to say that today is my last day on season 2 of Santiago of the Seas. I'm so happy and proud to have worked with such an amazing crew and on such a lovely, incredible show. Thank you SOTS crew for all the lessons, happy memories, and adventures.💖 Piratas Ahoy!🏴☠️
Happy Mother's Day, especially to my amazing mom. It's been two weeks since she's passed away and there hasn't been a day I haven't thought of her and everything that made her an incredible person and a loving mother. Will always miss you, Mom.💛
In light of the horrible Paramount Plus news, I found an old Santiago of the Seas doodle with a venting Tomas. It feels appropriate.
#SantiagooftheSeas
HAPPY LATE PRIDE YA'LL!🌈Hope everyone enjoyed today's newest Santiago of the Seas episode! Soooo excited that Lorelai's papi, Rio (voiced the by talented Thomas Hobson), has been finally revealed! He and Martin make the cutest couple!!!❤️❤️❤️❤️
#SantiagooftheSeas
Wow, you guys reeeeaaally loved my previous Hamtaro/Voltron drawings.xD Thank you guys so much! Here's some more Klance/Shadam hamster cuteness for ya'll!
This is so true. My last full-time union position ended last October. Since then I've gotten a bit of freelance here and there, but it's been rough, scary, and heartbreaking time for all folks in animation.💔
This article doesn't even mention that pre-strike, studios gutted their animation slates. Many of our kin have been out of work for a year. They could pick up more anim shows - we are not affected by the strikes completely - but they haven't.
@pinkfloyd
How about paying artists to make a music video instead?🙄 Any inexperienced artist reading this post, don't bother with trying to enter this. Contests like are just scams for free labor.
Sooo

I think only when people have actually worked on a 3D show, especially one for television, do you truly understand how difficult and limiting a 3D show can be. It has many great advantages, but it's you're also fighting a lot of disadvantages as well.

fans looking to watch anything else after season 2, there's a new Netflix show called "High Score" that focuses on the history of several retro games- many that are referenced in Glitch Techs like Yar's Revenge.
