You know I never noticed in this cut that the insert is pure reaction. The hit already happened and we get an insert of just the follow through. I think western media trains us to cut on the impact itself but this is like icing on a brilliant cake.

I don’t post a ton of personal info on here for the sake of privacy but I just spent a week in the hospital with my incredible wife working on bringing home our first daughter. Spike(not her real name) is funny & sweet & really clever. I’ve finally earned my terrible dad jokes.

No controversial takes today. Just thinking about some sage advice I’ve heard over and over that’s finally sinking in. That great idea for a fic or fanart or the wish to make something with your favorite characters could be a great basis for your own original project.

The Batgirl/Harley fight from BBRoTJ is one of those apex scenes for me. It's so masterfully done.

Not every Sag/Aftra Actor is making Tom Cruise Money. Not every Writer in the WGA is making Aaron Sorkin money.
Just like the 'real' world those are the 1% & the rest are just trying to live. Entertainment can appear like some glamorous thing, but it's still a pay tiered job.

Akira Toriyama helped me stop getting bullied in Jr High. A couple of kids used to slap me around and when I drew a Vegeta in art class they asked for it and I gave it to them. They never bothered me again.

Lots of productions out there burning people out but let me tell you. I got to do a little bit of work on My Adventures With Superman and man. What a great crew. Rarely do I come across a production so well run and with such great folks on it as that. Just some positivity.

I know a lot of us say it but it bears repeating. If you’re trying to get a storyboarding job, please make your boards easy to find. Doesn’t have to be a professional website but just find a way to make your work shine for you.

Singing a Boyz II Men song on IG. It threw me back to nostalgia so I pulled up the song on Spotify and the baby was dancing along until dada started singing. she looked me dead in the eyes and covered her ears with both hands. Critic.

After Arcane I gotta think long & hard about what video game property I would try to bring to series.
Top of my head would be
Legend of Zelda as a 2d animated miyazaki inspired fantasy story. Each season a different timeline.
or
Nier Automata if I want people to cry a lot.

Whenever I & many board artists start a new show we often draw characters in action over & over trying to find the simplest shorthand they can that still conveys the needed info & also will be enjoyable to draw thru. Finding your shorthand is a great first step on a new job.

Odd thing I’ve noticed watching older animated series. The 4:3 format forced a lot more use of depth of field. Really nice compositions in this because they were forced to make use of the smaller work area.

Had a dream last night where I was playing a guest char on Critical Role. He's a spoiled prince gunslinger class who knew of VM as legends & fixated on Percy as a fearless badass who ran headlong into danger. He decided Royals Only Live Once & would run into combat shouting ROLO.

I can't recall if I've ever drawn Tatsumaki before. Pretty sure I've only ever really drawn Saitama and Genos. I really need to make more OPM Fanart in 2020.

Working on CG shows, I truly appreciate animation moments like this. So often it's a compromise of assets and nuance so you just have to cut a moment because it's hard to pull off and yet here's this truly complicated cg animation moment there for character building.
