hi buddy

Happy #PortfolioDay Name is Derrick Malik Johnson, have over 6 years experience in the US animation industry as a Storyboard Artist, Revisionist and Layout Artist while working in the Japanese animation industry as LO, Nigen and Genga. Currently looking for work #rkgk #animation

sounds like youre ready to fully do your own stuff
i know many who are like this and used work to help pay the bills but carry that energy into their own. Seeing others like @miraongchua.com @catcoconut.com @kenzyxart.bsky.social @jazlyte.bsky.social @licree.bsky.social is inspirational as hell

Overall it boils down to GPA and the requirements for the program.

ero i swear your art is chief kiss!

nothing wrong with that, we need more bbm and twinks though lol

draw fanart and draw characters you like to warm you up and then add your own flare to them.

honest to good been using the logitech MX for this very reason

the icon || the artist || the work

That’s what the fuck I’m saying

Me and him bumped heads a few years ago on his takes and wanting to show a call to action to support shows after their cancellation but choose not to support shows that might need attention or support. It always felt, imma do the bare minimum when its already too late.

I will go on the record that i dont care for SS on how he interacts with animation but can more in the messaging or core behind whats being shown. In this case is more adult stories and choosing to bastardize it which throws me because we can have a converstation and not needing to use kids to tell

naw

Hated the anime with the whole Hunter plot line

i swear

Right?!

Right!?!?

I fucking love that series to this day

Naw, it was the release of the OVAs

Happy birthday buddy

It’s the way to go, physical media is the move right now

Appreciate it man

Time is an illusion lol

Of course man and imma say i learned a lot from you and taking that on personal and other shows. I know when things get better our path cross again in the workspace aspect but also wanting them to go on, man i wouldve loved it.

This show was a gem/masterpiece

You guys made magic with this show and loved working with ya adjacency on Jessica because COTC was such as strong cornerstone in something I wanna create

No more photoshop hell

Homie same, I keep forgetting I have it and can play videogames

Ok I’m bringing this back and updating from the previous attempt, (lost the file) hit 12k here and would love to draw mutuals and peoples oc’s to act as good warm up and keep experimenting with limited color palette. If you want your OC drawn submit them down below and I’ll pick 2 a day to draw
