*fall damage*

At wondercon they shared part of a larger sequence I boarded for #lyanu season 2. After 2 years, I'm glad to see so many of my ideas survive notes and revisions, then make it into the final. A huge thanks to my awesome director Darnell Johnson, to Tim Eldred for bringing me on, and the entire team.

I had to omit so many amazing games that I loved just so that this list wouldn't become dominated by a single franchise or developer. But these 9 titles each had a distinctly powerful impact on me. #my9games #私を構成する9つのゲーム

I haven't really cared about pokemon starters for a decade or two, but that new pissed bird? I'm diggin' him.

the bottom image is a pencil drawing of mega man, the lovely little fella. It was done on printer paper at a table in a boba shop in southern california. The top image is a wall of easily hundreds of drawings by shop patrons over the years.

Oh snaps, you got the whole FF8 play-arts lineup on the tv?! Yoooooo

A while back I had the amazing opportunity to join my friend (and a phenomenal storyteller) Brian McDonald on his podcast. Join us as we chat about boards, animation, my art journey, & hear me gush about FLCL and its effect on the heart of a high school kid

OH-OKAY. They weren't playin' around:

I love that no matter how the years pass or fidelity increases, kirby music still sounds like kirby music- and goes incredibly hard. (it's nearly enough to sell me a switch 2)

A stylized version of Gaffgarion from Final Fantasy Tactics. A knight in rough looking armor. Long slender face. Big moustache.

Doodlin' more #FinalFantasyTactics, and this time: Gaffgarion

Our show finally dropped and it came out beautifully! I had a great time working on this one with some really cool folks, and hope y'all have a great time watching it. Check out #TheSistersGrimm on appletv.

(and take a peek at this sequence I storyboarded!)

I think I understand. Perhaps peeps appear/behave in a callous/uncaring way. No space to unpack this sadly, but anticipation of the end: should motivate toward compassion and love, rather than gloating or reveling; then, in a world full of injustice, it's a reminder that wrongs will be righted

Heya fellow internet denizen :)

There's a concise treatment (www.gotquestions.org/144000.html) but TLDR: a '144K hard limit' is imposed on the text & disregards its immediate context. The very next sentence describes an innumerable multitude comprised of all nations/tribes/peoples/languages.

Welp, looks like I'm gonna need a neck brace.

Apple's Press Release

A drawing of 3 really cool people.

The 'sanin' of my verse, to put things in Naruto terms. Now, wanna spot me a million bucks so I can license MJ music for this project?

Shout outs to the local public library.

The New Adventures of Winnie the Pooh, end credits. TMS Entertainment.

The kiddos are watching "The New Adventures of Winnie the Pooh" and I'm like, what's with this gorgeous, quality animation???

Then I see this in the credits and of course it's TMS Entertainment lol.

Hmmm, interesting- I hadn't read that. I think for most players, assuming you aren't trying to optimize stats or something, you'll find the whole cast of 12 interchangeable.

You're free to build out your party however you see fit, including who you do/don't decide to use, without punishment

A doodle of me adjusting my glasses.

Oh. And catch me on steam if you want these hands. -7/7

I'm at my desk but reaching toward you to pass you a pencil.

Why don't you try it? Grab some MVC2 footage, pause at random, then draw! The normal attacks are an inspiring study in putting character in an action! #drawanormal -6/7

A doodle of me excited

Like, seriously?!

And yeah it's darkstalkers reuse, but that only proves how strong Capcom's pose game was, even across projects.

Talk about readable!
Talk about dynamic!
Talk about unique!

Absolutely inspiring stuff. -5/7

I'm at my desk. I turn and it's AK leaning around my cubicle wall.

Like, the other day I'm on YouTube watching JWong run low-tiers, when AK came to ask me to help her out for a sec. Then back at my desk I see this paused pose -3/7:

Gesture sketches if fighting game poses. Strider, Doom, Cyclops, Ryu, Storm, Silver Samurai, etc.

I still play. And each day I'm more and more impressed by just how strong Capcom's pose game was. Any given moment there's some striking shape to drink in. -2/7
