Strivfe - "THE HOURGLASS" Title Card

As previously mentioned, I'm being commissioned to paint title cards for songs on a new album by my old friend Steve Ventresca, aka Strivfe, who I've previously animated music videos for when I was in college (and developed EEnE fanprojects with in high school, lol).  This was the third title card painting I...

Strivfe - "YEAH YEAH YEAH" Title Card

As previously mentioned, I'm being commissioned to paint title cards for songs on a new album by my old friend Steve Ventresca, aka Strivfe, who I've previously animated music videos for when I was in college (and developed EEnE fanprojects with in high school, lol).  This was the fourth title card painting I did, I'm po...

Strivfe - "REFLECTIONS" Title Card

As previously mentioned, I'm being commissioned to paint title cards for songs on a new album by my old friend Steve Ventresca, aka Strivfe, who I've previously animated music videos for when I was in college (and developed EEnE fanprojects with in high school, lol).  This was the first title card painting I ever did and...

Strivfe - "COASTAL HIGHWAY" Title Card

As previously mentioned, I'm being commissioned to paint title cards for songs on a new album by my old friend Steve Ventresca, aka Strivfe, who I've previously animated music videos for when I was in college (and developed EEnE fanprojects with in high school, lol).  I think this was the second of the digital paintings ...

Smashbits #29: "TV Pilot" - Intergalactic Pizza Delivery Guy Ep 3

This was originally ten 3-minute-episodes that ended up getting edited together a little weird, Part 3 consists of episodes 101 (the opening flashback) and 108-110.  In Part 3, I contributed to parts of 101, and 90% of the faces for 109-110.  Weird story about that: some of the faces in this part don't match what I ...

Smashbits #28: "TV Pilot" - Intergalactic Pizza Delivery Guy Ep 2

Meant to put this up on Monday but I'm still a little out of sync with the world after being in so deep with this project for 2 months, whoops!

This is probably my favorite of the episodes, because it's the most emotional set of storylines, and also because I was under the least stress with the deadline for this act of ...

Smashbits #27: "TV Pilot" - Intergalactic Pizza Delivery Guy Ep 1

Once again, I'm crawling back out of the shadows with something Smashbits begged me to be a part of!  This one was ROUGH and I'm gonna tell you the gritty details, but if nothing else, I'm proud to say this is at least one of the LONGEST animations I've ever been a part of.  That said, it consumed every waking momen...

Parker Plays S2E3 - Space Team [As Seen On TV]

 Just the cartoon!  Available in full quality thanks to Disney XD uploading this season's 2 full Parker cartoons to their official Youtube!  Isn't that neato?  I'm not even sure if they've uploaded anything live action from the season, it seems like that channel focused exclusively on my contribution... awww!...

Parker Plays S2E3 - Space Team Full Scene [As Seen On TV]

So normally I just upload MY clips from Parker Plays, but I thought this cartoon might be hard to understand out of context.  The full raw-footage they gave me to explain what I was supposed to draw was barely half of what plays here, so I feel like seeing the full clip REALLY helps explain what this game is about..  N...

Parker Plays S1E1 - Park Parker [As Seen On TV]

And to finish off my triple-update, here's a better quality recording of my very first clip from Parker Plays on Disney XD!  Originally posted here as Smashbits #15, made from May-June 2017, and original TV airdate was July 15, 2017. 

This clip happens around 7 minutes into the first episode, which should still be av...

Part Two of my update!  The long-awaited recording of my sec...

Parker Plays S2E2 - Cold Open + Theme Clip [As Seen On TV]

Sorry for the delay on posting my TV-aired Parker Plays animations, I had a hell of a time trying to get payment from Smashbits and the past few months have been a nightmare, but I'm back and I've prepared my recordings!  To make up for the delay, this includes both my short cold open animation and the Season 2 theme song, ...

Smashbits #24: DISNEY XD - Parker Plays First Job FINISHED ANIMATION

This will most likely be my last Parker Plays short unless Disney XD picks them up for a third season, but they decided to end this season's animated sequences with one that's fully animated with no live action!  It was a complicated one to board because I had no script, just a live action video of Parker telling t...

Smashbits #23: DISNEY XD - Parker Plays Cold Open FINISHED ANIMATION

Here's the most CINEMATIC Parker Plays animation I'll probably ever do!  It's only a 5 second gag but it's going to be the cold opening to an episode in Season 2 so I wanted to really sell that "expensive animation" gag.  I got this one done ahead of schedule, so I also used it as an opportunity to flex my hig...

Smashbits #22: DISNEY XD - Parker Plays Space Team FINISHED ANIMATION

Two weeks ago I hinted at a special Smashbits project, and here it is... That's right, Parker Plays got picked up for a second season and asked for me to do another short sequence for them!  Turns out season 1 has been playing every weekday, so apparently it's been picking up in the ratings and my shorts from last ...

Al + Jim in "HOOP-A-JOOP" - Silent Short Film Animatic

Here's a small update to the short film animatic I shared earlier this year!  Just a couple new shots and some adjusted timing from before I started working on the backgrounds.  This short film technically doubles as a pilot for my TV series idea, Hoop-a-Joop, which you can read about on my art blog:

Smashbits #21: Overwatch Music Video - "One Of A Kind" -RELEASED ANIMATION-

WOW, busy night for released Overwatch animations, huh?  I just found out the client released this on April Fool's Day!  That certainly helps explain why it's so goofy.  I hope you enjoy, I'm excited to finally start showing this thing to people!

Smashbits #19-20: Overwatch RELEASED ANIMATION

Remember those two episodes of an unreleased Smashbits Overwatch cartoon I hated and quit before I completed?  Well, the studio apparently had somebody else finish them as quickly as possible and combined the two bad cartoons into ONE bad cartoon to release this past weekend.  Now for your schadenfreude, I present this...

Smashbits #21: Overwatch Music Video - "One Of A Kind" -Full Animation-

Woo!  Near the end of January, Smashbits asked me to do this and it was my highest budget freelance project so far!  However I only had 8 weeks to do it so it was quite a bit of stress.  That's not a lot of time to design so many detailed characters, make an animatic, make all the backgrounds and animate all the c...

Al + Jim in "HOOP-A-JOOP" - A Silent Rough Animatic For A Short Film

Here's a short film project I've been developing between my freelance work!  I'm very excited to share this, I've been hinting at it for a while, and meant to show you all the storyboards first, but... oh well!  This is the animatic, which is the stage after storyboards that allows you to time out how the cartoon will ...

Smashbits #20: Overwatch Ep2 ANIMATIC

This is my least favorite Smashbits thing I've done so I'm just gonna post a few things related to it and then post a better commission I did earlier today!

This is the half of ep 2 I did an animatic of before quitting this project.  The writers ended up being unable to come up with enough material to even fi...
