This is my first public Reel in nearly 8 years. I'm looking for work.

Hey I think everybody has seen the pilot by now. I worked on it and was carefully excited about it, now I am glad it's getting a lot of attention. Hoever I have a little bitter resentment on my involvement and feel like I should get this pettiness out of my chest.

It's kind of a stupid story so I think it's worth telling. I was contacted directly by the studio that handled the animation and was quite flattered to be invited to such a cool project, they showed me the animatic and set (what at the time seemed to me like) reasonable rates (more on that some other time). It seemed like a breath of fresh air in terms of animation, I've had been working on a pre-school show at the time and was fucking sick of it.

Pibby seemed like a refreshing project that would reinvigorate my will to animate and maybe even get me some really nice shots for my demo.

Imagine my disappointment when I was handed only the first 4 shots... yeah, the ones that are meant to look exactly like a preschool show just as limited as the one I was working on...

It's been almost 2 years since, and I still struggle to get excited about new projects. Even cool ones.

Is this how animators get jaded?

First of all, welcome to everybody who chose to follow me in the past few days, I appreciate your interest and plan to be posting more often. In the meantime please enjoy my previous animations and drawings. I am a little lost as of what to do next so I would appreciate knowing what you enjoy the most out of the things I've posted.

The past week has been pretty terrible,as I've been struggling with a family situation, that has kind of improved.

Fortunately the planets aligned and the collab went up, and oh my God, it came out super slick!

Watching it with the whole team was extremely uplifting! The incredibly positive response of the community has given me so much energy as well.

Now for some context on my cartoon Virginia is (not) for Virgins. I thought it'd be funny to poke fun at stupid crossover ships and fanfics like Shadow and Shrek; a theme I thought I could hint at through a Chris-Chan refference, maybe I shoul've leaned more to some dimensional merge shit for that o be more obvious... Nevertheless the reference ties nicely to the style of rebuild titles.

Regardless I chose Nigel in part cause his name ends in "EL" like all angels and in part cause he is so fucking odd looking.

I think I did a really poor job of thinking of a proper story and Dialogue to tell it, and attempted some obscure and unfunny jokes. And I can't blame that on the thing I'm spoofing.

My main focus went on BGs, Layout and Lip sync. I wanted to improve on those areas and had a lot of fun doing them. I heavily referenced the show and the original production designs.

This is what most shots looked like inside the symbols, littered with references:

After nearly a Year, my part for the Evangelion Collab is Finally Finished.

It's been over a decade since I was on a collab so I am very excited for this new one to come out.

Everybody did an amazing job and really soon the world will see all the effort and love for Evangelion we had to offer.

Anyways, here are a couple of silly frames.

I'm currently working on my part for the Evangelion Collab. I'm learning a lot from it and it will hopefully come out soon. Everybody is doing an amazing job! I Can`t wait.
