Robot Chicken DC Special Write Up

In January 2012 I was offered a freelance story job for the Robot Chicken DC Special. The show had moved to a different studio and reached out to me since I had worked with them before. Like a moron, I took the job despite already working full time as a story artist on the LEGO movie at Animal Logic.

I met with the director and he walked me through the first 20 pages (of a 60 page script), which was all that I could feasibly do in the time I had, since I could only work weekends, and a few hours after working a full day on LEGO. But, I somehow managed to complete what I promised, and here's some of the stuff I boarded:

RCDC, "Opening"

 

RCDC, "Aquaman and the Invisible Jet":

RCDC, "Deadman Waits for No One" (not made):

RCDC, "That's Bane! #2":

And that's that!

EDIT: Sweet, looks like Adult Swim has the whole episode on their channel.

"An Okay Place to Eat" (2010)

In 2009 I worked as the board artist, background artist, and an animator on Sonic Bunny's "An Okay Place to Eat" pilot. It was a lot of work, especially since it was all on the side (I was fully employed at a studio). But, it was worth it.

Freak & Freak Illustrations

In September/October of 2012 I worked freelance for, you guessed it, Sonic Bunny Productions. They were pitching a show idea, "Freak & Freak," to a network and needed illustrations to fill in some gaps in their pitch bible. What I submitted was b&w linework, but I added some tones for this update.

The show would have been a stop-motion animated comedy about a school of circus freaks. Here's what I contributed:

Character Illustrations

Willy, the lizard boy:

Latyr, half-goat, half-boy (and best friend of Willy):

Three-Headed Girls:

Scene Illustrations

Opening illustration:

"The Walkabout" (Willy and Latyr find themselves on a spiritual journey full of hallucinations):

"The Costume Caper" (Willy and Latyr scheme to steal the ringmaster's suit):

"King Miba's New Pet" (Willy and Latyr must rescue their friend, Sherman the Merman, from a ruthless cannibal king):

"Goose is Loose" (an escaped chicken and rabbit interbreed  releasing a horde of hybrid offspring, and it's up to Willy to catch them all):

"Lice Alert!" (The school is hit by a plague of lice, hijinks ensue):

"Barter Stars" (Latyr goes from rags to riches in the barter game, while all Willy wants is his stuffed bear):
