Sketchbook Quickie - Japan Stock Character Types

I don't like to post more than once in the same day, but i did!!! Guh!

Just some fun playing with some of the awesome stock character imagery of Period-era Japanese mangas! I love the scenarios of Japanese history- such an interesting mix.

Some Visual Design for "Dino Boy"

The main hero for this animatic was meant to be an accessible, generally-relatable little boy character we are used to seeing in most television series and games. I didn't want to give him too many extreme features. The more identifiable the better, and the more general, the more kids can feel that they are like or know a kid like him.


In some cases, this is a good thing for a protagonist. He's a kid who saves his parents by befriending dinosaurs- a basic idea but the appeal is core. I wasn't sure what kind of adventures he'd have, so i tried out a lot of different looks. Spy, army guy, etc.

Animatic: Dino Boy

An animatic for a pitch for a saturday-morning series I came up with.

My foray into Pixelation

Pixelation, apparently, refers to the stop-animation of humans. Don't ask me why.

MEGAMAN Fan Art!

That's right!

I had to throw back to the original box art and the old 8-bit graphics. This is my interpretation.
I'll do another treatment of the more accepted megaman soon.
