I’ve seen a lot of posts about whether Zagreus is gonna be a boss or the narrator or retired in Hades 2 and they’re all great but listen. What if he’s also been captured and the damsel in distress role

finding my sketches for sammy's contact pic got my brain churning, so here's some more for the n6 based off some of my own contact photos

I had a headcanon (just my personal idea, not canon in any way) that Darius left his dinosaur necklace in Brooklynn's grave and that's why he doesn't wear it anymore

How bout that season 2 teaser huh?? I got to be part of the team that storyboarded the first episode of season 2, and it was incredible seeing a roomful of audience react live to the episode!!!!!! Some of the shots that I storyboarded are shown in the teaser!

Some of the photos I took of the cast and showrunners at the Chaos Theory panel yesterday : )

Nat is so good, this scene is in every trailer and teaser (as it should be).

some favourite shots I did for episode 6... it was so fun crafting the final bridge scene from Travis' script, and seriously all the credit for the amazing opening seq goes to our EP Aaron for taking the emotion in Yaz's exposure therapy to the next level!

Inspo for this ep mainly came from the Alebrijes attack and car chase boards from the Coco blu-ray deleted scenes. Seriously yall, if you're an aspiring board artist, go watch those, they're all masterclasses in camera, framing, and acting.

Some thoughts below about these boards if yall are interested...

Becklespinaxes - there was a LOT of research that went into becklespinaxes (aka altispinaxes) to make this bridge scene happen. In the original script, there was the idea that Blondie (the yellow becklespinax) would be ramming and spinning the side of the van all over the bridge from the beginning, all while ben was still driving forward and Sammy was trying to climb the side latter of the van and into Yaz's window. - I think in writing it made for a really rad scene, but there were some concerns that the physics of all of that, as well as some staging issues, so I dove into becklespinax research to see if some of these problems could be fixed by grounding the conflict in the dino's hunting/attack styles - From what I can remember, as a mid-sized theropod, the becklespinax would've hunted small sauropods and the like, not van-sized dinos, so having her ramming the side of the van was out. Instead, I theorized the becklespinax would more likely be interested in rooting out the tastey treats inside, like a bird fishing out grubs from inside a tree or log. Thus, Blondie jamming her head into the window was born - From there on I tried to keep the van-and-dino physics and behaviours as grounded as possible, but i'll be the first to admit that physics was never my strong suit and sometimes the plot's just gotta come first over science

One detail I loved that unfortunately seemed to get passed over in animation was the way the second becklespinax, Brownie, entered the shot from behind the camera, and covered up the "NOW LEAVING DINOSAUR FREE ZONE" to just be "NOW DINOSAUR ZONE". Corny, I know! But it felt right and I was heartbroken to see that it wasn't caught in time to be able to go back and change it

Also no heart by sammy's name on yaz's phone :( idk why, sorry gang

About boards, an interesting thing to keep in mind was that even though this bridge may seem like a pretty isolated and simple set, there were actually several moments/shots that I didn't end up using because they revealed too much of the background, specifically the exterior island set and the exterior mainland sets that connected to the bridge! That's right, in the actual set models, those parts are just the cliff ledges and a bit on the sides, everything else would have to be what's called a paintover. That's something for aspiring storyboard artists to keep in mind about working on 3D TV shows: the sets come before storyboards in the pipeline, so often you have to make what you want to do work to the set, and not the other way around like in feature!

Yasammy Week Day 3! (Prom)

I was so excited to draw this I love drawing dresses so much!! I think it led to my dress up game addiction when I was younger

This was not what my prom was like but I wish I got a proper one with a cute theme yk, so i made the background like an enchanted forest type of thing.

Yasammy Week Day 7 (Free Day)

I love an AU guyz!! I reached 100% neuron activation while drawing this

I imagine them both leading separate pirate crews and they’re like rival captains but Yaz takes it way too seriously and Sammy thinks they’re basically dating (and she’s real for that)

((Sorry I’m late with this but happy Yasammy week! It’s been great seeing everyone’s art and participating in this for the first time <3

Cross-posting some Chaos Theory Crew Continued silliness- but did you know, during the shows production, the board team started a tradition where when we traveled places, we'd take a little sad kenji with us?

Remembering it now as I remembered I have mine as I'm traveling today

But, here's a small collection of some of what I'm calling our Sad Kenji Tour

Anyway there's maybe slight different ones on my Twitter but this is just some from all our combined travels ^v^ but kenji has gone many places uvu may one day he find peace on his journeys this poor guy
