I wanted to redesign my golem girl OC from @joshdamn23's I Was a Teenage Monster (& named her Gretchen) after seeing he drew her in his latest comic. Thanks again Josh!!

A warmup illustration of Minah from @pringusmcdingus ‘s new video, Battle Tutorials.

I've wanted to do a DTIYS drawing of this character for a while, so I thought this would be the perfect reason to :P

Last year I started working on a short animatic for my Dim Bulbs series. I’ve been working on it on & off since for the last few months, but I posted a WIP clip a while ago for Indie Animation Day. This is technically part 1 since it's beginning of the animatic, but I hope you guys enjoy!!

Voice Cast:

Buddy- Lee Bergantino

Hal- William Klein

Dawn- Jonna-Lynn Alonso

My reaction to the Elemental Monekys in the Legends ZA trailer

A small Hoshi redraw for a warmup.

I was just going to draw Hoshi by themself, but since I added the shading I ended up adding the background too :P

I'm super excited for the Cleveland Fan Expo this weekend! For anyone attending, I'll be at Table A817 if anyone's to check out my stuff. Hope to see you then!!

Every St. Patrick’s Day I draw a Cartoon Saloon character as a personal drawing challenge to test my digital art skills (first it was Aisling from The Secret of Kells, but now I draw Robyn & Mebh from Wolfwalkers).

I didn’t have much time this year, but I liked how it turned out

[zachsketches]

I haven't drawn these two in a while :P

A little warmup I'm doing in between projects #wip

Happy #IndieAnimationDay everyone !! Not many people know, but I'm part of a co-op indie animation studio called ‪ChickenCOOP Animation (YouTube/Bluesky) & one of the things we've been doing is making short animatics. This one is created by Bri Gallagher and I did the storyboards & voices for. It's definitely one of the funniest & craziest things I've done yet!!

A quick warmup

A Gangle warmup 😄😭.

Quick update: I’ll be having my first official artist alley spot at Fan Expo Cleveland this March. I’ll post more info soon, but I’m super excited about this & I can’t wait to see everyone there!!

I tried redesigning Amy as a fun warmup sketch and got a little carried away 🙃

I wanted something that combined her current design with her CD design since I always liked both.

I wanted to get one last drawing in before 2024 ends

This year was a complete s*** show in terms of politics, world events, and the job market in the animation industry. And while this year had some low points for me, it’s to so many of my biggest accomplishments. I worked on tons of projects, finally started voice acting, had several vendor sales, made tons of connections, and was able to work on passion project I’ve been developing for nearly 10 years (and I still have things coming up). I finally feel like a professional after faking as one for so long and I’m so grateful for the opportunities I’ve made and people I’ve met this year.

Thanks so much to everyone who’s given me and my art chance & I promise that I’ll do my best to provide you with even more big announcements. Here’s hoping that 2025 leads to even bigger opportunities!!

I've been getting more into voice acting, so I asked Lexie Shamir to help me make a character demo reel. She's an amazing VA director and the final version came out great!! Hope you guys like it.

SIDE NOTE: All of these voices are hypothetical roles since I don't have any professional experience yet, but I'm planning on doing more auditions in 2025
