Here's one of the main rat character, Reese.

And here's one of a meter maid.


Looking great so far!

Opossum furry/anthro characters are cool as heck. Remember Sparkster (Rocket Knight Adventures)?

Happy New Year, I hope everyone had a great Christmas and holiday!


I'm still on my time off from school, and I've been able to do a lot of artwork so far. As for my concurrent senior film, I also intend on using this time to animate more scenes. More to come on that!


I've begun storyboarding the next major Hyper-Breakers cartoon, and I tried to go all-out on the storyboards. I'd like to share a sample of what the boards look like!

Doing this was very much a worthwhile exercise, I think. While I could have made chicken scratch storyboards, putting more detail gives me a clearer picture of what I want to show. I've noticed that if I leave things too ambiguous/unclear, when the time comes to animate I become intimidated and would not want to work on a scene at all. I would be doing more guesswork rather than just having a stronger storyboard to begin with.


Unlike this episode's predecessor, Caffeinated Chaos, I'm aiming for it to be a two-parter instead of a three-parter... for my own sanity lmao. I'm also hoping that the overall story is stronger too, I think I've improved slightly more as a writer since my last go-around with these characters.
