Hi! I'm currently a storyboard artist and character designer at Disney TV working on Wander Over Yonder! I just finished a 6 year run as a story artist at DreamWorks were I boarded on How To Train Your Dragon among other movies. I'm an Emmy Award winner for my character designs on "Foster's Home for Imaginary Friends". I've worked as a storyboard artist and character designer at Nickelodeon on Danny Phantom, and a character designer at Disney TV for too many projects to list. I've been nominated for 7 Annie Awards and have recently self published my first graphic novel: "Seaweed, and the Cure for Mildew." All work is is a copyright of me unless it's for some studio I'm working for.

These are amazing! I worked on an independent comic idea a few years ago, called "Star Hook" - she looks like she would fit right in. Great style and I love the negative version of her. Cool.
Gotta love her hair. Your character designs are simply awesome! I love 'em all! ^^ Wish I could draw character poses like that,you RAWK! ;)
I love it. great stuff
Great character design!I like the idea of hair style.
great character. i especially like the close up on the second page. really nice.
Thanks everyone. Willipino, that's actually my favorite one as well. The style for "Crash" was inspired by my love for French and Belgian Comics. In particular we looked at the work of Didier Conrad, and Simon Leturgie. If people are interested in buying their books you can find them on Amazon.fr or a great site called BDNet.
Some really nice design work. Love how you ended up handling her hair.
Awesome design. Your work is very inspirational man.
its cool to see the multiple versions you went through to get to your final.
Really nice, Ben...I'd love to see her in some kick-ass action poses!
Love it! Ani Rules!
Cripes Mugambo! Never shut this blog down, PLEASE! Every visit is like a shot of heroine to my eyes. Not that I'd know anything about heroine...[note to self: this comments column knows too much...]
