More Mildew
I'm inkin' and colorin' like mad whenever I get a moments break from "Foster's". I'm tryin' not to show too much, or too many new characters, so here's more of Mildew the bat.

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.

Great Ben, i love your quick sketches, a lot of action for this ones, very nice.
very expressive guy, really cool character
I love to see the ruffs! So neat to see how a pro does it. Do you use regular copy paper, animation paper or do you have a preference?
Please post more stuff! I got a fever, and the only prescription is more characters!
THese are so animated and expressive!! AWESOME!
This is a really cool character. Very nice to see the rough drawings too. Looking foward to this book more and more!
Very very awesome :)
Ahaaa, finally worked out how to comment... finally i can say it, YOU ARE MY ROLE MODEL! your work is fantstic! I was toying with the idea of trying to get into character design and story boarding, and once i saw your work it just sealed the deal. I found you through Danny Phantom fans on Devart, i just love to see your DP storyboards ^.^
Ben: Please change the banner image so that it links to your blog's main page. Thanks!

Man! Love these drawings!
Hehe! So when will this book be out? And where could one get one?
Thanks everyone!
Tedrex-I work on animation paper, the smoother the better!
Chris-Unfortunately, I've still got a lot to go. My full-time job takes up A LOT of time, so I don't get much time to devote to "Seaweed." Hopefully it'll be done by this summer. You'll be able to buy it right here.
Michael- Your wish is my command! Done. Good idea, thanks!
