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.

Looks great Ben!
Damn, man. You really are in a class by your self. These characters are great!
Hey, that's very very cool! Especially the 2nd page.
Love your line weights and your super clean style. The poses are great! Do you just do the pencils and have someone do the character clean up?

Great poses, Ben! The style doesnt feel much like Foster's anymore though. I think you're over-volumizing the designs. They need more simplifcation.
