It's been almost a year since I posted on my blog! Well if there's anyone left checking it out here's some concepts and designs I drew of a character in the newest episode of Wander Over Yonder over on Disney XD: "The Guru". The Guru appears in one of my favorite episodes of the series, "The Epic Quest of Unfathomable Difficulty!!!". This episode was LOADED with fun characters and was an absolute gift to get to work on! <br />

Any of you who are interested in becoming a story artist need to go check out the brilliant work of Darren Webb. D Webb is one of those guys who gets to go on movies at the first stages cause he comes up with great ideas that always fit within and help the theme of the story. He's one of those guys who makes you mad cause he comes up with ideas that you wish you had thought of, and wonder why you didn't. Check out his early work on How to Train Your Dragon and all the great stuff I know he's got comin' up very soon from his work on Guardians!

Mark Gruenwald, (one time editor in chief of Marvel) was a student of my Dad's at the University of Wisconsin, Oshkosh and that gave me extra inspiration that I could make it there one day. Eventually my interests steered towards animation, but I still would like to illustrate a comic for Marvel one day if I got the opportunity. Here are the first 25 characters in my top 50 list. (#'s 25-#1 will get posted some other day, but it might take awhile). Once I finish all 50 my plan is to auction the original art on ebay and donate the proceeds to MS research. More on that whenever I finish the rest.<br /><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-wUzknromN28/Tro3ITSUPMI/AAAAAAAAArg/G9uwPXE3Xy0/s1600/50.jpg"><img style="display:block;
