Let’s make your idea real

You’re here because you want to bring an idea to life. Maybe you want authentic Deaf representation in your story. Maybe you want a piece of art just for you. Or maybe you have a bigger project and you’re not sure where to start.

I do all my work myself. That makes me a great fit for small and medium projects. For a big project that needs a full team, I can help you plan it, set a realistic scope, and tell you which other roles you’ll need.

How big is my project?

I am one person. An animation isn’t one job. It’s a lot of jobs stacked on top of each other, and each one takes real time.

What each role is

Character design
How each character looks, from every angle. Time: pending
Background design
The places your characters live in. Time: pending
Animatic
The storyboard timed into a rough moving draft. Time: pending
Rough, lineart and color animation

How to lower the price

Your prep checklist

  • What it is, in a sentence or two
  • Character references or designs
