For those of you who don’t know, I’m teaching a class on Visdev with a focus on personal aesthetic growth in October this year! signups for the Spectator option are still available! Come learn with us! the last session was a blast.
People keep saying our TMNT movie looks like Spiderverse which I understand, its an easy reference point for people. But for people who dont know, there are like 8 people on the turtles art team that worked on one or both of the Spiderverse films including myself (the second one)
Grocery props for TMNT Mutant Mayhem. Painting less story important items like these for work is such a great rest from doing more heavy lifting concept work. Nice to just be 100 percent focused on painting a banana

A very early painting I did for Across the

we were early in developing the look of Spider-Man India’s world. Lots of inspiration taken from classic Indian Indrajal comics. The aesthetic and broad choices had been set by

Even more that that though, an even bigger percentage of us worked on the Mitchell’s vs the Machines which I would say is a better reference than spidy. Just so people know!
A bunch of iterations I did for the 2099 spider-force Headquarters. We did a ton of iterations. Worked w lot with
@okeefe_artist
on dialing in the aesthetic and design on these. I did maybe 40 iterations before I got to this point

4 paintings by me of our 4 favorite boys for TMNT Mutant Mayhem 🥷🐢 almost 4 months after the movie is out and i’m still in shock that I got to contribute significantly to a franchise i loved so much as a kid, I feel so greatful 💚🫡

A bunch of designs I did of the exterior of Mumbattan Alchemax for Across the
@SpiderVerse
. Did a ton of iterations for this, after rewrites they went a different direction. Love the final version in the movie!

And just to be clear, I think Spider-verse rocks and is beautiful and it opened the door for us to try something new. And I’m so stoked for the scone one and not just because I worked on it. But I think saying we were “inspired” by it is incorrect.
#TMNTMutantMayhem
one of my earliest assignments when working on
#MutantMayhem
, an unfinished version of this was actually leaked mid 2021. This was before we had figured out who the main villain was, before superfly. lots of little hidden stuff in this

my four favorite Set Designs i did for
@TMNTMovie
. Baxter’s Basement, Baxter’s Staten Island House exterior, Brooklyn bridge park and our first major text environment the Bodega Exterior.

Across the Spiderverse 2099 universe architecture/watch
-force headquarters explorations. I made these in Early 2021, there were some changes made to the architecture in Miguel’s Nueva York after I rolled off so they got redesigned for the final product.

A big chunk of the character design work i did for

Two wacky alternate Jessica Drew’s I pitched while I was workin on designing her motorcycle. Her design, costume, ethnicity and pregnant-ness hadn’t been decided yet. Had a great time with these. Got some laughs in the review room.

Baxter Stockman’s house. An early set design I did for
@TMNTMovie
. I went on a research trip to NYC and pitched Staten Island as the location for this set. And it stuck !! The old version of the story had way more scenes set here. Glad it survived to!

TMNT MUTANT Mayhem prop dump!
Props can be super fun. It’s a great way to get in-stuck on a set. Design some props and get some wins on the board. First yo are April’s phone case and stickers and bebop’s Boombox Sketchy boarder by AD

Original Baxter stockman Basement painting by me. Loved making this. Early on this location played a bigger part in the story. We returned to it multiple times. Baxter exploded an alligator in the kitty pool. Can you find the Easter egg?

a bunch of keys i did for the mid credit sequences of

old TCRI guard designs from an old script. I don’t get to do much character design at work so I had a lot of fun with these! Glad we ended up going in a different direction though.

I did the drawing and design for Baxter Stockman’s notes in
@TMNTMovie
, almost all of the drawings were done traditionally. I wanted his style to be a cruder version of a 19th century naturalists notes. These spear on screen in the opening!

My favorite paintings I made while in meteora. I’ve wanted to visit this place since sophomore year of college (8-9 years ago 🤭), I found out about Meteora digging for reference online. Felt like completing a circle to make these paintings

Screencaps from the new

trailer. Working on this was very hard and so worth it. I grew a lot on this project. The pandemic made everything harder and this was no exception. The team finishing it are Heroes. So stoked for June.
@AshD1385
@marcorubio
yeah thats definitely a logo from the videogame "dishonored", great game. probably the only think i would agree with that guy on.
Shots from our new trailer for TMNT mutant mayhem. It was the honored of a lifetime getting to work on this project as a concept artist. A real dream come true.

I think this early Spider-Punk test ended up being my main contribution to
#AcrossTheSpiderVerse
I was concerned that having him change looks so often would be too disorienting for an entire film, but the directors told me they wanted to do it anyway.
4 paintings from an old version of TMNT Mutant Mayhem. originally the turtles went to high school at the beginning of the film and went to the white house/pentagon and new york city hall ad part of a crazy “reveal to the world” montage

mock up I made for the News footage in
@TMNTMovie
, these are me taking existing painting or characters (by me and other artists) and repainting and piecing them together with text, etc. A fun weird detail part of Visdev, we often refer to this type of work as “surfacing”

4 color keys i did for the April Puke flashback scene in

is a total blast. Easily the best incarnation of the characters since the 1990 live-action feature, it’s full of wild animation and wilder ideas. And the Reznor/Ross score is outstanding. Just terrific. Can’t wait to watch again🐢
Explosion and destruction FX design for Tmnt Mutant Mayhem , these are from the ice cream heist and general act 3 destruction stuff.

Some old concept art i did for Where The Water Tastes like Wine back in 2015/16! A different era! Sometimes I miss the creative freedom of indie games, I love working in animation, the two scenes just come with different restrictions
