Over the last few days I held a small, open auditions for artists to submit their interpretation of a storyboard for StiB Zelda. We had over a hundred submissions and it was actually really hard to choose!
I ended up going with TJ Bertino (@DreamKazoo on Twitter) for his awesome use of color and adorable Young Link. I hope you guys are as excited as I am to see his work...

Yo! There weren't a ton of outtakes for this video, so I just decided to do a behind-the-scenes "what lines got cut and why" thingamadoo for you guys. I discuss a few of the lines and alternate reads that I wrote into the script that didn't make it to the scr...

Yo!
I'm drawing the final pieces of artwork for this Danny Phantom video I've been working on since forever and a half ago. The last scene I need to finish is a quick mock-fight between Danny Phantom (VA: SungWon "ProZD: Cho) and Rebreather (VA: Butch Hartman) that pokes fun at the over-the-top nature of PUN-SLINGING SUPERHERO FIGHTS. (During the last bit where he laughs a f...

I finally got the go-ahead from Butch for the video! He'll be a guest voice in the role of an original Danny Phantom ghost bad guy! He was kind enough to design this cool underwater diving suit ghost for the video. Still need a name for the guy though. Any ideas?
Pretty cool that we get to name our own semi-canonical Danny Phantom bad guy!
