I haven’t abandoned
I’m just on a small break of a couple days - just got off a month long project and I need a day or two. But I’ve found nice reference photos for those drawings I promised :D

Works Ahead
So now that the cartoon is done, I need to revise my animation pieces. Theres a method to the madness I promise. Since I am embarking on a Freelance gig, all cartoons are going to be IMMENSELY shorter - bite sized even.
Here are my next 3 Planned Animations:
1.) Walk Cycle for a Character Gifted to me by my CCA Professor.
2.) Jen Walters Walk cycle
3.) Revy from Black Lagoon Doing Gynmastic Gun Fu
I'm going to use my teachers character to remind myself how to do walk c...
What Outfit Should I Draw Jen In?
I am planning out my next cartoon. It is not Jen Walters related. So for the interim until my next Jen Cartoon I am presenting some options for Jen Walters still drawings - timed exclusives to all of you guys!
So the question is: if you could see my version of Jen Walters in any outfit what would you choose?
The Unstoppable She-Hulk (Fan Animation)
Welp, at long last it is here for your enjoyment! I present you, my loyal patrons, the first official showing of my animation The Unstoppable She-Hulk. There is always more I can do to polish - but the time has come that my goals have been met and I must move on.
I want to thank you guys - you folks on the $10, $25 tier have been mentioned and thanked in the end credits - but all of you guys have shown me immense support and enthusiasm. I can't begin to express my gratitude to you.
TUSH - WIP #21 (Shading, Lighting, Motion Blur, Bag)
So here's a taste of what you guys are supporting! I completed the shading this morning and polished up the coloring a smidge. I also imported Jennifer into After Effects - and placed in highlights, and motion blur!
I also briefly added the sandbag with my logo - for preventing theft without my name being present in some manner. I might shade it but we shall see.
We are very, VERY close folks. Thank you so much for following along this past month - and I feel like the next post ...
TUSH - WIP #20 (Shading 80% Complete)
So I'm almost done shading Jennifer! This part sucks, but I'm so close I can taste it. I'd finish to day but I'm legitimately drained. Ima get up early in the morning and finish this thing with fresh eyes. Once Jennifer is shaded, that is pretty much the end. The rest is easy street :D
I also had a funny ass idea for the end credit drawing. You'll see :)
More tomorrow!!
TUSH - WIP #19 (Coloring, 4K, Freckles, Eyeshine Done!)
I finished Jennifer's coloring all the way through today! It was a bit of a dang battle but for gods sake I've done it. I also adjusted Jennifer's colors a tad to make her values and colors a bit more varied and eye popping. I also have completed her freckles and added a glint in her eyes.
The final step ladies and germs - shading. It will be a monster task... but it is the last monster task for this cartoon and I guarantee you will be glad I decided to tough it out.
Tomorrow I ...
TUSH - WIP #18 (In-Betweens Done)
So - it was a slog but I just completed the in-betweens for the whole cartoon! There are inconsistencies but Jennifer is fully animated with her final linework! I'll do some polish work tomorrow. Next step is to color her, and then shade. Shading will be the big job. But for now, HUGE milestone passed!
2024-09-11 04:37:21 +0000 UTC View PostTUSH - WIP #17 (Breakdowns Done)
Hey all! So I completed the breakdown drawings today! I added some freckles to Jennifer’s face too - cheat code for cuteness. Next step is to draw the in betweens. After that - shadows. Plenty more work to do but I can see land on the horizon!
2024-09-09 00:19:13 +0000 UTC View PostTUSH - WIP #16 (Storytelling Keys Done!)
I drew out all of Jennifer's storytelling keys! I am making a more concerted efforts to draw out line weight and sensible musculature. I even colored a couple. We are well on our way!
2024-09-07 00:46:51 +0000 UTC View PostTUSH - WIP #15 (Rough Complete)
So I have at long last completed the rough animation for Jennifer! The next step, which I start in earnest tomorrow morning, shall be to draw Jennifer's final line work. I will take it a bit slow so as to allow proper line weight to be applied, and to ensure I do not lose Jennifer's musculature. That is absolutely vital to this cartoon. So, big milestone today! Logo design by Jon Hanson.
2024-09-06 01:03:39 +0000 UTC View PostTUSH - WIP #14
Still chugging! I am going to animate her phone strap on her left arm today and make some clearup adjustments. After that I am moving onto linework :D
2024-09-05 15:40:21 +0000 UTC View PostTUSH - WIP #13
So Jennifer’s lip sync is more or less complete. Most of her face expressions are drawn in too! Next steps are to draw Jennifer’s hands in a more tied down manner and get her gloves drawn - then I’ll move into the linework phase. Should be a day or two! Yes btw, I am going to thank you guys in the credits for the $5 tiers and up if you want it :D
2024-09-01 23:59:31 +0000 UTC View PostTUSH - WIP # 12 VOCALS/SFX
SaexyVO sent me voice recording lines for the cartoon! I implemented them, and am trying to play around with the audio tracks to give Jennifer an underlying low pitch base. I also plugged in some sound effects! I am trying to make all of Jennifer movements, including her footsteps, have serious weight to them.
Now I can start lip syncing!
TUSH - WIP #11
I'm taking a bit longer on my cartoon than I expected... However, this is due to an overt focus on musculature and trying to make Jennifer have believable volume. I'm using contours to both help me define her volume and correct proportion mistakes. It really helps the cartoon. I figured taking a bit longer will help the cartoon in the long run. I also played with the environment a little to help sell the illusion of 3D space. You can see it there :D
2024-08-30 05:06:31 +0000 UTC View PostTUSH - Update #10
I’ve animated Jennifer’s breasts and hair! The next steps are lip sync, hands, and cleanup of the muscles! We’re getting there folks :)
Question about the Logo
Does the UNSTOPPABLE part read easy to you?
(I'm thinking of adding a silhouette of cross-armed Jennifer at the end as well :D)
TUSH - WIP #9
I finished Jennifers animation! I also started a bit on her hair. I'm gunna get to some more tonight :D
2024-08-28 03:41:55 +0000 UTC View PostTUSH - WIP # 8
Work is coming along! This weekend I had to make Jennifer's waist smaller - this makes her lats and hips seems wider making her appear buffer yet more feminine. I also spend a good chunk of time this weekend trying to figure out Jennifer's costume. I think we are on a good track with these two :D
I'll update you guys soon! I am going to begin work on Jennifer's turn and fist pump tomorrow - after that I will take a look at her hands and then her hair.
Which Costume Design Best Suits Jennifer?
I gotta ask you guys - based on the sketches I made here which look best suits Jen to you?
My intent is for Jennifer to not wear shoes. As such, I felt some attention to what top she wears was appropriate. So, what say you?
WIP #7
Finished Jennifers intro! She notices you, shows off her guns, and invites you to check out her feat of strength! I am moving onto her big punch tomorrow - more to come!
2024-08-22 02:18:40 +0000 UTC View PostWIP 6 - The Unstoppable She-Hulk
WIP Logo reveal! This where the cartoon is going - I sorta reinstated the opening (having her patting the bag, grabbing her muscles, and smiling in the 4th Wall). Her wardrobe malfunction will play to comedic effect. This will sort of act as a teaser for more projects and be a callout to get more Patreon subs. Hope you like!
2024-08-19 21:02:53 +0000 UTC View PostWIP 5
Here is where we are at present! Because of the focus on musculature (and life) things are off to a slower start than I'd hoped. But I trudge on. My goal is to allow for gratuitousness, but have her musculature be so well rendered folks can see past it and admire it anyway :D
2024-08-17 20:50:51 +0000 UTC View PostWIP #4
First tie down of Jennifer Walters in her Unstoppable She-Hulk form.
2024-08-16 02:17:15 +0000 UTC View PostWIP #3
Shaved off the opening section so I could focus more on the ending! Its coming along great!
2024-08-15 03:04:21 +0000 UTC View PostWIP #2
So here is where we are at at present! Jen is going to be a bit spunky and girly here after a thunderous punch to the Smash Bros sandbag. I should have the rough done either today or tomorrow :S

WIP #1
First off - here is a singular screenshot from the new cartoon at present. Getting the ball rolling has been a tad difficult this week. Personal reasons kept me away from the computer, and when I started drawing I quickly discovered the aim of this cartoon was simply too gratuitous for my tastes. Relied WAY too much on the butt shot.
I like to challenge myself when I animate, and the original goal was just... boring. That said, I got things going in a good direction that bu...
