Baby Dracula & Sirthulhu

Baby Dracula & Sirthulhu are characters drawn in a style similar to that seen on Nickelodeon or Cartoon Network shows. That was the target audience for the concept, as well. Sirthulhu is the most famous monster in Scarylvania and has been retired for more than a decade. He has been expected to pick his successor for some time. Through a goofy mishap at a cousin's wedding, Sirthulhu ends up adopting Dracula, but he is only a child and is not scary at all. The public begins to laugh at Sirthulhu for picking such a silly heir to his legacy and he is no longer seen as scary. The show would follow the hi-jinx of these two characters as Sirthulhu trains Baby Dracula to become the next scariest Monster in all of Scarylvania!

Clover & Garlic

Clover & Garlic are characters I created to challenge my drawing abilities at the time. They were supposed to resemble a more comic-book-style aesthetic, and it might have been too soon in my career to try something like this. If you want a better look at my drawing abilities, I have sketched Clover a few times and have posted them to my Instagram. I believe those are much better representations of my drawing abilities and showcases how much I've grown. Their concept revolved around an open-world game where the player fought vampire werewolves alongside their pangolin companion, Garlic.

Zoe Farwick & Epoch

Zoe Farwick & Epoch are designs inspired by the art of Butch Hartman. The designs were intended to be for an animated show with a target demographic from 12-16. Zoe is a high school sophomore that became possessed by a Shade, evil spirits that torment humanity. But rather than take control of her, Zoe's spirit overpowered the Shade's and it became a part of her. Now, she has the power of Darkfire (a family-friendly name for hellfire that appears purple, blue, or turquoise) and can fly in a form with wings. Epoch is the incredibly strong spirit of an infirmed billionaire that wants to turn back time to when he was healthy and young. The two clash in a battle for the fate of the future!
