More Jess! Her motorcycle is a pretty big facet of her in the comics, so I wanted to push how it could be incorporated into her character and design more. I got really inspired by moto-cross stunts and loved the idea that her bike could get infused into her fighting style with similar moves. I also started looking for ways she could have a full helmet that broke apart into a mask. Loved making these! #acrossthespiderverse #jessicadrew #jessicadrewspiderverse #spiderverseart #characterdesign #animation #spiderverse

Alright y’all, I’m rising back to life! Kicking us off, some Jessica Drew! I got brought into Across the Spider-verse in its earliest days as one of the first, if not the first, full-time character designer on the team. Jess was one of my earliest assignments, and she went through a lot of designs. Per the comics, the character is white, but after some initial passes, we started playing with race. Finally, I arrived at this version of her inspired by some incredible black women, wanting to really play up an athletic build and the impact of her hair. Also, since her motorcycle is a huge part of her, we worked to skew her outfit toward moto details in the ribbing, padding, and style of jacket. BUT MORE ON THAT LATER! 🙂 Hope y’all are enjoying the film! #acrossthespiderverse #spiderverseconceptart #spiderversecharacterdesign #animation #jessicadrew #spiderwoman #spiderverse

HEY GUYS! I just left Sony and am on the job market again. I’m looking for work that’ll be starting up in the new year (Iiiii need a little vacation right now, haha). If you have something you think I’d be right for, hit me up in DMs or email me via the address in my portfolio (link in profile). Also feel free to pass my info along. Thanks a bunch! . #animation #characterdesign #digitalart #conceptart #visualdevelopment #uhbutdontsmokekids 🙂
Some white Jess! Lol. The comic character was white, so in my earliest passes of her before we knew we wanted to take the character in our own direction, I tried to punch up the preexisting version. I really wanted attitude and strength and, as always, good hair. Haha. #acrossthespiderverse #spiderversejessicadrew #jessicadrew #spiderverse #characterdesign #animation

FYI, I’ve been posting a bunch of industry Q&As to my IG stories today if you want that info. I thought I’d toss up this notice on my main feed, ICYMI. Thanks, guys! . . EDIT: Now up in my IG Highlights under “Q&A 2”. #animation #animationadvice #characterdesign
Worked on this guy an age ago at its start, and it’s incredible to see that it’s nearly out! The artists on this show were incredible. Hope y’all are ready to dive back into the #spiderverse !
Reposting from @sonyanimation ! I’ll be doing a Sony Animation Q&A for @lightboxexpo with someone other amazing vis dev artists, including my buddy Joe here (he’s incredible, seriously ask him ALL the character questions – I do, lol). You can pop over to Sony’s IG account and submit questions via their IG stories. Get them in today, and we’ll answer them Sept 11th at #LBX2020 online! Looking forward to your character Q’s! #sonyanimation #sonypicturesanimation #characterdesign #animation
Our film “Steps” has been announced! It’s a flip on a Cinderella story, focused on the step-sisters and their journeys to find their own dreams. “Our step-sisters are a pair of young Asian immigrants to a fairytale world, and their journey navigating the pressures of their kingdom to ultimately arrive at their true dream is a story that resonates deep inside my heart,” said Tzue. “Especially in light of the terrible acts of erasure against the Asian community, I am grateful to be working with this incredible team on a project where I feel so seen. We can’t wait to bring Steps to the world!” We’re working away on it, and hope you’ll love what we make!
I’m gonna be answering BURNING, PROBING, SEARING questions for @sunmininn, along with @tonikopantoja and Paul Lasaine in her video at @lightboxexpo . I mean, it’s also sort of just us talking, but she asks seriously great questions you don’t often hear posed to industry professionals. It’ll be available on Saturday (Sept 12th) at 2 PM at #lbx2020 . PS: I love her. PPS: find out about her farting in front of Paul, a person I also love. Haha . #animation #characterdesign #lightboxexpo
