A fun #Tchalla drawing. I’m really disappointed in Disney for their alignment with generative Ai, I draw better than Ai looks, so I’ll keep drawing whether I imagine in a cool way, oh and this was done in @procreate . #Marvel #BlackPanther #Animation #Comics

Here’s some warm up sketches from a few weeks ago that I add to periodically. I like to use #spiderman as the source for his crazy/cool posing. I last minute changed the Linework to blue, I had it black and grey, but this felt better. Lol. #animation #marvel #comic #superhero

Gave bro his flowers cause he’s AMAZING! 👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾

Gonna be honest here, the amount of desire that I have to draw this hero is pretty sickening. Lol, homeboy is RAD AS HELL! 😂👏🏾🍻

Another day of doing things with #GhostRider that NO ONE, least of all Ghost Rider himself, asked me to do, it’s been fun getting the creative blood flowing, and of course taken further than needed. lol.

Let’s just call this one “A #superman sketch with some filters” NO, I haven’t seen the new movie yet, but soon, Superman is my all time favorite #Superhero! This was a sketch exercise, but I kept going, lol, so HERE YOU GO! #animation #comicbook #fyp #dc #procreate

California, your beautiful people showed me the HEART at the core of the Diverse people and landscapes. You taught me that to love a land is a deep and intentional commitment, and that ALL people of all walks in those spaces, are worthy of that love. Goodbye, and thank you. ❤️

“A girl has no name”. My animated design of my favorite character in #GameOfThrones which is #AryaStark. I am playing it in the BG while I work and I was thinking that if I designed an animated version, her faces that she wears would be in her Cloak… 🤷🏾‍♂️😂🍻 #Animation #art

[Chris Copeland @chriscopelandrt]

To be this driven and skilled is just so damn inspiring. SHEEEESH brother! 🔥🔥🔥
