2D Animation
Game Grumps Animated - Mercer, Have Mercy
Based off the commentary of popular YouTubers, Arin & Danny from Game Grumps, this animated cartoon was made completely from the ground up. Starting with storyboards, animatics, character sketches, character turn, character rigs ready for Flash/Animate, and the backgrounds, my goal was to have this animation have as much TV Cartoon quality as possible.
The Art & Animation style for this short were inspired by many iconic animated TV shows, such as Kim Possible, Dexter's Laboratory, Ed Edd n Eddy, Rocko's Modern Life, and Disney's Ducktales (2017). To see character turns and environmental art from this animation, please visit my Art Gallery HERE
