Half Dead Online
(Team Project)
L - R: Nathan, Hunter, Elijah, Skylar
L - R: Nathan, Hunter, Elijah, Skylar
Half Dead Online is about four high-school students who get enrolled in defending their school during a zombie apocalypse caused by the VR zombie game they play together. All schools operate a lockdown lockdown for days, as many students' family's and friends outside of the school may be infected. The government researches students who play HDO professionally and provide them the same signature weapons they use in the game. It's up to Nathan, Hunter, Elijah and Skylar to go out and get supplies and bring them back to the school to help their peers. Nathan uses a gun-blade, Hunter uses a gauntlet, Elijah is a sniper, and Skylar uses a shotgun.
Half Dead Online [HDO] was an original story I wrote for a Senior project in my high-school trade-school program back in 2017. Each of my classmates were responsible for presenting an idea of their own original series, and vote on which one they want to work on to submit for the final project together, and HDO won! Each of my classmates had their own responsibilities and I acted as the director making sure they're doing their jobs, and I illustrated most of the character art. We ended up with a kick-ass 3 minute trailer!
[Working Concept] - [Real Name] was an average girl at school. She was very shy and quiet who wears baggy sweaters and glasses and get picked on a lot. Little that everyone know that the music she listens to is some really hardcore stuff; metal and that nasty hip hop about sex and drugs. She writes music about her feelings about the asshole kids in school and when her parents aren't home blasts it and screams to get her frustration out! She felt like a nobody, and wanted to become a somebody and to share her talents, so she flipped her looks and started posting videos doing covers of songs, dressed in an Panda Onesie with her skin revealed, white contacts. metal makeup on her face and a pink wig. She got thousands of hits, made money from her videos, started going on tours and everyone knew about Punky Panda, but didn't know her as the quiet shy school girl that she really is, because no one would have guessed!
The idea for Punky Panda began as a Halloween costume in 2019... I had a panda onesie, I added some punky make-up, and a red plaid skirt on top and some sneakers, and went to work, of course. not exactly like this with her body exposed! I use her as a celebrity icon to send messages, such as wearing your mask during the covid outbreak. I even made her a cameo/ pop culture character in one of my other stories!
Punky Panda
The Banished Witch
Ebony is part of the Twisted Witch Coven where together they cause chaos all over the land. She gets banned from the group for questioning an attack, and literally gets kicked out of the sky in her witch-cult uniform, along with her magic being stripped away. A blacksmith named Quinn and his dog Scorch encounters Ebony in the forest, and spares her life when he discovers that she is harmless. They encounter again on a rainy night, she's homeless, cold, and alone, so he gives her a room to stay for the night. Quinn is on the verge of losing his family legacy business. Ebony with her creativity and her re-learned magic learns to craft beautiful dresses with a unique style that clients start to love and believe that she is the blacksmith's new business partner, therefore, he continues to keep her as the shop's tailor in sake of his business. He believes she's making a new beginning for herself, but in reality, she's manipulating and pretending to love this man and planning to destroy the shop so she can get back into her coven by impressing them with how long she held this lie for. She does eventually develop real feelings towards the blacksmith and enjoys her life tailoring dresses for women and children, and realize her witch friends are not worth it anymore.
I made this story into a trailer for my Professional Thesis class at KCAD. I believe it has potential to become an animated series and attract a teen-young adult audiences with themes of belonging to a group and unrecognizable passions. Just replace the W in Witches with a B and learn that some people aren't worth your time and there are other good people and hobbies out there that make you feel happier!
Us Vs. The World

From L - R: Josh, David, Kris, Jess, Russel
David Jose Scott was just an ordinary video-gamer, energy drink sipping young adult attending college to study Network Security to fulfill the American dream his parents want for him. But one night, his life changed when he met a demon who fell out of the sky who made a strange connection with him where he has the ability to see visions when she is in danger and feel her newly encountered emotions. The traditional Christian beliefs of crosses, bibles and holy water that he learned had no effect on her and she has no idea what she is or her motive or how the world works. So David uses his illegal hacking skills to make this demon a person, give her a name, Kristina Adams, and identify her as his cousin so she can stay in the same dormitory as him, that way he can be as close with her as possible to protect her and other people. His friends Josh, Russel and Jess are very attracted to how beautiful and great the mysterious Kris is, but don't know that she's a demon. Kris starts by giving off a creepy vibe of a socially anxious person, but eventually adapts to Earth with the help of David and his friends. She finds her own style and interests, controls her abilities, learns about friendship, immorality, crime, love, and grief, but also teams up with David to look out for signs of threats in the city that they can do something about it together.
This story is so much fun to write because Kris is a literal out of this world individual who experiences a lot of Earthly things for the first time. I implement scenarios from my personal life into this story, along with inside jokes, cameos, stupid adventures and stunts, and very emotional lessons and destinies for these characters who are going through their own "demons". It is a very mature story that does involve the lives of college students, sex, drugs, violence, identity, family and other intense topics.
Tales of Xavaria
Xavaria is a human kingdom that is all about human strength and spirit and they wield the best weapons and defenses in the land. Kalath is a Feral Elf, an almost instinct race of elves. There was a conflict in Xavaria where it was believed a Feral Elf murdered their Queen Demi. Lord Dreus spared Kalath's life because he was only a child, and was raised in an orphanage in Xavaria. When it was discovered by the young princess, Elise, that a child was being abused in the orphanage, he was given a home and living rights in Xavaria to take care of himself, but he still faces discrimination from the humans. Years later when Kalath is an adult, he becomes involved in the royal family by encountering Elise again, who wishes to be a more active and helpful leader and who is engaged to be married to another human from another kingdom. Kalath becomes a member of the Night Watch, the Kingdom's night-time security team, investigating a secret cult that infiltrating Xavaria for an unknown reason. Elise gains inspiration from Kalath, and wants to physically protect her people from danger instead of leading troops and sitting on a throne, so she decides to learn protective magic, conjuring healing spells and shields. Practicing magic is forbidden in Xavaria, but Elise is witty, so Kalath secretly accompanies her during her practice so she can be safe and slowly start to feel love for each other.
These are one of those stories that have intense battle scenes and plots and important messages about discrimination and power, but also one of those stories with a bittersweet romance and appreciation of each other's diversity which others might find unnaceptable.
Amai Shinigami - The Reaper's Spawn
Amai was one of my earliest OC'S. I first created her for a project in WCC's Digital Character Animation course. My idea for her is that she is the child of the Grim Reaper, and she was put on Earth to live life as a normal person while incorporating her culture from Hell. She grocery shops, goes to concerts, chills at the park, burns her plants, takes the bus, and watches sitcoms at home. She has the power to summon her scythe named Poku-Poku who can talk to her, but they are not allowed to kill anyone. This character is an example of another comedic, children's cartoon genre of my story collections, joining Amai on her fun wacky adventures and adulthood responsibilities. You can think her as the very cute spooky Mr. Bean type character who we follow through their day to day life with lots of clumsy and wacky moments.
Drako - The Troubled Vampire
Drako is my original character I created for my Digital Character Drawing course at KCAD. He is a rebellious vampire teen who is stripped away from his vampire abilities so he won't cause any more trouble until he graduates high-school. He has a record of graffiti, playing loud music, destruction of property, pranks, and tress-passing. Vampires are known to be one of the top most powerful monsters in this universe with super strength, speed and transformation abilities. He's very unhappy and salty about this restriction and gets a lot of crap from his classmates for being the only monster in school without powers. However, he does have a loving family and a baby sister who wants him to improve, he talks to a therapist every week at school, and he eventually meets a girl who he pities her life.
This character is an example of a comedic, children's cartoon genre of my story collections which sends a message about rebellious teenagers and their behaviors, along with stripping away powers and privileges and how that shapes our feelings about certain things, and how consequences play a part in peoples' lives.
