(WIZARDS SPOILERS) My storyboards from Wizards Ep 10, Douxie & Merlin Farewell scene. This is by far my favorite scene I have EVER boarded of all time. This scene is heavily crafted in terms of visual language and cinematic symbolism, and I had SO much fun planning and executing this scene. I will post a scene breakdown analysis of this sequence soon (hopefully within the next 2 weeks) so y’all can see my thought process and the symbology behind the cinematography (hints: look at the character blocking, directional movement, compositions of the frame, lighting, and see if you can find some themes!) Fun fact, I was crying boarding this scene haha; I listened to “Moving On” from Lost as I boarded and I’m sure that didn’t help.

Edited by the exceptionally talented Joel Fisher (I had to do minor edits on this version, so if there is something clunky that is 100% my fault).

You can find tap through versions of these storyboards and more on my website. Link in my bio!

Some more explorations from my time working on Wizards! When we got the script for episode 9, I was really wanted to explore/pitch the idea of Douxie being a kid (maybe 12?) when Merlin picked him up. So I did these beat moments of their meeting to explore that concept and his remembrance of that memory. I love drawing my baby boy as extra baby booyyyy, need to do some fan art of him soon. Enjoy <3

Early explorations of Douxie & Merlin’s dynamic from Wizards! In the first few sketches, I was playing with the idea that as Douxie’s confidence against his mentor increased, he would transition from always being to the side of him to being able to confront him head first. We ended up starting him out a lot stronger as a character, which makes sense given the amount of time he has had to himself. Just some thoughts on how their body language would evolve with their arcs. Also some young Douxie :D

Casual catchup over tea. I just felt like drawing a brotherly/sisterly moment between these two, would have loved to see more of their dynamic if we had time in the show!

Part 1 of my released production artwork from Wizards.  Being the art director on this project taught me so much and it’s an experience I will be forever grateful to have.  This project was a monster and every single person worked tirelessly to make it what it is.
