the cat who tipped the box

this episode I got to board a ton of fun sequences. the storybook-style Huntress origin story was my favorite part, with incredible designs of the Huntsman and his wife by Tom Herpich, and amazing background design by Laisay Bond.

I think this sequence came out really good in the final. I loved drawing all these characters, especially young Huntress (design by Tom Herpich). it's difficult to board something tragic, you want the pacing to really sell it, knowing that the pacing depends on getting the whole episode to fit within the runtime! our timer Nick Lomauro did an amazing job on this section though, I think it's paced perfectly.

I got to design a really cute alt outfit for Marshall Lee for this section. The loafers without socks really speak to me. I didn't get to do a lot of Gary/Marshall action this season so I really enjoyed drawing them when I got the chance... ball head boys...

Hungover Fionna was definitely my second favorite part to board. I included a sequence that didn't make it into the final board of Fionna grabbing a bunch of random crap from her fridge (raw eggs, old coffee, hot sauce...?) and blending it all together into some horrible hangover cure.




lots of opportunities this episode to draw simon doing stuff like this^



i got to design adult finn!! he's a couple years older here than he was in obsidian. I wanted him to bulk up and lean more into being a wild man. my instructions were that he is always showing off his jake tattoo (presumably so they can always hang out), so i opted for a big torn open collared shirt.. think it got changed to some sort of open tunic













went overboard coming up with different costume ideas for TV on account of, he's my favorite pup..... it doesn't fit the scene but my favorite is still the anti-hawk collar with safety cone hat. I also totally didn't know they were going to drop tamagotchi uni but I'm glad he's on the bandwagon






the incredible mudfish design by Jesse Balmer! I got a whole sheet of different mudfish designs to choose from. thank you a million Jesse for making this sequence so fun to draw




the kind of gruesome fish killing sequence! adam said make it more gruesome and that's not a problem for me so... I'm glad finn thanks it for its sacrifice at least.....
