I would like to respond on this post now.

I apologize to Becky and Frank for unintentionally "scamming" them. I was just very misguided and did not know how huge the project was (and still is).

I am now using more professional hiring practices and I promise not to do this kind of stuff ever again.
Haha just got a scam job interview. Real cool people are preying on out of work animation professionals 👍

Well, I'm glad to announce that the official Seven Minds Entertainment website is now live! (I know it has already been published for quite some time but still)

7mindsentertainment.my.canva.site/home (here's the link to the final site BTW. Just either click or press it and no one can blame you :)

You know, I'm an autistic person myself, so this design actually tickles a certain part of my brain hahahahahahahaha ;).

Is it just me or do I really wanna start stimming to this because of how beautiful it looks? Eh, probably just me.
Production art I did in late-2024 of SQUIM on the Smiling Friends episode "Squim Returns"! I just adore this character and I had so much fun drawing him! Once again, huge thanks to Zach Hadel, Michael Cusack, and Aron Fromm for having me design this critter! 🤪
He holds a special place in my heart!

I am GENUINELY concerned about the progress of Questlings at the moment. A final script is ready, but I don't have any financing to kick off even the final storyboards and model pack at the moment.

Got any ideas?
