It's never too late to fix your old drawings! Re-did this Beast Boy Gorilla pose from #TeenTitansGo Season 1 that I was never happy with as part of an animation design lecture about "pushing" your drawings to give them a greater sense of action. Now I can stop obsessing over that shit 😜

The most important human story in the entertainment industry right now is the severe downturn in film and TV production in LA and how it's affecting middle-class crew workers. I spoke to dozens of them for this story about the depressed Hollywood economy. www.wsj.com/business/med...

30+ years of career logos! (and that's not even ALL of them) ... and coming up on 2 YEARS WITHOUT WORK. New signal boost: I'm available for full-time character design positions @ TAG studios, & also for freelance visual development 👍 instagram.com/chrisbattleart imdb.com/name/nm0061497

Join me, @mexopolis.bsky.social, & @careeningle.bsky.social on the rooftop of the old Cartoon Network Studios this Thursday 9/25 @ 1:30 PM for a special Burbank International Film Festival panel on character design! Can't guarantee if Jorge will talk about death or mustaches, but chances are GOOD 👍

Happy #BatmanDay! Was lucky enough to score this #BtAS cel (from the legendary "Over the Edge" ep) as an Xmas giveaway for WB Animation employees 🦇 (And don't worry -- those wrinkles are shrink wrap around the matted cel)

This month I'll be part of a panel on animation character design as part of the Burbank International Film Festival w/ @mexopolis.bsky.social & @careeningle.bsky.social -- on the rooftop lounge of the former Cartoon Network Studios! Get your tickets here: www.burbankfilmfest.org/post/from-sk...

Really miss working at the cartoon factory w/all my pals.

Character development for Warner Bros. Animation's new Krypto Saves the Day! shorts from late 2024. Under the direction of Ryan Kramer, I had to blast out rough concepts to present to James Gunn himself to help get the shorts greenlit. You can watch the first short on YouTube: youtu.be/nPm9ezfa6Qo

In late 2024 I did some character development for Warner Bros. Animation’s new Krypto Saves the Day! shorts. I’ll get around to sharing my designs soon, but you read more about the shorts here (and be sure to check out the first short on YouTube!) www.awn.com/news/warner-...

Another #WydlePak design: Steve the Goat gets fancy (thanks to Lily’s grooming skills) #Nickelodeon

Spruced some of my old #PowerpuffGirls artwork from the "Moral Decay" ep (plus fixed a few old mistakes 😜), alongside a screenshot the final frame. #CartoonNetwork

Random TV screen image from #PowerpuffGirls. Always fun drawing stylized cartoon animals👍 #CartoonNetwork

They made a toy out of my #MojoJojo design 😃 (Sort of?). Check out @culturefly.com’s awesome mini vinyl figure based off of my art from the classic #PowerpuffGirls “Rowdy Rough Boys” ep!

There are only a few “bucket list” characters/properties I have not gotten to draw professionally. I would make time for the following: 1. STAR WARS 2. Batman (Did poses of Geneva Hodgson's design on TTG) 3. Peanuts (Closest I got was doing TTG as Peanuts) 4. Legend of Zelda What are yours?

To all professionals (and retirees) in the film, television, theatre, entertainment & arts world, join the challenge to post a photo of you in your job. Just a pic, no description. The goal is to flood social media with our profession. Copy the text and post a pic on YOUR page.

Some childhood #Superman & #Krypto (+ Superboy?) art for your moviegoing weekend.
