'Urbance' pilot promises to take black animation to new heights



"In the big city, gender war rises. Sex is prohibited because of a genetic deadly virus. Ruled by hate and anger, boys and girls grow up apart from each other, forming rivals gangs. Among these lost teenagers, Kenzell and lesya will fight adversity and defy all the rules in order to live their love and restore peace."
So reads the synopsis for the uber-lit "Urbance" trailer, which promises to take black animation to new heights.
While there's no release date set for the film from Canadian director Joel Dos Reis Viegas, ofSteambot Studios, there's no doubt this one will be a hit when it comes out.

The Hellions: About Rick Leven


Rick Leven, who actually is expanded on later in the saga, is introduced in "SuperNova" as a journalist who befriended several key government operatives in the path of his reporting. He and Anakira Simons are obviously an item and the relationship is alluded to early on in the script. Leven's true intentions are cloudy in the early parts, but clear up over time.

The Hellions: About the Mysterious 'Charles'


The Hellions 'SuperNova' story line introduces 'Charles,' a shadowy government figure, early on in the process, trying to woo Hilga Swartz (notice his hands cupping hers) to give over sensitive information relating to Epiffany Minion.
His advances are rebuffed and Hilga, who gives evidence that the two knew each other previously and maybe had a relationship, stands her ground with him and tries to turn the tables. The introduction of Charles adds to the mystique of what Minion is evidently hiding. Will we find out?

Concept Art for Hellions Finale


This is concept art for my "Hellions" sci fi soap opera. I've been toying with this one for a while. This is a scene where the Himeratti turn their backs on Hilga Swartz, guranteeing her defeat at the hands of the Hellions. This scene would be way back in the saga, probably around episode 8 or 9.

Inked Sketch of 'Defiers' page


This is one of the few pages that I haven't used, but will one day. It was drawn to be about page 4 or 5 in the "Back From the Brink," episode of the Defiers. When I ink it i may use it.

Intro Banner


Just playing around with a new banner before the site launch. I decided that I wasn't going to use it, but i will if I go ahead with plans for an intro page. The colors of the page will be these as shown, a coffee brown with a few filters.

Blafi: Hellions Summary


This is the hover art you see when you mouseover on the homepage. I think it sums up the plot of the episode pretty well, although you'd always want more to say. I think it works though.


The lead character in the Hellions saga is Epiffany Minion, a computer scientist from South Africa. Minion's intentions are never divulged in the epic, although the motives of her comtemporaries are on full display. The opera is meant to be shown backward, but due to the nature of the Internet may never be.
In any event, the futuristic tale features great art,
