The Nutcracker: Merry Christmas from JGT!!

Ello, everyone! Genie here to wish you all a Merry Christmas and Happy Holidays!

This year, Jocey and I decided to use "The Nutcracker" as our theme for the annual JGT Christmas pic. We had a ton of fun learning about (and reading) the actual story and ultimately casting the characters.

So, from us to you, here is JGT in The Nutcracker!

The cast is:

Jocelyn as Drosselmeier
Taylor as Maria
Rudy Jr. as Fred
Harrison Morrison as the Nutcracker
Jag as the Mouse King
Genie as the Sugar Plum Fairy

Thanks again, Jocey, for helping me plan out the pic, and thank you all for all that you are :) Hope you have a wonderful holiday season, filled with magical moments and sweet memories.

Until then,

Genie and JGT

I'm not gone...

Ello, everyone! Genie here...

Well, the holiday season is coming and going, and I have not been able to finish the next page yet. That is mainly because of my work and my grad school applications. Fun stuff...

In actuality, I am truly loving my job and the grad school application process, not because of the stress, but because of the realizations that I have been making.

As I write my personal statements about my creative processes, I always mention JGT. Because, well, JGT trained me a lot when it comes to the craft of storytelling. I've grown a lot through JGT.

And though I have had to take longish breaks from it due to time constraints, I am grateful that it exists and that it is still on this wonderful website, waiting for me. And I am extra grateful for all of you who wait for me, too.

So, thank you so much for that.

The story will continue, most likely in January. There will be special holiday posts coming up soon courtesy of Jocey and me. And there will also be a special surprise post regarding Jocey later on, too!

I am very excited to share more of JGT's story with you guys. So, so excited.

Until then, please hang in there, for that is what I will be doing, too.

"In My Dreams" - Happy Birthday, Jag!

Ello...again! Genie here with another birthday animatic!

This time, on November 1, we celebrate everyone's favorite Squirrel Dude, Jag. Similar to Lila's, his animatic focuses more on Jag's 'origins', or rather, the struggle to remember his origins.

Because of his brainwashing, he is starting to really struggle with remembering his past. So, I thought the song "In My Dreams" from Anastasia: The New Musical fit that perfectly...

(Fun fact: The girl who sang this song also sang the song featured in Lila's video)

I hope you guys enjoy the song, the video, and a sneak peek of Jag's arc!

Until then, sweet dreams...

May the JGT Be With You...Happy Halloween!

Ello, everyone! Genie here with the annual Halloween JGT pic!

Really quick though, I wanted to say thank you guys for your patience regarding the comic pages. I am currently applying to grad schools so I am writing way more than drawing at the moment. But the story shall continue...just at a slower pace.

But, I mean, I can't miss the JGT holiday drawings...and this year's theme is pretty epic.

Jocey and I decided to make JGT dress up as characters from the Star Wars franchise!

Tada! We had a ton of fun casting the characters and exploring the various worlds of this franchise. The cast includes:
Jocey as Ahsoka
Rudy as Han Solo
Flitwick as Chewbacca
Taylor as Padme
Jag as Finn
Genie as Leia/General Organa
Lila as K-2SO
Harry as Chirrut
Sir Aldric as (older) Luke Skywalker
Master as Palpatine
and Ace as Kylo Ren

We hope you enjoy the picture, and more importantly, we hope that you all have a wonderful and safe Halloween!

Until then,

Genie and JGT

Happy Birthday, Lila!!!

Ello, everyone! Genie here with a special gift for our favorite bunny villain, Lila!

I might as well keep up the theme, so here is another birthday animatic!

This one features the song "Epilogue" from Carrie: The Musical. Because, you know, Halloween is coming up, Lila has built-up feels...I thought it fit.

And also, I wanted to have some fun and give you guys a sneak peek at her backstory...dun dun dun!

Anywho, hope you guys enjoy this dramatic take on the JGT animatics, and again, happy birthday, Lila!

Until then,

Genie

Eep! New Character!

Ello! Genie here, and so is Jag! .....Well, kind of XD

As you can probably tell, I am excited to introduce the JGT version of the Scarecrow. I've had to look back at my concept art (which I did 3 years ago), so that was fun and cringeworthy and fun. Maybe I'll make a few before/after posts regarding that...we'll see.

Nevertheless, I'm so pumped for this bundle of scenes, and I hope you are, too!

Until then,

Genie
