Got some time on your hands? Check out this little animated short by artist Luke Beatrice. Luke is a frequent comic book collaborator of mine. He’s done some Gamer Girl & Vixen shorts and he’s the lead artist on my as-of-yet-unrevealed comic Cover Bard! I promise to have more Cover Bard news before too long. The first issue is complete, fully drawn and colored by Luke, with lettering done as well. But we’ll get to that later.

For now, Luke has posted his animated short — The Little Piratemaid — on YouTube for the whole world to enjoy. And I’m bringing that joy to you for Pride Month! You may have to click through to watch on YouTube.

Solid work all around! Love the voice acting. The story is short and sweet. The character designs are great. And the animation is stellar for a dude doing it all on his own. Believe me, if I had a ton of money, I’d be hiring Luke to make Gamer Girl & Vixen animated shorts! All my money would go to that!

Anyway, I hope you enjoyed the short! Luke has an online shop and does art commissions, so I assume it’s cool to reach out to him.
