Check out what just arrived home 馃槏馃槏馃槏 My second article for the magazine Character Design Quarterly #36 "Digging for inspiration" is out!! This time around I unravel the step by step of my creative process using as an example the character design of "Mary" from my personal project "Anning's fossil depot".

It made me SO happy to see the article printed on such quality paper and I LOVED how the editorial team created this wonderful layout design for its pages. Thank you so so so much to the Character Design Quarterly for inviting me once again to publish with them, it's always a pleasure!

Christmas comes to Moominvalley (01/03)

Hi everybodyy! I hope you’re having a fantastic beginning of the year! I wanted to share with you some of the character designs I did for the Moomin’s Christmas special produced at Gigglebug Entertainment as part of the Nordic Christmas Tales. 

Thanks SO much to my amazing friend and director Jean-Michel Boesch for making this dream come true! Tove Jansson has been one of my biggest heroes since I was a kid and drawing the Moomin family for an official project has been absolutely mind-blowing to me! 

These sketches were the first style explorations of Moomin, trying to keep the essence of his original design while playing with shapes and colour textures. I’ll be posting more designs soon! :D

Atka


This is a turnaround for understanding better Atka's proportions and volumes while he moves. I will be working hard with Uqalik these months and show you some little sneak peeks ;)

---------------------------------------------------

Estas son las diferentes vistas de Atka para entender mejor sus vol煤menes y porporci贸n. Voy a estar trabajando a tope estos meses con Uqalik y os ir茅 ense帽ando algunos trocitos del proceso ;)

Uqalik's travel props

Viajar por la tundra supone una ardua tarea, incluso si te acompa帽a un grifo nival. Por suerte la previsora Uqalik ha organizado un equipaje que no se queda atr谩s:

1 - Gafas de nieve para d铆as muy soleados. Talladas en hueso por Akiaguk.
2 - Un vaso que encontr贸 por casa, en el cual deshacer la nieve cuando no localice arroyos cerca.
3 - El lobo aullador, t贸tem protector tallado en estatita por Amaguk. Se lo regal贸 a Uqalik en su 11 cumplea帽os. 
4 - Aunra llevaba este cuchillo en todas sus partidas de exploraci贸n, pero decidi贸 ced茅rselo a su hija para su primera ruta hasta las Monta帽as Arcanas.
5 - Cuando Atka alcanz贸 su tama帽o definitivo, Sakari y Pagnik dedicaron meses a elaborar esta preciosa silla de montar a medida, equipada con alforjas donde guardar todos los enseres necesarios y una manta de piel de oso pardo.
6 - Detalle de la piel, bordados y hebillas de la silla.
7 - Antigua cajita de madera de abeto donde guardar trozos de grasa solidificada para sazonar comida o encender l谩mparas.
8 - Peque帽a piel de reno curtida donde recoger y guardar bayas silvestres.
9 - Salm贸n fresco, la comida preferida de Uqalik en el mundo entero.
10 - L谩mpara port谩til.
11 - Esquema de la silla de Atka.


-------------------------------------------

Travelling through the tundra is indeed an arduous task, even if you're accompanied by a snowy griffin. Luckily the farsighted Uqalik has organized a luggage that doesn't get far behind:

1- Snow goggles for sunny days. Carved in bone by Akiaguk.
2 - A glass that she found at home, in which melting the snow when there are no creeks nearby.
3 - The howling wolf, protective totem carved in statin by Amaguk. He gave it to Uqalik on her 11th birthday.
4 - Aunra carried this knife to all her exploration parties but she decided to give it to her daughter for her first route to the Arcane Mountains.
5 - When Atka reached his definitive size, Sakari and Pagnik spent months developing this precious tailor-made saddle, equipped with saddlebags to store all the necessary equipment and a brown bear skin blanket.
6 - Detail of the leather, needlework and buckles of the saddle.
7 - Oldy box made of fir wood where to keep chunks of solidified fat to flavor the food or ignite lamps.
8 - Little tanned reindeer skin where to collect and store wild berries.
9 - Fresh salmon, Uqalik's favorite food in the whole world.
10 - Portable lamp.
11 - Atka's saddle scheme.



Realizar esta hoja ha sido toda una aventura, no s贸lo por intentar representar las texturas de los distintos materiales de la manera m谩s fiel posible, sino tambi茅n por la tarea de investigaci贸n de la cultura inuit (qu茅 enseres utilizan en su d铆a a d铆a, qu茅 materiales emplean para construirlos, la vegetaci贸n que les rodea...), ¡y todo lo que me queda a煤n por investigar! Aqu铆 os dejo el paso a paso:

------------------------------------------

To create this page has been an adventure, not only for trying to represent accurately the textures of the different materials, but also because of the researching task of the Inuit culture (which items do they use in their day to day, what materials do they utilize to build them, the vegetation that surrounds them...) And there are still tons of things that remains for me to investigate! Here I let you the step by step:

WestWorld Tribute

Mi peque帽o homenaje para la que, en mi opini贸n, ha sido la mejor serie del a帽o. No s贸lo por un gui贸n que seduce desde el minuto uno, ni por su deliciosa banda sonora o sus cuidados efectos, sino por su AMOR por el dise帽o de personajes. Cada uno de ellos, da igual si ten铆an un papel m谩s grande o m谩s peque帽o, me ha parecido tan cuidado y denso, tan prolijo en matices... Una vez m谩s, s贸lo puedo quitarme el sombrero ante HBO.

------------------------------------------------------------

My little tribute for which, in my opinion, has been the best show of the year. Not only for a script that seduces you from the very first minute, nor even for its delicious soundtrack or its careful effects, but for its LOVE for character design. Each one of them, no matter if they had a bigger or smaller role, has seemed to me so carefully constructed and solid, so variously tinted... Once again, HBO, I take my hat off to you.
