Style Challenges


For an artist who usually specializes in creepy demon characters and monsters, discovering how to successfully create cute graphics was extremely challenging. There were many iterations of Coco that were just plain creepy and off putting before I finally getting something that was cute. Also the whole vectoring process was something new to my work flow as well. For the most part I have treated photoshop as a traditional painting program in which I did not use tools like the pen tool and blending options with layers because my previous work did not require these types of elements. I would simply treat the document as a blank canvas, and any type of texture or effect would be created by painting.

Because of this, learning how to use the pen tool was definitely different for me but also a welcomed challenge because I got to learn a new process and increased my skill level at the same time. Like everything though, there is still room for improvement and I look forward to getting better at this skill for our future work.

Sometimes the suction cup get sticky. Small animation I made in Blender after doing my tutorial on picking up/dropping objects in animations. Crate model by jQueary (https://sketchfab.com/3d-models/game-ready-sci-fi-crate-d98deca6…).

Back in my art school days I used to ride the 710 COPSA line from Parque Del Plata to Montevideo almost everyday. This is the Marcopolo Viaggio G4 Mercedes Benz model from the late 80s, one of the older bus models that was running on the line.

One of the most critical update for Sunblaze demo. Now you are able to pet a cat! Finally!

Spaaaace~

These are background sprites I've created for a game I'm working on at school ^w^ Click on the post to see how the sprites connect. You won't regret it! (personally, I think it's pretty heheh)

Drawn in Piskel using my mouse. Whaddya think?

Let me introduce you to the new Mech line: Gendai Spec. Those are Mech that specializes in surprise attacks, covered operations, and stealth. They are equipped with melee weapons but one of Gendai's frames supports sniper rifles.

I did this on my 3DS ^^ #Kirby
