Brief comeback to blogging

Life has been crazily good this year, and that's the main reason I almost left this blog out. But now that my duties at Kandor Graphics have ended I decided to post back some more of my crap out there, just to keep track of my drawings.

More to come...

"Arte y Animación" Animation feedback!

Yay! Just on Friday I saw my animation videofeedback at "Arte y Animación" and it was absolutely fantastic! Really makes me wanna go back to the shot and make further tweaks, I hope I get the time soon! Also many congratulations to Marta Segurola for her second position and videocritique too!!

Many thanks to Christian Dan and Pedro Daniel for the prize and the critique. Pedro is a supervising animator at "The SPA Studios" (Sergio Pablos Animation) in Spain, and his experience in animation spans over 15 years and a solid ground in traditional animation.

I'm trying to get used to my new WACOM as well, hopefully will be able to post some sketches soon...in the meantime, here is the video feedback!(it's in spanish....I'm considering doing a little translation for it so that it can be more accessible, but will see...I've had people interested in watching it despite the language barrier which is great!).

Video Feedback for my animation:

Marta Segurola's Video Feedback:

New stuff!

Hey all!

So...firstly.. I've managed to win the Arteyanimacion contest, so great! Really happy for the experience and had a lot of fun doing the scarecrow shot!



Secondly, I'm currently working in Kandor Graphics as a senior animator....so awesome as well, and intimidating to be surrounded by some pretty amazing talent I have to keep up with. The feature film I'm working on also I have to say is looking pretty amazing... "Justin and the Knights of Valour"



Finally, I've uploaded a new demoreel...as usual, lots of tweaks needed, but I just need to keep my stuff updated and wanted to change the site with a more mature feel...as my animation is evolving towards that as well I think...Hope you like it!!

"Arte y Animación" Animation contest entry

My entry for the "Arte y Animación" animation contest.

Would love to improve the facial acting and fix some body pops and spacing issues too but today is the deadline :( I'll see what the reaction is out there and whether it will be worth polishing it more or not.

Thanks to iAnimate, Ben Rush, Pierre Perifel (pierreperifel.blogspot.com/) and Victor Vinyals for the character rig, and to the "Arte y Animación" blog for bringing this contest. It was fun to work on for the time I had and I wish everyone all the best.
