SKULL GIRLS!!!!!

I have recently been hired as an animator for the game Skull girls. It´s going to be such an experience animating 2d characters for this extremly aestetic 2d fighter. The visuals are stunning and the game play looks very fun. I hope to learn a lot from it. One thing I learnt while doing tests to get the contract was that you must use all your animation knowledge to make each movement very clear to what´s happening and snap from one key frame back to the other and the same to most extreme positions while adding subtle anticipations within very short spaces of time. This is one frame after the initial attack from one of my tests I sent in.

Here´s a video of the game

More bus train, cafe and other observation drawings.

Tight rope walkers in bournemouth gardens.

A good friend of mine on the left drawn at comic con in London.



These two picture are of empoyees at King rollo, not the page of little heads though, they are the usuals on the bus.
Here´s a quick self portrait of the time along with some more bus people
People waiting at Poppy cafe.
People on the train, obviously bored and i actually like how the guy in the top right at neros cafe turned out.

Yes an odd little dragon snail thingy hehe

These are two good friends of mine ho I grew up with in Spain at school as we play cards and the guy on the right is at a bar with his kid and family.

Tae Kwon do and stuff

So I´ve been going to Tae kwon do lessons and was very kindly invited to come along to a tournament and demonstration thingy that was going on, so I said yes!!!! :D Got my sktechbook and headed on over with them in the car. Was great, there were some impressive fights, I need to bbe quicker at capturing fighting movements on paper though. SOme kick was doing jumping outer crescent kicks while this other black belt was ducking under them, crazy stuff and that was in the sparring, not the demonstration stuff 0_0

LoL is a barrel of laughs

My brother got me into a little game called LoL, It´s a strategy game from an offshoot of people who worked on WoW I think. It stands for League of Legends. These two are a couple of the very any characters you can choose from, my main is Anivia, the crio Pheonix you see above, she kicks ass with her being reborn technique and ice barrage attacks! The other is Riven, a female warroir who broke her sword as a statement, her ultimate attack rebuilds her massive sword to squish enemies.

POPPY CAT

http://www.poppycat.com/

Hi all, this is where I had been working while in Devonshire!! It was a great small house studio with great people in. Lots of talent and laughs around. Here´s a link to the official website, it should show you what sort of stuff I had been working on. I´ll get round to uploading some of my Poppy cat work in the future. :)

From Poppy Cat to Poppy Cafe

At the weekend I frequented this lovely cafe called Poppy Cafe. The owners got to know me...ish, as the artist hehe. It was a good way to talk to people as they´d start conversations after seeing me drawing them. I had a good time and got to sharpen my skills and home my style.

I stopped going after a while as we had over time at work and I got tired out with that and other personal projects at home. That plus being a lazy bas....person.




I decided to draw the tables since they were interesting, like 1950s diners. And yes before you ask, I did see a dinosaur, he was enjoying his cup of tea and fry up :).This man was a talkative guy and bought me some tea which was very nice of him. While sketching him he asked if I could add to his hair on top as he could do with the extra. Do you think I went too far? :P
Randoms drinking, putting on jackets and crouching over a walking cane.

On the bus

When I got offered a job in Devon working on the TV series poppy cat I had to wake up early and grab a bus to Hontion each morning. Here are some pages from my handly little sketchbook of some of the people I would travel with.

Most people were normal, but sometime i´d get strange people to travel with. Once a hippy couple brought their travle sick dogs on that vomited eveywhere. It smelt lovely that day on the bus, gagging for air for 25 minutes hehe. never had I been so happy to get to work.

This guy liked red, his phone was red, his colour matching tracksuite was all red and his bag was red. Is it a statement or a try at fashion?
The guy on the left had an awesome comb over, I just had to draw it, heehee, am I evil? 0_0


This guy looked a little like my dad when he had a moustache. Dad denies tthis claim.I sadly didn´t actually see batman on my many bus journies :(
