[ENG] Here’s another glimpse into my collaboration with @brikktv for “Guardians of Democracy.” This shot looks simple, but it took a lot of planning to figure out what moves and what stays still. Once I finished the cleanup, I was in Heaven haha. . [PT-BR] Compartilhando com vocês mais uma parte da minha colaboração com a @brikktv para "Guardians of Democracy". Esse shot parece simples, mas requereu muito planejamento sobre o que se move e o que não se move. Quando finalizei o clean up, veio aquela paz de espírito haha. . .

[ENG] In March, I had the chance to collaborate once again as a Clean Up Artist on a project by @brikktv , this time with a more ’90s anime vibe. It’s a very whimsical style that required a lot of attention to detail. It was also my first time delivering shadow layouts for my own shots, and I’m so grateful to Brikk for trusting my work. I’d like to invite you to check out the profiles of each artist who participated in the project. . [PT-BR] Em março pude colaborar mais uma vez como Artista de Clean Up em um projeto da @brikktv , desta vez com uma pegada mais anime dos anos 90. É um estilo bem caprichoso, que pediu bastante atenção aos detalhes. Também foi minha primeira vez fazendo layouts de sombra dos meus próprios shots e só tenho a agradecer à Brikk pela confiança no meu trabalho. Quero convidá-los a visitar o perfil de cada artista que participou do projeto. . .

[ENG below] E aqui um behind the scenes da animação. Uma das lições mais valiosas que o Gabriel ensinou no workshop foi o de ajustar o seu mindset e o seu desenho à cada etapa da animação. No Pose Test, por exemplo, que é uma etapa de exploração do movimento, o traço precisa ser mais solto para permitir que as ideias fluam. Esse pensamento ajuda a economizar tempo, energia, direcionamento, e abriu minha mente! . . And here's a behind-the-scenes look at the animation. One of the most valuable lessons Gabriel taught in the workshop was to adjust your mindset and your drawing to each stage of the animation. In the Pose Test, for example, which is a stage of movement exploration, the line needs to be looser to allow ideas to flow. This thinking helps save time, energy, direction, and completely opened my mind! . #2danimation #pantomime #mouse #cheese #cartoon tvpaint

[ENG below] Essa é a 2a versão de um exercício de pantomima do workshop "Designing Animation" ministrado pelo Gabriel Khouzam. No evento, o Gabriel contou mais sobre seu processo de criação e deu feedbacks. Fiquei inspirado a retomar o exercício e pude fazer cada etapa no seu tempo, desde o Pose Test até o Tie Down. Meu foco foi na construção de poses expressivas com silhuetas claras. Acabou sendo uma experiência desafiadora, mas muito divertida e inspiradora. Vai ficando mais claro pra mim que animar é o que quero fazer da vida! Design do personagem pelo @gabriel.khouzam . . This is the second version of a pantomime exercise from the "Designing Animation" workshop taught by Gabriel Khouzam. At the event, Gabriel talked more about his creative process and gave feedback. I was inspired to revisit the exercise and was able to take each step at my own pace, from the Pose Test to the Tie Down. My focus was on building expressive poses with clear silhouettes. It ended up being a challenging experience, but very fun and inspiring. It's becoming clearer to me that animation is what I want to do with my life!

I am delighted to share the process behind my collaboration with @brikktv on this beautiful musical animation for Overwatch (a game I am a huge fan of, haha). The amount of detail in the character caught my attention, so I dedicated myself to maintaining the consistency of the model during the action. This was also an opportunity to improve my skills as light and shadow animator.

[ENG below] . Compartilhar com vocês o processo de criação do Nino e o desenvolvimento do turnaround. Considero as escamas como um dos elementos principais do Nino, porque elas marcam bem a silhueta e trazem esse caráter divertido do personagem. Então fiz questão de desenvolver a noção de tridimensionalidade delas e do volume do corpo através dos shapes básicos na etapa de rough do turn. O resultado desses estudos vocês podem acompanhar nesse post e no anterior. . Sharing with you the process of creating Nino, the dinosaur, and developing his turnaround. I believe that his dinosaur scales are an essential part of Nino, because it calls so much attention to the silhouette and it brings a funnier and naive tone to the character. So I had to develop the tridimensiolatity of these elements as well as the volumes of the body through Nino's basic shapes on the rough step of the turnaround. The result of these studies you can see on this post and on the previous one. . #behindthescenes #character #stegosaurus #2danimation #turnaround #availableforwork

[ENG below] . Esse é o Nino, um estegossauro que surgiu num desses aquecimentos de desenho matinais. Gostei tanto do resultado que decidi fazer um turnaround dele. Foi a primeira vez que animei um turn de personagem corpo inteiro posado, então me dediquei a entender os volumes e qual seria o posicionamento dos membros em cada uma das vistas. Foi divertido e desafiador ao mesmo tempo haha. . Meet Nino, a stegosaurus that I created during my morning warmup drawings. I liked him so much that I decided to animate a turnaround of him. That was my first time animating a full body turnaround with the character in a pose, so I focused on understanding his volumes and where the limbs would be in each view . It was fun and challenging at the same time haha. . #character #stegosaurus #2danimation #turnaround #blender #availableforwork

[ENG] In the rough stage, I decided to put more emphasis on the poses with the feet on the ground, as I felt this would reinforce the feeling of anger I perceived in the character. I then moved on to work on the secondary actions and tested a few possibilities. After showing it to my girlfriend and my brother, I concluded that the shape of the skirt shouldn't change so much, just reacting subtly to the movements of the legs. Yeah, the animation matures with the process (and so does the animator lol). . Character design by @meppitwo . . [PT-BR] Na etapa de rough, decidi que daria mais ênfase para as poses com o pé no chão, pois senti que isso reforçaria o sentimento de raiva que percebi na personagem. Então parti para as secondary actions e testei algumas possibilidades. Depois de mostrar para minha namorada e pro meu irmão, conclui que a forma da saia não deveria mudar tanto, apenas reagindo sutilmente aos movimentos das pernas. Pois é, a animação vai amadurecendo com o processo (e o animador também rsrs). . Character design por Anya Butler . #2danimation #behindthescenes #walkcycle #blender #availableforwork
