I've recently found a picture of a Jaguarundi. I liked it so much I decided to spent a few hours reading about it and I also painted it from a reference found online. Here it is with a gif in case anyone is interested in seeing the process.

I haven't posted anything online recently that is not project related.
I just wanted to have fun while I was working on my Cintiq... That's the result!

Some photos from yesterday at the University of Sunderland Big thanks to Chris McQuillan and Nora Nadvegi for the warm welcome and to @dan_wacom_uk (who kindly took some photos) and @wacomeurope for sending me there and helping organising the talk.
It was a great day, I saw some seriously good portfolios and got to see the state of the art TV Studio they have!

Here is small town of Porthole for Stan&Gran. It went through a lot of iterations between me, the director @giampaolo.simone and Darren Butcher!
This is not the final version but it's the closest image to the final version I have at the moment (well the final final final can be seen on TV now). Before doing some vis dev I made the entire model in @blender.official , I could actually drive around it XD. It was so useful to visualise it in 3D at the same time as working on it in 2D. It was a nice back and forth between 2D and 3D.
Such a lovely town!

Concepts from a past job I never shared online. The idea here was to have a visual representation of a migraine.
The producer of this commercial wanted me to take inspiration from Venom (the first movie just came out) but not use it too much as ref...
I had so much fun working on this! It didn't feel like I was actually working!

Following up my previous post, here are 2 out of probably 6 sketches I did very quickly to come up with the final shape of the island. Because I had to produce quite a few of these in a matter of couple of hours, I combined my sketches with photos.
Although they were quick I still like these very much!

Not long ago I've found a folder with old work, pitch work to be more precise, that has never see the light of day until... now. I had permission to show the next bunch of images I'm going to post on socials.
This pitch work was for a spin off show of Angry Birds for Amazon. Just before posting it I went to see the final show and I can see they went in a very different direction!
I have another image with the close up of this lovely little character (@vemelin_vm and @cliomillett worked on him and a few more characters at various stages).
I still like this image, I remember I flashed out the entire island in Blender to show all the sets and so on... It was so cute!
Enjoy!
