Another tarot card for the @toronto_motion challenges. This time is the "Two of Swords." I continue to develop my own style, getting deeper into what made me the artist I am, which in part was my childhood. Besides drawing with colored pencils, I used to play a lot with clay by creating all sorts of forms and shapes. There was a show back then called "Pingu" of a penguin and his family. It was all made of clay, and I loved looking at the animation. My piece is trying to emulate that feeling while having my own interpretation of the Two of Swords. In my interpretation, I play with the concept of "old" and "new," "past," and "future," but everything part of the same at its core. . . . . #digitalart #illustration #art #ilustradores #ilustración #ilustrationoftheday #characterdesign #digitalillustration #mood #picoftheday #illustragram #likeart #instaart #motiongraphics #motiondesign #animation #donut #character #aftereffects #cinema4d #c4d #redshift #3d #3danimation #render #mapledonut #3dillustration #artdirection #animacion

The @toronto_motion family decided that for this month's challenge, creating a tarot card with your style, our inspiration was this year's Chinese Zodiac, the dragon. We were given a range of color palettes we could choose from, and the topics had to be based on one or some of the symbolisms behind this figure. I chose the concept of "abundance" but decided to connect it with some Western ideas of what some people think "abundance" is. So this dragon clearly has some "drip" of his own, lol. Expect to see more entries from other great professionals and colleagues from the motion community in the TOMO instagram account later this month. . . . . #digitalart #illustration #art #procreate #ilustradores #ilustración #ilustrationoftheday #characterdesign #digitalillustration #mood #picoftheday #illustragram #likeart #instaart #motiongraphics #motiondesign #animation #dragon #character #aftereffects #moho #lostmarble

Another Tarot Card challenge for the @toronto_motion group. This one is based on the card "The Star." I made an interpretation of the original card, and its several meanings, and brought the whole concept to a more contemporary / fantastical perspective. These pieces allow me to showcase my illustration style and some of the animation techniques I use to bring everything to life. I also add a bit of comedic character by adding little things here and there that relate to my characters. . . . . #digitalart #illustration #art #procreate #ilustradores #ilustración #ilustrationoftheday #characterdesign #digitalillustration #mood #picoftheday #illustragram #likeart #instaart #motiongraphics #motiondesign #animation #dragon #character #aftereffects #moho #lostmarble

Last card I’m showcasing for the @toronto_motion animated deck — this time featuring a hybrid animation combining Moho’s rigging system with C4D+Redshift for the environment, all brought together in After Effects for the final output. The concept was to portray the Joker as a stand-up comedian with a hip hop/Latin trap vibe, performing a show for an audience. It was a really fun challenge, and I got to experiment with a mix of techniques that I’m excited to explore further in the future. #illustration #animation #characterdesign #motiondesign #procreate

Here’s another card for the @toronto_motion animated deck, this time highlighting my 3D skills. I’ve been exploring ways to bring my character design style into 3D, and these challenges have been fantastic for that. Since the video game we’re developing is primarily 2D, this kind of work allows me to switch to a 3D pipeline periodically, keeping my skills sharp and preparing for future projects that might lean more into 3D aesthetics. #illustration #3d #animation #characterdesign #motiondesign

I'm back with a new card for the full animated deck we're assembling with talented artists within @toronto_motion . From my perspective, Jack, though a supposed servant of the queen, possesses am aristocratic aura, much like those seen at fashion shows in designer outfits. #illustration #animation #procreate #characterdesign #motiondesign

#happyvalentinesday everyone and specially my wife. I'm grateful and happy to have found my person. You've made my life better and I treasure everything we've built together. For those curious about this animation, it is part of another @toronto_motion challenge about creating a full card deck. Lots of very talented animators and illustrators from Toronto and Montreal are participating with their unique styles for each of their assigned cards. This is my collaboration for round 2 of this challenge. In the upcoming days I'll post two more cards I did for round 1. I haven't posted in a while because I'm working on a videogame prototype I'm codirecting with my brother. More on that eventually ;) . . . . . #illustration #c4d #redshift #animation

Happy Holidays! 💫 Hi all! I hope things are going well for everyone. "Balanced and manageable" feels like a more realistic goal these days, right? Haha. Just wanted you to know I haven't been posting much lately because I've been focused on what could be the biggest project of my career so far. I'll probably share some sneak peeks next year. I'm really excited about it. One step at a time, onward and upward. This little animation here is not AI ;) I did it in C4D. . . . . . #holidays #christmas #c4d #redshift #happyholidays

Paris 2024 Olympics are almost over. I've had the fortune of watching a lot of the competitions on the side while working on some projects. There's a lot of talented people out there! It's truly inspiring. Here's another illustration I did some time ago about boxing. . . . . #digitalart #illustration #art #procreate #ilustradores #ilustración #ilustrationoftheday #characterdesign #digitalillustration #mood #picoftheday #illustragram #likeart #instaart ##paris2024 #Olympics #boxing #womenboxing #explainer #explainervideo #editorialillustration

I've been watching the Paris 2024 Olympics on the side while making some animation work. The tennis matches have been insanely exciting. I did this illustration some time ago in Procreate. Great opportunity to showcase it. Tennis is probably the only sport I'm decent at, lol. . . . . #digitalart #illustration #art #procreate #ilustradores #ilustración #ilustrationoftheday #characterdesign #digitalillustration #mood #picoftheday #illustragram #likeart #instaart ##paris2024 #Olympics

@toronto_motion has another challenge for this month suggested by another member in the group @awreno . The brief was to create an isometric piece of Toronto. Each visual artist would choose their preferred techniques. I chose 3D for mine. The idea is to put all our pieces together to create the TOMO CITY. I was inspired by the diversity of facades and businesses we can find in Toronto's main streets. I also created a mural for one of the side walls of a building. There's so much street art in Toronto, and I thought it was a great opportunity to depict its love for the Blue Jays. The Raptors are also represented by a mini basketball, which is a representation of the different public sports facilities we can find throughout the city. I also included the iconic Toronto sign in the Nathan Phillips Square. . . . . #digitalart #illustration #art #ilustradores #ilustración #ilustrationoftheday #digitalillustration #mood #picoftheday #illustragram #likeart #instaart #motiongraphics #motiondesign #animation #aftereffects #cinema4d #c4d #redshift #3d #3danimation #render #3dillustration #artdirection #animacion #Toronto #city

May challenge completed for @toronto_motion . This one was inspired by these month's themes of Dark vs. Light / Good vs. Evil. I took this opportunity to celebrate the 25th Anniversary of Episode I: The Phantom Menace. This movie has a special place in my heart because it reminds me of the excitement around it and the expectation to go and watch it during my teenage years. This was the first Star Wars film I saw in the theater since I was too little to catch the originals when they came out. I still remember the feeling when the Star Wars logo appeared on the big screen. What a great memory! I used a mix of software here. C4D and Redshift for the Naboo Royal Ship and the desert. Procreate for the character and 2d asset creation. Moho for rigging and After Effects for composting. I'll see you on the next one. . . . . #digitalart #illustration #art #procreate #ilustradores #ilustración #ilustrationoftheday #characterdesign #digitalillustration #mood #picoftheday #illustragram #likeart #instaart #motiongraphics #motiondesign #animation #starwars #character #aftereffects #moho #lostmarble #c4d #episode1 #darthmaul #quigonjinn #redshift #aftereffects
