I made a music video! Back in November my friend Montoro called me to help make this video for local Barcelona artists Prieto and Noa. This was a lot of fun to do and I’m super proud of the final result. Now back to work! 💪🏽 💪🏽 💪🏽

Dedicating my cooldown sketch to the unforgettable Carrie Fisher and Princess Leia. Star Wars was a huge deal for me growing up and one of the reasons I love space so damn much.

Quick and dirty Jyn Erso cause Rogue One was DA SHIIIIIEEET! Seriously so happy I went to see it and when I got out of the theater I was so pumped I had to make this.

Today’s 10 minute poses. I was really surprised with how some of these came out, but noticed I have difficulty controlling the length of my strokes, which is why the last sketch looks nothing at all like the model.

This month’s theme for the Character Design Challenge is “Harry Potter”, so I drew a stylized and modern Kingsley Shacklebolt and his talking lynx patronus!

Going in, I didn’t know that much about the character other than he is one of the few black wizards ever mentioned in the books and that he is an extremely accomplished auror. Also, I remembered when I read the Order of the Phoenix that in his introduction he’s described as a man who was dressed well enough to pass for a muggle, so I figured since he’s an escort to the Minister of Muggle Affairs, that he would be dressed as secret service/security detail (as far as the colors, I just used the palette worn by the character’s movie version, to keep a relationship to that incarnation of the char).

Also, even though his sorting house is never mentioned, he seems to have all the traits and characteristics of a Hufflepuff, so I sprinkled some nods to that in his design.

Testing this smoke animation because suddenly I became obsessed with Joseph Gilland’s Elemental Magic books and I’m trying to get the timing right for special effects.
