The Surreal Manairon.
This piece was created for the Manairon Skin Challenge, a contest organized with XPPen Spain: https://www.instagram.com/p/DVN5qA2jT0f/?img_index=1 The challenge: design an original skin (outfit) for a Manairons character and integrate the Artist 12 3rd Generation tablet into the scene as part of the illustration. In my entry, the tablet becomes a magical gateway—a tool that channels surrealist energy, blending Salvador Dalí’s iconic symbolism (elongated elephants, insects, the persistence of memory) with the ancestral folklore of the Manairons, the tiny mythical beings said to be born from plants on the night of San Juan. Through vibrant colors and dreamlike imagery, the work explores the intersection of creativity, technology, and Catalan cultural roots, imagining the tablet as an object of artistic magic within the Manairons’ universe.
