BECOME A VOTING WITNESS! so says Miss Etelvina


TESTIGOS ELECTORALES from Simonwilchesc on Vimeo.

Written by Santiago Rocha, Santiago Rivas, Simón Wilches
Doña Etelvina's Voice by Santiago Rocha // Narrator's voice by Santiago Rivas
Animatión by Simón Wilches Castro


"A quick institutional made to inspire people to become a "voting witness" for the election day. It was commissioned by Colombian's Green Party.

The original inspiration came from UPA shorts and Zagreb's Bordo. And also instructional videos from the 50's.

I'm very happy with the result, but in retrospective I shouldn't have made Miss Etelvina's breasts so big because there's no room for the mouth, I had to get a bit arbitrary with it.

Eh! What you gonna do."

The Little Sprites.

The following image is another promo Wallpaper made for the Little Tyrant.


Originally it was a mock propaganda for the running presidential campaign of the tyrants.  It's a parody on the slogan of a local presidential candidate which kinda looks like an old woman* and supports his campaign on the concept that "going back it's not an option"

Just like the gameplay on the original Mario Bros and Megaman games.

Here's some clipart with alpha background so you can decorate your power point presentations. ;)

SUPER MAN-PERIOD RUNS!!



Want to read the first Strip of Super Man-Period?

This is my first moving image made directly on photoshop with the lasso tool
and no help of pencil or onion skin. It's moves clumsily, but in this case It helps the attitude.

My good friend Edweard Muybridge made this photo-study of the character running.









More to come. Enjoy.

MAN-PERIOD is a reality.

But as science hasn't found any hard evidence of it's existence

destroying families...

Is there anyone out there able to stop it? I think...

Super Man-Period.

12 MEXICAN FILMS














This was a quick commission (12 images / 12 hours) to do some interpretations of twelve Mexican films from the golden age of cinema. Since I've never seen the movies I had to do the images based on the synopsis. This was a fun exercise based on the form of Eduardo Gonzalez Bachs, the cuban poster artist. They're just a pale version of the genius that is Bachs, but, It's a way to study the master.

Line test 1: Resilient Man

Photobucket

One of the things I enjoy doing most are these sketchy line tests, because they allow freedom and experimentation with body masses without having to worry about details.

Enjoy

PS: Today I'm feeling like this poor fat blob. :S
