A LITTLE GOBLIN THAT WISHES HE WAS A MAN.

This is the Goblin President. 

His Mother was a Human. His Father was a Goblin.

They both disowned him very early.

He is to cute to be a proper Goblin and too ugly to be a human.

Everybody hates him.

When he is alone in his cave, he climbs over a headless mannequin, and sits on the neck. 

For a few moments he feels like he's a human. It feels good.

THE PORTRAIT OF A SLEEPLESS MAN

I'm researching techniques and styles for a future animation project!

I'm also trying to be a little less cartoony than usual with the proportions.

This is the first test!

The Office (Concept Art)

For an animated short I am developing.

APARTMENTS: 5 YEARS AFTER/ 5 YEARS LATER

Apartment Number $ - The Shaman. (2006)
from Simonwilchesc on Vimeo.

In 2005 I started developing my graduation project. It was a
15min animated short consisting of 4 pieces in different techniques.

At the time; there were many things I did not know, could not do,
or never took into account while developing the project.

I decided, for many reasons, to give it a second look and try to fix
some of the technical shortcomings of the piece. I have been working
on it the past two months. This is sort of the result:

I am pretty satisfied with the results. They are not perfect by any
means, however these show some of the skills I have come to
learn these past years. 

MORAL: Never be absolutely satisfied with anything you do. 
There will always be room for learning and improvement. 

Thank you for Watching.

ADVENTURES IN THE ELEVATOR (Concept)

I just got a new sketchbook and a set of color pencils. I've never used color pencils before and thought this would be a time to break them in.

This is a concept for a poster I have had on my mind for a while now.

"Imagine an elevator door opening to reveal this characters on their way to work"

(From upper left to lower right)

1.Unicorn - Urutoraman - Robot moustache - PlanetHead

2.Slave - 80's Yuppie with Fishtank head  - Chugultu(sic) 
3.The ball with many eyes - Smiles - Executive Bunny - Cosmonaut Cadaver.

RAIN!

  

First concept for animated project.
  HOY - Bajofondo y Juan Subira

HOMO SAPEENS BACKGROUNDS

These are the backgrounds I made for the new episode of The Little Tyrant. Because the episode is a parody of an old colombian nursery rhyme. I tried to do a more cartoonish kind of background, inspired by fairy tales and Disney's sleeping beauty style by Eyvind Earle.

You can go Fullsize by clicking on the pictures.
 

Enjoy :)

PRÖYJVRÄ

This is the final look of the project I am currently working on...

I decided , maybe foolishly, to do it with full animation.
I am loosing my hair with this. I really miss cut-outs.


Thanks.

IT WAS A DARK AND STORMY NIGHT

The first image of a new project.



Trying to do things differently while working out an old cliche.

Let's see how this turns out.

D.D.T or Not To Bee

4 ALL SEASONS

Mankind has used culture to adapt to the hardships of the territory it dwells in.
People who live on countries with seasons know this better than anyone.

TROPICAL JUNGLE

Thanks to my father (co-author of this project) I've been able to come in contact with many environments like this one. This is one of the first pictures I've done based on memory of my 5 senses (Specially Touch and Smell).

Personally I think this one has a different feel to the other ones. It was drawn only with the lasso. A technique I call Lassography.

SPACE, THE FINAL FRONTIER

Background one for the second short.
