How To Train Your Dragon 2 - Fan Art

How To Train Your Dragon 2 may not have won the Oscar on Sunday, it won my heart and will always own it. So here's a fan art of Hiccup and Toothless.

By the way, I'm sorry for not posting for so long. The visa for Orlando took all my time (and thoughts). I'll have a bit more time from now on, until my departure.

The Lion King fan art

I have always wanted to make a fan art of the Lion King, especially of Simba (the King of my heart). But you know, when you see so many pieces of art done already, you tell yourself "well, it won't be original enough to catch someone's eye". So I left the idea aside for years, until now.

As I'll be a portrait artist in Disney World, I thought "hey! Maybe I could make portraits of my favorite animated characters!". So here is the first drawing : Simba and friends, Timon & Pumbaa.

To me, this movie is the best Disney studios ever made. It's also the first movie I've ever seen in theatre (I was 2 and a half), so I probably helps think that. And obviously, it's the one that made me want to become an animator.

FESTIVAL ALERT

Looks like my graduation movie, "Happily... Even After", made it to a Festival!

It'll be presented at the Monstra - Lisbon Animated Film Festival in the "Best of the World" program, from March 12 to March 22, 2015.

I never thought my movie would be selected anywhere, but it did! And I'm more than happy about that. Working hard pays off. That's why I never stop.

As a reminder, you can watch "Happily... Even After" HERE.

3D Animation - A new friendship

Hey everyone! I'm back with a new 3D animation. 

I manage to find time to work while preparing my departure for Orlando. I'm not giving up!

In this one, Morpheus meets a snail. Snails are sloooow, but I tried to make this one interesting.

Don't worry, Bonnie's still around, and you'll see her again soon!
Also, I'll have to find out how to make good renders on Maya. I think it'll take time.

Silhouettes - Round 2

Yes, I'm fighting with this technique!

I love it, but I think I'm a bit too perfectionist. So it takes too much time for me to make one. 

(2 minutes is too much!)

Anyway, here are the new ones.

Ralph (Disney) - Hiccup (Dreamworks)

Little sister - Little brother

I'm not giving up! Two more months to get better and faster!

HAPPY NEW YEAR

I know I have one full month to wish you all a Happy New Year, though I wanted to do it on the first day of January. 

I wish you everything you've ever dreamed of.

I hope you're full of great food because from now on, normal life is taking its toll on our freedom.

Please, don't take the doll as an example. Even though she has a customized treadmill, she said it all. 

No resolution for her!

Fortunately, I'm not her, and I do have resolutions, like everyone.

Will I keep them? I'll work on that too, just like everyone I guess.

What's coming in 2015?
- Portraits & Caricatures & Silhouettes (of course)
- More 3D animations
- 2D animations
- "Behind The Gate" starring Nell (No, I didn't forget about this project!)
- Doll development (finding her a name would be a good start...)
- Character Designs
