Falling in love: a romantic black comedy

I pitched my 3rd year idea and it went through! I am so happy that I will be able to develop it with a team of animators!

Falling in Love is a romantic black comedy that revolves around suicide. Our main protagonist, Salomone lives in Italy around the 1990 and he is living a sad existence: his daily routine is dull, his life colorless and plain. After gathering courage he decides he wants to kill himself

Unluckily/luckily for him, life has a stronger grip on him than the knot around his neck: Salomone's suicides attempts always fail ending up only hurting him.

Jumping in front of trains, running into buildings on fire, leaping off bridges, overdosing on viagra, Salomone just can't kill himself! He desperatly tries to end his misery until he notices Maria in a flower shop while eating poisonous flowers.

Maria is a young woman in mourning whose face is signed by many tears. Salomone forgets about killing himself for a minute, until the flowers kicks in and makes him pass out.

Back to his apartment, Salomone is sadder than before and demotivated. He decides to jump from the roof of the building where he lives for a certain demise.

He rushes upstairs and is about to jump, until he stops to look at the gorgeous sunset on the sea.

The sweet breeze calms his nerves and the wind blows the surrounding trees creating a delightful sweet synphony. Salomone smiles...maybe it's worth living another day...

he is about to leave when he sees Maria on the bulding in front of his: he tries to catch her attention waving like a madman, but the girl completely ignores him and jumps. Salomone jumps after her, without even thinking.

Salomone speeds toward her trying to grab her hand: Maria face is covered with tears. When Salomone reaches her he imagine how life could have been together.

Maria looks up and sees Salomone's face: despite the situation he seems happy. She is confused at first but smiles back and hugs him harder.

The two of them speeds down, swirling like in a dance, until they hit the floor and die after the fell in love

So far my team can count

Leonie Isaacs as producer

James White as lead animator

Leigh Juggins

Annah Bohac as animators

Dan Bowhay as Sound technician

Rob Owen as special effects guy

Sophie Rippington as script helper and background colorist

We'll probably need some more animators and background artists, but so far we are hella good 

Stargazer

I came up with a small fairytale while thinking about Carl Seagan talking about how we are all made of star stuff, I called it the Stargazer

At the origin of time there was a giant, called Stargazer: he was humongous and gentle, but he was lonely. One day while staring at the void of the universe he wondered if there was somebody over there, on those shiny dots who felt lonely as well. The Stargazer then stood up and started whirling his hand and all the stars around him gathered together. The cluster was almost as big as him but it was cold and lifeless: the Stargazer wondered what went missing, why he was still feeling lonely. He then grabbed the cluster close to his chest and he hugged it so hard that the two became one.
In the cluster of stars there was now movement, heat and life: Stargazer was no longer lonely, he was happy, able to witness all those beings loving an living their lives.

From that day onwards. whenever you feel lonely, look up in the sky: Stargazers are never lonely


I wrote this while i was very tired lol

Fairy yourself

Pixies are spirits of the nature who protect forests and like to pull pranks on everybody
Fairies do not like to be pranked

I imagined pixies being made of wood and grass, jumping around and being very annoying, while the fairies are spirits who shape themselves as stuffed animals and protect children until they grow up.

Undead lovers

"True lovers are bound by soul, not by flesh"

I've been drawing many more romantic related things lately, I don't know why but I feel that conveying mixed feelings through my drawing is fascinating: I often end up drawing goofy characters, monster and weird stuff, so people often see me making illustrations to amuse or make them go "woa dude that's cool, I guess", but I received good feedback on different things.

I hope i am making any sense, lol, basically I decided to add more to my pieces of work: drawing for the sake of fun is fun, but I always try to convey a little bit more on each drawing, call it backstory, lore or whatever.

Do not forget to look at the small details, I always add small little things here and there :)

Doodle den

I drew this doodle and I am glad work is over
It s nice to see a different look. i love drawing but sometimes I feel like I am not as creative as I'd like to be.
Need to look at more artists and snatch their secrects! uhuhuhu

Keep the canvas the same

Well I tried fiddling with my canvas size and I definitely made it too big. This simple pic came out 1 gigabyte and a half. SICK

I drew this vampire chick in my free time. Drawing assets of a glass man for 4 hours can be ... umh

boring?
