walking cycles

Some walking cycle animations i did on flash. I also tried utilizing only objects or the white box (in real life) but i find myself more happy with traditional flash (lol "traditional"). It is surprising how quickly i can animate some things, still the biggest block is myself...whenever i am staring at the blank canvas i am terrorized...not until i start drawing. After the first couple lines, BANG, here comes the magic.

Next will be a skipping cycle. Hopefully i'll make something decent

Whisper me a secret

After doing various backgrounds for a third year project i said to myself
"Time to do something for me!"
so here we go, a dragon and an old man smoking pipes. I did this to test the new cloud brushes i got recently, got to say i love them and makes the work a lot easier.

Whisper me a secret


Solaire of Astora, character design

Another drawing from dark souls

Here i took a male character always wearing an helmet and i turned it into a female. Later i added a filter to make it look more cartoonish.

Pray the sun!

WEIRD CHARACTER DESIGN

Some character design i did between doing e4 estings for school. The theme i imposed myself for this was "different weird characters"

It was fun, it is pretty rough thou

Count Umberto Rosso

Portrait of my friend Umberto Rosso, a very interesting character. He is at the same time a very good friend and a very dangerous man: he is becoming a doctors because he wants to help people and at the same time he wants to murder every single human being in his line of sight. 
We had good and bad times in high school, mostly bad ones, but he still remains one of my best friends.



Yet he is still an ass

Dark Souls reunion

Drawing i did for my brother in two months. He erased it once and made me lose my marbles...still love him.
Took me ages to try and make the characters similar to the ones of the videogame, Dark Souls by From Software, but luckily enough, my brother wanted them cartonized.
It is not very professional, but oh well...

Never again

Dark Souls reunion


But seriously, i love dark souls...the character design is so obscure, realistic and elaborated at the same time...a real source of inspiration for every character designer

Behind you, ash demon

I was supposed to do a drawing for my brother, but i got so tired and angry for losing all the datas (for his fault) that i had to start something else. This was a pain...seriously...there are so many mistakes in this one that i wasn't sure to put it on my blog. The illumination is wrong and the characters aren't that great, but i really like the concept of the ash demon...couldn't get the background right and that column and rock...ngggg...the beast wasn't even supposed to come from lava...but well...as long as it is done...

As you probably noticed i tend to use often the shot that involves a monster (big or bad one) as the main focus and other characters (the heroes or victims maybe?) as background fillings.

Latest work:
Behind you, Ash Demon...
