Digital Avatar Creation
To be used as an image/mascot on Twitter

A creative way to present ourselves on social networks is through an invented or composed name together with the creation of an Avatar, which represents us in the digital world.

This version of ourselves can be everything we dream of: strong, gallant, charismatic, etc. or as in Mr . Cheat, a subversive, ironic and cynical version of a representation of a diehard fan of the sports world.

The idea behind the creation of the avatar was to represent the average Mexican (perhaps even falling into the cliché), who attends all the games of his favorite team; that rather than taking care of his own appearance, he is wearing a neat shirt of the "Tri"; and that in the stadium, he spits out a whole verbiage, against the rival team, yes, being a sports expert.

My participation in the project was the creation of the avatar, from its conceptualization inspired by the characters of Akira Toriyama, as well as the final render and assets of the character, according to the needs of the client and RR.SS platforms .

Tradonal illustrations with ink
INKTOBER 2018

During October, “A Doodle a Day” rested on daily ephemeris and joined Jake Parker’s INKTOBER 2018 challenge. But at Galahad Studio we thought we took it a little further and made a special list.

Thus, considering that in ancient times we believed in the existence of King Arthur, Brunhilda or Hercules, characters of poems and songs, we wonder what would happen if modern songs also had their heroes? What are the stories that exist within them?

That’s Space Oddity: The Most Wanted in the Galaxy. A tribute I make to all those things I like, such as music, comics, movies and science fiction.

September 2018

September 2018, becomes a great challenge for the project, because much of what happened during the year, is related to births and deaths of famous people.

Illustrations and Animations with different techniques
July 2018

The main challenge of the project is to produce graphics and animations every day, however, it is very easy to be in front of the monitor “blank”, when starting to work without a specific topic.

Therefore, I decided to generate a production list from daily ephemeris, so the contents would be different each time and would help me avoid the monotony of the topics. The list of those created during July 2018, is as follows:

  • World UFO 01_Día
  • 02_Derecho to the vote for Mexican women
  • 03_El Pathfinder lands on Mars
  • 04_#DrawThisInYourStyle
  • 05_Nace Frida Kahlo
  • 06_Se premieres TRON
  • 07_Día of The Beatles
  • pablo neruda 08_Nace
  • International Rock 09_Día
[Vc_column_inner width = “1/2”] [Vc_column_text]

1st International Caricature Competition, José Guadalupe Posada
As part of the activities of the Calaveras Festival 2017
Finalist Image

One of the 50, among 1700 participating works. In addition, he was present at the awards and exhibition of the finalists in Gallery.

The cartoon is a cultural element deeply rooted in the history of Aguascalientes (Mexico). Therefore, during the November festivities, the state organizes the Calaveras Festival and in its 2017 edition, it organized the 1st José Guadalupe Posada International Cartoon Contest (famous Mexican cartoonist).

In this first edition, the central theme was the Catrina, an iconic figure of Mexican culture invented in 1913 by Posada and baptized by Diego Rivera, which has taken on special importance in recent years, thanks to its appearance in Mexican crafts and art, as well as in its appearance in films and books around the world.

My proposal was to recover the mocking sense that Posada imprinted on her, so I illustrated a very funny and carefree Catrina, riding on a revolutionary train, while leaving behind its creators and the history of Mexico, seeking to remain modern, despite the passage of time. The original sketch was made with pencil and down, while the color was applied digitally.

As a Mexican I highly value my culture and its traditions, so as well as in El Largo Camino, I have also made other illustrations such as the Tonatiuh T-shirt or for the exhibition Thinking about death, which I invite you to know.

ApantallaNet
To promote your Digital Signage service
Illustration Development and Art Direction

In conjunction with the Blue Labs team, a two-minute animated spot was developed to promote ApantallaNet’s services.

It was important to be able to condense in a very short time, all the advantages of using this platform, compared to more traditional media such as television, radio and printed billboards. This throughout the development of the project, was complicated because very easily you could misinterpret the message making the viewer feel that it was only sought to discredit these other media.

Therefore, in the script it was proposed to generate a storytelling around a character, to show how we are continuously surrounded by advertising, from the moment we wake up and until night falls and that due to this, we ignore a lot of this information. This transition of the day of a normal person, allowed us to include the advantages of customer service while showing data on the impact produced by other media. It was then possible to make a simple infographic an interesting story.

My participation was to generate the original script according to the client’s brief, as well as its storyboard. In addition, all the illustrations of the animation were developed and the development of the project was supervised as Art Director. The production and management of the project was by the Blue Labs team.

Diploma in Digital Illustration
Academy of San Carlos, UNAM
Final Project As part of the curriculum of the Digital Illustration diploma of the Academy of San Carlos, it was proposed that the final project was the realization of an animation, which included the techniques and methodologies seen throughout the course.

In this way, being the free theme, I developed the “pilot” episode of a personal project that I planned to develop, when the opportunity presented itself. The animation takes as inspiration the character of Major Tom, present in the music of David Bowie, as well as the “Retrofuturism” of the 50’s. The concept of the project takes all these elements of culture, music and literature, to generate a psychedelic and nostalgic conglomerate. Quite an ode to those things I like.

Digital Illustration Practice
Personal project

How dizzying daily life can sometimes be does not allow, on many occasions, the opportunity to practice and study to learn new techniques and working methods.

In this sense, my professional experience has always led me to the development of vector illustrations, for both web design and animation projects, leaving aside other techniques more suitable for other types of products. Therefore, I made this illustration using a style closer to digital painting, with the intention of practicing this type of image development and to acquire more practice with the digitizing tablet.

I chose the character particularly because, in addition to being a professional in illustration, I am also a fan of animated series and movies. It has always been important for me not to lose this spirit, because my vocation as a designer is accompanied by my own way of being, as well as what defines me as a person. So, as in The Knights of the Zodiac, we must “elevate the cosmos” in this adventure that is life.

Ilústram’esta
Project sponsored by CONACULTA
Ilústrame ́sta is a project that seeks to use the platform of the shirt to bring together works by illustrators and visual artists with the intention of exalting the work done in Mexico.
In this way, one of the themes is To illustrate a Deity of ancient Mexico. My proposal was to illustrate Tonatiuh, aztec sun god, giver of life and who was offered beating hearts of the sacrificed, in short, one of the most venerated divinities in Mexico.
