A la Luna! - To the Moon and back

"A la Luna"/"To the Moon and Back" is an animated short film I did for my grandmother based on an anecdote from my childhood. She appreciated it quite a bit.

I tried a mostly lineless style with cute characters, resembling a children´s storybook.

Bandas Orientales

Here is a comic book on Uruguayan National History I drew with Martin Bentancor scripting. I had fun emulating Go Nagai´s approach to design.

Hero Academy - The Final Battle?

Sad news this time. Our dear friend, Aisaku, passed away recently. You might know him as Isaac Arroyo, the artist on Hero Academy in charge of the Friday pages. He will be dearly missed.

We talked with Ben (HA´s writer) and decided that the best would be to go into a Hiatus with the webcomic until we get our act together again, so I took charge of the last HA pages of the arc. We were pretty close to the end of an epic battle, so I´ll post some of the pages here for you to see.

The Hero Academy Webcomic

One of my weekly assignments is the tuesday page of Hero Academy, a webcomic scripted by Ben Carver and drawn by Aisaku and yours truly.

I´ve been at this for more than two years by now, starting as a fill in artist when original artist Ivan had some urgent matters to attend.

My first pages were all done in pencil, in a small A6 sheet of paper (1/4 of an A4) and added tones and lettering with the PC.

A scanner malfunction forced my hand into the digital realms, so I have to thank this comic for helping blossom my tablet skills.


Getting used to deadlines, updates, scripts, layouts and character and background designs was a HUGE boost in experience as well, and I can´t thank Ben enough for that.
