I’m not a regular artist. I will not dress crazy and make you wait on the phone. That's a start, indeed. I have a degree as a Cartoon and Comic Artist. I began working for Sabarasa Entertainment, one of the leading game development companies of Argentina and I was their main artist in just two years (yay!)
My skills have netted me several awards, including the 1st place in the comic contest of the 22nd Buenos Aires International Expo fair in which all the art schools participated and 2nd place in MTV’s flash animation contest. The footage was broadcast on the show by the MTV network during the first episodes of "Flash MTV".
I managed several projects at Sabarasa Entertainment; always as a lead artist; some times alone and others integrating a full team of artists. Because of client privacy, I can't disclose some of those projects. If you need further information about these projects, please write me and I will get in touch with you.
Mazes of Fate is a first-person role-playing game specifically designed for the Nintendo GBA. This game intends to take the essence of first-person role-playing games into the portable market, by identifying the key elements that made this genre so popular in the past on other platforms.
The game is composed by first person action, with a semi-turn combat system, all along several different dungeon levels. This game also incorporates additional elements to the genre, allowing for richer stories and depth. There has also been a special effort in user interface design, just to ensure a comfortable game flow.
ROLE: Lead artist, painting, character designs, concepts and illustrations.
Penalties is a multiplayer penalty shootout game. Play alternatively as the striker and the goalkeeper in a 5 round match. Train in single player mode or enter the Lobby, where you can meet opponents, chat with them and then jump to the multiplayer action.
The game was widely accepted by international players because of the beautiful graphics, cute character design and the cartoon-style animations. I was chosen to do the whole game's graphics during a short period of time (twenty days) and we ended up not only on budget, but with a few days to spare. Yep, I did all the art in just ten days.
ROLE: Lead artist, 2D animation, character designs, concepts and illustrations.
Arcane is a game of powerful magic and epic battles. Using cards you can summon armies and earth-shattering spells to destroy your enemies. Featuring a storyline campaign and duel mode for quick battles, Arcane provides hours of training for you to become the ultimate archmage.
I was in charge of all the game graphics, animations and object designs. The outcome? The game is even better than the first one, it has better graphics, amazingly good animations for a cellphone and the atmosphere is terrific. Unfortunately, the game has not been released yet and Angry Machine, the developer company is planning to extend the post-production a little bit longer.
ROLE: Lead artist, painting, 2D animation, character designs, objects design and illustrations.
