This project was a result of me taking my ZBrush sculpt and texturing it. With hand-painted base colors and normals, I was able to achieve a stylized look that closely integrated my illustrative work with my technical work. Responsible for every aspect of creation; done in Maya, XGen, ZBrush and Substance Painter.

A short film I directed throughout the course of 10 weeks with a team of 9 2D animators. Based on the song El Matador by Los Fabulosos Cadillacs, this short film illustrates a greedy bullfighter who, constantly thirsting for glory, encounters his most difficult opponent yet—a shape-shifting bull demon who gives him a battle that is literally, to die for.
My contributions to my short film, EL MATADOR. I was responsible for the direction and storyline of the film, choreography and animation of the dance battle, style guides and designs for the characters, the illustration of some beat boards, and the animation, cleanup, coloring, and compositing of each of my shots.
