Oz 3D | Early character development that never was

Here's some early character development I did for Arc Productions over a year ago. The project was going to be a 3D animated musical spin-off of the Wizard of Oz story.

 

 

Anthropophagi

ENG) This is what happens when you give a creature designer the wrong bedside table book. Currently reading Rick Yancey's The Monstrumologist.
EUS) Hau da gertatzen dena pizti diseinatzaile bati okerreko "ohe-ondoko liburua" ematen diozunean. Une honetan Rick Yacey-ren "The Monstrumologist" irakurtzen.
ESP) Esto es lo que pasa cuando dejas el libro equivocado sobre la mesilla de un diseñador de criaturas. Actualmente leyendo "The Monstrumologist" de Rick Yancey.

The Androphagi [Anthropophagi] have the most savage manners of all. They neither acknowledge
any rule of right nor observe any customary law... [They] have a language all their own, and alone
of all these nations they are man-eaters.
       - Herodotus, The Histories of herodotus (440 B.C.) | From The Monstrumologist by Rick Yancey.

HADA | "Nightmarish Forest Fairy" exclusively designed for Bogotá ACM SIGGRAPH 2012.

ENG) This was the "main course" in the presentation I gave at Bogotá ACM SIGGRAPH last week. I took on an fictional commission of designing a "Forest Fairy Creature" and shared my thought process leading to this concept with the attendees. The presentation will be up on Youtube next week and I'll surely be sharing it with you here. I also recorded the entire creation process and will be making a timelapse video with it. I'll leave you guys under her caring stare until then. Gracias!ESP) Este fue el plato fuerte de la presentación que di en Bogotá ACM SIGGRAPH la semana pasada. Me propuse afrontar un encargo fictício que consistía en diseñar una Hada del Bosque monstruosa y compartí el proceso creativo y de razonamiento con los asistentes. La charla estará disponible en Youtube la semana que viene y desde luego la compartiré aquí con vosotros. A demás de ello, grabé todo el desarrollo de esta Hada, con el que crearé un timelapse para mostrar el proceso al detalle de principio a fin. Hasta entonces, hos dejo bajo su atenta y cariñosa mirada.  Ciao!

EUS) Irudi hau izan zen lehengo astean Bogotá ACM SIGGRAPH-en eman nuen hitzaldiko plater nagusia. Aurkezpen hontarako "Basoko Maitagarri" ez oizko bat diseinatzea proposatu nion neure buruari, eta diseinu honetararte iristeko arrazoitzeak ikusleekin konpartitu nituen. Hitzaldia Youtuben egongo da ikusgai datorren astean eta noski hementxe ere ipiniko dut. Honez gain, hitzaldiaz aurretiko marrazketa prozesu osoa grabatu egin nuen eta material horrekin timelapse bideo bat egingo dut zuei erakutsi ahal izateko. Ordurarte, Maitagarri honen maitasunezko begiradapean utziko zaituztet. Besarkada bat lagunak. Aio!

Bogotá ACM SIGGRAPH 2012

ENG) Had a blast at Bogotá ACM SIGGRAPH´s first day yesterday. It was a pleasure and a huge honor to meet and present alongside the amazingly talented Lindsay Olivares (Illustrator and former vis. dev. at Dreamworks), Adrian Molina (Story Artist at Pixar) and the 1881 Animation crew. Off to the event again today to attend another batch of presentations that will surely rock. 

ESP) Disfruté como un tonto ayer durante la primera jornada de Bogotá ACM SIGGRAPH. Fue un verdadero placer y un tremendo honor conocer y presentar junto a los increíblemente talentosos  Lindsay Olivares (Ilustradora y desarrolladora visual en Dreamworks), Adrian Molina (Story Artist en Pixar) y el equipo de 1881 Animation. Muchísimas gracias a la organización y a todos los que acudísteis ayer a mi presentación. Hoy vuelvo al evento para escuchar el resto de presentaciones, que prometen mucho! Agur!
