Character design for The SPA Studio's "Giacomo's Secret".

The Spa Studio were formerly known as Animagic Studios. 
Both studios have been and are owned and directed by my good friend Sergio Pablos.
I created the characters for Sergio's project under his inspirating supervision and always relaying on the help of his extraordinary draftsman skills.
It was a beautiful and unforgetable time. We were both just back from our recpective Disney studios (Sergio at Burbank, as supervising animator; me in Paris, as animator) and worked hard together for a project in which we deeply believed.
Pretty sadly, the movie finally didn't come up. 
Anyway, I'll always thank Sergio for giving me my first chance to do visual development and character desing.
This is some of the remaining art from that time.

    Un lujazo ver estos diseños, lástima que no saliera adelante la producción porque por el trailer que ví en su día y por la gente implicada en ella, mejor pinta no podía tener desde luego. Saludos y enhorabuena por tu talento

    Muchísimas gracias por tu comentario, Álvaro. Sí, fue una pena, pero como dice Sergio, más vale mirar hacia delante.

    Un trabajo excelente, cada personaje tiene una expresión esculpida solapada con la personalidad.

    Gran trabajo, felicidades, aunque por lo que leo no saliera adelante la producción, esto es un reflejo de lo que puede hacer un magnífico profesional.
