Max and Quackers:
The Red Scare
(Under production)

Film noir inspired animatic. The two characters have been on the back of my head since 2020, but I decided to bring them to life while working on an Aardman academy exercise. In the end I enjoyed it so much that I decided to start working on it as a fully fledged animation short along my former classmates Sarah Elise Nickerson and Jay Setter. Stay tuned for more goofy animated characters living in very serious settings!

The Siege of Nebula

This is a long-term story telling and world-building project with the aim
of stablishing the foundations of a long format Space-opera type of story

Siege of Nebula: prologue (2023)

The planetary colony of Nebula Prime has been under siege for 3 years. Resources are low, and the situation seems critical.

Siege of Nebula: The Navy's Last Stand (2023)

As the assaults on Nebula City intensifies, the nebulese navy prepares to fend off the agressor's blockading warships.

Siege of Nebula: Gallery

A compilation of sketches and development materials that I have produced for this idea over the last 3 years.

In the last two animatics I have focused on developing the story's premise and general feel, with few character interactions. These characters however do exist and future animatics will focus more on them. Until then, here you can have a glimpse of how they might look like!
