Hi there!
I never really did an announcement here when I started my Patreon, but I take this chance to invite you now.
There I post high res works, timelapse videos of my process working on illustrations, sketches, and post my works several weeks earlier than anywhere else.
Also, there's a few fan servicey exclusive pictures that aren't available otherwise, if that's more your jam.🙊
I've just recently posted there a little short animation, and from the last month there's two new pin-up exclusives!🔥
If you'd like to support my work, any help is deeply appreciated! 🙏🏼✨

I've decided to open an online store in Teepublic!
Celebrate this winter solstice and Birth of Huiztilopochtli by wearing a Codex Black themed t-shirt!
A nice way of supporting Donaji & Itzcacalotl's adventures to come!
Hurry while they're at sale price!

Finally it is here as promised!
Took over a year to finish, between school and this being the first time I work together with voice actors and a musician. It's been a challenging but rewarding experience.

[About the story]
I wrote Donaji's story back in 2011 for a school project and designed the main characters shortly after for another assignment. In 2014, I adapted it into an animated interactive e-book for a contest I didn't win, after which I tried to find a way for it to get published at an editorial, but it didn't work out.
Then in December 2015 I began to work on the animated film version, recycling the original interactive animation's clips and adding whole new sequences.
And now, in 2017 Donaji finally debuts in her original story as a protagonist!
This story is related to my previous film:
Black Feathers (2013)
This story will continue in the form of a webcomic, in which both characters, Donaji and Itzcacalotl (from Black Feathers) meet each other and set on to a great adventure in Mesoamerica.
You can see a teaser for it after the credits in this animation.
I've been looking forward to this moment for so long that now I don't know what to say about it, so without further ado...
Enjoy and hope you like it!

Official poster for my upcoming short film, Donaji & the Magical Poncho, now with a set release date on March 16th!
I wrote the story back in 2011, did the interactive animated e-book in 2014 and began this animated film version on december 2015, but just until now it’s done and ready to see the light.
Been working on this over a year, but it’s been worth it.
The animation will be out with voices in spanish and subtitles in english.
Stay tuned!

I did a thing... a 3D thing ;D
Enjoy!
Reason I'm not submitting it to the portal is because it is too short and most of the time people here on NG tend to vote negatively on pretty short stuff; besides, I don't think a turntable is actual portal material.

I haven't uploaded anything here in ages, so I'll leave you with this little compilation of all my unfinished projects that I've made for this site, which explains my absence.
Hope you enjoy, will come back soon with a couple real things to submit, stay tuned!

Hey! I'm back with a new flash submission!
I'm proud to present you Dancing Demons Volumen 3 - Vegetable Juice Edition!
Instead of telling you what is it about, watch it yourself in the portal! Dancing Demons vol.3
This was a project that took a real long time due the amount of detail I added to it, but I think it was worth it. Still, this was just a project for pure fun and for those persons that actually enjoy this kind of stuff.
Yeah, if there's vol. 3 it means there must be a volume 1 and 2. Indeed there are, but those are just loops and they're not on NG, but you can watch them at my DeviantART account!
Dancing Demons vol.1
Dancing Demons vol.2
Enjoy please and vote now!

Hello NG people!
I'm sorry for not updating frecuently, it's just school is terribly consuming my time and it's not worth soming here if I haven't uploaded some good flash.
Anyway, I wanted to update something important.
I'm learning 3D animation using Autodesk Maya! It's awesome!
I'm implementing this on my next flash animations and I hope you like it, I see this as a great step in my animation skills!
I won't upload something 3D to newgrounds soon because it needs time to do something decent, but you can see some examples In my 3D art Gallery
Enjoy! :D
