Alba: a Wildlife Adventure

Character Art // Tech Art // Animations

In "Alba," our goal was to depict a vibrant and authentic Mediterranean environment, teeming with a diverse array of animal species and NPCs.

The art director, David Fernandez Huerta, ultimately opted for a blocky and simple-shaped art style. This choice facilitated rapid modeling and rigging on my part. I enjoyed the creative process of manipulating shapes, providing each character with a distinct appearance while maintaining overall consistency among them.

I also delved into experimenting with a geometry-swap system for facial expressions and smear effects.

The protagonist of "Bird of Passage" is a Yōkai: a spirit in Japanese folklore.

Despite its minimal design, the character has many references to Japanese tradition: its eye recalls the shape of a Hachimaki, and its dress took inspiration from the white burial kimono used in Edo period funeral rituals.
