Summary

I've been drawing manga/anime style since 1998, with an autodidact base, from practicing and mimicking my favorite artists, comics and series.
I have also practice on drawing cartoons since I was younger, so my personal style is somehow an "in-between" of those art styles.
My work is mostly digital.
I have interest on both gaming and animation aswell, and my personal goal is to make the character designs of a videogame series and learning how to animate.
I've published a few manga style comics in the last years, and I've being the main artist on a Youtube series called "Gameman" on 2013.
I've been working as a Manga Style teacher since April 2014, for Escuela Multimedial Da Vinci.
I've been working as a freelance artist since July 2014.
I've been working as a Manga Style teacher since March 2019, for EFEFE, Espacio de Arte.

Experience

  • Professor of Manga Comic Style (Intensive Course) at Escuela Multimedial Da Vinci.
    Buenos Aires, Argentina
    April 2017 - Present

    I'm teaching a three months-term intensive Course of Manga (Japanese Comic Style).

    It's a fast course, were we look at some tips and tricks for designing characters in a manga/anime style and learn how to tell a story with the manga narrative.

    This course was the replacement for the monthly Chibi Manga Workshop, and it's currently one of my non-freelance jobs as a manga teacher.

  • Professor of Manga Comic Style. at EFEFE, Espacio de Arte.
    Buenos Aires
    March 2019 - December 2023

    I'm teaching an annual Manga Course at EFEFE, Espacio de Arte School.

    This course starts with first annual level focused on anatomy in a Manga Style, for character designs, tips and tricks for all the basics like hairstyles, expressions and poses; and then a second level focused on page design, manga narrative and script creation. Each level runs fo a year-term course.

    This is my main non-freelancer job.

  • Teacher at the Manga Workshop at Escuela Multimedial Da Vinci
    Buenos Aires, Argentina
    April 2014 - November 2017

    I started a Manga Style Workshop at the Multimedia School Da Vinci.

    In this short-term course, we focus on Manga Style tips and tricks, for character designs.

    It was a Manga Workshop up to 2016, and then it was changed into a Chibi Workshop instead, easier and quicker to learn in such a tiny amount of classes.

    It's expected to have a long-term course of Manga (from character design to page design and script creation) upcoming in 2017.

    This was my first job as a teacher.

  • Lead Artist for Gameman (Animation) at Malditos Nerds
    Buenos Aires, Argentina
    June 2013 - December 2013

    I did the character designs, the drawings and backgrounds for a twelve episode cartoon series called "Gameman" for Malditos Nerds.

    This was a humor style animation which takes a lot of inspiration and parodies some classic games situations and power-ups. The series run for a single season that ended in a cliffhanger for a second one, but it's currently on hiatus.

    All the characters, backgrounds and props were drawn by me, the voice acting and animation was the work of some employees of the Malditos Nerds Crew. This was one of my very first freelancer works.

  • Lead Artist at Keiten Group
    Buenos Aires, Argentina
    June 2010 - August 2016

    I was one of the two lead artists at Keiten Group.

    I usually did Pencils and Digital Inks for some of the pages (about a 50% of the total pages) of our manga/comics, also some digitally colored promotional artworks, ads and posters aswell.

    I was also one of the Character Designers, and focused on the action scenes (battles, dynamic poses, "shounen" style scenes). Also drew most of the monsters and "un-human" style characters.

    I also did the designs for some backgrounds (towns, forests, mountains, maps, etc) and mechas and props.

    We published a few fanzines from 2010 to 2012, and then I published my first professional manga/comics work in 2013 for the Larp Editors' contest, Ymir 2013, it was Naneni Love, which was a Shoujo Styled Manga, and I collaborated with Keiten Group on the second part of the story.

    The experience and the popularity of Naneni Love green-lighted us to publish an episodic story, a longer manga, so we presented Somy Somy Login Game, which was a more humor centered manga, which parodies Role-Playing styled games. Somy Somy has a first version, of 100 pages, and it was re-edited in a Tankoubon format (200 pages) in 2015. The series is currently ongoing.

    In 2016 we published El Sacrifcio de Deigamer, for Grupo Planeta editors. It has Deigamer's script and original story (he's a famous local Youtuber), and it was the first manga were I was the lead artist, drawing the storyboard, the character designs, the pencilled pages and the digital inks, also did the backgrounds. Colors, Cover Illustration, Page Designs and Lettering were made by my partners at Keiten. This was the last project that I did along with Keiten Group, as we separated in August of 2016.
