Listos is a Spanish language leaning tutorial with 24 videos in the set. Alesha and I crated the 2 main character named Alba and Javier. These two young teachers take viewers on a cultural exploration while teaching the Spanish language.

A lot of effort and detail went into the backdrops for the 2 stars of the series. Travel as you learn from the park to the beach, in the jungle or at home indoors. Each scene is tailored to make you feel like you are there, while also acting as a interactive involvement for our teachers.

Each video is about 2-5 minutes in length. And there are some additional characters and animals that also make an appearance as part of the overall lessons being taught. Below is a sample reel of the videos, set to music, which will give you a taste of what the the series is like.

When the team at Vorp wanted to change up thier streaming intro, they reached out to me with a fun idea. As GTA role-play players, they wanted their new intro set inside the world of GTA. But with minor changes to represent their personal story.

I was sent some in-game screenshots to work from. For each I recreated the scene, and broke it into parts for animation. It was a long process, as GTA is a hyper realistic style. So there were a ton of details to recreate. In the end the result was a fantastic looking into that viewers enjoyed watching. So much so they started using it for intermissions as well!

Recreated Scene: In this first scene you can see how the recreation is different in look and detail from the reference. All images that follow went through the the same reference/recreation process, but only the recreations are being displayed.

IIPOG reached out to me when he wanted a new intro and wallpaper (plus a few info panels) for his streaming setup. IIPOG ran with a crew in GTA and wanted to use them in the artwork. He sent over in-game character shots which were used as reference for the characters in the artwork.

We did a wallpaper design that included 11 characters from his crew. After several mocks we landed on an upshot that fit all 11 character nicely. From there I worked up each character individually then overlapped them for the final composite.

We also used a few of the characters in the intro/offline pieces. The offline one is static, but the intro is animated. It’s setup to loop seamlessly and without audio. IIPOG wanted to be able to change up the music being played from his end so we left audio out.

The final art pieces and animation turned out great and really gave IIPOG the vibe he wanted. The community really liked the upgrade, so much so that a few of them reached out to me for work citing IIPOG’s stream package as the reason.

During my time at Nickelodeon I did work as an artist, designer and animator. A lot of the stuff I worked on no longer exists. Below is a snippet of the type of work I did during my 7 year stint.
