Restyilin' web-game for DIsney

Helloooo!
Even if I not post so much I think about postin' my stuff. I have so many things but everything is topsecret for now, BUT (and I'm sayin' BUT) I can post this. This is a work I did for a Disney webgame called Fun & Friends. A game where kids has to make they're own avatar, wear it and buy stuff for his virtual bedroom. They asked me in order to change the Style and the characters.
Then they decided to change the style again so, now I can post this :-)
I love Disney.
Here we go.

Doodlin' waitin' for lunch time.-

Hello everyone!
Firstly,
thank you for watchin' my blog,
thank you so much, and sorry I'm not posting every week but the commission now are too much and everything I do is top secret 'till it'll be published.-

So, I was at the school of comics, after a meeting with the Boss (i'm gonna teach there for a while, it's gonnabe a "3 Months short corse" in flash basic animation), I had to wait 30 minutes to go for lunch with the other teachers.- So i doodled those JOSH the Cat,

I'm gonnawork for Walt Disney Company Italia!

Hi Everyone! Sorry if I didn't post from a lot but, I had 3 children's books to make and
I'm makin' on a video spot for a company in Milano.
But while I was workin' on those things, I had a call from Disney!
This was my dream from when I was 5 years old.
The place where Giorgio Cavazzano, Romano Scarpa, Stefano Intini, Fabio Celoni, Danilo Barozzi and, my favourite one, Corrado Mastantuono are from, asked me to make a test for a new project I can't tell about for now. So. We're talkin' about Disney.
When I went in THE studio that day, and I saw that 3 meters woodmade Mickey Mouse I started to cry a little bit. Actually.. I had problem to stop that :-) Sometimes dreams really comes true.

Uncle Walt was right!

I'll do my best (as everytime)!!!!!!!!!!!

Hello everyone!
I hope everything is going good (at least in a creative way :-) ).-

I'm sorry if I'm not posting so much but working for big companies means that most of the time, everything I'm doing is not mine so I can't post it before they publish it. I'll be superbusy untill december (for now) so... I hope to find time to make something for myself, like an illustration or a little project (I don't know).-

So, here we go.- This is the online magazine fatti di china, I did this little short for them:



and this is the animatic I did before:




this is the thumbnail storyboard:

Train Sketches

I went to Milano by train,
I was going to sleep but to many people made to much noisy so..
I decided to do some sketches for some ideas I have in mind!

being a superhero!

Sometimes we would like to have superpower.

Sometimes we'd like to be a superhero.

Sometimes we have an assignment: draw yourself as a superhero.

ok. This is it! I've found these sketches I did some months ago, I like to share them to you.

I would like to be a superhero. But just because of the clothes. Maybe.

Michelangelo's David is a perfect place for Lunch time!

Ciao everyone!
I did this drawing for the Bobby CHiu contest, I'd like to make another one but I am very superbusy, working on a book for Geronimo Stilton and on another project that for now is kind of secret :-) Coming back to Italy was also kind of confusing to me, I'm feeling that I need some time to re-organize myself and see what is (and what is not) as before here.

THe topic was : your own take of a classic statue. First think was David of Michelangelo, one of my favourite statue I've seen so many times in my favourite italian place: Firenze!

And.. that's it!

I hope you guys will have a supernice week end!

I WOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOON!

I can't believe it!!!
I've finally won the Bobby Chiu contest!!! WOW! I'm waiting for his original drawing now, dedicated to me!!! WOWWWWW!!
SUPER WOOWWW! Thanks Bobby these contests helped me a lot to improve my skills! So.. doubled prize!
ok..

Here we go! This is the drawing I did in 30 minutes ( plus 15 for scan that and put it in photoshop + uploading stuff and bla bla bla) The topic was : Die with your Boots on!

Thank you for the sketchoholic gang that voted for me! I love you guys! Everyone did a wonderful job!

(My favorite was the one with Wonderwoman)
