h ters are trying to leap from the pag

“Before I discovered animation,

my first love was comics, so

I draw lots of comic characters”

HELLBOY
“Before I discovered
animation, my first love
was comics, so I draw lots of
comic characters. It’s fun to
give a personal view of some
of them, such as Hellboy.
A great character and
a brilliant design.”

WARRIOR

DWARF

“A warrior dwarf. I’m not a

fan of The Lord of the Rings

saga, but I love this kind

of aesthetic and

character.”

BLADEMASTER

“A cartoon-style drawing. I feel

very comfortable in this kind of

style. It’s closer to what I usually

do in my animation work.

And I love swords!”
