Fall 2009

Digital painting for the character design of Sabra, an old curandera of the desert whose name means "thorny cactus". In the story developed for my Fundamentals of ANIMATION COURSE, Kotori's Saga, Sabra mentors Kotori in the use of potions and his shifting abilities. Although she saved and rasied Kotori after the loss of his family, Sabra has mysterious ulterior motives and uses crows as her spies.

The Animatic for the first chapter of the story can be viewed here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ovEGpH4P2ZE
