Creature & Character Design | Art Direction
Madrid, Spain

Creature/Character Designer and Art Director with 20 years of experience on the design, illustration and creativity field. Mostly focused on creating creature and characters design but I also manage to deal with getting paid to point at things, gesture wildly, and go on long tangential rants about “feelings” and “a movie I saw once when I was 17".

Storytelling and world building is my passion, I love mentoring other artists and pushing the project to be visually stunning.

I also make drone-ambient noises with weird stuff and riffs.

In Basque mythology, Gaueko ("Nocturnal" or "of the night") is the spirit of the night and the God of Darkness. Represented as an invisible presence, in some cases he is felt as a gust of wind, a black wolf -sometimes standing on two legs- or another type of animal such as a cow, owl or sheep.
