I've been quite busy with work lately but last night I dreamt Pixar emailed me to work on a feature adaptation of Ugly Betty (the original Colombian telenovela from 1999-2000) and I felt obligated to deliver lol 🌞

It’s hard to put on words how much this film meant to me, specially because of my trans experience. By the end of my first watch at the cinema, I was seriously devastated, I don’t think I’ve ever cried so much after watching a film. 🧵

3 years ago around this time I started working on my animated short film. For the last year it has been basically my part time job and a big challenge for me, both creatively and financially. But we’ll be done soon! Making animation is so so hard but I think it’s worth it 🥹
Girl, what a year!! It’s the first time I do this after coming out on social media 🥹 you can’t imagine how much happiness and peace I’ve felt ever since 💖 as always, forever grateful to all of you for supporting me and my work ✨🏳️⚧️

Feliz día de las velitas 💖🕯️💖 today is my favorite holiday from Colombia. It’s the beginning of Christmas, so all the Christmas lights turn on in the evening and everyone goes out to light candles in the streets. It’s very pretty 🥹🇨🇴
I’m drawing a lot of expressive character design for animation these days for work, so in my free time I just feel like making more artistic and static character design. The layered PSD, the process video and the brushes I used to make this will be on my Patreon later today! ✨
I don’t really like the way this turned out, it feels a bit too stiff and the colors are off but I’m really enjoying making traditional stuff! I’m very tempted to start making bigger format canvases and small sculptures 🤔
It is done!! It took me so long but I felt so good making it, it has a lot of personal meaning 🥹✨ “me and the apple I carry” 100x80cm acrylic paint on canvas 💖
New video is out!! This one is an introduction to what makes a good character design, also the first of many videos I’ll make about character design theory! 💖
I have a long overdue announcement ✨🏳️🌈🏳️⚧️✨ it’s been a while since I changed my name and pronouns, and I’ve been on HRT for a few months but I couldn’t make it public for reasons. Now it’s finally time to fully embrace it! From now on I shall be know as Mila✨✌️

I even cried while making this picture! It’s not like the film is really that sad, but damn I can relate in so many ways with the themes of this film. I’m very very fortunate that my parents love me and accept me for who I am, even though it still takes them some work getting
Today marks one day since I posted the image on the left and came out to the World Wide Web 🥹💖 it’s been a crazy year, full of ups and downs, quite a lot of downs actually, but I’m always sooo grateful and happy for all the love and support I’m getting 🏳️⚧️💖 happy

It was going really well but then I messed up the shadow and by trying to fix it I messed up everything even more. Oh well… 🫠 I’ll get on the next painting

It’s been a while since I made a fun an expressive sketchbook, for the past few years it’s been mostly studies and work! Tokyo has been super inspiring so I’m trying to channel that in here ✨

used to this real new me.
Coming out gave me a complete different perception on life and death. I’ve learned to value my time here on earth more than ever before, and even if a lot of difficulties and challenges came with transitioning, nothing compares to the euphoria of being

film with even a fraction of the quality of what Guillermo Del Toro, Mark Gustafson, and all the people who worked on this film have made. Animation is not a genre, it’s a high form of art, it’s magic and it’s life and this film is proof of that🥹💖
