Rayman is finally back, and it was an absolute blast pouring all the love I have for this character and his world in this new adventure.
I want to remember tho that this is a team effort, and I want to say that this wouldn't have been possible if it wasn't for my colleagues (⬇️)
I'd say we begin with some behind the scenes... the expressions are probably the thing I enjoyed doing the most 😂as they set the bar for how expressive the character should have had.

I can finally say I had the honor and the immense pleasure of doing visual development and character design for a modern take on

WELL... I guess the eggplant is out of the bag? 😁
Here you can see the design I came up with for a modern spin on

Hope you're happy with it❤️
It certainly was a dream come true to modernize this amazing character!

Found these three explorations sheets for characters interaction of the Phantom show DLC that I don't think I ever shared.
They were in a separate folder so I completely forgot about them😂
Aaand done!!!
Finally finished my Mini Mario Toy figure!!
Kinda funny how this started and a fun project more than a year ago (modeling etc) and then few weeks ago was announced a remake.
Learned a lot while making it...

The second Combat Fatigue that appears in

Aside from the costume itself I was tasked to design the rocket that Rayman would have used to trash enemies during battles.

on Oct. 20!
Pre-orders now available:
As the day here in Milan comes to an end, I am so happy for being part of this beautiful adventure...
From a kid that used to trace Mario and Bowser's sprites from a TV screen, to actually work as a concept artist on an official game, I literally can't express my joy today
❤️
Probably one of the thing I'm most proud of this production! The sinergy between the departments (concept, 3D and animators) developed the most expressive version of Rayman that we have ever seen in a 3D game.
Awesome teamwork❤️
🌪️You spin me right 'round, baby, right 'round
Like a record, baby, right 'round, 'round, 'round🌪️
Vortex Combat Fatigue from

Did you know that before becoming a manga, Kingdom Hearts started out as a european comic?
It was made here in Italy as a one-shot episode titled "The sceptre and the Kingdom".
The magazine was sold to whoever preordered the game in Europe.

Oh hey, here's another thing I took care of😁
Got to modernize the looks of the Vortex and Shock Rocket costumes.
Btw, can you see the little Easter egg in the Vortex design?
Lessee how deep you know the IP 😉

Found my old iPod touch from (I think) around 2008 in the back of a drawer...
Battery is completely fried, it won't last not even an hour (actually I'm even surprised it turned on)....
But I got a bit nostalgic seeing these old appstore games... That are still working!!
Forgot to share this one...
Example of the back and forth that can happen when switching from a 2D concept to a 3D model; but that's absolutely the part I love the most about my job, going back to the drawing board to fix problems and improve it.

Welcome to the Flower Kingdom! Six worlds circle the Petal Isles for a total of seven unique locations, each with their own range of courses to explore.

I really enjoyed being pretty free of pitching visually iconic elements from the series to awake fond memories for those who played
#Rayman
games in the past.
Here's the Plum tree, from Pink Plant Woods, in the very first game.
I've seen Blinx popping out a bit more lately, maybe people were expecting something from the XBox showcase.
I highly doubt we'll ever see him again, but I'm still amazed by the character design made by Naoto Oshima.
it has all the traits I love for a character design.

Oh hey
#PortfolioDay
again?
I'm a concept artist, visual developer and character designer at Ubisoft Milan.
Previously worked on Disney comics and children books, I love to create colorful worlds and characters.
I'm actually sorry for those who wanted a DK solo game, but at least this is the right direction.
For those who haven't tried the original first Mario vs DK game (on gba), this is actually a beautiful puzzle platformer game, with many cute and clever mechanics.
AAAAND THAT'S A WRAP!!

Not gonna lie, I think I would fight with all my strength to achieve a small "sex bomb" reference if I'd ever get the chance to work on a new game 😂😂😂
(I even know where and when I would use it)
...Rayman 1 was my very first playstation game and I remember vividly when I was sitting in the living room, trying to replicate the minuscule artworks in the game manual.
I am literally bursting with joy, we hope you'll like what we have in store!!🤪
Today is a GREAT DAY for the Rayman Community!!! My congratulations to everyone!!!😭🥹💓💕💞💖💕💓
@UbisoftMilan
, thank for giving us a light of hope for the better future of our one and only loveable Rayman!❤️❤️❤️

Time for some more behind the scenes.
One of my favourite areas to concept was Cursa's Stronghold.
We were going for a lifeless/rotten version of visited areas (sign that they were infested by the Darkmess)
Had a lot of fun with this one.
