    paper The city of moon | episode 1

    Worked as a freelance 2D animator and storyboard artist, creating animated scenes, visual storytelling sequences, and character performances for independent projects and international clients.

    One of my main personal projects is A Cidade da Lua – Tsuki no Matchi, an original animated series that I developed independently. In this project, I was responsible for the full production pipeline, including:

    Story development and script writing

    Storyboarding and scene direction

    Character design and visual development

    2D animation and compositing

    To complete the project, I collaborated with a small group of voice actor friends who helped bring the characters to life. Together we finalized the episode and successfully released it on YouTube.

    This experience strengthened my skills in independent animation production, project management, and collaborative creative work.

    paper Day of Coincidences | The Wonderfully Strange World of Gumball | Fan-Made Episode

    The Amazing World of Gumball – Fan Animation: “Dia das Coincidências”

    This is a fan animation project inspired by the style and humor of The Amazing World of Gumball. The episode features Gumball Watterson, Darwin Watterson, and my original character Sam in a comedic scenario centered on unexpected coincidences.

    The project was developed independently as a creative exercise in animation, focusing on character interaction, comedic timing, and visual storytelling within a fan-made context.
