You win or you die.

After eight years, the greatest television adventure is over.
A life has passed in the meantime.
We have changed and grown a lot, (not unlike some of the characters in the series) but the initial magic, the love that moves the whole, is still there, intact. :)
I feel very fortunate to have lived the story in the books before the series was released.
Although the series ended in a hurried way becasuse a commercial decision, I can imagine how the ending in the books could close a poetic cycle, in a way that tells us about the human complexity.
I go back to my characters in the books: my dear Jon Snow, my dear Daenerys, the ones I imagined, the ones that JRR Martin created for me. And then I can begin to understand the whole thing and everything seems so beautiful to me.
I can only wish to read some day, properly written, planned, with enough time and the required development, this wonderful orchestral melody which are the novels of Song of Ice and Fire.

This weekend I made a fanart. Nothing special, just to train my hand a little.
But maybe one day I will be able to do something more accurate to my feelings about the saga. :)

Romantic Ageru Yo

When I was a little girl I was fascinated by the ending of Dragon Ball series.
Bulma seemed the main protagonist, living adventures, piloting planes, motorcycles... and riding dinosaurs!! And also there was a little story:
She leave the gun on the table and rests in her room on a rainy day.
Everything was inspirational for a girl like me!!

You can watch here a intro animation I did with this illustration:

I never had a dog.

When I was a child, my biggest dream was to have a puppy. But it never happened.
However, I had a turtle called Diana, and I trained her to attend to his name.
And after years of dedication, she was as sociable that she liked sunbathing with my mother in the garden. As soon as she saw her put the mat, she leave her small pond to go with my mom and climb her white legs (sunbathing was never very effective in my mom, although she put effort on it.).

Well, the fact is, this personal fascination with animals and, at the same time, not have proper pets made me literally to be fascinated when Pokémon came out. xD
You have digital creatures to capture and train... the imagination does the rest.
Today I'm still fan of Pokemon, although it bores me a bit because Creators are so afraid of innovation with the new titles.
Some months ago, I really enjoyed all the launch hype of "Pokemon Let's Go" , and this illustration is the result of it: (yes...it's me again...)

Save point.

Time passes and life goes on, full of new experiences. Too much action during last year to update the blog I'm afraid.
But I really like to leave here, in my dear old blog, these little signs, like save points in a game.

I have been living in Sweden for almost this whole last year. Settling in has been very hard, but in a few weeks I will be moving in to a nice long time rent apartment. It's a very expected moment!

Barcelona will always be in my heart, and I hope to keep having an excuse to return every few months to my favorite city ever. ( I'm doing it very well for now :D )
The years I spent in Barcelona have been the best of my life without any doubt. If I ever go back to Spain, it will be for Barcelona, ​​for sure. A place I already loved before arriving, and I still love after six years. A lot of crazy experiences, love, discovers, hard work, and a big sensation of being the luckyest person on planet. I can't say the same of other cities where I've lived before... they became an smoked and gray prison for some reason or another. But that's ok, life is about learning and changes.
Now life is a mix between homesickness for Barcelona and excitement for the new world to explore in Sweden. Also a lot of coffee moments like the picture below...

Well I really feel excited for the new things are about to come.

I have a lot of new art, but I have to be stylish and keep the "one picture entry" style.
But yes, I will make a new "save point" very soon...

Little Witch animation.

Next weeks, I´m going to be in Japan with one of my best friends. This is the third time I go in a short time... but we always wanted go together and Japan is always amazing experience. :P

This is an animation I did these days:

Gaming Ladies

Not so long ago I made the illustration for the poster of a feminist event in Barcelona.
I just wanted to help a little group of girls to have a good poster to have better impact.
As far as I knew, in an previous edition they were not very successful.
The poster image was uploaded to the social networks and people started to share it everywhere. I like to think that I might have contributed to that in some extent. ;-)
As usual in the videogame industry, (with feminist related things) the event caused a lot of controversy and the poster has gone around all over the internet. xD
Because of this, the event was canceled at first, but finally was held with new sponsors.
I´m very happy with the outcome of the event because the message reached so many people. :-)
A lot of people thinking in the meaning of gender equality.

You can find the Gaming Ladies official account here:

Animation with Dragon Bones.

An animation practice I made with Dragon Bones.

I usually use Spine at work but I wanted to try this another program to compare. :)

Fire Emblem Style

What if I was a Fire Emblem Echoes character? xD
Well, I had to know it, so I have drawn myself trying to imitate the manga style of the great artist Hidari. :P
I´m not an narcissist, but some times it´s hard to find new inspiring ideas to draw. xD

Doodling in the park with Tsuki.

I've tried to make an illustration inspired by some styles of the beginning of the last century.

It's fun to try to simplify everything!

Love

Sometimes you´re the one for some rabbit.

Link and Menta.

Sometimes a game makes history... and it should be played. ;)
I have been crazy for two weeks playing the new Zelda: Breath of the Wild.
...wow I really love this game.
But now it´s time to stop a little bit and continue with my normal life. xD

Menta (mint) is  my favorite horse in my game.
I really have fun riding Menta instead of saving Hyrule. xD

Warm rain.

A little color exercise I did last week.

Tsuki the cat.

Did I ever told you about my cats?
I have two beautiful cats, Atila and Tsuki.
I can talk about them for hours, xD But I only want to show you my last illustration of Tsuki.
(You can see photos of my cats in my instagram.)

This is a scene that happens very often in the mornings when I open the terrace door while I´m preparing the breakfast.
Tsuki enter inside home and show me very proud his prey. xD

I love her expression when she meows to me. She seems to say "Look what I did!!".

On the othe hand, I´m learning japanese... so I use any excuse to practice. :P

Lovely family

I feel extremely happy and honored because one of those people I consider has been important in my life in the past, thought of me after many many years without seeing each other and almost without contact.
She invited me to her weeding!
It's wonderful! I love her!
In gratitude for giving me back my faith in humanity..., I wanted to make a special gift to her, drawing her little family.
She is one of the most talented and beautiful person I ever meet and I'm sure she is going to achieve whatever she wants in life.

Barcelona inspires me.

 Barcelona inspired me from the distance. I was inspired by it when I visiting it in the past, and now inspires me every day after almost 4 years living here.
It is the city where I always wanted to live, and I keep thinking the same.

I don´t want to stay here forever, I have plans to see other cultures.... but please, at the end, I want to return to Barcelona. Because is the place where I find myself, and where more happy I ever been.

Japanese little dogs.

In Japan, I fell in love with little dogs called shiba. The small shiba is very unusual to see outside Japan, at least one of purebreds. They are very special dogs with brave temperament, and the dignity in the eyes of a wolf. Yes, they are one of the older breeds on Earth, and they keep the magic of the wild in his little body. :3  You have to see a authentic shiva to understand... and fall in love. 

Two small robins.

Last year I started to study ornithology. I like to know the kind of birds I see during my trips, and occasionally taking some pictures of them... But it's really difficult to capture sensations with the camera. It´s better to draw them. :3

Two small robins warming each other on a holly tree in a winter day:

Animal Crossing Fanart

In the last days of winter... apart from fever... I have a lot of desires to play Animal Crossing under a warm blanket with my cat on my lap.

Sled dogs.

I spent my last year winter holidays in a mushing journey crossing from Norway to Sweden.  Was one of the hardest experiences I have lived... But also one of the most incredibles. (I have some photos of this adventure in my instagram. n_n )

In these times, I like to rest of the computer (which I use every day at work), and I use watercolors.
I think in this way I enjoy more and draw more at home. :)

Little seals.

When I returned from Iceland, one of the most magical moment that remained in my mind were the small arctic seals playing in the graciar estuary...
