About Darley Ortiz Garcia

Darley Garcia is a Rhode Island - based artist focusing more on digital media as a way to tell their stories. Their exploration in the world of animation has taught them to 3D model as well as storyboard and create characters that are easy on the eyes but still interesting enough to remember. Being a graphic designer has helped them hone their ability to create comic books and art books that have an interesting and coherent visual language. Together both majors have helped in pushing forward their ability to share their stories to the public.

Statement

This project has gone through a lot of different iterations since I ended up tinkering about in different mediums, trying different ways to show how in depth the idea was. At first it was only going to be a 3D modeled scene but after modeling one of the characters I decided to change courses many times over until I decided it best to make an art book that was inspired by Pixar’s The Art of Luca. I really wanted to show off all the work I had done for the previous parts of this project. While it was a major project to undertake I was lucky enough to have other artists in my life to suggest ideas on how to make the project easier and even make the scope of it smaller. Though in the end I still ended up producing an art book twice as large as I had expected, I feel it’s still entertaining to view with some commentary on the process of how the main characters and the world were created.
