Some Life drawing in Oslo from a session last week. Because I live in Oslo now 😁 while working on a feature film for the very first time. Exciting times ahead! PS. this is the first time I've drawn a pregnant lady too - it's been enlightening! Great model! . . . #lifedrawing #oslo #animators #katerinapantela #animation #sketchbook #drawing🎨 #designer #animationartist #practice #fromlife #greatmodel https://www.instagram.com/p/B398k62jJhK/?igshid=uku9mul4ju1r

Work in progress for a possible pitch! The infamous gang of Chasamboulia was a Cypriot trio of criminal brothers who terrorised the southern part of the island in the 19th century. Cyprus is way more exciting than what I thought as a kid! . . . #characterdesign #conceptartist #animationstudio #animation #χασαμπουλιά #chasamboulia #instaart #banditos #cypriotstories #truestory #katerinapantela #cyprus #infamous #characters #εικονογράφηση #pitching https://www.instagram.com/p/B2hKJd4g9Bn/?igshid=16q3h22rda16m

Κόκκινη κλωστή δεμένη, στην ανέμη τυλιγμένη, δώστης πάτσο κλώτσο να γυρίσει, παραμύθι ν' αρχινίσει... Τον μύθο της βασίλισσας Μελουζίνης, με ρίζες Ευρωπαϊκές, τον άκουσα για πρώτη φορά από την αφηγήτρια @marina_katsari και τον μουσικό Βαγγέλη Γέττο (στην όμορφη Κυπριακή διάλεκτο), στο κάστρο της Λεμεσού/ Μεσαιωνικό Μουσείο Κύπρου. . . The story of Melusine, the beautiful queen cursed into being a mermaid, became known to me a few days ago at a storytelling session at Cyprus' medieval museum that also happens to be a castle. I was clearly captivated. Thus, this merMay submission 🌫 . . . #mermay #mermay2019 #melusine #mermaid #storytime #storytelling #story #folklore #παραμυθι #μυθος #midievaltales #characterdesigner #cyprusillustrator #instaart #conceptartist #katerinapantela #illustration #εικονογράφηση #artstudio #animationstudio #artistsoninstagram #lemesoscastle #europeantale (at Cyprus) https://www.instagram.com/p/Bx-ZKhjgtr3/?igshid=3n8bn0mki79s

The Librarians are going to LA! I've received some news that made me very happy this week. My Librarians piece created while taking a character design course at CGMA 2D academy back in 2014, has been selected for the upcoming CGMA gallery show The Art of Creative Composition, amongst many other pieces of CGMA alumni and industry professionals. These guys were the very first character designs I was actually happy with, instructed by the great Nate Wragg. The gallery opening will be on Saturday 8 June 2019 at The Animation Guild Gallery 839 (1105 N. Hollywood Way Burbank CA 91505) from 5:30 pm to 8:00 pm. Work will be on display until 30 June. . . #animationguildgallery #cgmasteracademy #cgma2dacademy #animationstudio #characterdesign #animationindustry #characterdesigner #conceptartist #conceptart #librariansofinstagram #instaart #animation #exhibition #la #artistsoninstagram #chuffed (at Cyprus) https://www.instagram.com/p/Bx5QByAgwZ0/?igshid=h4tn85mhoew8

I never got around to sharing this here, the animated music video I directed, designed and partly animated, commissioned by the Tempelis Drakos Production company (Ο Τεμπέλης Δράκος), a series of children songs I've been a fan of for years! It's been an honour creating one of the music videos - huge thanks to @magnuskravik and everyone who worked on it. For the full animated song visit https://youtu.be/98RTg4JR1zg The song is titled The Ice Cream Man with vocals by the great @sofiapapazoglou72 .It is in Greek of course but feel free to turn on the subtitles 😊Enjoy! 🍦🍧🍨 . . . #otembelisdrakos #οτεμπέλησδράκος #οπαγωτατζης #toonboomharmony #toonboom #animationstudio #characterdesign #visualdevelopment #animatedmusicvideo #childrenssongs #characteranimation #illustration #cyprusfilmmaker #katerinapantela #directinganimation #icecream https://www.instagram.com/p/BvpOwqwFmyW/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=1m00uoj4wrov4
