Welcome!

My name is Santiago but you can call me Inpu or Upu.

Life:
I started my studies with a tutor as a child, in traditional drawing and painting. My study was reinforced by my father (he was a painter) and his art books collection. Learning from diverse sources, started to drawing and painting digitally.

I've always loved animation, and then anime got my attention. I started self-teaching to animate in traditionally and digitally. At the same time, I started working with 3D software. But not only animation got my attention.... I am in love with movies with great cinematography, lighting, scripts... and believable actors!! It is an amazing way of making art.

Work:
Everyone needs some money and I am not an exception, so I started to work as a free-lancer in design (website and graphic) and illustration (drawing and painting). I published some tutorials for the .PSD magazine in Spain. I also do commissioned work here on dA!

deviantArt:
My friend *Bastet-sama showed me this place a long time ago and I was doubting about getting in, but I finally did it. It was so good that I got my girl ~Cruz-Del-Sur to join with me! I met a lot of wonderful people (now, my friends), amazing artists and an excellent Manager of Film Development (Rox ).

Film & Animation:
When I saw this for first time I said, "I have to do it!" and I sent some of my animations to be reviewed and they were accepted. And I did it!! That give me the spirit to keep working hard on this. I was honored to be a Film and Animation Gallery Moderator. Now, I am a Senior but I will be around anyway

Thanks to everyone!
InpuUpUaut.
