“Xibalba” Expressions, Character Design by Jorge R Gutierrez. Jorge asked me to really push the expressions including the moustache and vary the teeth from square to pointed shapes to support the acting. Love the way he turned out in the film!
Just love everything about this.
bubblegum-virus-deactivated2018 asked:
You said you got the art book for Book of life, is there anything in it with the Sanchez twins?
They only get half a page, but something interesting.
Their names are Adelita and Scardelita (Twin with the eye patch)
“These two Sanchez girls started out as bandits in Chakal’s army. But since the female soldiers in the Mexican Revolution are such a respected part of Mexican history, we changed them to be the bad-girl skeleton cousins of Manolo.”
One of the artworks is the living/bandit version.
My birthday present from Tara came in early, the “Art of The Book of Life.” It is hands down one of the best art books I own. There’s color studies, shape/design choices, emotive studies, everything. This book is absolute dripping with creativity and passion.
Jorge R. Gutierrez’s passion for this project and well as the rest of them team was a complete joy to look through. Definitely give this book a look if The Book of Life is something you’re interested in. Gutierrez is a huge fan of “art of” books and it really shows how much care was put into it.
One particular quote I liked was the in character art section for La Muerte. (They even listed the specific original works they based their version of her on! La Calavera Catrina by José Guadalupe Posad and her portrayal in the mural Sueño de una tarde dominical en la Alameda Central by Diega Rivera)
Jorge R. Gutierrez: ((La Muerte face paint acting explorations by Sandra Equihua)) “To have Sandra and me pouring our hearts and souls into such a personally meaningful and culturally overwhelming design really brought us together as artists and collaborators.”

ugh I’m gonna lay down now. Sai gave me enough heart attacks crashing to last me awhile.
ref grabs. I guess her sugar coating is her “skin,” she has a nose and everything just painted over unlike the actual skeleton characters.
Was getting references of these two and…lol. Explains why she looks so unimpressed at him in some of the trailer shots haha.
painting the bad dude from the book of life and I can’t
his pupils are just always side view skulls
