Giovanni's Island (2014)

2014 · Production I.G feature film, directed by Mizuho Nishikubo · Background art director

I worked as a Background art director for Production IG Giovanni's Island. Directed by Mizuho Nishikubo I crafted the backgrounds artistic style from the very beginning, drawing the distinct line style through the most of the animation layouts.

The line style he created for the backgrounds shaped the look of the whole film, and at Production I.G it became known as "Santiago style".
