Hi, my name is Robert Vistal. I'm an animation and illustration artist. I general I work in digital 2D animation but, I also enjoy working on 2D drawings digitally and traditionally. As well as experimenting with other forms of multi-medias for art. Like charcoal, watercolour, pencil/fine liner.

My dream is to be able to share my animations all over the world, work alongside other artists, learn from them. Even more in professional studios to gain experience and naturally master the craft of animation. By keeping an open mind, I love experimenting and not limiting myself to one style. Typically, I have a looser style to my drawings and animation to create more natural rough real detail/movement.

For my Final Major Project I had made an animation focused on two individuals, Rory and Belle and they are both couples. They both have a falling out and still try their best to reconcile, leading to arguments and distance between them.

An earthquake or tremors plays in the background of their argument, to which coincidentally forces for them to work together to be save. They find themselves in an underground sewer which further forces them to slowly reconcile. Accepting the fact they still truly love one another. By the end, they haven't fully made up but that fire of love they share is ignited once more.
