I then began to visualize the character in various contexts, from drawings and animations to murals. He was named after an urban legend I heard as a child, concerning a werewolf creature that roamed certain parts of Cordoba in the 1980s. While the story may have a darker connotation, my character is rather playful, harmless and curious. When I began experimenting with polymer clay, I chose him as a way to familiarize myself with translating an idea from two-dimensional to three-dimensional art. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5d13a1feead966000169e47e/1675896937543-NL4Q4EQT88M3R4LNFSR7/DSC03494.jpeg Portfolio - Lobizón The first time I encountered this character was in a painting I had done some time ago.
