I live my life by Peter Cullen's words. He's the reason why I fell in love with Transformers and why Optimus Prime is a personal hero. This one hurt a bit personally, but I am so happy I got to share credits with him twice (and even got my ass beat by him once). Roll out, Prime!

Re: "Duskfade" I've written a post about what it was like working with Weird Beluga and Fireshine Games as a story writer and narrative designer, what it meant to me and how it has been one of the highlights of my professional life. I hope you'll read! www.diegovalenzuela.net/post/duskfad...

Duskfade and the Fight Against Despair

Halfway through 2023, my pet bird Jim (full name James Laserbeak Valenzuela) unexpectedly passed while I was abroad with my fiancé for a wedding. Now, Jim got me out of one of the deepest depressions ...

Arsis is the main antagonist of "Knighted", a project I've been developing with Mako Animation, which will soon see the light of day in exciting ways. He was designed by /RubenSteven4 (TW), voice by yours truly. I'm proud of it, especially the rendering.

I trekked all the way to Toronto to see my work on the big screen but some shit band called Alestorm was up on stage blocking the view the whole time. 0/10, do not recommend, pirate their music.

Ahoy all, I'm doing some promo animations for work and was hoping to show some WIP to get some feedback. This is a first pass on polishing and I wanted to get feedback before I go too far with it. I'm still fixing things but any thoughts are appreciated.

Finally managed to finish a drawing. Based of a conversation between Venom and Hulk in Marvel Rivals, where Venom expresses interest in binding with Hulk, and I can just imagine Eddie going “well guess I’ll just f myself then”. It was a lot of fun to do and I’m reasonably happy with the result.

Art Vs. Artist 2025 (first one I've done). Up until the last two months, this was a rough year, but I'm very happy that I used that down time to really practice art, resulting in probably the greatest improvement I've had.

Every day I’m reminded why Spidey is my favorite superhero and lately I’m drawn to well drawing him more. Although I didn’t like the background I am very proud of the characters, particularly Peters hands and arm. Hope you like it. I have one more in me before the year ends. Hope you like it!

Though I wasn't quite as happy with this one as I am with the last one, I'm proud I'm at least trying to learn how to draw backgrounds. A shitty one is better than not trying at all, I guess. Anyway, enjoy!

New #Bane illustration. Probably my favorite I've done in a good while. I even drew a background like a big boy. Here's your reminder that Patrick Brown's Patreon is an incredible resource for artists. He's an incredible teacher and just watching his tutorials has helped me really level up.
