61 Straight Ahead w/ Ulises Alvarado Llamas: Health first, portfolio second

Finally, our episode with Ulises Alvarado Llamas is here! Character designer, Vis Dev artist, and former roommate to Ray, we get down to tacks on what Uli does as a Character Designer for a 3D show at Nickelodeon. Uli talks about "Packeting", and the technical nuances between designing for a 3D show and a 2D show. Despite having such a stylized approach, Uli actually prefers designing for 3D! Wonder why that may be? Listen in to find out! But even before is job at Nickelodeon, Uli was invited to intern for Tonko House, and even had a summer internship at UBER. We even dig into his experience freelancing while still in school, and how he wishes he knew how to better balance his self-worth, health, and workload. With such a variety in productions, from corporate to indie, there's no shortage of experiences Uli has to tell.
