“Designing characters has always been just a part of my work since I got started with comic books, meaning I had to attend to all aspects of the story, not just designing the character visually but also from the psychological point of view, plus locations, color, mood etc., which I find particularly interesting of this artform as you need to be aware of everything all the time.” ~Marcos Mateu
