Biography
Hi! I tell stories. That's what I do and I am passionate about.
My name is Amaya, but I'm commonly known as Stelladia. I'm a Spanish storyboard artist and character designer for animation, with a parallel career as artist and colorist for comics. I feel both disciplines are deeply connected, and comics allow me to explore each part of production in visual storytelling. I also design and produce my own brand of illustrated merchandishing. Basically, I create characters, environments and find the best way to tell a story. I've been doing this for the last decade. Some of my past work on the comic industry includes coloring and drawing for publishers such as Disney Hyperion (Heartless Prince), Titan Publishing (Horizon Zero Dawn: Liberation #4), Vault Comics (Colossi, Submerged, Cult Classics), ComiXology Originals (Teenage Wasteland) or drawing the comic series POTIONS, Inc. for Mad Cave, along with many short stories on multiple anthologies, like the Ringo Award nominated Maybe Someday (Story: Ghost in the Apartment). On the animation side, I've worked providing storyboards, color scripts, coloring, clean up and concept for studios like Nucco Brain, ltd, Dragonbee Animation and Flickerpix. I'm particularly proud of the work I did as lead storyboard artist for the animated short film Johanne, which you can watch on youtube!
