I am very happy to announce that my senior project, titled “Candied Magic” is complete! This has been a eight month long project (not all of the art is included here), all development for an animated TV series!

“Candied Magic” is a re-telling of the fairy tale “Hansel and Gretel” set in the golden age of Mexico. 

Hermosa and Gabriel are both orphans who run away together and find themselves at a candy shop called the Candy Cauldron after following a strange blue creature. They discover that the shop, the candy, and the shop runners are anything but normal.

Ginger, a candy witch, creates unique candy which give temporary powers to the person who eats it, providing practical and entertaining uses. Sugarbones is her sugar skeleton assistant, and Caramela is an alebrijie who has a habit of eating Ginger’s sweets.

Of course, nothing about Ginger or Sugarbones is cookie-cutter, and the young orphans find themselves on a few fantastic adventures learning more about the witch and her companion. 

This has been such an amazing project and I hope to someday turn it into a real TV or a webseries. It was amazing to see people’s reactions at the gallery opening, and even more amazing to share the experience with @oakydeer who was a MAJOR part of this project. I hope to continue with this project and showcase the fun story and culture!

All of this, art/story/ect, IS filed for copywrite, so please don’t think about taking any of this as I will be able to take legal action. Sad that I have to point this out but, yay, internet.
