Cat In The Hat

As a Character Surfacing and Look Development Artist at Leo Sanchez Studio, I helped research and define the distinctive visual style of the characters for Warner Bros. Pictures Animation's first feature, translating Dr. Seuss's graphic, illustrative world into textures, shaders and materials.

I developed procedural, reusable materials in Substance Designer and Substance Painter that captured the stylised, slightly handmade feel of the designs while keeping them consistent and efficient to apply across characters.

Meet the Cat in the Hat you don't know! In the wonderfully whimsical tradition of Dr. Seuss, The Cat in the Hat comes to the big screen in his animated theatrical feature film debut, an all-new, epic adventure with an edge, where mischief, magic and mayhem reign supreme.

The Cat, voiced by Bill Hader, takes on his toughest assignment yet for the I.I.I.I. (Institute for the Institution of Imagination and Inspiration, LLC): to cheer up Gabby and Sebastian, a pair of siblings struggling with their move to a new town. Starring alongside Hader are Xochitl Gomez, Matt Berry, Quinta Brunson and Paula Pell.

Directed by Alessandro Carloni and Erica Rivinoja, The Cat in the Hat is Warner Bros. Pictures Animation's first full-length feature film, distributed worldwide by Warner Bros. Pictures.
