About Pencil Castle
Pencil Castle Pictures is a 2D and 3D animation, illustration and graphic design studio based in Athens, Greece.
The studio is founded by the animator and illustrator Elpida Panourgia in January 2016.
The Philosophy
In Pencil Castle Pictures, the foundation for the creation of images, whether those are rendered in 2D or 3D form, is the pencil.
We believe that behind every successful image and its meaning, there is a great pencil drawing sketch, in which all the experimentation and the excitement of every project take place. This pencil drawing is the solid foundation of the final rendered result on screen or on paper. With the use of the pencil, in Pencil Castle Pictures we build the most beautiful castle. The castle of the imagination.
Style and Content of our Work
Pencil Castle Pictures is a creative studio that specializes in Cartoon style animation and illustration. Our work’s intended audience is children or adults alike. We do not do fully realistic animation or adult content animation.
We welcome every imaginative idea that will fire-up our imagination and our pencils, in order to create exciting cartoony worlds. Our 3d animation is also cartoon style driven, and we use toon shading in order to create the desired cartoon look.
As far as a fully realistic 3D animation project is concerned, Pencil Castle can contribute as external partner to your production, in order to create storyboards, character designs and concepts for your project.
