BERTO BRAGAQUADRA

What if Spongebob was an autarchic toy made in in 1930s' Italy?

A weekend project on an idea I've been kicking around for years: 
what if Spongebob was an autarchic toy, made in Italy in the 1930?

With a style inspired by the Rubber Hose animation of the early cartoons like Disney's, I wanted to make Bragaquadra (italian for Squarepants) fit in the zeitgeist of those years - a toy for the balilla kids to play with.

Started as a 2D project during my university years, I rendered it years later with 3D Studio Max and Corona Render.​​​​​​​

Berto was also  featured on brilliant Magazine 3D Artist :)
