I’ve just updated my animation reel — which felt like a good chance to share a bit more about what I do.✨

The reel is a curated selection of projects I’ve worked on over the years, spanning original content, personal work and advertising for clients such as Lollapalooza, Nike, Mercedes, Google, etc. Acting in roles such as director, animator, and concept artist.

Some of these projects have been recognized with awards like: 🏆

- Cannes Film Festival 2012 in Design and Film Craft
- Gold award - Wave Festival 2014
- Shanghai Golden Lions Festival 2018 - Best Animation

A teaser poster for our first manga in the Roly Poly universe, in partnership with our community.

Excited to be drawing new chapters of this project that I'm so in love with, especially since it's a character we created with our fanbase. Thanks everyone! 🧡

[ROLY✶POLY @rolypolynfts]

Together with our core community, we brought to life this new character 👤 Soon we'll drop our Community Manga Vol. 1 📙

Enjoy the ride ✶

Sharing an album cover artwork I made for Cadu Tenorio, a Brazilian music artist/friend :) I love working with artists I admire and who trust me to experiment with unusual graphic solutions 🥰

Sharing some artwork I did for @NetflixBrasil back in 2018 to promote their 3% series 🌟

[Daniel Semanas @DanielSemanas]

THB is a comic series by the legendary artist (and good friend) Paul Pope (@PULPH0PE), also known as Comics Destroyer. 🧡

At the time, he was looking to adapt the comic into an animated series. I offered to help by creating an animated teaser. The jumping scene is still one of my favorite shots I've ever animated. Sadly, the project didn’t move forward, so the animation remained a rough sketch — but it’s still very special to me.

[ROLY✶POLY @rolypolynfts]

Visual experimentation is one of the most exciting parts of making a project.
Finding the right graphic language to match the story and concept ain't easy🎨✨

Daniel Semanas spent around 8 months shaping the ROLY✶POLY look:
sketching, tweaking proportions, testing colors.....

until it clicked 💫

This illustration is one of the first finished tests.

Back then, the lines were bolder, the perspective more exaggerated, and the vibe more cartoonish.

What do you think of this early version? 👀

@Cos0x Thank you bro 🙏😘🙌
