Abel Castillo Castells

Character Designer at Ankama Studio

Roubaix, France

Summary

Hi! I'm Abel Castillo, though most people call me Jaguare.

I spent my childhood in the Mediterranean, where I learned a lot about nature and life. Since I was young, I’ve spent countless hours playing video games on PlayStation 1 and 2, but the most significant game for me has always been World of Warcraft (6 years of playtime! O.o). That’s why I decided to study video game design, and after experimenting with programming for two years, I chose to pursue art, as it felt more flexible and dynamic.

Currently, I’m working in the north of France at Ankama on Wakfu, Dofus, and Waven.

Now, it's all about work... though I wouldn’t call it "work"—it’s more like a passion than an obligation. ^.^
