In the Making
Welcome to my indie studio, Tania Rosas Designs! This page is the most honest look at what I'm actively working on, what's live, and what's next. Things move fast (or sometimes very slowly!), so this is where you'll find the latest status on my creative experiments, tools, and tutorials.
Everything Ella: The Animated Series
Status: In Development
Step into a world of magical realism, joyful slapstick, and embraces of life's charming imperfections! Everything Ella is an independent 2D animated series currently being brought to life right here in the studio, from character designs and story beats to original music.
I am currently working on a short video to introduce you to Everything Ella, sharing my motivations, its world, heart, and characters this far.
Until then, explore the series ideas, art style, and world concepts on the main project page.
Studio Projects & Experiments
Music & Sound Exploration
Status: Exploration
Can an indie creator own 100% of their series? After Experiment 1 with sound design, I’m now playing with Waveform and plug-in instruments to compose original music for Everything Ella.
Storytelling & Creator Tools
Status: Research & Development
I am immersed in storytelling books and learning its fundamentals. My learnings will be turned into a practical tool in the Creator's Toolbox for you to practice.
Visual Communication Series
Status: In Development
Developing a new series to practice Visual Communication. We'll translate written prompts from the Creative Idea Generator into visual art.
Character Breakdown Tutorial
Status: In Development
Putting together a step-by-step Pikachu tutorial (sparked by a viewer request!) to demonstrate how to deconstruct, draw any iconic character and nail proportions.
The Shape Challenge (Creative Character Series)
Status: Ongoing
A continuous studio project where I take your comments across YouTube and Discord, bringing them to life through my art.
Live & Ready
Is zero budget animation foley feasible?

Are you stuck in the Perfectionist Trap? 🎨 I’m sharing why I traded "pretty" for "appeal" and how it changed my character designs.
