Alkimia Animation Studio

Alkimia Animation Studio is an independent Madrid-based production house focused on traditional frame-by-frame 2D animation. Founded in 2015, it combines Japanese anime influences with European comic styling to create character-led work for games, advertising, music, and audiovisual projects.

The studio works across the full animation lifecycle, from early storytelling and visual development through final compositing and delivery. Its pre-production work includes scripting, storyboards, animatics, character creation, model sheets, turnarounds, and style guides. Production capabilities span hand-drawn animation, clean-up, digital ink and paint, background art, 2D effects, and visual compositing, followed by editing, colour grading, and final audiovisual assembly.

Animation for games and campaigns

A significant part of Alkimia’s work supports game developers with 2D in-game cinematics, cutscenes, reveal trailers, Kickstarter videos, and promotional animation that can translate 3D or pixel-art assets into a distinct illustrated style. Its game credits include Creatures of Ava, Mika and the Witch’s Mountain, Starfinder: Afterlight, The Spell Brigade, Temtem: Swarm, Hotel Galactic, Wizard of Legend 2, Death or Treat, and Wonder Wars.

The studio also develops animated commercial and music-video work, including the anime-styled Pull&Bear campaign featuring Nicki Nicole and the 2D music video Enemigos for Aitana and Reik. Its commercial work has also included projects for BMW and Puma.
