Born in Cavite City, Philippines, he would then move to Los Angeles, California and begin his animation work in 1995. He first worked at Games Animation for the series The Ren & Stimpy Show as a freelance storyboard artist for one episode, "Big Flakes". He would then work on animated series like Rugrats, Rocket Power, Invader Zim, The Grim Adventures of Billy & Mandy, Kim Possible, Drawn Together, American Dragon: Jake Long, The Mighty B!, and Phineas and Ferb. In 2004, he worked as a story artist at 20th Century Fox Animation for the 2006 film, Ice Age: The Meltdown. In 2007, he would continue his position as story artist by working at DreamWorks Animation on some of their notable and successful projects like the first two Kung Fu Panda films, How to Train Your Dragon and its TV shows, Megamind and The Croods. In 2006, he self-published his first book titled Random Anomalies, a collection of editorial-style cartoons dealing with the subject of fate and synchronicity. Honoring his art heroes, he followed Random Anomalies with the science fiction themed art book The Wayward Traveller: Snapshots from Alternate Worlds. In The Wayward Traveller he cites such artists as Jean Giraud (Moebius), Syd Mead, and Katsuhiro Otomo as strong influences in his work. As a follow-up to The Wayward Traveller he released Alternating Currents in the summer of 2008, featuring an all new line up of science fiction illustrations. Staying in sci-fi genre, del Carmen released his first self-published comic book in 2007 called Steel Noodles: A Slice of Heaven featuring an orange-haired, waif warrior named Val. The short, independently printed book served as a preview to a much larger story which he has developed into a multi-part graphic novel, starting with Steel Noodles Number 1 which debuted at San Diego Comic-Con in July 2010.

Del Carmen also has two brothers that work in animation; Ronnie is a story artist, designer, illustrator and film director at Pixar, while Rick (Enrique) works as a storyboard artist and assistant director at 20th Century Animation.
