The Merfolk Lord Returns

Hello everybody!
Here I am, after so many months away.

And do not come with empty hands!
I bring you my new "piece of art"... a "remake" of the Ancient - and very, very Dear to Me - Lord of Atlantis [http://gatherer.wizards.com/pages/card/Details.aspx?multiverseid=405].

For those who do not know, Lord of Atlantis it is a character/card from the more famous Trading Card Game of this Planet: MAGIC The Gathering [http://www.wizards.com/Magic/Summoner/]

And well, I am a great fan of this game for years.
And one of my dearest kind of decks for sure, its the one of aquatic creatures ... more precisely: the Merfolks.

Moreover, the Lord of Atlantis not only its part of one of my favorite decks, but also was one of my very first cards - many years ago, when I was a little boy with only 11 years old ...

Well, enough of Blablabla XP
Here I present to you, my redesign of this valuable character:

And here I show you some of the making off ...

Hope you Enjoy it :)

Huggs, and C Ya

The Monstruous Monsters

Feeling in the Halloween mood, and getting ready to celebrate this day that is so special to me, I will share with you a project I´m developing:

Here, at first hand, some of my LittleGhoulyDoodlyMonsters.
I Hope you like them, and let´s enjoy this magical atmosphere that Samhain give us...

Its a Game or a Mirage?!

Recently I developed these concepts for a game.
The theme, as you can see, it would be a kind of "Egyptian Fantasy".

The main character that I create would be a kind of priest who is on a Divine Mission...
To assist him in his journey, he carries some special items: a Spear - blessed by the Gods; a Magic Handle - containing the powers of the Elements; and a Living-Golden-Crown whose design resembles a Egyptian Hawk...

Oh, and here are some of the sketches I made before...

Well, who knows waht the good winds from the Desert Sands can brig to us, huh?!?

I hope you enjoy it ;)

C ya!

Character Design to Education!

Hi Everyone!
Since I work a lot on the develop of Illustrations to e-learning - educative softwares - I thought that would be a little interesting to share with you some of my Characters Design in this media.
So, here it is some works that I did to CiaTech (http://www.ciatech.com.br).

This ones I create and develop by following an original and exquisite design style created by my friend - and partner on this project - Andre Zendron (http://azendron.blogspot.com/)

The briefing was a successful businesswoman and a intern in early career that wold taht would be part of the same company...This polygonal-cartoon style was really nice to explore, but I Still think we shoud have have used more "crazy colors" ;D

Now here is other Character Design that I create.

These characters I design for an Educational Game for CiaTeh.

The idea is that the game-story would develop during the period of a industrial-revolution-fantasy days. As inspiration to this design style, I thought about cartoons of the 70s and also the character styles of The Legend of Zelda: The Wind Waker :)

This work was really really Fun to be executable.

And here is some other character designs that I made for other projects...

I really love to create concepts of characters. Whenever possible, I try to explore different shapes, forms, ways and styles to express them - and sometimes, my ideas too ;)

Hope you Like it!

Soon I´ll post more character concepts.

Hugss to All.

Princess Just Wanna Have Fun!

Hey Everyone!
Anyone here has little sisters?
Well, I Have One, and I have to say that is not only really Fun, but was the inspiration for this work that I made some months ago...

In December of 2010, a magazine of kids and children  from Editora Abril, called Revista Recreio (http://recreionline.abril.com.br/), invited me to participate in the development of an illustration of one of the mini-games (a Game of 7 Errors) that the magazine will bring in February... and I accepted ;D

They gave me some freedom to create an image that was funny and childish. (And asked me to follow a style of design they have seen in my PortFolio...)
I thought a bit about what could be... and then came an idea inspired by a situation I ALWAYS saw - every night - when my stepfather tried to get my little sister to sleep (By the way, when she and her friends are together... Its an ENDLESS PARTY)

So I suggested a scene in which a King - in Desperation - tries to put his Seven Daughters to sleep, but hey ... Girls Just Want to Have Fun! ;D
And I send this sketch of my suggestion 

(Obs: the green areas, shows where would be the hidden 7 errors of the game) 

The magazine publishers really enjoyed. 

They made some extra suggestions, and based on them, I´ve made ​​some little modifications. Then, after final approval, I gave them this image. Ta-Daaaaaa

Had a great time doing with this work, and I Really want (and love) to do many more! I hope that this passage in the Revista Recreio has me open some doors for future works. 

Now here are some details that I really like this image:

The King, with his Expression of "HOLY CRAP!!"
The Little Mouse on the head of Cat... Huhuhu he looks like a Peanut Curious.
And last but not least, my little muse on this work: my Sister

Well, I know that I do not say to you this as much as I like, but:
I Love you very Much Olivia <:)

The BlackCat

VuoooSh!
OhMy!
Its been a Long time since a make my last post huh...
Well, but there is an explanation for everything... even for that!
After all, I was really busy with a FreeLance that I took.

It was a Project to a Research Center of Biomedicine... the Instituto Butantan (http://www.butantan.gov.br/home/) - in São Paulo.
But I talk about this in another time...

Today, I´m gonna Show you All a creation of mine - and a friend very close to me, called Alexandre Mercaldi.

This is KuroNeko (Black Cat).

Well, its not a very recent work but, since I want to restart this project, I believe that its a nice opportunity to share with you, the very first concept of this character.
Hope you enjoy it ;)
