I was rummaging through my folders and found some studies from a while back, and that made me want to do it again. I did, put them together with the old ones, and threw them away lol.

Just finished this art for Steam!
A surreal endless falling game where you dodge giant floating donuts and obstacles in the sky. Love mixing everyday elements with impossible scenarios! What do you think of this dreamy vibe? #DigitalArt #Steam #ConceptArt #BrazilianArtist #steam

Always exciting to bring concepts like this to life through illustration.

Hello Game Devs and enthusiast's and art fans!
Sharing a glimpse of my illustration process today.
I wanted to capture a strange balance: farm animals like a cow, bear, and pig in the foreground, a bunker standing before them, and in the distance… a nuclear explosion.

Another project finished!
I created the capsule artwork for Brain Pain Arena, soon to be released on Steam.
It was a fun experience to translate the game’s humor and chaotic energy into a colorful, eye-catching piece.

Remember that for each stage of this project, I shared it with the client, giving them complete freedom to choose, suggest changes, or concerns, only moving on to the next stage after their approval.
Last but not least, the capsule variations...
Thank you for reading this far.

Since we're talking about an illustration that will be used on Steam, it's always interesting to simulate some things related to future logo positions, so I'm offering some variations on the positioning of key elements like the character.

The next step would be to provide some sketches/thumbnails so the client can choose the best option based on their idea, game dynamics, etc.
Once the client has chosen one of them, we move on to the work line, where I correct likeness, perspective, and refine the composition.

Steam capsule art workflow in four hands!

This time, I'm posting something I believe will be of interest to anyone looking to hire me or even inspire others: my workflow, that is, what it would be like to work with me.

Just added a new piece to my portfolio — a cartoon-style promo illustration for Turning The Tide.
It’s a WWII game, but with charm, humor, and a vibrant style that makes it pop.
