    With years of experience as an illustrator and character and concept designer, I excel in developing high-level illustrations, concepts, and character designs for games, animation, and NFT projects. My role in pre-production involves close collaboration with both companies and individual clients, helping to bring their creative ideas to fruition. I have crafted both stylized and realistic concepts for games and movies, and have contributed to many children's book projects across a range of styles. My goal is to infuse each project with a distinct and memorable quality, ensuring it stands out in today’s competitive market. Specializing in character development, creature design, and generative art assets, I create engaging and unique assets for video games, animation, and NFT collections. My work spans realism, semi-realism, and cartoon styles, with a strong focus on storytelling. I am committed to providing high-quality artwork, backed by my refined artistic judgment, exceptional skills, and professional reliability. My objective is to exceed project goals, ensuring a successful and engaging outcome. I am passionate about taking on new and exciting projects. Please reach out to discuss your project ideas—I am excited to create something extraordinary with you. I may not be the right fit for all projects, though. Reasons we might not align include: ✘ Violation of fellow creators' copyrights with AI. ("Do to others what you would have them do to you") ✘ The project management often struggled to execute projects (I also look forward to results) ✘ Quality is compromised in favor of cost-cutting measures, neglecting artistic standards ✘ Lack of communication ("Communication works for those who work at it."-John Powell) ✘ Project scope is frequently expanded without fair compensation 🤝 Time is limited, and unfortunately, I can't take on all projects at once. Here's how I prioritize and what I look for in a new client: • Striving for the best • Ethical awareness and practices • Respecting artistic expertise • Long-term partnership • Appreciation & transparency • Clear communication • Humor Sounds like a fit? Here are the next steps: 1. Examine projects and portfolio pieces on my Upwork and see if my aesthetics meet your vision 2. Top right corner → • • • button → Send Message 3.

    I'm a pixel artist with +7 years of experience. I've worked on indie groups the whole time and with indie companies for 2 years. I mainly do props, animations and scenarios, but I have experience doing full art of games. I also have production knowledge. ~~ Working ~~ As positive, I love to have a long list of things to do, I organised myself better looking into all I have assigned. I work from 6.30 am to 2.30 pm, I always love to have the afternoon to play some games and relax, or maybe study or practice. I always tend to share everything I'm doing, even if I had some doubts with it because I believe in the teamwork to be able to reach a final result that looks awesome. I love pixel art, but my main style is realistic. I'm on a path of merging those two. Also love to animate, my main objective is to find the best natural flux to the moving. I spend a couple of years assisting english meetings, but I express myself better writting, even when I still don't domain the language as perfect as I wish. I'm also open to any kind of ideas, even if it's as crazy as they sounds. As negative, I may got trapped on a task and take some difficulties with it, that's when I usually ask for help to the team. I'm shy so I will be quite most of the meeting, maybe add some ideas to a brainstorming, but not too much. I may get anxious of reaching some dates, so I'll probably add more hours to the originals I work. ~~ About me ~~ I'm 30 years and I live in Spain. I love videogames, specially the ones that are a challenge, exploring games and simulations ones. I learnt to code in Godot using GDScript, and I'm also learning to code C# in Unity and play violin. I have a couple of dream games on planning and I wish to be able to create them someday.
