A visual development piece focused on atmosphere, storytelling, and clear visual hierarchy, built with presentation and first impression in mind.

Accepting commissions, let’s create something epic together!
Creative crossover spoiler lol!! Another delightful fanart, this time from this movie that I loved watching with my daughter, and since she loves the Smurfs, I found a way to add this...
Just sharing my fan art of Hollow knight with yahh

My work at PAX 2025 in Seattle! Created the banner and key art for Nuko by Loaded Deck Games. So cool to see it live at the event. And this customer feed?!! It's enough to warm anyone's heart...
Thanks for the photos and for trusting my work!

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
Sharing a WIP of an illustration I’m developing for a game coming soon to Steam.
My specialty is making capsule and promo art that really stands out in the store and connects with players.

Just uploaded a new piece to my portfolio for Nuko, a unique apocalyptic bluffing game about building bunkers.
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.

In this case, we had already agreed on the color palette beforehand, so I just showed you a preview of the base colors and moved on to polishing...

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.
Upon receiving the brief, I create a moodboard with references sent by the client and collected by me. This is a four-handed effort, and I align this information and a rough production schedule with the client.

Steam capsule art workflow in four hands!
Hello, indie game developer community.
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.
Check the game: store.steampowered.com/app/3810120/...

Final artwork ready! Watch my "assistant" hard at work lol
(Not sure if she’s helping with the composition… or just keeping my lumbar support in check)

Posting a follow-up on a Steam capsule illustration I shared recently — now in the polishing phase.
Included the whole process this time: sketch thumbs → color comp → current WIP.
Let me know what you think!
