This one is from 2021. Northway Games was selecting 100 artists to make very different cards for their game “I was a teenager exocolonist” and I got one for myself. š This card is named “Sym’s Curiosity III”.
More about the game can be found at www.exocolonist.com.
This is a very much brazillian joke.
In Brazil, culturally, we tend to pray for āour Ladyā (Nossa senhora) as in Jesus mother, Mary. This āour ladyā normally comes with a place where there is some history about the Holy Mary, as in where people claim she appeared, or where a small statue of her appeared (this was the case of a city called āAparecidaā, which translates directly to āappearedā, I kid you not), so the whole saying goes āOur Lady of Aparecidaā or āOur Lady of Guadalupeā. You know the drill.
Then when we pray, the praying goes like āOur Lady of Aparecida, give me hopeā, for example.
That said, there’s this ongoing joke where we pray for āOur lady of the tinniest bike, give me equilibriumā and āOur lady of the eletric Shower, give me resistenceā.
The thing is: the resistor that goes on a shower head, here in Brazil is called āresistĆŖnciaā, which is the same word for āresistenceā.
See?
This is a personal art. She’s my DnD character from a very long running campaign with my friends.
This is a commission I did for a friend. It’s her DnD character, a Druid Eladrin.
A Persona 5 fanart. The game has this amazing black and white, heavly contrasted style in lineart. I love it. So I gave my try. š
When I was studying this clean lines style, I watched Netflixās Jessica Jones on the background. So this is some sort of tribute: I really like the character. Havenāt read the comics, tho.
Not sure what this is, I was in the mood to draw a dragon, I guess? And this is one of my studies for this colored-linework style. I really enjoy it.
I did a Twitter pool for this one. Asked my followers for Dungeons and Dragons race and class, and they voted for an Elf Rogue. Should do this again, was pretty fun to create!
Persona 5 is one of the few games I really enjoy, and thereās romance options. This is my favorite shipp – the Protagonist Joker, and Queen. š
Did this fanart of the gameĀ Zelda Breath of the Wild. I really love this game!
Chess Lore Series
I did this series back in 2021. I had this idea of how to give some personality to all the Chess pieces, according to what they do in the game. It was a fun exercise.
The Bishop
Heās a mischievous man, full of secrets and dogmas. Can be seen walking on the shadows of the castle, conspiring against the Kingās enemies.
The King
Heās a good king. His realm loves and protects him, wishing him a long life; which he had.
The Knight
Has been knighted very young, and following his King is all he knows. Is a wise and seasoned rider and fighter, stomping over his enemies for his kingdom.
The Pawn
Heās a simple worker. But this is an united kingdom, and every able fighter is required when war comes. The young pawn will fight proudly for his king.
The Queen
Some say the kingās longevity is her doing. If the kingdom is in distress, this is the one person the enemies should fear.
The Rook
The kingās strongest and last resort. This man is like a wall, and is willing to give his life for his king.
I did the sketches for the whole set together, so I could have some coherence to their sizes. This is the first draft.
Some refining.
refining.
more refining.
It took me a while to come up with the design for the borders. My first attempt was to make some art nouveau styled, but Ididn’t think it matched. Ended up deciding to go Art Deco, with more straight lines, at the end.
Saint Seya, revisited
āSaint Seyaā was a really popular anime back in the 90ās in Brazil. I was a huge fan! This here is a āreimaginedā version I did of the main cast, and published originally on Instagram. I did a small text for each one of them explaining how they would be nowadays, together with the illustrations. It was hal the fun!
ShiryuĀ of the Dragon is the most serious and polite of all Athenaās saints. I picture him always very well dressed, in skinny suits and narrow ties. I always hated those bangs, I mean, he never cuts is hair, but donāt touch my bangs? So, in my vision, heād have long full hair, just with a small part tied up to avoid falling in his face. In my mind, heās bi, and demi.
Shun, of Andromeda. 100% hipster. 120% magical boy. Would wear hyped, on brand clothes, and always a smile on his face. Is a volunteer in a NGO that rescues street kittens and finds home for them to be happy and loved. That June, who was supposed to be his āāāgirlfriendāāā would be his BFF, going with him shopping. Would remain the same Shun that despises violence, crazy ass dangerous gal if someone important to him is in danger. Has a huge crush on Hyoga.
Hiyoga, of the Swan, comes from Siberia. I though heād use thhose montain outfits, that we find on Decathlon, made for extreme cold weather. With an Elsa vibe (the cold never bother me anyway), heād even use apropriated clothes, but not really, cuz, I mean, itās Hiyoga. He wouldnāt care much about his appearence, so the long hair and beard would come up and he wouldnāt notice. Man of few words and skin ruined by the weather, looks a lot older then he really is. Hiyoga is Ace, and has mommy issues.
Ikki, of the Phoenix. The troublemaker. Machoman, rude, agressive, dirty mouth. HArdly smiles, unless is of his enemies despair. I think heād use sportwear, mostly, oversized and comfortable ā and fuck it color harmony, those are my favorite pants, Iāll wear it with whatever I want. Started doing an undercut in his hair, until it escalated to a mowhawk ā that he cultivates mostly to annoy people. Ikki is so stright you can use him as a ruler, but fortunatelly not toxic: heās kinda bad but loves very much his lil brother, respects women and carries drunk friends home, for safety.
Seya, of Pegasus. The tomboy, always smiling and doing dad jokes, kinda like boys from Rio de Janeiro. Wears whatever is on sale, but doesnāt go very far from shorts and t-shirts. Heās so slicky that when they faced the 12 zodiac houses, he defeated a couple of them just by talking. Straight haircut (thereās no mullet on my alternative universe) and hangloose, he thinkās heās so fly, but heās justā¦ not.
Saori Kiddo, Athena Goddess. Sheās a really rich and spoiled child. Sheād be one of those really cool imigrants living in London, vegan, wearing Dr. Martensā boots and second handed clothes (of expensive brands). Usually seen in oversized coats that could fit at least three of her inside (donāt ask me, I think itās some kind of tendency, all the asiatic girls I see around are wearing it) and hurry walking holding her golden/champagne smartphone in her impecably manicurated hands. In spite of her bored looks and bossying around, deep down has a really good heart. Sheās straight, but would give anything not to be and get over her crush on Seya.
