Visual development_Portfolio 2024
I'm a junior Visual Development artist. I'm passionate about creating environments and characters that live memorable stories. How wonderful it is to materialize a whole new world from a simple thought of my mind.
The Four Kingdoms
The world is divided in different kingdoms, each one of them with it's own palace. This concept was born to explore how similar civilizations would live in different settings.
Some concepts for different palaces. One of which became the palace of the Kingdom of the Forest

Lily's fantastic bestiary
This personal project that I'm co-creating, talks about Lily, a little frog that is decided to catalogue all the creatures living in the enchanted forest. She sets off in a crazy adventure with her brother Buzz, ready to face the wonders (and dangers) of the world outside her village.

I wanted to give it a nostalgic and mysterious feeling, inspired by Over the Garden Wall style

Some creatures that Lily will find in her journey
The Summer Fair
The Summer Fair is a concept for a board game about a group of animals that have to hurry to finish their tasks and get everything ready for the celebration. With a cozy and cottagecore style, I took care of creating the art of this game which also shares an environmentalist message.

Nova is my original character. She is the daughter of the sky, a very curious girl that is amazed by the human world. Nova constantly sneaks out and comes down to the Earth to explore and live adventures.

Three old witches
An original concept inspired by events that occurred in my own life, Three Old Witches tells the story of a girl that ends up working in the second-hand shop of her town, which is run by three old ladies. Soon she discovers that the ladies are actually retired witches, who now try to help common people with their shop and live a peaceful life, which seems quite impossible with all the chaos that they create.

Each of the witches has its own personality, which I wanted to show in their character design. Maria is peaceful and cheerful, Manuela is lively and loves gossip, and Mariela has a young spirit and fears nothing. The three of them share one familiar, Richie, a wise Otter that tries to keep everything in order.
