  • The rise of the characters!

    After a big break due to some other works, i'm back at Golden ticket contest. Changed a little the composition from last time, felt that this way it would be more pleasant to read this image. In this stage I did a composition sketch digitally and then printed it to work in a more traditional way. With this printed I started to draw characters that will be present in the final image. I want to show a lot of people together just having fun and celebrating. The objective now is to add together the majority of characters and start adding color to this image. it's going to be hard, hope that I can still meet the deadline! Wish me luck!🍀

  • Inicial sketches and concept exploration

    I grew up in a big family, and in my grandma's house, there was always room for one more at the table, as they say. The only requirement was to eat, drink and have a good time, the rest didn't matter. The version of my personal oasis is a bit of that but in a bigger scale. It is a place where we can acept and recognize each other and look past our differences, a place where we can be together free of judgement, and boxes to fit into. It's a place where we aren't fighting with each other but instead working together in new adventures, new discoveries and new frontiers. A place that is close to nature and we take care of our planet, but at the same time with our eyes in the stars to reach new places and keep dreaming. That is my oasis. This inicial stage I started to form the ideia, the characters and and the overall mood. Started to do some rough thumbnails to work on a composition and then moved to a more polished version to start to work on some characters. There is still much work to be done, but for now, I'm having a blast imagining all kinds of people, creatures and beings to fill this table.
