Hello!

My name is Luís Moreira, and I am a Portuguese Illustrator, Cartoonist, Storyteller, and Concept Artist. One of the greatest sources of joy for me is sitting in front of a blank sheet of paper with a nib in my hand.

Despite a somewhat troubled childhood filled with difficulties focusing in school and making friends, I stumbled upon the brilliant work of cartoonist Bill Watterson. Through the pages of his comic collection "Calvin and Hobbes," I found a kindred spirit and a lifelong friend. From that moment on, I was determined to enchant others in the same way those books had enchanted me.

I pursued my passion by attending art school and earning my bachelor's degree in Technologies of Communication and Multimedia. During my academic journey, I delved into the world of 2D animation and gained knowledge in various fields, from photography to video production, design, and even coding (though I admit coding was not my favorite!).

I began my career at a web design company called Webcomum in Porto, Portugal. There, I worked on numerous illustrations, graphic design projects, and animation videos that showcased the company's methodology. My career then took me to an international company in Faro, Portugal, called Vitrinemedia, where I continued to hone my skills while also engaging with Spanish sales teams and working on photographic simulations.

During this time, away from home, I dedicated myself to mastering one of the essential skills needed to fulfill my dream of creating comics: drawing and inking illustrations. After a significant shift in the company, I made the decision to return home. However, I was later invited back to work remotely, continuing my corporate journey for another year before eventually leaving permanently.

After a year of focused study, during which I delved into storytelling and explored various illustration styles, I was offered a position with an American crypto company, Uphold. Here, I had the opportunity to develop the entire product illustration system for the company. Now, after five fulfilling years at Uphold, I find myself seeking a new challenge.

I believe I have discovered that challenge in the world of game art. It allows me to leverage my skills to their fullest extent while doing what I love most: drawing, painting, and storytelling. These are the activities that occupy most of my days whenever I have the time.
