Biography

Hello! I'm Rafa, currently 2D artist at Roarty Digital. I love doing BG and props, have previously worked on mobile games and animations too. I graduated in Design but not always thought of pursuing a career in arts and design, I first started a forestry degree but realized I wanted to really make things turn real with my hands. So any course or degree in animation, concept, illustration is hardly accessible or existent where I live, so I started my degree in Design. It wasn't what I expected but I kept to it because there's a lot in hand when it comes to graduation and self realization. Mid degree I started studying arts by myself and take it seriously, primarily from free content pm YouTube tutorials and classes. I got an internship as concept artist in games on a studio i currently work at. Then I started working as freelance for animation and learning from experience and shared knowledge from people in the industry, taking feedbacks and studying by myself. I could finally pay for some courses from art schools in Brazil and believe I am growing with my career and getting more confident at what I do.
