Illustration & Concept
Xisto
This project is still ongoing.
As a lover of video games I've always wanted to play a game that would allow me focus on building a home with no limits on my creativity. I never found a game that would fullfill me in such way so I wrote it myself.
Xisto is a concept for a video game that I have been working on since 2017. It's inspired by the Xisto villages of Portugal, which remind me very deeply of my childhood.
The game is all about building a home and connecting with the villagers. The building component of the game expands past contructing a home, as the player can also design and craft all sort of items. The crafts can include woodworking, pottery, painting, stiching, gardening, cooking and so much more. With these crafts the player can choose to decorate their home or make a bussiness out of them.
Aella & Sphrogs
Aella is a human hunter. She fights using a magical woden arrow and arrows formed from the souls of souls of insects. Aella communicates with the realm of the dead and summons the souls of the insects that have been killed by her enemies. These bugs are usually angry and will happily help Aella defeat her opponents.
Sphrogs or Sphroggies are an unique species of tailless amphibians with a sponge like body. When they feel threatened, they will flee into the nearest puddle and turn invisible as they soak it up.
Fuffy Bunny
Fuzzy Bunny is about three characters that represent different aspects of my own life.
We have Bean, an orange cat who represents my own insecurities and my journey through self love and self care.
Nori is bean's brother in this world. He represents nostalgia and a younger me, with his edgy looks and awkward personality.
Last but not least we have Mochi, the best friend. She is everything I love about the people that surround me. She too has insecurities but she is the most confident of the three, and fabulous too!
O Voo do Moscardo
"O Voo do Moscardo" translates to "The Flight of the Fly". It's a story written by my father about a memory from his childhood. I chose to illustrate this story for one of my Illustation degree's classes in 2017-2018.
