Hi everyone! It’s been a while since I last posted here, I’m so happy to see this community back in action!

I’d love to take this chance to share one of my latest portfolio pieces.

TITAN – Atlas Conduit

In 2012, humanity colonized and terraformed Saturn's moon, Titan, unlocking the potential of a revolutionary liquid gas, Methyrios, far more precious than petroleum.
Synthesized from Titan’s abundant methane reserves, Methyrios is the ultimate fuel - driving interstellar voyages, transforming everyday life, and empowering advanced military technologies. Massive industrial complexes like the Atlas Conduit act as crucial logistical arteries, with the powerful Helios cargo trains transporting refined Methyrios.


After recent attempts to steal portions of this highly valuable gas by rebel groups from the Titan colonies, these operations are now heavily "protected" by the United Earth Coalition’s (UEC) elite military forces, ensuring the security of Titan’s most precious asset.

"When Dinosaurs Ruled the Earth"

Hey, I'm jumping into the contest at the last minute (hope it's not too late).

In this scenario, something went very wrong – some researchers opened a time portal in the wrong era.

I set up the entire scene in Blender, modeling some elements and using various assets from Sketchfab and Quixel Mixer. The dinosaurs were sculpted in ZBrush, with final image touch-ups done in Photoshop.

I wish I had more free personal time to dedicate to this contest, especially for some photobashing and detailing on the final image to polish the texture of the dinosaurs and add more storytelling details to the room.

I hope you like it!

Swamp - Magic the Gathering

Hi everybody! I'm truly proud to share one of the first lands I painted for Magic: The Gathering. This was a significant achievement for me, considering I've been playing MtG since I was 10 years old.

Mood Concept Art #1 - The Lord of the Rings : Return to Moria

Here are some mood concept art pieces created for The Lord of the Rings™: Return to Moria™. This marked my first significant experience as a concept artist in the video game industry, and it was fun to illustrate and delve deeper into the mines of Moria.

WH40K First Founding - Gorgon's Forge

This Artwork was one of the firsts big-client commission I got back in 2020. It was a real pleasure for me to illustrate a legendary and unprecedented location like Gorgon's Forge.

I used a mix of techniques, including 3D for the rough base, and, of course, painting.

Tales From The Black Shore - Concept Design Practice 

Tales from the Black Shore is a personal IP that I developed in my free time to practice my concept design skills.
I also had fun stepping out of my comfort zone to develop the logo, which I believe is an important part of adding believability to the project.
I hope to be able to create and share more concept art about this project in the future.

Onryo - Concept Art Practice

Hi! I'm thrilled to begin sharing some artwork in this new Art-Safe space during these challenging times.

With this work, I wanted to step completely outside of my comfort zone and experiment with a cyberpunk setting, trying to push the quality of the key art further. As I like to do, I imagined it as video game concept art, even trying to fake it with a logo.
In my mind, Onryo is just a group of hackers who have occupied an abandoned corporate apartment to set up their main base, of course, to fight corporations.

I am obviously inspired by Cyberpunk 2077, and I can't stop playing Phantom Liberty.
