My Bio
I learned alone to draw.
I began drawing fanart, then I did some comics and entered in some local contests.
Now I'm working in a book and in an original comic.
I usually do Original art, but also do some fanart.
I have an Original Series, Orium Caspium. It's like a twisted Fairy tales but with mythological characters. I'm writing a book based on the series. Some news on 2014 or 2015.

Concerning AI

I've been noticing an increase of art theft in the later years, so I'm reducing the number of art posted in any on-line gallery each year. Regarding the dawn of AI, I'm almost forced to pull out some of my original designs, even characters who are based on public domain counterparts. AI can use and steal your ideas. As the example shown, I have Gabriel, based on a character from 3 different myths or religions My depiction of him is based on the traditional design, but there some physical traits that are my own signature, such as the wings or the marks he was born with, which are part of his story. Like your family photos (yes new AI programs can make use of them, even if you tagged the No AI use feature), this material has to be protected, so I'm making, for the internet, only postcards.

In the last year, I've been pressed to change the way I draw. I'm a self-taught, so in most of my years I've been learning things from here and there. It was good to meet some actual local artists, who told me how to fix some of my mistakes and do what people wanted. One of the things I was pushed was to draw free-hand (thing I couldn't do without pencil and paper and most of my traditional work had a dirty, ugly finish). I took a small course of ceramics and I learn a little more about art teaching (In fact I learned art with an actual designer for the first time) and so, even it was a little too basic for me and took around a few weeks, I

Gallery Cleanup
