Summary

NO AI & NO NFTs!
Character designer and concept artist currently located in Valencia, Spain. I really like drawing creatures and monsters the most.

Recently worked as a Freelance concept artist for "Alike Studio" making "Tamagotchi Adventure Kingdom"(Bandai Namco) among other games, while simultaneously working on a new IP with "Us Kids".
I also worked for "NetEase" in "Harry Potter: Magic Awakened". (Portkey Games)

I Love to keep on taking challenges and new projects. I always welcome being contacted for something new to work on and get out into the world. In my free hours right now I am collaborating in a Pilot episode for a 2D animated show with a group of talented people, hoping one day it can grow into a full series.
