These are some of the images i sketched with the DS Lite and homebrew software COLORS!.

Mainly speed paintings and loose sketches (hence the sketchbook title) done mainly on the train,waiting in lines and even at home.

I’ll try to post some of the daily images i do more often here.

CSS Mario

Trying to make a old school Mario with Html and CSS with a simple hover animation.

Still a bit rough, sometimes it breaks when you change screen, or div, size. But it’s a work in progress, just for fun, so no pressure.

Will try to make the code better, add a nice background or even turn Mario into a Zombie :) Who knows!

Press the image link  above to see it.

LeiriaCon 2010 Rpg Poster Making Of

25th
Jan. × ’10

This illustration was made for LeiriaCon 2010 first Roleplaying Meeting, organized and comissioned by my good friend João Mariano.

We started with the idea or tagline “You are the game” as food for the brainstorm.

After some rough sketches and ideas, the idea of several players becoming their characters around the game table started to mature.

From that idea came the first rough sketch to flesh out the composition in relation to the final poster design, to create an interesting silhouette for the overall composition and for each character.
