I’m Percy, a queer Portuguese illustrator currently living in the UK with my partner and two cats!
I enjoy multiple areas of illustration, but storytelling and character design are my main focus – I believe the two are heavily intertwined. There’s a lot you can share about a character and their world through their design alone; you might find me putting a lot of thought into what kind of fabric they wear and whether they would buy the outfit I have designed for them. I love putting a lot of time and effort into who and why a character is a certain way.
With my final project, I came to learn that I am quite fond of item and weapon design as well as environment pieces as an extension of the character design that I can add lots of personal touches that maybe no one else will notice.
I love saturated colours and funky pallets overlaying the mundaneness of everyday life. It’s something that truly captivates me and what I have often made short comics about.
Concept work is important to me because, not only do I want people like me to see themselves represented in media, I want to create work that someone can look at and see just how much love, care, and attention went into it behind the scenes.
X-TRA is a concept art project for my own original characters. The plot follows three main alien royalty characters: Candy, Fitz, and Marina. Marina is the young queen of a planet thought to be deserted after a devastating war. For years she has kept Serenity’s forces at bay as a one-woman army until she is forced to recruit the help of Candy and Fitz.
The rest of my images are from different projects - see the captions for more info.
