Hey #PortfolioDay!

I'm Mateus, an artist from Brazil who likes to paint spooky and eerie things. I'm open to work on book covers, album covers, spot illustrations, and whatever else my style would fit.

Cursing Olivia, painted in CSP using Wes Gardner's brushes in July '22. Honestly I'm happier with the mockup title font I designed than the illustration itself but it's worth reposting now with alt text for the spooky season.

#art, #horror, #skeletons, #bookcovers

A digital painting depicting a skeleton in a bridal gown and veil, holding a bouquet of white roses in one hand and extending her other bony hand in invitation toward the viewer. She is ghastly gray on one side, and lit by a mysterious blood-red light on the other. A mockup title, drawn in an old-school pulp paperback horror font, reads "Cursing Olivia" across the bottom of the image. The background is a black void.

Made one of my cats as a tabaxi 🗡️ #tabaxi #anthro #ttrpg #dnd

Digital painting showing a character design of a tabaxi based on one of my cats. She's a white/grey cat and is wearing a rogue armor, a poisoned knife and a short sword. There's a treasure chest and an oil lamp on her right side. The background is blank.

QRP with your book covers 📖

Portrait of a pale girl with red hair and blue eyes. An undead woodpecker is draped over the left side of her face.

Portrait of a boy in school uniform. Scratches are covering his face, as if a clawed creature had torn through paper. Through the tears grow thorny vines and roses.

A boy drowning in thorny vines with soft pink blossoms. Vines cover his eyes.

A small island with a small village surrounded by dead fish and a dead sea. Above a starry night sky.

Quick study of a painting by Caravaggio. The main goal was to solidify my process, but I also took the opportunity to try out the new Procreate brushes

Hey hey, I'm getting ready to send out some art updates to
ADs and am updating my (potential) client list. If any of you want to get occasional emails with new art and availability info from me--let me know!
I do my own research, but you might not be on my radar (yet) 👻

Illustrated portrait of a red-haired girl looking at the viewer. A half-decayed woopeckr covers the left side of her face, wing stretched out. Her gaze is intense.

A surreal illustration of a boy haunting a house, filling it with his entire body. He's reaching out to his mother, a smaller figure crying outside. The mood is dreamy and melancholic.

Illustrated portrait of a boy in school uniform with blond wavy hair. Scratches tear over his face as if through paper. Throuch the tears thorny vines and roses grow.

Illuststration inspired by the fairytale 'Beauty and the Beast'. In the silhouette of the author we can see scenes of the story--a castle and blooming roses, Belle and the beast at the dinner table, Belle crying over the Beast's body and finally their wedding.

Northern Star

Digital painting depicting a male character with long curved horns like a ram's. His face is surrounded by his wavy, dark brown hair. He has an intense, stern, and determined expression, looking up to a bright star at the top. He is surrounded by a soft, oval rainbow-like halo, on a purple background.

Hello, everyone!
HELP! my PC is essentially being held hostage to keep me at my parents house, as I'm planning to move.
I need a PC for draw.
Due to the urgent need for a new PC, I'm ready to take on complex commissions worth 300$ or more.
I would also appreciate your support.

Some drawing practice on Procreate

I’m not as good at line work on the iPad as with regular nondisplay tablets, but I’m trying to fix that

It's been a while but I finally have a window for a commission or two. Big or small or everything in between.
Shoot me a PM for enquiries.
And for UK based folks: Thought Bubble is coming in a couple of months so I could deliver pieces during the con.

And the last of the newly coloured Blood Meridian pieces, "He Never Sleeps"
