"O Biógrafo"

I´ve made a couple of illustrations for a contest promoting new literature authors here in Portugal.

Only the 5 most voted will be published.
Some of you may not understand Portuguese, but for those who can I ask you to read it and if you like it please vote!
If you can´t but still you want to help me get my cover selected and published, well I´d consider it a personal favor, and in that case thank you so much in advance, haha

Optimus Test

2011-04-08T16:15:00.005+01:00

I was asked to do an Illustration Test for an Optimus campaign...but at the time i didn´t have the time, so I didn´t and it was made by another illustrator. After i was done with the job that kept me from doing this, I figured I should give it a try and send it anyway. I did receive good feedback, that i think influenced the fact that I get another illustration request for them later, but this particular pic was not used.
By the way, the official campaign was made by the amazing Mario Belém.

Advocatus Magazine 4/ WHO

2010-09-25T18:02:00.004+01:00

For this drawing I was asked to do something related with partnership marketing. I proposed several ideas which you can see below, On them I tried to portray a team of businessman colaborating to achieve the same goal, as a team. I clearly liked the tennis one more, luckyly for me they choosed that one...the thing is that it was a bit late so I had to rush things (a lot) on the final piece...and that sucked...but I digged the idea so I´m posting this.

The early sketches:

Briefing - Communicate to the city / new forms of self-promotion by lawyers.

In the final one it was changed to a woman, but I prefer this one.

Below you can see some of the sketches to get to this. I really liked the "robot" one, pitty I couldn´t use it....maybe some other time

Rough sketches and ideas (digital)

Advocatus magazine 2/ WHO

The Briefing for this illustration was a text about a rumor that circulated in the social networks in which the BCP would be at risk of bankruptcy and how a mere virtual rumor had an impact on reality.
Having said that, in the illustration I tried to show a representation of a building of bcp crumbling. With it is also falling down the president of Millennium bcp, Carlos Santos Ferreira. Also tried to represent the transition from rumor (through social networks) to reality , witch in the illustration is made literally.I also tried to give the idea that is Carlos Ferreira himself, who is confronted with this image when accessing his facebook profile.

The briefing for this illustration was:
At the time of recruitment, the final graduation grade remainsimportant, but the psychological component of graduatesis increasingly valued. What firms ( of lawyers) want to know nowadays is thecandidates hobbies, what has he done throughout academic life, how does he spend hisleisure time, if he speaks english...

So I´ve drwn a bunch of candidates all practicing some stuff other that the actual presentation...Not sure if I explained this right but hope you get the idea.
Here´s the early sketch and final lines below:

A mil à hora!

2010-06-11T02:48:00.003+01:00

Got Inspired by the new Nike ad

The title is from a phrase Mourinho said about the chances of Portugal in the World Cup: "not even with Ronaldo at 1000kms per hour speed" so I called this "at 1000 kms per hour"

Oldies but Goodies III - Sleepin By The Window

2010-04-03T09:53:00.007+01:00

I go to work by train every day , and every day I see the same people with their "here I go to work again" face, but every day, at he same place, in the same position I see this two girls...sleeping by the train window,
and this is really funnie, the way I allways see them there...what can I say...its an inspiring picture and it got me inspired to do this.
Not the professional final touch here but I did this for fun so I just tried some lines and colors not too much time on this.
