\"Ricardo<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

How and when did you start your career?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

My first professional work was in 2008 when I illustrated a book for Cambridge University Press, called The Mind Map. It was the first professional work I was able to include in my portfolio although I had spent a lot of time drawing pieces for a selection of jobs before that. But that was the work that started to open doors for me in the world of illustration and concept art. After that I started to do other work with independent studios outside Spain and little by little it all started to come together. More recently I was lucky enough to go to England to work at Rare<\/a> and to be part of the team that developed Sea of Thieves<\/a> among others, until we formed the Brainbug Art Studio.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Are you a gamer, what kind?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

I play games from time to time to see what’s going on in the industry, I don’t consider myself a gamer now but when I was younger I was! I’ve never been too fond of online or multiplayer games<\/a>. I prefer games where you can play by yourself and have that experience molded for yourself and make your own decisions and face challenges. I never had a console at home although I did at friends’ houses! My parents bought me a computer when I was 14, I think, where I remember playing Evolva or Pool of Radiance<\/a>. My favorite games were arcade titles like King of Dragons, and later on Fallout<\/a>, Dead Space, The Witcher<\/a>, Sekiro, Remnant\u2026 etc.<\/p>\n\n\n\n


I’ve always been attracted by games with a fantastic component, horror, creatures and monsters, and I don’t like realistic war games like Call of Duty at all. ^^<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

What is your creative process when you are designing characters?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

I try that the story and personality of each character has a weight in their appearance, that’s why the briefing and information about their background<\/strong> is very important.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

A character living in a post-apocalyptic environment is undoubtedly a survivor,<\/strong> he has had bad days and has had to adapt to the terrain, probably his posture is somewhat hunched<\/strong> and he carries certain types of weapons<\/strong> made with pieces he has found, maybe he is missing some limbs<\/strong> or is covered with burns and scars\u2026 <\/p>\n\n\n\n

What does he do?<\/strong>
<\/strong>What does he do, does he collect scrap metal<\/strong> in a cart in which he hides a folding machine gun, does he have a small robot companion, all these features and components make the character more believable <\/strong>and it is worth investigating everything that surrounds him to make the design appealing and memorable.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
