Hi #PortfolioDay!
I'm Ricardo, a Portuguese illustrator based in London. I've been working on all kinds of stuff, from YA covers to Magic: The Gathering, and I'm always looking for more ways to make the world gay and sunny.
My links will follow!

Hello! This has been a long time coming, but the shop is finally live! There's the usual prints and art books, as well as a bunch of MtG and D&D goodies (incl. APs, playmats and some much requested Bear Tokens!)

Hi! I don't use this much anymore, considering deleting at some point as many have. You can still find me elsewhere under the same name, including the other place!

I will be removing the PITHOS physical book from the store next week - so if you want one, grab it now (it's on sale) as it will be gone forever! 🔗 in reply.
I already use @clipstudiopaint in my process, but excited to learn MORE and use it BETTER 🙏

A total dream of a cover that I got to do - D&D + queer highschool romance? THAT'S A YES FROM ME
The cover of @mk_england’s upcoming rom-com, ROLL FOR LOVE, is one of the most beautiful covers I’ve ever seen.
They revealed it today and I just had to share. It’s out with @RP_Kids next year.
