Blue Hood

Here’s the hero I came up with for the Heróica Zine (did you know you can download it for free over athttp://ricardobessa.com/HEROICA-Zine? Go get it!). He’s inspired on the Iberian emerald lizard, which I tried to show mostly with the suit’s color scheme.

Being a part of this zine feels awesome. So many cool people. Seriously, go check it out. The art is great and there are so many cool ideas for heroes!‪ Read it, dig it, share it!

Classic Figures of Terror - Dorian Gray

I was invited to be a part of the Classic Figures of Terror exhibition, a traveling exhibition that features different interpretations, by many great portuguese illustrator, of classic figures of terror - from Dracula to Frankenstein's Monster to Cthulhu, you'll find many familiar faces there. I got the character Dorian Gray, and it was fun to figure out what to do while trying to maybe be different from the obvious interpretations of the character.
I was happy with how it came out, and people who visited the exhibition (which unveiled at 2015's edition of the horror movie festival moteLX) gave me some good feedback.
