Illustration Process


Winter Spirit

I wanted to depict a winter spirit and struggled to decide whether to place the figure alone in the forest at night or within a richer setting. Since I love storytelling, I ultimately chose sketch number 3. During the coloring phase, I made some changes, including adjusting the ghost’s face to turn toward the imminent danger—the zombie in the foreground.


Nosfecat

This is a remake of a drawing I originally created back in 2019, and I’m also showing you the original. Wanting to tell a richer story, I reworked the image while keeping the main action—the little mouse hiding behind the pint of beer. However, I enhanced the environment by adding more details and context. I love intricate details, so I tried to include as many as possible to help bring the story to life. Recently, this piece was selected for publication in Volume 13 of Infected by ART.


Chosen of Mask

Private commission for a Dungeons & Dragons player who wanted his OC portrayed. I started with several sketches, selecting the most suitable one before moving on to the detailing and coloring phase. During the coloring process, I made some creative decisions, adjusting, removing, or replacing certain elements to better enhance the final composition.


Crystal Shard

Since I was a child, I have always loved Dungeons & Dragons, especially the Forgotten Realms campaign settings. This is my first fan art themed around Drizzt Do'Urden, inspired by the design of the illustrator I have always admired, Todd Lockwood


XIV

This is the character design for one of the 'classes' in the tabletop RPG Sensum, which is currently in development by a private creator and me with plans to launch on Kickstarter in December 2025. The project is public and not under NDA, allowing me to share the creation process, including the initial concept I started from.


About me

I’m an Italian fantasy illustrator and concept artist based in Rome.Since childhood, I have been passionate about role-playing games, live-action role-playing (LARP), and trading card games like Magic: The Gathering and Mutant Chronicles. When I first started playing tabletop RPGs, I dreamed of becoming one of the illustrators behind those game manuals. My goal is to inspire new generations with my art, evoking the same emotions I felt when reading those books.I am a self-taught digital painter. However, life took me on a different path—I had to prioritize my family and found work as a safety coordinator on construction sites. Despite this, I never abandoned my dream. With perseverance and the unwavering support of my wife, I managed to collaborate on several projects in my free time.I grew up immersed in the worlds of Forgotten Realms, Tolkien, Asimov, Stephen King, Lovecraft, Andrzej Sapkowski, Frank Herbert, Robert E. Howard, and Michael Moorcock. I have a deep love for medieval history, fantasy, sci-fi, dark fantasy, and horror. Beyond illustration, I’m also passionate about tabletop RPGs, LARP, and prop crafting.
