My illustrator career started at a very young age, when I was commissioned to create book covers for a series of Star Trek books by an Italian publisher.
During the past 15 years, I have created hundreds of dazzling fantasy artworks and illustrations for all the major publishers in the United States. Amongst my clients you can find Lucas Arts, Marvel, DC, Penguin Books and many more. Occasionally, I have also worked for videogame companies as background and texture artist and also 3d animator. My style is very flexible, varying from ultra realistic to anime.
I have participated in several art shows both in Italy and the United States. My work can be seen on many book covers, often on news stands on magazine covers, comics books (Exalted, Hulk, Warlands, Street Fighter), trading card games (ShadowFist, Call of Cthulhu, WAR, World of Warcraft, A Game of Thrones CCG).
I live in central Florida (USA).

Creepy looking. Looks like a mix between something "real" and a comic book. (Rob)

Here some info on how I did this piece: The first step was to blend some old metal textures togheter. Then I sketched the character on an empty layer, using a 50% opacity 5 pixel wide brush. Once I was happy with the shape and outline, I merged the texture and sketch layer togheter. At this point I started working the light into the drawing. After sketching the darker areas with a 20% opacity large brush, I mostly used with the dodge and burn tools (magic!). The dodge tool set on highlights is my favorite method to add highlights. After that was done, I went and worked all the small details with the smudge tool, set at 50% opacity and using brushes ranging from 1 to 5 pixel wide. As a last step, I added some color variations here and there (using both the color balance and paintbrush set on color tools), so to give accents to the image. The image was created completely on photoshop with just a stinky little mouse... yeah.. you heard me right.. I haven't got a graphic tablet yet :( If you want some more details on how I did this pic, email me.
