Embarking on this project with Penguin Random House, the goal was to explore the emotional pain of the main character in "Más Allá de la Broma." My approach involved using digital brushes to craft a portrait of the boy, creatively expressing his shattered face as if fractured glass, symbolizing the profound impact of bullying. Aligned with Penguin's vision, the digitally created illustration strives to immerse readers in the emotional depth of the narrative.

Since 2016, I've thrived as a freelance illustrator, specializing in historical and fantasy portrait illustration, accumulating 8 years of invaluable experience. My portfolio includes collaborations with prestigious clients such as Penguin Random House, along with crafting compelling film posters for award-winning movies. Utilizing a blend of 3D techniques and digital brushes, I craft hyper-realistic and visually stunning scenes that bring fiction to life.

As a word man it's always been a bit of a challenge for me to communicate with those who think visually, but with Diego there was no problem. He was sensitive to my neurotic protection of the identity of the main character of my novel and turned my ramblings and intimations into a book cover that I can truly say I am proud of, and I hope he is too. I thank him for his patience and understanding...
