Mauricio H.

Cover Artist & Illustrator | Album, Book and Game Artwork I create distinctive cover artwork and illustrations for music, books, games, and independent creative projects, and much more. My work combines traditional drawing, digital painting, 3D composition, and architectural design. This multidisciplinary background allows me to create images with convincing environments, strong lighting, structural accuracy, and clear visual storytelling. I am particularly suited to projects that require more than technical execution. I can help research the subject, develop the visual direction, explore compositions, and carry the selected concept through to final production. SERVICES • Album and single cover artwork • Book covers and editorial illustration • Game key art and promotional artwork • Dark fantasy, historical, science-fiction, and atmospheric illustration • Character, creature, and environment artwork • 3D-assisted composition and paint-over • Typography and graphic integration • Print-ready files and adaptations for digital platforms My professional experience includes working as the lead illustrator for a US-based publication, creating artwork for musicians and independent creators, producing game-ready urban environments, and founding an independent sculpture studio that designed, manufactured, and shipped resin figures internationally. My architectural training shapes how I approach every image. I pay close attention to perspective, spatial relationships, materials, lighting, and composition, whether I am painting a scene, designing a character, or building an environment in 3D. I begin projects through research, reference gathering, and traditional sketching with the client before moving into digital or traditional production. I prefer to rely on my creativity rather than on AI Software: Photoshop, Illustrator, Blender, ZBrush, Substance Painter, InDesign, AutoCAD, SketchUp, Unity, Hammer Editor, TVPaint, and Lumion. Fluent in English and Spanish, with working knowledge of Portuguese. Send me your concept, references, required dimensions, and intended platforms. I can help you define a strong visual direction and determine the right production scope before we begin.
