I'm Ian Barreto, illustrator and designer working for IP-driven projects - collectibles, animation, games, web3. I'm looking for long-term works providing illustration, character design, creative and visual direction for projects. If that works for you: contact@ianbarreto.com

I’m feeling personally attacked

Mia's turnaround made for @0n1Force. For character design and illustration, I'm available for work!

It happened. Had to tell the client in the middle of the call that I can't have screen sharing on Discord because of the amazing and incredible government here 💀

Mech head. Started on sketchbook, ended in Photoshop. - I'm available for character design and illustration for IP projects/games/animation/web3, just send an DM or email to contact@ianbarreto.com

Entrei pra agência de mkt de um professor meu da faculdade, iria trabalhar junto com meus amigos também, então o local já seria familiar. Quase todos os clientes da agência eram de uma mesma família, que brigaram entre si e quebraram. Fiquei UMA semana lá. Pouco depois a agência quebrou também (lembro da social media saindo chorando da reuniao de RH, ela tinha sido contratada junto comigo).

UAV drone made for recon, rescue, military and maintenance. My personal goal is testing my skills at integrating 3D into my 2D workflow while trying out something Metal Gear like.

Front and back views for the UAV

baby wake up, there's a new Toru Nakayama art in the feed

Adding details at the bottom. Added a anti gravity disk underneath (lazy excuse to justify its hovering)

Finished the first sheet of the drone, now I'll do some more views and details.

Maximum respect to @ChefDL3 and @MartyDevin for bringing SAN to life, and to @cromagnus and @trueIMCMPLX for shaping the visuals of this incredible project. Many other people who helped build it also deserve a shout-out. Long live SAN, happy anniversary!

Getting there

Robot arm jumpscare

Mech doodle

We need more art like this for IPs. - Zero's scale is totally off compared to the scorpion mecha. - There's no background. Fuck backgrounds, let's just see the action! - Zero doesn't have two swords. But who cares. - It's just for the sake of coolness. Look at the movement, the fluid lines, striking colors. Toru Nakayama, GOAT. (warning: if you say that, your client will complain about the points mentioned above 🤡)

WIP - Utility/Recon Drone Finished color blocking, next step is adding some texturing and values; fine tuning details like bolts, decals, wires.
