TEXTO A DEFINIR
Este é um lugar onde você encontrará parte do trabalho narrativo e visual desenvolvido no projeto Hybrid Sketches. No final de 2021 comecei a registrar histórias, com ênfase em fantasia, ficção científica e weird fiction. Aqui você encontrará duas coisas:
Nos links abaixo você encontrará meu trabalho de narrativa visual, construção de mundos e vídeos. Está principalmente em inglês e adaptado para o Instagram.
No botão acima você encontrará alguns dos meus contos. Eles foram coletados ao longo de muitos anos (alguns começados há mais de 20 anos) e estão apenas em português.
This is a place where you will find some of the storytelling and visual work made on the Hybrid Sketches project. In late 2021 I started registering stories, with emphasis on fantasy, sci-fi and weird fiction. There are two things you will find here:

In 2024, AI video tools transformed how stories could be told. What began as static images evolved into moving narratives— Runway Gen-3, Kling AI, and others enabled cinematic experiments that brought characters and worlds to life in entirely new ways. The major universes grew significantly this year. The Hub expanded with Granska & Freddo's journey and the Commons mysteries. Phileas/Fae deepened with the Nightmare War aftermath and related short stories. New explorations emerged: Witches War, classic sci-fi tributes, and the surreal landscapes of Três Mundos. Video became more than a tool—it became a storytelling medium. This opened the way for stories like Webwoman and Subterrâneos in 2025 mixing illustrations, video vignettes and text. The boundaries between formats blurred, and the transmedia process found its rhythm. The cataloging system evolved too and we are now 566 stories and counting.
Tech note: Procreate with the iPen, guided photobashing and photomontage, creative upscaling, instant canvas and videobashing were the new techniques learned.

A curated selection of concept explorations from the year
Incluides: Rescue Mission, Pulp & Orb, Ancient Ones, and more
The foundation year. Driven by daily prompt challenges and visual experiments, the core universes took shape: The Hub's scattered colonies, Index Semesta's alien catalog, Phileas ventures beyond the Fae veil. This was the year of worldbuilding—creating the framework that would support everything that followed. It was also the BIG YEAR for AI Challenges. Although they began in 2022, there were so many to participate in during 2023 that it was hard to keep up. In fact, they became a dedicated section on their own. Additionally, as photorealism became more easily achievable (and the norm within the Midjourney community that year), my efforts in photorealistic portraits became a distinct section. It was not until 2024 that we had the major breakthroughs in AIVideo. However, as the year of 2023 neared its end, Runway and PikaLabs made their debut, causing quite a buzz. I dabbled a bit and made a few REELS that were quite a nice experience. They’ll appear in the gallery with the Exploprations below.
Tech note: Started Procreate/Capacitive pen and learning photobashing and editing. SD added ControlNet, Canvas functions (in and outpaint) and SDXL reached photorealism.

The year of prompt challenges—AI experiments, early Shadows, and visual worldbuilding foundations
Incluides: early experiments with shadows, different techniques in Hybrid Generation and Sketching .
Everything started, because that's how things are—they begin and they end—and this journey began when the world ended.
The pandemic and isolation led many to learn new things, others to reclaim old passions. I rediscovered my drawings— dormant for thirty years—and my writing, silent for twenty. A friend's encouragement was excuse enough and I began to draw again. Inktober '22 became the catalyst and I made a few prompt, the deadlines helped to motivate. My work had always been graphite and shadow. I decided to learn digital. I illustrated forgotten texts, discovered the early diffusion models that pulled me out of my habitual monochromy, and started to experiment.
Tech note: Scanned pencilart, Sketchbook/ Wacom Intuos, early GAN+CLIP and Diffusion models blurred things that took lots of coaxing, these where the tools.
#INKTOBER 2022
Descrição:
31 prompts, 31 days, 31 illustrations—where the journey began
Detalhes:
The original challenge that started everything
SKETCHBOOK #1
Descrição:
Early experiments, character studies, and the first steps into digital art
Detalhes:
Many recurring themes and ideas take their first, blurry, steps here
Im pretty much focused on posting mainly on Instagram and using the other sites as connections. Except for Artstation which I keep promissing I will one day organize as a portfolio of my drawing work. One day... maybe.
On artstation I focus more on my drawing work and in the Exobiology and Classic Scifi Illustration ideas. Techniques here are more conservative: digital drawing, digital painting and photo-bashing with Procreate.
* DeviantArt is much more abandoned these days. I usually am now just taking it s a place where my content that can not go up on instagram due to META extremely prude and inconsistent policies.
