The MewMew Café, a Maid Café from Natal, Rio Grande do Norte, requested a concept of a magical girl inspired by the owner's cat as the main character of the brand! After some iterations, the client requested a more generalist anime inspired aproach, with references to the mahou shoujo aesthetic for the café!

Contemplated project by the brazillian art incentive Lei Paulo Gustavo (Lei Complementar nº 195/2022) , Potiguara - Filha do Sol is a adventure mobile game developed by Gamemind Studio. As Mayara, a girl from a city who lost their memories for a evil corpotarion that erases the cultural heritage of the people to exploit and explore their lands, the player needs to seek aid of the "Encantados" (brazillian indigenous spiritual manifestations) to help the people and remember the importance of our ancestral history to bring down the corporation. Set on the city of Natal and based on the Potyguara's culture, specifically the Indigenous comunity of Katu, we needed to take much care with the representation of the rich and diverse local culture references on the style and art direction of the game. I was responsible for the Art Direction, Concept Art, Illustration and Character designs of the main characters and NPCs of this adventure.
