Concept
This is a selection of projects where I tried to collect the various phases of the work flow (moodboard, thumbnails, sketches, shapes, etc.). I suggest to take a view also to my artstation page for more finished artworks.
Alien Lab
Personal project, born as an exercise. I used pre-existing assets of sci-fi panels and alien models. I aimed to create an atmosphere using ready-made assets, allowing me to focus on the mood and lighting I envisioned. The close-up, on the other hand, showcases what I modeled and textured myself in Blender.
The dark side of the Moon
The project is set in the year 2100, where a lunar base resides within a crater on the moon. The brief calls for the creation of a lunar base kitbash, two keyframes of exterior environments, and one interior. In this case, it was chosen to depict a passage in the corridor, differentiating between the exterior and interior through the use of distinct colors. The first image is the moodboard.
Distorted Reality
Project on mental health.
A theme that is very close to my heart, of which I tried to give my vision.
Sometimes, the overly frenetic world fails to notice a person's inner struggle.
However, each of us is aware that their "inner demon" is always present.
I focused on the character, his colors. Then I used pre-existing assets (buildings) for the final keyframe. The first image is the moodboard.
Scifi portal
Classic scifi portal. After the shapes process, I explored the ones I thought they work better. In the beginning I was thinking about some metal material, but then I decided for a more ancient look (inspired by Giger). The first image is the moodboard.
Character Design
Some character design made back then. I am sorry for the lack of turn around, I will update this section with new stuff as soon as possible.
Wizard Fox
Sea creatures
Humans
Various style

Props explorations and sketches of some on going projects.
Some sheets, like the gun and the plant ones, were made for art test.

About
Hello!I'm Michela, a concept artist with a background as a graphic designer.
I worked as a freelancer for more than 10 years in the field of graphic design and adv, actually I am taking first steps in the concept art world: from 2023 I collaborate with two italian indie game projects where I manage the design of props and environments in a sci-fi lowpoly and horror/historical realistic style. I also come up with 3D modeling and some basic UI (both games to be publish in the next year).I'm open to work. Feel free to contact me.
