A little about me... | Um pouco sobre mim...
Hi, I'm Matilde, a concept artist and game developer from Lisbon. Ever since I was little, I've loved drawing characters, mythical creatures and epic environments. I love to read fantasy and fictional stories, playing and making video games. I'm a 2000's kid, so obviously my childhood was spent watching VHS of Shrek, Harry Potter and Beauty and the Beast.
I'm also team Slytherin!
I'm a very versatile person and I'm always looking for new challenges.
Olá, eu sou a Matilde, uma concept artist e game developer de Lisboa. Desde pequena que adoro desenhar personagens, criaturas míticas e ambientes épicos. Adoro ler histórias de fantasia e ficção, jogar e fazer videojogos. Sou uma criança dos anos 2000, por isso, obviamente, a minha infância foi passada a ver cassetes do Shrek, Harry Potter e A Bela e o Monstro. Também sou team Slytherin!
Sou uma pessoa muito versátil e estou sempre à procura de novos desafios.
