Beto Campos


Beto Campos is a digital illustrator who works in a wide variety of fields, from advertising to concept art for movies and video games, and a wide variety of styles, from the overly exaggerated cartoon like image you see on the left to extremely detailed and realistic images. This illustrator, from Brazil, had his start studying and creating fine art pieces at the age of 12 and as a child prodigy had his first showing at the age of 14. This artist has amazed me time and time again with his ability to really get any idea across regardless of the medium or the style. He can work in any setting and add a lot of his own taste into the piece he is creating. This image on the left is one of my favorites of his work. I tend to prefer his cartoon style to his realistic concept or fine arts work. I find this piece particularly enjoyable because of its well developed sense of humor and its absurdity while still being a believable and respectable piece.

  2. I loved the style of the piece. I'm drawn to cartoons over a lot of other styles and this illustration stuck out to me in the blog posts of this week. I love the coloring and even though this piece is digital it has elements that make it look like it could have been produced traditionally as well. :) Good post.

  3. I'm picking this as one of my favorites for the week. This painting has some gorgeous textures and color going on in it, which really make the characters pop. It has a clear narrative to it that we recognize as Little Red Riding Hood, but the narrative seems to deviate from the story we know, which makes it interesting instead of typical. Everything appears to have motion within it, achieved by the clear line from the gun to the wolf and Red, by the animated poses of the characters, by the line of the hills behind them, by the bending of the wind-whipped trees and the tumbling leaves. Even the house in the background is given curves so as not to appear static. Very nice piece.
