Mario Barraza

None of my work uses artificial intelligence. While many artists embrace AI, and some even depend on it, I keep it natural and organic. My art's focal point is creating characters with a touch of realism. Some of my biggest influences are Caravaggio, Japanese Manga/Anime, Comics, Fantasy, Science Fiction, Terry W. Ervin II, JRR Tolkien, and CS Lewis. I have collaborated with startup companies, the film industry, and various independent authors and experts. I have also freelanced for many years in the competitive advertising industry in New York City. My expertise as an animator (for instance), allows me to create a whole video game from scratch to the very end of production, doing it all on my own.
