F.A.Q

Did you study at an art institution?

No, I took only a brief general art class in high school for a year, everything else was self-taught. I do have a B.A in Graphic Design, and took several classes or workshops about business, marketing, and/or communities. Recently I have been learning Blender for animation and 3D stuff.

What is your actual job?

I work as a freelance illustrator for video game and animation industries as a concept artist and visual development artist. I work remotely from Puerto Rico, and I’m also an entrepreneur who works with small and independent businesses and has an official store.

As an artist and designer, I use many programs for different mediums, such as:

I use basic tools and materials accessible in regular stores that are great affordable but also good quality, such as:

  • Mechanical pencils 0.5.
  • Virtuoso Fine Brushes.
  • Fineline Masquin Fluid Pen.
  • Nail glitter and decorations.
  • Arteza 60 Watercolors tubes.

  • Rumberas Candela Page to be part of the community and have all the links accessible.
  • Rumberas Merch to buy your favorite Tutti Frutti merch like stickers, prints, and keychains.

Would like to hire you/collaborate with you?

It depends on the purpose and subject(s), right now I’m working on so many things remotely on several projects, collaborating with professionals, and creating interviews.

What are you up to now?

Besides working on my YT channel and both personal brands (@cafr3sita and @rumberascandela) I’m working as a concept artist for ambitious fan projects such as Rayman 2 Remake with New Dawn Games and Jak and Daxter 4 with Fallen Legacy Games.
