Hi, my name is Jessa Otero, a freelancer digital artist and also an entrepreneur providing value to specific communities. I love to document every protocol and provide the results to my audience for a better understanding of the creative world. I have never studied art in a prestigious institution nor been hired directly by AAA industries. Life has forced me to be on my own (entrepreneur) and do what I love while serving small communities of misunderstood and unmotivated creatives.
I’m a self-taught artist and 2d animator (still learning and practicing) in the video games and animation fields. Currently, freelancing remotely from Puerto Rico, an algarete island, as a concept artist with Fallen Legacy Games for Jak and Daxter 4 and an art director for Rayman 2 Remake with New Dawn Games.
I grew up stuck to the TV watching Disney movies and cartoons all day long while chewing my favorite cereal, surrounded by illustrated books scattered around my room, and playing Rayman on a bulky PC.
Besides journaling and posting my art, I have dedicated almost a decade to documenting important subjects and processes for artists alley, freelancers, and entrepreneurs in their professional journey such as merch reviews, business techniques, red flags, DIY projects, and more. My objective is to educate my audience with my experiences and journeys and let them experiment on their terms and curiosity. Nothing is linear and most certainly whatever works for me, won’t for others. I strive to be accurate and transparent with my writing when it comes to accessible education.
Rumberas Candela is an NSFW personal brand about a trio entity made of jello where I explore my asexuality, play wild with my creativity, and heal from an SA a few years ago.
Cafr3sita is a nostalgic character based on my childhood with a sassy attitude. I rant shit about my misadventures as a freelancer in the creative industry without sugar-coating stuff and inviting professionals for fun interviews.
Fun Fact: I love to make fun of eLitIsT ArTisT and be cOnTrOvErSiAl when choosing complex topics or creating drama as a hook method. It is actually my hidden talent. Also, I enjoy it when people talk shit behind me, it StRoKeS mY EgO real hard, and it does let me know that my haters still care about me :).

I don’t see myself essentially in the AAA industries, but rather in communities that share similar views, beliefs, traits, and values. It feels like home. If it happens, cool, but is not my main goal or success after so many rejections, and waste of time. I’m not in the creative field to work and follow orders, instead, I’m here to change or break something.
