Hello!

I’m Jorge Monlongo, a senior artist and art director specializing in atmospheric backgrounds, environments, and key art. My work is driven by a strong sense of color, lighting, and composition, with a particular focus on creating images that establish the mood and visual identity of a project.

My work spans animation, video games, and comics. In animation, I have worked as a concept artist and environment designer on Barracuda’s Treasure (Hampa) and Decorado, the new film by Alberto Vázquez (Uniko). In games, I was Art Director and Environment Designer at Brainwash Gang, where I was largely responsible for the visual development of Laika: Aged Through Blood. I have also created key art for Ball X Pit (Devolver Digital), Friends vs Friends (Raw Fury), and Crimson Hollow.

As a character designer, I have collaborated on projects for the Finnish studio Pikkukala, including Royals Next Door and Taste Buddies. My comics work includes adaptations of Adventure Time and Over the Garden Wall for BOOM! Studios, and Rick & Morty for Oni Press.

I work primarily in Clip Studio Paint and Photoshop. My strongest areas are drawing, composition, lighting, and color, and I enjoy adapting my visual approach to the needs of each project. My experience as an art director has also taught me how to identify visual problems quickly and find practical solutions within the strengths and capabilities of an art team.

I’m currently looking for exciting projects in animation and video games, particularly opportunities involving key art, background and environment design, and visual development.

Thanks for taking the time to explore my portfolio. If you’re interested in working together, I’d love to hear from you.
