PORTFOLIO
The first and foremost project that I have ever worked on was writing and creating a complete universe of 6 books. Want to know how I created this universe?

- Creation of fantastic maps from "0" to "EPIC"
- Creation of complete stories, places, legends

- Expert in detailed storytelling about worlds and their eras

The process of how I Worldbuild
I created this map for the Hologram series books. The work that I usually do, is; creating new strange names, depicting cities, oceans, placing natural zones, and having imaginative and crazy places to explore. I also design the main layout. This helps me to ensure that the world has plenty of life, and then I begin to write each zone separatly.
After all have been set down, the process of hiring an artist begins. From this point on, I guide the artist so he or she can portrait everything from my initial vision. This is the final custom map that I got from a map artist.
Once I have the place, I like to draw a quick (but sometimes slow) sketch so I can know better how is the place of the story that i´m going to write about. This is an old sketch that I made in the Hologram Books, for a place called: Exocry
If you are looking for a writer with extremely detailed creation capabilities like the worlds of:
J.K Rowling, George R. R. Martin, H.P. Lovecraft, Frank Herbet, or J. R. R. Tolkien.
Then I am your writer. I invite you to get to know my Worldbuilding work in Hologram State, an extremely detailed world for children and teenagers.
CHARACTERS
I am an expert in creating detailed and fully complex characters. The image you are looking at are two characters belonging to the world of Hologram State. The skills that I have for character development are the following:
- Expert in creating hundreds of strange, funny, catchy and epic names and surnames
- Expert in complex character development (unique personality, one-liners, psychology, spirituality, emotions and backstory)
- Specialized in detailed and imaginative descriptions for each character
- Specialized in the complete development of each character with their own personalized journey (fill, arcs, climax, unraveling and new balance)
Example excerpts from Hologram Saga: Book 1, 2 and 4
The process of how I Develop full complex Characters
This is a picture of the process I use to write complex characters and develop their personalities. In order to write them, what I do first, is to draw the place where they live, their daily life, and the people they live with. This allows me to imagine how the character acts. In this image, we are observing Filtaus' workshop. Filtaus is a lonely magical blacksmith, whose only company are the Rumons.
This is the house of the main characters. Initially I drew it only in its interiors. However as the books went on I began detailing the exterior of the house. Eventually I hired a conceptual artist to give it life to the entire house.
If you are looking for a writer capable of guide others, create fun characters, with emotions, psychology, values and agendas of their own. I can help you create character profiles and stories for your universe so you can bring them to life.
FantasY and
SCI-FI writing
I have developed as a writter in the field of storytelling for children, thanks to my studies in Film and storytelling. The work of Hologram State is the greatest work I have done and where I highlight each of my skills as a writer. The skills that I´ve developed for storytelling and narrative are the following:
- Expert in storytelling for children
- Expert in fantasy, sci-fi and horror storytelling for children
- Expert in the creation of magic systems, technology and government systems.
- Specialist in neologisms and complex narrative (lore, plotwists, backstories, secret agendas)
- Specialist in dialogue and scene description
- Expert in development of family trees and timelines
- Specialist in the development of card games and board games independent of the Hologram book series, and/or in the Hologram book series
Example excerpts from Hologram Saga: Books 3 and 4
The process of how I Lore and create compelling Stories
This is an example of how I was filling the world of Hologram State books. This is a picture of a shopping mall known as Megatek. First I made a simple sketch of the store, this helped me to have a map of where the different stories that would be told in the book will take place. Thanks to this, I can have a better picture of how the story and stories are going to develop over time.
My specialty is storytelling for children and young adults, so if you are looking for a writer who can provide you with captivating dialogues, scenes and funny narrations, then I can be your writer for your animation project, movie or series.
Here is a final example of how I write. You can download my entire first 4 chapters for free with more than 100 pages to read.
