Elianai Santos, better known as eliz0r, discovered his passion for art as a child, inspired by animated TV series and anime from the ’80s, ’90s, and ’00s. Influenced heavily by mangaka Akira Toriyama, creator of Dragon Ball, he found his love for storytelling through illustration.
His other lifelong passion has been video games, from classics by Capcom, Nintendo, SEGA, Square Enix, and SNK, to modern titles. Combining these two passions, he realized his ultimate dream: to create art for video games.
After graduating with a degree in Graphic Design from PUCPR in 2012, Elianai began his professional journey as a character designer for animated TV series. In 2018, he founded Luminee Studio, his own illustration and design studio, and became an independent artist.
Today, he provides illustration and graphic design services for game studios, specializing in character design, concept art, promotional art, and game graphics. He prioritizes “quality first” in everything he does, aiming to bring creativity, passion, and a unique vision to every project.
Elianai is also a devout Christian, seeking to live by his faith in all aspects of life. He values integrity, kindness, and using his talents to make a positive impact. Outside of work, he enjoys playing games, collecting artbooks, and drawing inspiration from his faith and daily life.
Some of his favorite games include Elden Ring, Bloodborne, Super Metroid, Monster Hunter, and Chrono Trigger. His favorite colors are yellow and purple, and he loves sharing his passions for gaming, design, and creativity with others.
Trust in the Lord with all your heart
and lean not on your own understanding;
in all your ways submit to Him,
and He will make your paths straight.
