Detrocboi booklet #2: Neighbourhood Of Infinity.
This time it won't be short comics but a whole story and some illustrations, hopefully out by the end of the year.
By the way, sorry for the prolonged absence of new posts on here, between the month in London and the load of work I got when I came back I really haven't the time to write much.

Hey!
I'm back from London, got back a little earlier than expected because I've a lot to do in here for the next couple of months.
I'll be working on new comics, one for a zine, one for a magazine and another one will be presented at an exhibition in September and will then appear on Detrocboi Booklet #2.
London was amazing, I had a great time, met new friends and talked with publishers, a really positive experience.
Expect some more updates, sketchbook scans and anything else in the coming days, right now I'm working on a schedule for all the things I gotta make. Talk soon.

Now
Hello, I just finished drawing Heroism Potion.
It still needs all the work of shading, lightning and the dialogues are still to be added, it should take a couple of days, I hope it's all done before Monday.
After that I'll make some illustration and in the meanwhile I'll be shaping up some new stories, I'm thinking about making a longer one, with a character I sketched up some days ago and with other crazy characters.
I can't show you anything about that, but I may be uploading some character sketches in the following days.

A quick update.
I'm finishing page three of the new comic, called Heroism Potion, it's going to be six pages in black and white, so far I'm really happy with how it's coming along.
The next pages have a one-on-one fight scene so they're a little tougher than the first ones, lots of dynamism and rubble floating around.
I'll post some sneak peeks soon.

Where Am I?
Here's a little update on how I'm going with comics and other stuff.
I'm not going as steady as I wished I was, after finishing Dream Fortress I wanted to take just a little breath, to recollect energy and make some considerations, review some flaws and try not to remake them in the new comic I'm working on.
Then I wanted to start some new illustrations as well, so I sketched some things more than I did while coloring Dream Fortress.
I'm planning to have 3 comics completed before mid-September, along with at least 4 new illustrations, it's gotta be hard so I'm trying to make the whole comic-making process a little faster.
The new comic is storyboarded and most of the pages are already drafted and ready to be developed; I hope I'll be done with full b/w pages early next week, wishing to have the full comic done by mid-August.
Here's a picture of how first page is coming along, I already tried some shortcuts for coloring on this page, I just gotta see it done to see if they really work as I hope they do, but until now they seem to work pretty well.
That's it, I'm back drawing now, I've got a splitting headache and other things on my mind. So it's like working in a trance, a strange one.
I'll be back next week for a couple of post of books, or artists, talk soon!

Update
Hello, I'm almost done with drawing the comic, I sat at the drawing desk days and nights and I think it's going to be complete these days, next week I'm starting to colour it and post every page once it is done.
In the meantime I'm also going to start some new illustrations and draft out something for upcoming new comics, I'm going to have at least four comics ready before September, plus new illustrations and stuff.
Stay tuned, more updates soon, ciao!

What's That?
Could it be the first page of the infamous comic I've been talking about for a while?
You betcha! I'm working on page two today; it's gonna be a six-pages story, I think I'm going to start coloring the first one tomorrow. I'm really excited about how it's coming along. Updates soon, ciao!

Remakes
Hello, these are tough days; we're all worried and saddened for the events occuring in Japan; I wish that Japanese people may recover fast from the tragedies that struck them, and that they will eventually rise stronger than before.
And let us hope that what's happening now will be a trigger to stop using nuclear energy as much as possible.
I'm preparing for Bologna's international book fair; I'm going to bring a portfolio with as much works as possible and exhibit a couple of works; I will meet international publishers so it's a great job opportunity.
I started drafts for a couple of illustrations, wishing to complete it by early next week.
Here's the almost done line drawing for the remake of an older drawing, the one popping out of all the pens in the photo.
It's more a redesign, rather than a simple remake; I wanted to update the character with symbols and elements I'm using lately, making it a little more psychedelic and somehow jodorowski-esque.
Then, big news, I'm almost ready to start a small comic, nothing more than 4 or 8 sheets, with a weird, surreal story. I'm setting the highlights in these days.
That's it, now I'll be drawing a little more.
Talk soon, ciao!

Start Of Year
Hey, hope 2011 has begun in a great way.
I spent the last days shaking off all of the holidays big meals and celebrations; now I'm ready to start!
I just got a couple of books' shipments, one from Japan and one from Amazon.
The Japanese one is a bunch of artbooks: Redline Illustrations, which I haven't looked much yet because I want to see the movie first as soon as a translation pops out, then Shining Force III Artbook with LOTS of cool designs and ideas for characters, Elemental Gearbolt World Guidance it's a visual collection from a weird gunpoint game for PSX, set in a cyber fantasy world, the majority of the design is done by an interesting artist called Hitoshi Yoneda.
The last artbook is a collection of design from Front Mission's first episode, characters by Yoshitaka Amano and mechas by Kow Yokoyama (I bought it especially for Yokoyama's mech buildups).
There were some doujinshis too in the box, three of them by Atsuji Yamamoto, one of my favorite manga artists, a couple from his Arnis series and one with miscellaneous short comics and two volumes of the collective doujinshi Thinking Battalion with really great "hey look how early 90's Japanese fantasy we look like" characters.
The box from Amazon had three novels inside: Breakfast Of Champions by Kurt Vonnegut, Empire Of The Sun by J.G. Ballard and Thomas Pynchon's V.
I recently read some Vonnegut's novels and fell in love with them, so I'm curious to read more, I love his blend of science fiction, social criticism and anti-war themes; but I'll start off reading Ballard's Empire Of The Sun because I looked for it for quite some time and I'm impatient.
I'll keep Pynchon at the end; I'm a bit stressed right now and his novels require a huge load of attention.
Well, I guess that's all for now, I made a lot of sketches for places and new drawings, but since I'm going to be busy for the next days for work matters I guess there won't be any progress with the illustrations, as soon as I got something worth showing from ZZZ I'll post here for sure.
Talk soon, ciao!

N.5
Just wow! Sadly this is just a commercial for N.5 E-book, but how would you feel about a Studio 4°C movie on N.5 eh? That would be the biggest animated movie of the 21st Century!
Taiyo Matsumoto is one of my favorite Japanese comic artists, he is hugely imaginative and I love his blend of manga and French comics influence.

N.5 is without doubt his coolest work, I also love Tekkon Kinkreet but N.5 has a whole incredible world, filled with strange characters and places!
I wish I could sometimes manage to give a Matsumoto feel to my drawings, but I'm usually too "precise" to reproduce a roughness like his!
