Hype!!!

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.

Gorio Granfalloon

Gorio's a bodyguard for the Palace mobsters' boss and sort of Helios' nemesis.
This is his common appearance, his alien race's power allows him to mutate shape in certain cases.

The surname comes from Vonnegut's Cat Cradle, Granfalloon is a group of people who unite for a meaningless purpose.

I wanted to create a mix of elegant and strange clothing, he's supposed to be a weird character and I think his clothing reflects it. Went a little rougher for this one.

Witchcraft Trial, Bitter Blood At Coalstone Cliff

The blood in the orb will tell if she's a witch or not.

Had this one in the drawer for maybe more than a year; so I decided to adjust and complete it before starting to do anything else. Maybe I rushed a little bit, I'm not entirely happy with the results, although I really like the redhead's clothing. I think it may be resurrected once again in a while, maybe work a whole different way through it.

Helios Creed

Here's a design development drawing for the protagonist in my upcoming science fiction comic.

Helios is part of a group of private agents, working borderline cases that cross the boundary between reality and supernatural events.

The name comes from Chrome's genius guitar player, the next bunch of comics have lots of homages to bands I like and are a constant soundtrack, and inspiration, when I draw.

Virtua Mondo

Since she got great success here's a full figure drawing of Virtua Mondo, double crossing spy.

I retouched as little as I could from the first sketch I made of her; my first inspiration came from Roni Fugate from P.K. Dick's The Three Stigmata Of Palmer Eldritch.
I had fun designing her clothes; I drew inspirations from modern clothing, Star Wars, a little bit from Jojo's Bizarre Adventures and added some subtle ethnic elements.

So now she's definitely in the comic. =)

Some sketches

Here are some sketches of characters for my new sci-fi comic, since I don't know if they'll make their way to the comic I'm posting them here.
The first one on the left is a villain inspired by Kirby's ones he has no name so I'm calling him Kirbo.
The curly girl is Virtua Mondo, I like her a lot thus she may be redesigned a little bit and make it as a double crossing agent and a love interest for the main character.
Last one is some sort of warlock/counsellor for the enemy mob.

I'll start working on a new short comic these days, it's a story that's been sitting in my drawer for a while and I want to pick it up before focusing on the sci-fi comic, so updates soon.
Stay tuned!

First page off Heroism Potion, a short black and white comic made last summer.

I'm working on a new comic for an upcoming magazine so I'm pretty busy with it. It's a sci-fi story set in a more futuristic ZZZ age. I'm pretty excited about it since it's going to be my first longer comic.
As soon as I can find some more spare time I'll be making some new illustrations that have been floating in my mind for a while.
Stay tuned!

Hey, sorry for the prolonged absence of updates.
I'm really busy with commission work and other stuff lately, so I really haven't much time to draw anything else. I should be this busy for two more weeks, then I hope I'll be able to resume drawing and everything else.
 In the meantime you can check my comics in the Detrocboi booklet and in the brand new Lodaçal Comix 5.


Talk soon.

R.I.P. Moebius

So, the most important and influent artist in my life is gone.

I always thought of him as an immortal, not just because of his incredible works, but also for being driven by his passion so much that I’d believe he would live, and draw, forever.
I feel like I lost a very close person, I’m struck by this loss.

Goodbye Moebius, thanks for all you’ve done and all you’ve created. We’ll miss you.

Crawling Crystal

Here's the Pipgibo comic I already told about. I wanted to make an experiment and try drawing a short comic, with as less dialogues as possible, and here it is.
I made it in a couple of days, just to get rid of some stress.

Cheerio.
