So

Hey everybody, once again I'm really busy working on new illustrations and comics and got almost no time to update blogs and such.
I just finished a storyboard for a new short comic, I'm also writing a longer story and working on a couple of new illustrations.
In other news, Detrocboi booklets will be up for sale soon! Stay tuned for bigger updates, ciao!

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!

In Color

Found some time to start coloring the drawing, yay!

 

Guess it's time to buy a new camera, this one has one foot in the grave.

Next One

Hey, not much time to draw lately.

I'm feeling a little frustrated about it; I got lots of ideas to draw but time to do it just flies away; hope it'll be more in the next weeks.

Anyway, I got some pictures of the drawing I'm working on now.

 

I think this one is going to be crazy.

The gardener one was cool to draw but it wasn't much psychedelic so I have mixed feelings about it, hope this one gets to be a stunner.

Talk soon, ciao!

Gardening

So, good weather is finally back, to celebrate its arrival I drew a lush forest around Zeta Zero Zap's Royal Gardener.

I think the drawing may be ready around tomorrow or wednesday; I got some things to do before focusing on it exclusively.

Here is how it looks so far, my camera makes some color look overly fluorescent, kind of like it.

 

Have a great time, ciao!

What I'm Up To

Here's a little update about new works.

The remake is only one thing I'm working on right now; I started a new illustration a couple of days ago and I'm already coloring it. I hope I can complete it around Monday.

Here's a sneak peek:

Then, I'm readying everything for the short comics I talked about, I'm thinking about some general, fixed points to develop further.

Since I'm rather new at making comics, expect a quite long time before I can show anything.

For blog matters, I'll make some more artists' posts; next ones are about a Japanese and a British artist, curious? Keep following here and you'll find out who they are.

Ciao!

It's Ready

Hey, I finished the line drawing for a new illustration. I hope to start coloring it tomorrow, I want to complete this one and start a new one right after because I feel like I'm in a great mood for drawing.

Anyway, the story behind it will be published on the Flickr, if I decide to put it there once it's done. Sometimes I feel like I don't wanna put everything I do on Flickr; but since I cleaned it and removed lots of old stuff, it looks a little empty. 

Meh, I guess I'll think about a solution -a voice in my head says "draw more!" that would solve the problem-.

Enough fuss, here's the line drawing.

 

As you can see, the ducks are different than the one I posted some days ago, there are a couple of things to do in the background but it's pretty much ready. I want to make some more experiments with lightning in this one.

That's it, check these cool songs by shoegaze band Weekend, I love Monday Morning's haunty introduction.

Talk soon, ciao!

New Drawing Ahead

Hello.
I got some time to draw lately, so I started a new drawing, it's the one with the duck soldiers from the previous post; I just drew the maincharacter and I am now working on a portion of the background; I'll make a scan of it once I'm done with these parts.

I'm going to blog about another of my favorite artists sometime soon, tomorrow I think.

Talk soon, ciao!

Almost There

Hey, I found time to go on with the drawing; there isn't much to do before it's good to go for coloring; I just wanted to post a snippet of it, I thrown another character in it; it's a guardian Smokey, something like the Holy Smokes from another illustration, and he/she/it is supposed to save the young lady from the Cyclops' grasp, will he/she/it succeed in the perilous task?

 

I'm going to start coloring it as soon as I can, hope it will be done in a week or so. 

Today it's Chrome's Planet Strike time, enjoy! Talk soon, ciao!

New Steps

So, I found some time to proceed a little further with the new illo; not very much, but unfortunately things will be like this for some time.

I'm posting it, hoping I'll be able to show something more this week; I just gotta make the background then it's ready for the markers.

 

I'll try and start another one soon, I got an idea floating around my head and I want to fix it on paper as soon as I can.

And as usual, here is a link to a favorite song of mine, this time by Sun City Girls, enjoy!

New Illustration

So here's the almost completed line drawing for a new illustration; I just gotta figure out some things and then it's ready for the markers.
This one will have a background because I just got to start drawing them  without procrastinating or I'll make the whole series without them.

Talk soon, ciao!

Get Color

I finally found some time to complete the line drawing and start coloring this new illustration.
I gave it a quick scan just to show you some of the colors and a snippet of the mysterious other character appearing in the illustration; didn't adjust much of the scanned picture so the colors are not the real ones, my scanner is a little painful when it comes to color likeliness. It's an old one so I guess I may forgive it for that.
Anyway, I'm planning on finishing it all around the end of this week, still don't know if it'll be posted to Flickr right away.

Until next time, ciao!

Drawing In Progress

This new drawing is still untitled,right now it may look like a little malicious, but once it's done, you'll see why she's in that particular position. =)
I hope to be able to complete it soon, I'd like to end this year with at least five or six drawing for the series, maybe more if I work really hard on them.

Looks like things may start move faster now, with exhibitions and publications; I'm looking forward January because I'm going to Paris to visit Moebius' exhibition, I will be like a kid visiting Disneyland!

See you soon, ciao!
