Shugendo, a warriors path: Page 1 preview

Here's a preview of the first page from the first chapter of 'Shugendo, a warriors path' written by Kris Gardner.

Has been a while since the last time I've done the Anime/Manga style, but I find out that I can easily adapt me to it.

I'm also learning a lot about ninjas. It's a really cool project and I'm thankful to Kris that chose me to draw it.

I'll be uploading here some sketches and pages from time to time.

Greetings!

I just wanted to wish a Merry Christmas and Happy new year for you!

Anime/Manga style

I've been working in a few sketches for a new project in Anime/Manga style. The characters and the story are from Kris Gardner.
Hopefully I'll have more stuff related to upload soon.

New Gallery

I've added a new art gallery at my ComicSpace to show some sketches and different styles of artwork.

Hopefully, soon I'll have more material to put there.

Teamwork

I've been working hand-to-hand with the CableNube's members in order to create a 2-pages test for an editor these last days .

We made the short script and the layouts, then the sketches, the rendering and the inks.

Once all was done, we add to it some edition with Photoshop.

It took about 22 hours of work, and this was a great experience to work as a team.

This is the last page, you can see all the finished pages are at my comicspace: The Master Key

The story has some meaning for me but I believe it's open to the reader's interpretation.

About the style that I've used, I think it works good but just for short stories and illustrations. The main issue that I found is that it requieres a lot of time, with the same quantity of lines used in a panel I could have done one or more lineal pages (well, maybe a little exaggerated).

Anyway, it was something fun to do.

I've been drawing the last two pages in these days, so here they are, finally the story is complete.

Here's the fourth page of the short story. Fortunately I'm not in a rush with this comic, I'm taking almost two weeks for each page.

Anyway, I've found some anthologies that are going to be published, so I'll have to finish this before the final date for submissions.

Here's the third page completed. I've been experimenting a bit with these pages, trying to put some photos on the background, for example. So maybe these are not going to be the final versions.

I'm also uploading the pages at my Comicspace.

Here's the second finished page. The original version is without text, but I'll be working on some texts to do an alternate version, possibly for submissions.
