About the process...

Hi there, I thought it'll be cool to show the process of one of the pages from 'Tiny Life left'.

First I receive Nick's scripts. They're different to what I'm used to work in comic books. They're like a text, divided only by paragraphs (which may contain a bunch of pages) and chapters.

My first task is to give comic book format to it, dividing the text in panels and pages, and then I start with little sketches for all the pages. For the first book every chapter had to be divided in 20 pages, but in left I have no limit for that, so there's more freedom to work on each scene.

With Nick's approbation on the sketches, I start drawing. When's ready, I scan the page and send it over to Nick. Then, he gives me comments, suggestions, corrections, or new ideas.

Whenever a change in the pencils is done, I usually take a picture of it and send it to Nick instead of scanning again the whole thing. Then, before sending a package of 10 pages to him, I correct some more details and changes.

For example, here we have Jed and Fred playing they're infiltrating an enemy alien spaceship. In the first try my interpretation of the script was this:



Then, Nick told me that he wanted to visually show their imaginations on the page, so a spacesuit to Fred was added, and laser pistols to both of them. This idea was insinuated in the script, specifying that the backgrounds change at some moments. But here the changes were on the characters, as happened in a previous page that I made them look like robots, but that wasn't specified and fortunately Nick was ok with that. In this case I decided to show these extra elements whenever something fantastic appears in the same panel:



Something else was needed for Jed, he still looked 'normal' holding only a pistol. The solution was this:









So, this is my pretty simple explanation of the process behind the pencils, basically this is the way we work together with Nick in every page. Most of the pages don't need so many changes as this one, only those pages where a new idea comes up or there are many specific things that Nick wants to show.

New sketches for Tiny Life

These are the new versions of the characters for the next book of Tiny Life. They're younger, and a bit more realistic in some aspects.

The full body views were the firsts attempts, then the faces are the more defined versions.

I've been dividing the new script in pages lately and I think I'll be starting with story boards for the pages pretty soon.

Drawing...

I've been drawing this illustration just for fun, during a recent meeting of Cablenube's members. The plan is to create an original script to work on it as a team, which is already advanced in the firsts stages of development.
A new blog for Cablenube is being developed, in the meantime feel free to check some of the already uploaded artwork:

Comic book: Angels & Demons

Here's an image from one of the characters in my story "Angels & Demons". I got this project aside at the moment, but as soon as can I'll be sketching all the pages and re-writing the script.

The story is about the internal struggle of a man in his way towards knowing himself, and in the search of his truth.

Comic books: Scripts status - Part 2

'The messenger' all the pages of 4 of the total 7 issues are already sketched by The EX3 Project team.

'America' right now the script is being developed by Rodrigo Mavica.

'Code: Humans' (image) it has all 4 issues sketched and now I'm deeply in the process of developing the characters designs.

Comic book: Code: Humans

Here's the first sketch for the main character of 'Code: Humans'. For now it's a short 4-issues mini-series, and thus far 2 issues are completely written and with their own story boards.

The story tells about a futuristic and decayed humanity, who suffers an alien attack leaving just a few humans alive on earth.

That's for now, I won't be revealing a lot until the work is more advanced, but I can tell that this isn't a typical 'alien invasion story'.

'Code: Humans' is being developed solely by Nicolás Colacitti.

Comic book: The Messenger

Here's a new design for the face of the main character in 'The Messenger'. However, it's possible that this won't be the final design. The story is set in the 1920's, and this man is in his search of a new beginning after his dark past in the Great War. He's now a private investigator, and the story is about his first great case.

The story involves mystery, horror, beliefs, and lots of symbols. We want the reader to take part and interact with the story to try to solve what's happening.

Let's remember that this story is the first that I do in group with the co-creator Rodrigo Mavica. The group is called The EX3 Project, and that blog will be updated soon.

Comic book script: Story boards

Here's a quick show of the first rough story boards for 'The Messenger #1'.
As you can see, the level of detail is minimum and for now it just has the utility of being a reference for the later sketches. These story boards give me a clearer view of the script, and also give me the chance to apply changes if something could be better represented.
Soon I'll be up loading more story boards and a few characters sketches.
As 'The Messenger' is being developed by Rodrigo Mavica and me under 'The EX3 Project' please also take a look into the group's blog.

Comic books: Scripts status - Part 1

At the moment NC Comics is working on a few own projects. All titles are tentative to change for now.

They are:

'The messenger' which is done with the participation of Rodrigo Mavica (The EX3 project team). The entire script is almost done, now in the process of sketching all the pages.

'America' which is also done by the The EX3 project team. At the moment the story is being defined, in its firsts steps.

'Code: Humans' which is for now entirely being made by Nicolás Colacitti. It's on his very first steps. Just concepts and ideas for now.

More information will come as soon as new material is produced. Thanks.

Music - Part 1

I've been working with a bass guitar and music software in order to bring to life a few songs or ambient music inspired in the comics I'm working on. I'll be probably making a video with images of the comics too.

Comic book script: Time line

The first steps in the creation of our first comic book script as a team, tentative title "The Messenger".

Having a resume of the main events in the story, we proceed making a time line for these events and a time line for each event in the lives of the characters.

"The Messenger" is supposed to be a 7-issues mini-series full of mystery, horror, suspense and mysticism.

Co-created by the artists and writers Nicolás Colacitti and Rodrigo Mavica.
