Ticking Away

Finally, here's the comic complete. I say thanks to Chris Beckett and Dan Fleming for making me a part of it, and I hope to have the chance to work with them again in the future.

New work

I've met Chris Beckett and Dan Fleming from OnTheFlyPublications at comicspace, and I'll be working with them in a 6-pages story called 'Ticking Away'. The story is into an anthology. Here's a preview of the first page.

Into the Comicspace

I've been working on an account at comicspace, and I'll do my best to keep it actualized.

You'll find more and new images from the projects.

Code: Humans: Page 1 test 2

Here's a new version of the first page. I think that I've corrected the failures of the previous version.

About colors, I think they could be necessary at a certain moment of the story, but in the meantime the grayscale accomplishes his objectives.

About the text boxes, I've tried to not interrupt too much the drawings.

Code: Humans: Page 1 test

Here's a little preview of a test that I've done in the first page of 'Code: Humans'. I've tried different coloring styles and also grayscales, and possibly I'll take this option.

Anyway this won't be the final version yet, the character's legs aren't clear and I hope to add more lights and shadows later.

I've added the text boxes just to see how it looks, but I'll have to work in how they're located across the page.

Even more new projects

More personal projects are on sight, this time a series of short stories that will conform a graphic novel or more.

At this time, 'Code:Humans' and 'The Messenger' are paused but I'm planning to finish at least 5 or 10 pages for 'Code:Humans' and use those pages to submit to different publishers.

The same thing for 'The Messenger'. It's possible that Rodrigo and me will start this project first. Time will tell.

Another new project

I've just finished the pencils of the first 5 pages for the project 'Deathmatch UK' written by Paul Holmes. The project is going to be submitted to various publishers. We'll see what happens soon.

Here's a preview of the first page, I've done the pencils, and Rodrigo Mavica the inks.

New project: Characters

I'm working right now in a new short 8-pages story written by Travis Gibb. These are his characters.
In this process of remaking the characters in my style (they were drawn by another artist before) I take the chance to test what style works better for the characters and the story. I think I'll be using both styles (shaded and lineal) for two different stories that are narrated in the same 8 pages.
The story is part of an anthology called 'Forbidden Paradise'.
You'll be able to know more about Travis at the Orange Cone Productions myspace.

Test Panels

Here's a test I've done for a publisher. Two panels that describe the script they gave me.

For this work I've used a more clean style than my usual work, and this will give a simpler job for the inker and a great chance for the colorist to create volumes and lights with the color.

I can use this style also for superheroic comics, but anyway I'll be uploading more of that specific genre soon.

Angels & Demons: Digital ink

Here's the same character from the previous post, now I'm using the same image to explain the process of digital inking that I've done, just like an experiment.

First I've done a really rough drawing of the character. I didn't detail a lot her face nor the clothes. Once the image is in the computer, I've used my Wacom tablet and Photoshop to start the inking.

The pro is that you'll be able to add lots of details. The only negative thing that I've found is that maybe it'll take more time than the common inking.

I'm still using markers for the inking, but I think I'll be considering the digital inking in the future.

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.
