Action!

Drawing action scenes is something rare for me, both because of my preferences when writing a story and because of the commissions I usually get. I guess it's the cat biting its tail, but I somehow got out of it with Chaos Campus.

I'm also studying this kind of violence. Thanks, Crossed.

Working on Dawn of the D(e)ad, too! First pencils are on their way (it seems I forgot to scan them, so let's talk about them next week), and a work in progress cover art. I swear if I don't get this published I'm gonna turn it into a webcomic.

Cover issues: Cheyenne Mountain Facility

Let's start saying doing covers always make me nervous. I know they are a decisive piece for everything I draw, and while if a page is not the best the next one can save the day...well, there's nothing to save a bad cover.
This is the last one I had to do, for a (probably) upcomic project about superheros with lab-created powers, written by the talented James Rowe: Cheyenne Mountain Facility.

So the above is the first stage. I'm lucky enough to have some dear friends that helped me when I was panicking ("ohmygodwhatdoIdoifit'shorrible") and reviewed the pencils, noting some elements to be fixed.

Yes, there's a reflection of the glass over her hair.

The ink looks pretty poor. Consider I don't feel proficient with colouring yet: I mostly rely on the ink. Imagine the panic at this stage. ("ohmygodit'shorriblewhatdoIdo").

aaand the colours save the day - and my ass. Maybe not the best cover ever but hey, I'm really satisfied. I truly hope this project will proceed into an actual comic book. We're currently looking around because we lack funds (as every indie project ever). Some of the pages have already been done, and they might come online soon. We'll see.

Oltre il bosco

Some quick characters design for a short story I'm working on at school

Old characters

So, some older characters came by to say Hi. They were kinda stuck in the pencil. I'm glad to see they're doing fine; I'm considering getting them back on paper for a short story. Some preview

DC talent search - Harley Quinn

So it happens that DC comics is hosting a talent search with a requested page on Harley Quinn, and we're giving it a try. It seems like the lady and I are pretty good together

Perspective practice and character design

Spaghetti Western

It seems I'm almots done with Spaghetti Western, the short story I planned to draw this summer. The last page is still in need of a clean up, but I'm confident I'll have the inks done in a day or two. Spare time has been missing thi summer (yay!)
