"Rider" graphic novel is up!

Fastback pictures is working on a post-apocalyptic movie. You know, bikers, wastelands, slavery, though characters...and I got to draw the graphic novel! You can read the preview here
Some of my favourite pages

Getting back to digital coloring (slowly and carefully)

I need to switch tecniques and styles quite often, it seems. I was doing so well with watercolors, and this is the latest. Mmh.

I guess the bigger problem here is that I'm not so patient to keep up with the amount of details the most recent pages required. Let's see if switching to something graphic for the next project helps.

Still working on cover arts, too. This is for Rider! Still waiting for review and approval, so it's probably not going to be the definitive version

No idea why in the storyboard I made the bike going right-to-left. It's also more difficult to draw this line that way. 

Spaceships and motorbikes

 I've spent the whole Christmas week to my parents' house, and I couldn't actually study or do any work. I supposed the week to be more active, but we ended up sleeping most of the time - so I barely had paper and pencils with me. I ended up studying my little brother's toys. He's StarWars crazy.

All the proportions are wrong, but at least they look like spaceships and not like sandwiches

I'm also trying to put together a good portfolio, so I'm remaking some of the pages I've done this year, with improved storyboard and drawings. This is somewhat inspired by the Rider graphic novel I've drawn for Fastback pictures (the project is still in the making)

So, are you just making sketches or what?

Producing a comic really is a long job. In the last two months I've been working mostly on the EKOenergy project, but I've also been doing some shorter stuff. Either way, I hadn't anything completed until last week. On top, two sample pages for a possible upcoming project. Please cross your fingers for me, for if they choose me I won't be starving until Christmas.

The EKOenergy short comics now has a real title, so please welcome the first two (almost) completed pages of EKOsofia! The comic will soon be available on ekoenergy.org; my EVS ends at the end of september, and you'd be surprised by how many translators are working to make it available in various languages.

And last but not least, the graphic novel for FASTBACK Pictures is also on the way to be finished. These guys are amazing. The graphic novel will be part of the fundraising campaign for their upcoming movie. Post-apocalyptic bikers, sexy women, action. Basically what I always wanted to draw. I really hope they can make it, both because I want to see the movie, and because it would be a blast if I was able to continue drawing this.

As usual, keep reading Bilateral Comics! Our last episode, CODE 991 is getting some amazing reviews all over the web...and I'm sure you don't want to miss the third episode of Valley-01, now work in progress.

Rider graphic novel - Fastback pictures

I don't want to be scaramantic, so I'm going to update you on another upcoming project that should be interesting. In the last month I've been in the selecting process to draw a graphic novel written by Mike Ezell and Pascal Franchot based on the latest product by Fastback pictures, "Rider"
The project has been delayed a couple of times, first because of my other workload, then because of a trouble with another one of the people involved, but it should start in the next days. Post apocalyptic, sci-fi setting, with a badass main character riding an even more badass motorcycle. I only have some sketches right now, and I think most of the drawings will be kept private until given permission - anyway, the script and character appereance has changed since when I drew these.

Some other artists are responsible for the character and equipment design, and this is merely an old sketch based on the old Rider appereance. Now it's heavily changed - plus I think I took the helmet from another of their characters, the Gunslinger.

Also, the test page I did for them. This won't appear in the actual graphic novel as the script is changed as well as the appereance of the characters, but I think you get the idea. I truly hope this project goes on, as it's going to be really interesting. I'm familiar with this kind of setting, but I haven't actually had the chance to draw anything so sci-fi until now, so it's going to be a challenge.
