Maus

Ok.
So, in the past few days I started working on a couple of commissions. I was asked to create an A4 version for three of the ink bookmarks that I made some time ago. But as some of you know, I don't trace unless it's animation... thus being a jolly human being that loves the outdoors and all manner of activities that presume leaving the fucking house, I decided to recreate those three in a better, more time consuming version, fit for hanging on a wall.

The first lucky one was "MAUS"

 (As usually, quills and nibs and inkers and brushes and paper and patience)

The next one will be... actually I won't tell you guys which one will be next, you'll just have to wait for it hihihih.

Cheers!

Chat noir.

Hello again!

I've been working on an ink drawing for a friend. She absolutely loves black cats and reading so I had to come up with something in the line of what you're gonna see below. I got inspired quite a bunch by Théophile Steinlen's iconic "Chat Noir" poster, I mean that was the first thing that came to my mind when I heard the words black cat. Yet another reminder of how powerful an image can be hehe. Anyway, I can't compare mine to that, but, it is pretty cute. Here it is.

Really curious if she's gonna like it.

I've invested quite a bit of thinking on the composition but none on color, so I'm probably gonna leave it like this. It looks a bit better on paper than it does scanned, you know, just in ink. It's traditionally inked using pen and quills and nibs and brushes and quite some time.
Here's the pencil.

Initially I was planning on doing some celtic knots instead of those circles, like the almost Dara Knot that's around the cat's head, but that proved a bit too difficult for me, considering the really small size of the circles. Oh yeah I did this on an A4 format. I'm not gonna post the wee sketches I did for this. So...yeah, that's about it. Hope you guys like it, and I hope she likes it as well. Now i'm off looking for a frame for this thing.


Cheers!

"Setila" fan art

Here's a fan art made for a comic that runs back home. Pretty interesting character, having a bit of a pickle with whatever he drinks being transported to his father's kingdom... Damn curses... 

Ink version.

Watercolor and colored crayons version.

Inked with quill and nibs, colored with watercolors and colored pencils on a5 200 and something grams paper.


Cheers.

(I used a 0.35 pen for the sketch, on a5 300g Canson paper[great stuff], and quill and nibs for the inking)

Work in progress. Here's the creepy pencil sketch and the ink drawing.
Cheers!
