La mer.

Hello guys.
Not much to say... here's another commission that I've been requested. This one was really fun to do, but the inking was quite a pain in the butt.

Cheers!

Owl

Hello there
I'm here with the last of the commissions I was talking about.
The lucky finalist is The Owl.

In case anybody's wondering why that owl looks so weird, I prepared myself with a pretty solid answer: "because I wanted it to look that weird..." .
The thing is, I was trying to exaggerate the proportions of the owl by increasing the size of the neck and wings, making it's head smaller but that turned out pretty freakishly weird, thus I modified a bit the size of the head leaving me with something that looked ok. It looked ok in pencil.... in pencil...

Anyway.
I used the same technique as the other two, and I must say, it was really fun redesigning this one.

Cheers!

Magic

Hello once again.

As I was saying last time I started work on a couple of commissions. The second lucky bookmark that received a facelift was the "Magic" bookmark.

And here it is.

 

Same old technique. I used the brush more though, but I can't say I'm happy with the result.

Anyway, until next time,
Salutations.

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!

Po fan art.

Some of you may know that I'm a big Kung Fu Panda fan, so it was pretty obvious that something like this was meant to come along sooner or later hehe.
So, I made this for a friend.

I used 200g A4 Fabriano paper, inked using a quill with various nibs, brushes and some liners as well. The background greys are watercolors and ink.

Will be back soon with some more Po fan art :P .

Bookmarks

These my dear friends are a few bookmarks I just finished. Hopefully you'll see them in a few book shops in the near future. Until then, if any of you want one, you should email me about it.

Watercolors, colored crayons, liners, ink, quill and nibs I thank you all.

 

Cheers.

Sleeping rocks.

Here's another comic nobody's going to bother reading.

Sleeping rocks.
   

 One bold explorer digs where he should not dig, getting a little bit more on his hands than the dirt he expected.

Four a4 pages exercise. Ink, quill and nibs, liners and pencils, nothing fancy.

Cheers.

Of gods and men.

End.
