Graphic Novel Updates

I don't know how many art pieces I've done since my last post, but I will try to update you the best I can!


I have been struggling with my graphic novel, and the problems that I have been having at home are not helping me to decide what to do with it... anyway! I've been sketching and sketching to try to release some stress and anger.


The hardest thing that a heart can deal with is the deception of another.
This idea was fermenting in my head for a long time, but since I'm not a professional mangaka, I'm always with some fear to try it and fail at it, but I had a really good feedback about it, so yeah, I guess I didn't fail that much.

 So continuing the traditional spirit. Finally I'm doing some character design attempting to get some inspiration to continue my graphic novel.
Meet Cerberus - yeah, that one! 
He's Caroline guardian [ one of the main characters ], and his mission is not concrete since he doesn't have any memories to recall.
 I really love his design, and it was actually the first try that I give it! He will have an extra design, but it will come up eventually with the graphic novel development.
  
I will definitely try to start all over again with my graphic novel, so the pages that you already read... forget about them, because you will have some brand new art <3


In a different path, but in the same media, I will show you a three piece commission that I did.

 This is a commission for a Deviant Artist.
I'm doing some commissions like this for only 8$, it's a lifetime deal, so if you are interested you can access this link for more information :  http://fav.me/d8tjn9l
If you don't have a DA account you can comment bellow and I will accept your request through here!

see ya next time!

Will you...

Sometimes I try to understand why I react in so many different ways to a single problem. Maybe I just gave up on so many things and stop running after.

This was maybe the most difficult piece that I've ever draw so far.
I've been through a hard time lately, and I never found a place to get rid of my pain... drawing was never the first path I take whenever I'm feeling down //since I don't even have strengths to get up in the morning.

You need to try to face your fears, and fight for what you want.
I know it's not that easy, and I know that, but for some reason we need to believe in something to keep going, even if that something is not real.
We need to find our inspiration, I found mine even if its not reachable, but I'm really happy to have something that I can rely my happiness on for now.

Caroline and Adam are two original characters of mine, and I love each one in the same way. 
I created them for my graphic novel idea, but in the end I don't know if I'm ever going to finish it... I may write it down as I always did with my novels.

Anyway. I'm sorry about the censure, but I'm not allowed to post nudes in here.
For the uncensored version » http://fav.me/d8nrq5o

About my skills:

+I'm still trying to figure out my digital drawing skills, and so far so good. I never had this massive improvement in so short time, and I must be proud of myself even if I'm not.

+As an artist I feel okay. I can't say that I'm 100% full filled, 'cause we can't be, its just not right.
I'm still trying to find out my style, even if I'm about to conclude that path.



One thing that I missed in a long time was traditional arts.
You can do amazing things with pencil and paper, and there's nothing more wonderful than that, but for some reason times changed and we have to run after what's in the market nowadays.

These are my 2 of 3 males main characters of my graphic novel, Adam and Duncan.
Once I have the character designs ready, I will do a full piece like this one of all my characters. 


And maybe I missed some things that I would love to talk about, but I may remember them for the next time :)
Hope you liked it!

Commissions Spot - Mermaid Sora and more..!

★Mermaid Sora Commission★

!Hello!

Today I'm going to talk about my latest commission request!

Normally I don't get excited with commissions //ofc I love to draw new characters, and play around with their background stories. But I can easily explain what I meant by that.

Square Soft / Enix, is the biggest inspiration for what I've become as an artist.
I always enjoyed drawing and I love videogames even more, but I never thought combining both 'till I played FFX. After that I knew what I wanted to do with my life.
I never draw Fanart unless I need to... this was the case and I got really happy to do it!

★Speed painting video★


From now on I will create a speed painting video for every Half or Full body fully shaded commission!
If you are interested in commission me I would love to take your request

I'm taking commissions on DA, FB and FA.


★ I only accept DA points or Paypal as payment method!
★ If you want extra info and examples please visit my journal at » http://fav.me/d8eyo8k

I will keep doing some updates with my art every time I can!

The comeback....

Heey!

It's been almost an year since I last posted here.... not that anybody cares but I had my reasons, but now I will try to make it to you!



From like 3 months now, I'm starting a new original graphic novel! Just between us... I prefer to write down my ideas than drawing them!
This is a new challenge for me and I will try to get over my fears //even if I'm getting a little bit stressed up about my life and I don't have much patience to keep doing it. 

»cover volume 1«

»page 1«

»page 2«

there's a lot of questions about my manga, but I seriously can't answer any of them just 'cause I don't like to spoil... even if I'm dying to do it......... //truestory.
You can follow it at my DA artist page :

Any reviews are more than welcome! 


Media:
Manga Studio
Skechbook Pro
SAI


This is maybe the best year so far for my improved skills.
I'm trying new things digitally and I still don't feel it, but with time I hope that's going to change.


»fanart of my original graphic novel "EDEN"«

These are two of my main characters of my graphic novel.
Caroline and Adam are connected somehow, but that's a story to discover in a considerable amount of chapters ahead!
Either way, this is a piece that I've been looking to do in a few months back.
As many of you know, videogames are a big part of my life and I wouldn't change it for nothing.
Unfortunately, the new generation don't know the good stuff, so this is kind of a tribute to that, and I'm really glad that I finished it completely.
It was my first big piece, since I was only able to do headshots or half body styles, I'm kinda proud of it ❤

Media:
SketchBook Pro
SAI
Photoshop CS5

» attempt cover «

This is an older piece, but I found important to share it with you 'cause this was the first traditional drawing that I did in years.
I used Flexi and Promarkers for the first time and I must say that I loved them ❤ I only have a few of them 'cause they are really expensive now that I don't work in England anymore, but I really want to buy more in time // they are actually fab!
I always found traditional drawing more interesting and lest stressful than digital drawing, and you can do whatever you want, and use whatever media you need to bring your drawing to life... the only con that I find is the non existence of CTRL+Z! //that'sreallyhelpful



And I guess I will stop for now! or else the post will continue for km with so much things that I have for sharing.

The next update I will talk about the commissions I'm doing and the next projects as well!


xoxo.
