Some of my favourite Pokémon + Fiverr!

Not too long ago, I got caught in the tumblr fever of drawing your favourite pokémon. So I just went ahead and finished a whooping amount of 3 little critters but who cares, they're awesome.

Ghost type: Duskull! He's the perfect mix between cute and awesome that made me fall in love with Pokémon as a kid.

Water type: Slowpoke. I mean look at this guy's face.

AW YEAH NORMAL TYPE IN DA HOUSE SMEARGLE'IN IT UP THIS GUY ACTUALLY DRAWS AS AN ATTACK HOW COULD I NOT LOVE HIM 

Ahem! And in non-pokémon related news, I have a Fiverr account now! So you can actually request drawings from me in there! Drawings like the ones I showed you. If you want something a bit more complex, we could always discuss it, check this first to get an idea and then drop a few lines, either by commenting or in the fancy contact form to the right!

*wink, wink*

Spider-man + The Human Torch

Marvel comics time! Like most people I'm really excited about upcoming Marvel films, but I'm still bummed that due to licensing issues we won't see Spidey teaming up with the Fantastic Four or the Avengers anytime soon...

This was actually drawn some time ago, on a whim. It's done straight ahead on paper with a cd marker-- what I mean by that is that there was no under drawing, nothing made on pencil. It's really fun because you can't erase your mistakes, so you're more concious about what you're doing, but since I was just doing it for fun I wasn't worried about the result, heh

I hope to get back to my comics soon!

Cartoon Drawings Cavalcade, or Cartoon Comics Gallore, or Funny Pictures of funny stuff or whatever...!

Hello there! I haven't uploaded anything of importance this week. My pokémon comic is getting inked as we speak (read? whatever!) so in the meantime I just decided to upload... a random amount of drawings I've had laying around.

These are made in different styles and techniques, so I think it's a good overview of the things I can do. Not al of them are completely finished but I hope you sort of get the idea behind most of the pieces (read: I hope you can forgive the lack of context and my site sucking up your bandwidth!)


SO BIG QUESTION: Is there ANYTHING in here that you think could be interesting to develop? Like a certain drawing that caught your attention, or did you like the comic at the bottom or anything? Tell me in the comments!


Enjoy! Hopefully!

Also, hello there, reddit! Thanks for the constant influx of visitors!

And hello there, tumblr! Thanks for showing up from time to time as well!

A request for an Adventure Time/Piny & the Brain drawing.

Classy self portrait!

A Cartoonier self portrait

A cartoony portrait of my girlfriend

A request of "Super Sonic vs Flash"

Panel from an unfinished comic

A drawing of a local politician.

A request someone had to draw their own superhero character, a girl made of crystal.

Supergirl!

A doodled page of a comic I never quite got around to finish (do you see the pattern? :O)

Traditional Inking Pointers!

I recorded a video tutorial! A few people have asked me about how I ink things traditionaly (ie with ink on paper) and I thought this could be an interesting way to show the basics.

Even if you're just starting artistically, this can help you a lot! I wish I had known more about that stupid inking asterisk when I got started, haha.

Sorry about my bad english! :)

A childhood story: Dragon Ball and Me.

Dragon Ball WAS my childhood, thank you very much.

At first this was going to be some sort of excercise on non linear narrative and all that stuff that current comic book artists like to do

But then I decided that it looks better as a storybook, anyway!

This is why I don't write children's books, hehehe.

Big HELLO to the tumblr curious that venture into my blog! Feel welcome! ;)

Pokémon? Wait, what's this? What's this? Could it be... ? 

Hello there! As you may remember, I was making a Pokémon comic about MissingNo.!

Hmmmmm.....

SO!

Now I've got to finish it! I hope... anyway, instead of brand new pages, you get brand new old pages! This probably makes me the strangest comic artist ever but hear me out: like I said in the blog about the original page 12,  that was the first time I did everything on the computer. From the begining, this comic was meant to be an excercise on traditional + digital media, and that little venture into full-digital artwork wasn't some of my best work, and I feel that it kinda goes against the comic itself.

(Non-artist translation = That page sucks, and I didn't like it, and now I draw better!)

I'ts also a bit jarring to see my artistic evolution. Just check around in the blog! My old drawings used to be awful. Nowadays I draw a lot better. It's still awful, but presentable awful, the kind of awful you would introduce to your parents.

Let's hope some people still show interest on this. A big thank you to reddit and tumblr, and all the users in those sites that loved my work. This page is dedicated to you!

Next update: AN ACTUAL NEW PAGE SO WE CAN FINALLY FIND OUT WHAT HAPPENED IN MT SILVER yesssssss

Follow me on tumblr or on your rss feeds or whatever! Links are in the sidebar, at the top!

Poison Ivy

I'm not dead, hahaha.

Man, I suck at drawing women. I'm slowly improving, though.
I love comicbooks, but currently the trend in mainstream superhero comics doesn't appeal to me. I admire the hard work the artists put in there, but most of the time the drawings are just too... muddled? I don't know, it's not something you pick up right away if you're not artistically inclined, but it's something that's always on the back of your mind while attempting to read a present-day comicbook... it feels overworked, I dunno. I dislike it, personally. Comics shouldn't have extremely serious drawings, we're still dealing with people with superpowers and their undies in the outside! DC, take note of that. Marvel at least tries to have a lot of different artstyles all over their books...

This was done traditionally for the first stage, I just used a thin marker over a pencil sketch. Then I colored it on Photoshop. I think it looks interesting!

Oh, well. Gotta get back to work!

Well, page 11 arrives! You know, just now I realized that Red's party has 6 pokémon already, so Missingno. couldn't be a part of the team. So let's assume he's just tagging along, haha.

I doubt Red cares about rules when one of his friends is in trouble, though. Swell kid.

Also, next week Chile faces Uruguay and Paraguay in the Qualifiers for the 2014 FIFA World Cup! So excited. Expect more football art coming your way, hahaha.
But also, Pokécomics!

Page ten already of my Pokémon Red / Missingno. nostalgiafest, wow. Never thought I'll make it this far whitout getting bored!

BEWARE THE WALL OF TEXT

Hope you like it! That Missingno./Pidgey in flight is perhaps the hardest thing I've drawn in the whole series--I just couldn't make him "look right" so I ... kinda winged it and hoped the coloring would make him recognizable.

Thanks for all the nice comments! You guys are pretty cool!

Another day, another Pokemon fancomic page!

I was a bit at odds with this page, I wasn't sure how to tackle the idea I had in mind... I think this'll sufice, after all this was meant as an "in-between" in the story, a little bit of calm before the storm, if you will.

And an excuse to draw Blastoise.

I think this look fits Missingno. a lot better, but I would like to hear your thoughts. And wow, did that last text block went on forever or what.

Also, remember I lent my tablet to my gf yesterday? Here's what she did. She paints a lot better than me...

Link's Awakening Ending comic

I lent my tablet to my girlfriend today, so I can't finish today's comic in a realistic timeframe. I'm so sorry! I'll ask her for permission to post some of her drawings later so you can see how she paints.

I could have uploaded the sketches and preliminar inks but hey, I think that at this point it's more important to pay attention to quality over quantity... besides, we're getting closer to the fun parts!

But hey, here is some art I've done in the past! In this case, a comic about Link's Awakening, a Zelda title for Gameboy. And yes, this is actually the ending of the game.

HEY I STILL DRAW CLOUDS SORT OF LIKE THAT

You know, I used to be very active at Deviantart. It's a fun community, and I still post there, but blogging feels so much more... free, or something. I don't know how to explain it, but it just feels nice, much more personal and welcoming.

Also some of my old art was horrible. This took me 55 minutes, for crying out loud!

I also want to do a small Zelda comic after I'm done with the Pokemon saga. But first, some football comics... Argh, wish I had more hands!

Drawing that mountain was really fun. No reference! Good art exercise.

I need to get a better wacom tablet... and a new computer. I need a lot of new things!

In which we Occupy Pallet Town!

Man, drawing these is so much fun! I wonder how long will it take to finish? Hm....
Oh, and also, yeah, Red's mom is inspired by that whiny guy's mom.

Will I ever decide on a standard design for missigno.? Hahaha!

In case you didn't know, back then the reason why we always tried to fight/catch him was because everytime you fought him you got 128 of the item you had in the sixth slot. Pretty cool to multiply nuggets and master balls!

In which Red catches a new Pokemon.

Thanks to all the Pokemon fans that have enjoyed it so far! Check for another one tomorrow... And thanks to all the non-pokemon fans that still go into my blog, haha. I'll upload something different soon!

Also, it really makes me feel old when people who are into videogames ask me "who is missingno.?"
For those who don't know, missingno. was a glitch-pokemon, you found him in the original gameboy games by using Surf in a particular spot. Here's a video walkthrough.

I need to decide a title for this...
So, Pokemon! This is the first page of a series of Pokemon comics I wanna do. Hopefully it won't be too long.

Still not completely sold on my Missingno. look but heh, I had to finish this today!

Also, Internet is crazy slow today here in my city. We're in the middle of a very windy season (wind over 100 kn/h) and it messed up sattelite reception, or something. So this probably will upload (veeeeery slowly) but twitter and tumblr just doesn't open, for instance... I'm counting on you to carry the word ;)

PES or FIFA? You decide!

So yeah, I went there. Where no man should ever go, unless they want to lose their minds and souls: Into the debate of PES vs FIFA.

In case you don't know, they're both insanely popular soccer (football, football!) videogames. PES is made by Konami, and FIFA by EA. They're also pretty different on both intent and gameplay, which is something I tried to point out in the comic--it's useless to discuss "wich one is better". Would you compare NBA Jam and NBA 2Ksomething?

This comic was inked traditionally, but my pens started to run out of ink in the panel borders, haha. You can see the imperfections!

Versión en Español:

Golden Age Superman

In the Golden Age of Comics, Superman made his first appearance in Action Comics #1.

Back then Superman was AWESOME. I mean, I love Superman now, but the Supes of the day... oh wow. He punched crooks, crashed cars, fought the Great Depression, punched some other people and stoped WWII by himself. And he couldn't even fly at this point, just "leap a building in a single bound"

You crazy badass!!

He also beat up a guy that was abusing his wife. His badassery knew no end.
Superman is the greatest hero ever. Mainly because he's all that we want to be when we're children: he's honest, brave, and quick to jump into action. And children know best.

Adam Strange, Hero of Rann

Adam Strange is a comic book superhero, and one of the best concepts for a hero ever. Sadly, he's not very well known.

Seriously, who's this guy?

He's basically an archeologist that gets sucked into a teleporting beam to a far away planet (Rann) and helps the locals fight alien invasions and other dangers dressing up in a cool space suit and going in adventures.

So basically Indiana Jones + Flash Gordon.

It's pretty cool because, for instance, Superman is an alien protecting our planet; Adam Strange is an earthling protecting an alien planet. With the power of space rockets!

(Also---here's the pencil sketch. I usually work like this, sketch shapes in blue, trace with regular lead, and then remove the blue in the computer! Thought it would be interesting to show)

Yes, I ran out of space for the legs, sue me!

Steve the Robot goes in a blind date

I don't even know.

Fun fact: Steve runs in Arch Linux.

Yet another experiment in style. I want to find out how I can draw comics faster! Anyone has any tips?
I'll upload something funny one of these days, hopefully!
