You should never play L4D2 with me!

As a guy that really, really likes to draw, I was bound to start doing my own little animations from time to time! And since I love playing viedogames, well, that's also a plus. L4D2! If you don't play this game I'm not sure if you'll get it, but... pretty much everyone has played it at least once. I think. If you haven't, it's quite fun.

This was made some time ago. But I never showcased it in this blog!

I love cartoons, but they take a whole lot of time to do correctly! I wish I had a bunch of people working for me so I could crank animations at a better pace, but I guess that's a bit too much to ask right now, haha.

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*

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!

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!

"Hey, why haven't I uploaded in a while?"

Well, my body is frail. Frail as a glasstower. A glasstower made in China.

So how have you guys been, heh? HEH?

My thesis is still on the work, you gotta wish me luck on that. And yes, the fabled Pokémon comic! It's still on the back on my head. Don't worry, I won't leave you hanging. I mean, I've already kinda done that, but you get my point. I love to draw those characters, but REAL LIFE gets in the way pretty often. Sigh. I have to learn how to draw faster...

And wish me luck on my chinese glass stomach as well. EEERGH.

Also, request me stuff, that's always fun. Commission me if you want to see it before 2020 though.


(By the way, has anyone else been following the Olympics? I love Olympic season, everyone's so jingoistic, but at the same time so happy! It's pretty cool!)

Paper Mario and me

Ok, so, if you were the person that came out with the idea of a virtual console for the Wii, I HATE YOU SO MUCH RIGHT NOW.
I couldn't stop playing. I felt powerless. Stupid epic Nintendo 64 games...

Missingno.'s totally groovy comic-palozaa* is back!

*working title

Anyway, sort as it is, hope you enjoy it. Feels a bit weird to draw stuff like this again, hehehe. It was really fun, though! And hopefully we see more of the regular characters soon... expect a big battle in the not-distant-at-all future!

Still thinking about what can I draw after this is done...

Not dead! Also, Skyward Sword joke

Nope, not dead! Internet was, so I didn't even bother updating yesterday.
It's pretty annoying. Even now, as I write this post, I feel like a castaway writing a letter, putting it in a bottle and throwing it off to the sea hoping someone reads it. Everytime I click on "publish" or "post" I cross my fingers, fearing the"website is not available" page. Some crazy stuff.

Oh, hey, a new Zelda came out! And if you're a Zelda fan, or visit any Zelda fansite, you know what that means!

Lame joke, but we all know that's happening already. I've also been tempted to download the game* (it costs a considerable amount of cash were I live) but I'll much rather wait for Christmas and treat myself. Besides, how can I mantain a blog and finish a new Zelda at the same time?

---

I haven't forgotten about my Pokémon comic but that takes longer to finish! These little interludes allow me to practice on photoshop and give me time to sort out my ideas (scripts are for little girls, manly artists use a plot summary on their heads and work from it!)


*"You wouldn't download a car" TO HELL WITH IT I WOULD IF I COULD

A Final Fantasy IV drawing

My internet is still flickering and it's kinda annoying. Each time I open a new tab or click on a link I have to cross my fingers to get it to open... most of the time it doesn't, and I've got to F5 a few times before the page shows up. Which is incredibly annoying, and sometimes it flat out doesn't work. So I've also neglected my twitter and tumblr and deviantart and... you get the idea.
Now, without a constant influx of internet, I remembered that I used to play games on the computer. Crazy, I know! I did a quick search on my CDs and usb drives, and found a bunch of old Super Nintendo roms. One of them caught my eye.
Now all you young whippersnappers have your fancy Final Fantasy XVIIII for the X-Playstation 64 or whatever, but back then, the first one I played, and so far the only one I've completed with no guides whatsoever but with a lot of quicksaving was this baby: Final Fantasy IV (also known as "II" in America and Europe).

Long story short, your best friend (Kain, the guy in green armor) likes your girlfriend a lot but doesn't act on it because he's kinda shy and a true bro. He tries to kill you later in the game but he's brainwashed so it doesn't count!

Sorry for the bad drawing, kinda tried to do something a bit more "freely" than the usual way I work but the result came all funky...

(Also congrats to England for beating Spain! We've been avenged!)

Gold's Pokemon Team

Pokemon Trainer Gold was recently introduced in my comic. Since I don't have the time to do a new page today (college, why), here's a few sketches of his team. Forgive the crudeness of the artwork, this was originally meant as a refernce guide for myself...!
This is actually based on my own team in Pokémon Gold! Even the Smeargle as an HM slave! Man, I felt smart for coming out with that one. I was 10, remember...

I also used to have a Sansdshrew as well (fave poké alongside Quilava) but it wouldn't make sense in the context of the comic. Gold should take powerful pokémon into Mt. Silver, an unevolved Sansdshrew could be in danger if a wild Pokémon ganged up on him. So now his party consists of only 5 Pokémon, and it's fine--he's trying to find Red, not battling him...

Right..?

(Wow, I'm actually trying to make sense of Pokémon of all things.)

I'm really sorry for the lack of updates yesterday! My internet went down... I feel terrible about it. Taking requests as a form of showing my regret!

Ahem, here's page 12 of the yet unnamed Missingno. saga! In which we introduce both a new character, the current situation, and an artstyle.

From the beggining, this comic was meant to prove myself that I could draw faster if I did it the traditional way, pen on paper. It wasn't easy, and in the end I decided to try doing it straight in the computer this time around. It doesn't "look" as neatly as I would want, though... perhaps I should draw traditionally and ink digitally? That seems the way to go, and I'll try it next time.
But this time around it wasn't that important to keep a consistant style, since it's just two simple panels. Hum...

Also, I wanted to do a comic about today's Chile-Uruguay match, but my keyboard is still soaked with tears. Sorry!

Interlude- The Zelda "Iron boots" problem

I ended up chickening out. I couldn't finish a pokemon page today... but hey, on the bright side, my final thesis is coming out great! Hopefully it ends up that way, haha.

So, Zelda! I recently started playing the one for SNES. Why did Link have pink hair? Seriously.

I also love the flippers to death! They should return in a 3D title, it would be awesome to swim instead of clumsily walking underwater under heavy weight.

Hope you like it! Let's see what the future holds for my artwork...

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!

So, it's not really a comic page in istelf, but I wanted to clarify some stuff and get some background on Red's actual situation from an outsoder's point of view. Pokémon comics are serious business!

Enter: Newspapers! I don't think I ever saw one in the games, but hey, it works!

I like how it turned out! First page made completely in Photoshop! I tried to do it manually but here was just so much text... I think I did the right choice.

I finished Zelda

Not an actual Zelda comic, of course not. Neither a regular videogame.

I just finished the FIRST Zelda, for NES. It was very good, and sometimes really hard. I got lost a lot, and how on earth were we supposed to know exactly where to use Candles to burn down specific bushes! That was he only way to find a dungeon.

Crazy or not, it was a brilliant game, so it warrants a mini tribute!

I can't draw octorocks (a type of zelda enemies). Picture those are octorocks. And that Link can talk. Huh.

I'm currently replaying A Link to the past! Another insanely fun game to play. I wish, again, that I had more hands to draw more comics.

See ya tomorrow for more Pokémon comics!

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!

Has it been 6 pages already? Wow. At around 2 hours per page, i've been working at these 12 hours, half a day! And you read them in less that two minutes, you lazy jerk! (just kidding! no I'm not, makes me sad)

Also, this is the first time in these comics that I actually redrew something on the computer-- Red, on that last panel. I couldn't do it right on the inking stage, so I went over it on Photoshop... I feel like I cheated or something. At least it doesn't look tacked on!

I should probably start uploading some original pages so people could tell how I work and laugh at my scribbly sketches. Heh.
