Making a Cover Part 3



On this step I retouch the page in Photoshop.

Smoothen some lines, fill in the blacks, correct some mistakes and just give it an overall clean finish.

This would be the last teaser for our new book "The Pride".

Everything is finally coming together.

Tired but happy this is finally coming out.

Making a Cover Part 2




I told you I draw in a non-liner way. Pencil an object then proceed to inking it.

On part 1 I finished pencilling and inking Star Strong then stopped. I've felt I used up my creative energies and was done.

And now, using the same method I added the other characters one by one, pencilling and inking one at a time.

I think I have all sorts of energy cause I finished them all lol

On part 3, I'll erase the pencils and scan the image. Do some retouches and fill in the blacks in Photoshop, then post here finished inked product.

'Til then!

Making a Cover Part 1



I make covers, pinups, pages and just about everything else this way. One element at a time.

I pencil the object and then proceed to finishing it.

I know it's a bad habit that I need drop somewhere down the road, but for now I'll slack lol.

Escrima



Master of the Filipino Martial Arts "Kali".

He uses his skill and thirst for vengeance to dissolve the unholy alliance between corrupt business and corrupt politics.

His real power is his unwavering courage to fight against injustice-- in his home country and elsewhere.

Gotta practice some more!

The Pride Teaser Image: Fantasma



This is the first teaser image for The Pride. This one features Fantasma.

I don't know her powers yet but I'm excited to find out. I've yet to come across her on the pages that I'm working on.

Love the character design. Very enigmatic.

Click the image for a hi-res copy. Good for wallpaper ;)

The Pride #1 - Page 3 WIP



Working with my good friend Eric Lamont again.

His sense of character design is extraordinary! I'm very very excited to work on this.

The Pride by the way is a Puerto Rican super team, hatched from the brilliant mind of my good friend Eric who lives down there.

We're hoping to launch on October 2010. Can't wait for all of these to come together. Making comics is "Pure Fun!" ;)

This will also be available in Spanish.
