Various Digital drawings

Some slow days at work and I found the perfect way to battle death by boredom - I brought my tablet in to the office. A couple of days later (and hours upon hours of metal in my headphones) I had some work to show for it:

An Angel:


A Female daemon:


And the start of some Zodiac signs (currently only, and by this order: Gemini, Libra, Sagittarius and Virgo):






I finished up with a (Hellish) cityscape:


Comments are more than welcome :)

Some unpublished drawings

I've been doing some cleanup of my hard drive yesterday and found a couple of drawings I hadn´t uploaded anywhere before.

The first one is practically a sketch in red but I liked the effect and deemed it finished. Now that I post it, it kind of reminds me of James Coburn...):

The other is a fantasy themed one, also monochromatic (this one is pre-aquisition-of-Wacom, so it's done with the mouse):

Hope you enjoy them,

15mmMen: The missing floppies

15mmMen is a more or less irregular comic I do for Battlefront and it revolves around the game Flames of War - some of the comics will only be understood by gamers "in the know" of the rules - others are (I expect) a bit more universal. It's more or less an even mix.

When Battlefront moved to a new site, they set me up with my very own gallery, but a couple of comics got lost in the process :(

The one I most get asked about is "The-Black-Knight-one".
Also known as "The-one-with-Meninobesta" (who is facing the Black Knight on this strip).
Also known to my PC as "strip 21".

Well - I of course have the originals, plus some sketches. So without further ado, I give you: "That one comic that had PG on it" (yet another alias) :)

Sketch with composition for the strip (If you click it, it will grow):


Strip in it's final online format (click it for full size):


And some more strips that went missing in the move:

"Big Game Night", featuring my friend, Firepigeon - btw, congrats on Geek of the Week #123 Manuel! (this one is a comic revolving about relative sizes of armies):


And "The Wargamers Creed" (a more general wargaming comic):


Some links of note:

So all in all only 3 comics missing in some odd 40. Not bad :)

I'm currently on what (I hope) is a small break from 15mmMen. Because I'm bloody knackered :P

Illustrations for Children

Will try to quickly shoot out some posts that bring you up to date in some of the stuff I've been involved in last year.

This one was a fun one. It was fairly quick and I had just became a parent, so I had a critic at home to cry some opinions at the work in progress.

The general idea was that some squeaky clean dog would teach a dirty little boy about good hygiene habits. It was for a friend of mine (Pedro Rosa) to use in a school project envolving actual kids (I still have some left over copies of the booklet).

It was also a chance to get away from a much darker style I'm confortable in and try out a much softerpastellymylittleponycarebear style.

I did a Colored and a B&W all lines version (it was a coloring book)

An example of this is "Dirty Kid patting Squeaky Clean dog":

Scared Ghoul

Losely based on a Oil on canvas I have hanging on the wall, that I did on my teens.

Still playing with colours and materials :)

More to come next week,
