Primer Paso: El Lapiz / First Step: The Pencil

0


Ésta es la baronesa. Aun no tiene nombre...es sólo "la baronesa". Desempeñará un papel en la historia de mi LadyOrc y, ni siquiera yo, sé si pretenderá ayudarla o traicionarla...(aunque conociendo mi turbia imaginación no querrá nada bueno para ella jeje). Éste pj lo dibujé a lapiz en mi cuaderno hace años...y si mi desidia y el Karma me lo permiten os iré mostrando el proceso creativo desde el mero "sketch" hasta la ilustración final a color con su fondo y todo (yo personalmente apuesto a que no seré capaz de terminarlo jeje pero...¿quién sabe? ;) )

------------------

This is my baroness. She doesn´t have a name at all...she´s just "the Baroness". This is another characther from LadyOrc and will help to our green-skin-girl (or maybe betrayed her, no one can trust her...not even me!). This is just a sketch; as I say: "pencil goes first". It´s my purpose to show you the entire process, from pencil to the final cover. Let´s see if I defeat my laziness!

Coloreando Comics / Comic Style Painting

0




El autor de éste fabuloso tutorial es erickenji. Lo encontré en devianart y aunque tiene un link para descargar el vídeo tambíen está en el youtube para que todos puedan verlo. Realmente usa una técnica muy interesante para dar color. En cuanto tenga tiempo la practicaré pero parece que se ahorra bastante tiempo coloreando de éste modo y no del "modo tradicional" (suponiendo que haya alguno).

Today I found this awedome tutorial by erickenji surfin the net. Finally, in his deviantart, he show us a (pretty good) technique. I´m gonna test it but think you´ll save some time pinting in this way. Hope enjoy it!

Chicas Malas / Bad Girls

0

No sé qué tienen las chicas malas que tanto nos gustan a todos. Ésta que veis aquí es una de ellas. Diseñada para ser la némesis de mi Lady Orc, aun no tiene nombre (el único que se me ocurre es Démona, pero esa era la chica gargola de la serie Gargoyles...). Aun tengo que vestirla y ponerle unos cuantos esbirros...y quizas depilarle las piernas, aunque no creo que eso le quite morbo...

I don´t know what bad girls have but...we love them! Here you are the Lady Orc's Nemesis, Demona (yes, yes, I know, that was the name of the gargoyle girl, the old Goliat's fiancee...this is just provisional). Have to dress and bring her several buddies, you know, she´ll need her own bad guys gang so...lets see if I have time to shave her legs...

Marvel VS DC

0







Quien diga que la guerra entre Marvel y DC Cómics no existe, o que ha terminado, o algo por el estilo, o miente o se equivoca. Sólo tenéis que mirar estas dos portadas para poder ver el paralelismo entre ellas. Pero podéis pensar...¿coincidencia? Creo que no.
Vengadores Oscuros es la nueva línea editorial de Marvel; básicamente, y para el que no lo sepa, los Vengadores de toda la vida han sido despedidos y su lugar lo ocupan ahora los que, hasta la fecha, han sido los villanos. No negaré que es un halo refrescante ver cómo los chicos malos intentan hacerse pasar por los buenos sin renunciar del todo a sus pulsiones psicóticas...y qué demonios, ver como "ganan los malos" es algo novedoso en el mercado americano: los protas son los malos!
Ahora pasamos a la serie de DC, Villains United...empieza bien con el título. Esto va de que Lex Luthor y varios más están reuniendo a todos los supervillanos del universo DC para hacerse una mega-mafia y plantar cara en condiciones a superman y compañía; sin embargo hay algunos chicos malos que prefieren no unirse y por lo visto ésto crea algunos problemas...Y si bien los argumentos, en principio, no se parecen, sí que coincide la idea: una serie donde los malos son los protas.

-------------------------------------------------

Whoever says that the war between Marvel and DC Comics doesn´t exist, or has done or something like that, is lying or mistaken. You only have to take a look at these two covers to see the parallels between them. But you could think...coincidence? I don´t think so.
Dark Avengers is the new serie of Marvel; basically the old Avengers have been fired and now their places are occupied by the bad guys. All right, I have to admit this is something new in the american market: we all know that the bad guy can´t win. Have to say, in addition, this is what Marvel was needing, something novel and refresh. It will be funny to se how characters like Norman Osborn, or Bull Eye, can deal with his new status because, they have to admit this, they are assassins.
Now lets go to the DC serie "Villains United"...OK the tittle is awesome. The story is about Lex Luthor; he is recluting several villains from DC Universe to build a "super-gang" to face the superheros and role the world, etc, etc...however, there are several bad guys that decline to join this group and here is when troubles starts. So, as you can see, both storylines aren´t equal, but the main idea is the same: bud guys like major figures of the story.

¡Tengo Hambre! / I´m Hungry!

2

Lo titulé Skull Monster, es el segundo dibujo que hice empleando la técnica que aprendí con el "ManCat". El carácter de éste segundo monstruo quería que fuera diametralmente opuesto al del hombre gato. Se nota que a éste diablillo le acabas de interrumpir en mitad de un festín, pero en vez de enfadarse, se vuelve y te invita "¡Claro hombre! Gracias por venir, ¿tienes hambre? Jeje, qué lástima porque ¡Yo Sí!"

Here you are, my Skull Monster. This is the second picture drawn with the technique learned from the ManCat. It seems this second monster is a good-natured guy, even funny, like a nemesis from the cat-man. Look at him, you just interrupt his meal but, instead of getting angry he invites you: "Sure man! Thanks for comming... are you hungry? He he, what a pity 'cause I do!"
