It's Been Great but...

For those who took the time to get to know my artwork, thank you for being open minded and so collaborating people. Thanks for your comments and suggestions. Thanks for the commissions you've asked for.

I have learned a lot from you, just showing little pieces of artwork. I have heard from many of you and rarely I have received a nasty comment. But sometimes the effort is not worth.

Now, more than a year since I opened this blog, I must close it.

Why? The answer is simply clear: TIME. Time is too valuable to be wasted. Time for my family. Time for me. Time to do other things and time to solve problems.

Probably this is not a long good-bye, but a see you later.

It's been a great ride.

Take care, my friends. All of you.

All the best.

This is Hell

Well, this is what I call a splash-page. There's a big scenery full of action. You can see almost each and every figure doing something. You can see archers, little demons falling from walls, big trolls opening paths, wing-demons flying like dragons... It's something similar to the Massive computer software used by Weta Digital for doing battles in the Lord of the Rings' saga, but hand-done.
And it's a bloody hard work, I can tell you, but as Hellina says, it's beautiful!

Road to nowhere...

This page is my least favorite of the whole lot. The selection of shots is very simple. They're mostly talkong-heads. But everything has an explanation: the deadline was very near and I was saving some time to be able to draw the following page. When I'll post it, probably you'll know why.

Something happened on the way to hell

Sandra Lords is Hellina, but she doesn't know. Or she doesn't remember. Or whatever.
The fact is: if you press the right button in the right time, she'll remember everything. But if you press it in a wrong time, you may loose your head.
Curious case of button, indeed!

It's in his kiss

I really love in this page the kiss sequence. I think that it appears in a natural, simply way, but at the same time it reflects the disgust that she feels on being kissed (you can almost feel devil's tongue in her mouth, but as the old song says "hug him and squeeze him tight. Find out what you want to know If it's love, if it really is, It's there: in his kiss").
The last panel is pure Giger.
I wouldn't like that he was decorating my house...

Little big... horns

Second page from Hellina.
Continuing the story, in a splash-page appears a great red horned guy (I suppose that he's red ... at least, he's horned) threatening our heroine. Curiously, Hellina's room-mate continues sleeping so placidly.
That little things from comic-books, you know...

What the Hell do I know?

Another Hellina short story (10 pages). Written by Doug Myers. Threshold #50. April 2003. Avatar Press. I enjoyed so much drawing these pages. When we reach the next one, you'll see how much.
Really.
