New illustration for Anna Mercury Artbook.
Pencilled half way inked, fully inked and colored by Digikore.
I drew 5 illus for this Artbook.
I'll post them litlle by little.

Hell-Work in progress (II)

Another illustration of the great red guy. I have played with several roughs until I agree with this figure.
The idea is to take advantage of the red color of a cardboard to "shape" Hellboy's face directly with ink and crayon.
A graphical experiment that I hope you like.
Still working on it...

Brand New Anna

Three moments of an illustration.
First, the rough sketch.
Second, the definitive drawing, with the same concept but changing some details and the whole figure of Warren Ellis' Anna Mercury.
Third, the illustration colored by Digikore (great work!).
You can find this one and other magnificent illustrations of great artists like Richard Ortiz, Facundo Percio, my friend Juanjo RyP or Paul Duffield in the Anna Mercury Artbook edited by Avatar Press.
Don't miss it!

The daltonic colorist

"Another Conan's face" as was published in the #53 of the Spanish edition of Conan the Barbarian.
I really don't know the name of the colourist, but I do not like the way in wich he gave the colors.
There is no depth in the jungle. Rarely I have seen a blue sea serpent and water of green color.
I am sure you can make it better.
The original b/w illustration is here.

From the dead (8-8)

Well, the last page isn't among my favorites. I had to hurry many things to close the chapter, and the 6 panels turn out to be a bit confused. Into the original size, the lines are much clearer. But I realize that I must have lightened the details to grant major clarity to the set. Many suggested things stay, others remaine outlined, and the sensation of urgency invades what till then had been a good narrative.

From the dead (7-8)

Battle was coming to an end. It continued to rage for long hours. The warriors were brave, and ferocious, but... how to defeat a dead army?
And now, Slam-Kath, the lord of the frozen lands, is coming towards you.
Can you feel the cold, cruel, insane air that surrounds him?

From the dead (6-8)

The ferocious battle of good vs evil.
The battle axe vs the allmighty sword.
A very dark, strong and dynamic page, where each panel have his own personality, creating powerful provocative montage.
