-Scouting around in the 'drawers' of my computer I run into these three.
I thought it would be cool to compose them together as they are the three stages (not stooges) of page 19 of old Mrs youknowwhat's adventures.
-By the way, around the time I was publishing my graphic novel in this blog we went one day on a sketchclub session, and guess who was there eating at the restaurant. That young lady looked so much like the character in the comic I couldn't believe it.
-YES. Even nostalgia can be updated.
As Shuku was mentioning in her comment about 'El Diablo's" italian shoes, here is another key moment in what happened 'that night in and around Hollywood' (©) to our young and daring friend... entering the "Palm Reading" shop.
EEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!!!! Miss Trouble! Marcos, it's just lovely to see her again. I miss her you know! And the stages are lovely to watch - gives a better idea of the process behind her and to watch her come to life...mmm, -lovely-. Nostalgia, absolutely!
ReplyDeleteSee, you even had a real life Miss Trouble to look at in Sketchclub - I wonder if there's an El Diablo running around with nice expensive shoes...
--Shuku
Missing Miss Trouble!
nice skethes man, be sure this is one of my favourite' blogs.
ReplyDeleteTension!
ReplyDeleteQuite effective Marcos.
I really feel the weight of the command "your hands please?"
Thanks to the last panel with the intimidating eyes
Marcos, I hope you kept all of your first pass versions of the comic and will post them some day. That rough page is just gorgeous, so expressive! The guy in shadow is even scarier than in the final stage.
ReplyDeletegreat work man i really enjoy your blog!
ReplyDeleteWow! ¿Es que todo lo haces bien? el comic tambien? y encima haces que parezca facil, casi como rough, que te ha salido solo en un par de minutos... dime que no sabes cocinar, o planchar, o algo... jajaja! que chulo, man! :)
ReplyDeleteYa no se ni que decir, me encantan, sobre todo los apuntes sueltos.
ReplyDeleteY los juegos con los amarillos muy efectistas, una pasada.
Saludos.
Wonderful, I really enjoyed this graphic novel of yours. Your work never ceases to inspire me ... composition, design, color, ink...YOU the man! And, you can sing karaoke!
ReplyDeleteMe gusta especialmente el segundo, aun sin dar color, tienes una tinta tan potente que en blanco y negro es como mejor se ve.
ReplyDeletePor cierto el post anterioir es buenisimo, el de las locomotoras
-Shuku! I knew you would like this one!
ReplyDeleteAs far as the process is concerned, I believe this page was the most elaborate one. Usually I did a quick pencil thumbnail and then do the ink business on my sketchpad.
As I mentioned a few times I came up with this comic story to be "free again" so I tried to avoid too many steps and constrains.
-Thanks a bunch 'Pumpkin'!
-Thanks Jamal, that was quite a turn in the events, I tried to make sure the whole mood, light, color, would be up to express that as much as I could.
-Ale! your question about the 'first pass' is answered in the first paragraph. Interesting point about the 'scarier' guy, although I "mellowed" the face down a bit in the final version because he is supposed to be one of the good guys, otherwise the entrance with 'El Diablo' would have lost power.
Good hearing from you! Hope all is well in Torino!
-Thanks Georges!
-Stranded! Muchas gracias por la visita y el comentario!
-Muchas gracias Miguel, como comentaba antes, en este punto de la historia las cosas cambiaban y entrabamos en una nueva zona de peligro y una situacion mas bien surrealista.
-Marcelo! Thank you very much! (What? me karaoke? me?? never heard of that!)
-Muchas gracias Guillermo, encantado de tu visita!
Wow very beautiful! Everyone of these pieces! I love the one at the bottom with the two women ... its amazing!
ReplyDeleteThe picture with the girls back is so great man. You have a fantastic feeling for composition.
ReplyDeletewoah! i really like the mood, the orange in the first panel goes out of the page!

About the girl, I -had- to draw her, she was so much like the main character in my story it was actually funny.
-Cheers Flaviano, it was a moment of 'emotional impact' in the story, I needed to do something radical with it visually as well!
-Helen, thanks for the comment.
I hadn't inked in many years by then and it was a blast to get 'in touch' with it again...
