desert bug!



first thing i drew on the cintiq, right out of the package.
it is a problem how close on some area you can focus... 
takes some getting used to.

...

primera cosa que dibuje para estrenar la cintiq
puede ser un problema cuan cerca puedes trabajar en algo...
cuesta acostumbrarse.

golden cave bug


another painterly one; just been trying out those new brushes for the last 3 days.
boy, the cintiq is fast!

...

otro tipo pictórico; llevo 3 dias dandole a estos nuevos pinceles.
mira que es rapida la cintiq!

desert trodd


this guy i drew earlier this summer, sitting on a spider.
i guess he's going to different places!
another one done with new brushes; i was going for a pencil-like finish here. 
it's strange to match the painterly rendering with the clear line artwork.

...

a este le dibuje en verano, montado en una araña.
parece que se mueve!
otro hecho con pinceles nuevos; iba por un acabado tipo lápiz.
es raro combinar el acabado pictórico con la linea clara del dibujo.

at the mountain top!


trying a more painterly approach with some new brushes (photoshop). 
the cintiq really allows for a lot more on this field than the intuos i've used since 2004.
and it's more fun!

...

probando un estilo mas pictórico con nuevos pinceles (photoshop).
la cintiq es mas permisiva en este terreno que la intuos que llevaba usando desde 2004.
y es mas divertido!

JOE KUBERT TRIBUTE



here's another tribute to the late great Joe Kubert.

I portrayed some of the characters he worked on, the ones i remember the most.
it seems easy to draw this characters after he did them, i think it might be because he infused a lot of his own character on each one, making them recognizable and unforgettable.

he only had a short run on Tex, that i'm aware off, but is some of the best western comics i've seen.
the Tor short stories i like very, very much, specially the silent ones.
of course Sgt. Rock and Hawkman are his most iconic and popularly referenced DC characters, but my favorite action book is Enemy Ace, layouts and compositions in the book are just amazing.
i really liked Fax From Sarajevo and was very struck by his pencil work on Yossel.

i love all his stuff, but my favorite Joe Kubert art overall is the raw pencil work of Yossel and Dong Xoai, which are fairly recent books and prove that the man was better and better every year which is something to aspire to.

this is an entirely digital piece which happens to be quite large and detailed.
i recommend looking at the larger version of the image.

this piece started as a loose sketch drawing of the kubert characters, just thinking about him and later became a piece on it's own as i enjoyed portraying each one, noticing the similarities between their characters.
i include here the loose sketch line state and the delineated state of the piece.
perhaps on the sketch state more of the Kubert influence can be appreciated in the facial expressions and looser lines.

this powerful and expressive artist had an amazing career, if you haven't take a minute to examine his work when you have a chance.

His immense output, his teachings and his carrer, are sources of true inspiration.

JEAN GIRAUD MOEBIUS






JEAN GIRAUD 'MOEBIUS'
Desgraciadamente, hoy falleció una de las personas cuya obra más me importó jamás.
Jean Giraud, un artista, siempre con el mejor momento creativo de su carrera todavía por llegar;
Aún su masivo e influyente legado me sabe a poco, y me desconsuela, sólo pensar en lo necesario de sus obras venideras. Ya que nos deja sin conocer las nuevas fronteras que su genuina espiritualidad, su pionera imaginación y su inigualable sensibilidad estaban siempre por descubrir.

Hoy muchas ideas se quedan sin su padre.
Muchos artistas sin el mejor de los ejemplos.

Mi pésame a su familia.


Xurxo G. Penalta

JEAN GIRAUD 'MOEBIUS'


Unfortunately, today passed away one of the people who's work has mattered to me the most.
Jean Giraud, an artist, who always kept the peak of his creative career ahead of him; 
Even his massive and influential legacy seems insufficient, and i'm saddened thinking of how necessary his upcoming works were. Since we're left without access to the new frontiers that his genuine spirituality, his pioneering imagination and his incomparable sensibility were always about to discover.
Many ideas are left fatherless today.
Many artists without the best of examples.

My condolences to his family.
