LASERAW . CRYSTAL CANALS

This is page 1 of Laseraw - Crystal Canals, a 5 page story I've done that will appear as a backup on an upcoming issue of Prophet, which is Brandon Graham's fascinating sci-fi book from Image Comics.

I'll post the issue number as soon as I find out.

some process stages:

line art

sketched page

 thumbnail

low toxicity suit

this one i drew trying out the cintiq.

...

este lo dibuje probando la cintiq.

vintage card back alien back rider

vintage card back version of my alien back rider.

i just love the classic kenner star wars frame!

...

la ilustración de este verano en estilo vintage.

me encanta el classico marco de las figuras kenner de star wars! 

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.
