Kim Pine

I sketched Kim Pine a few days ago. I really need to practice drawing girls!

Commission - Individeos

Over the past few days I’ve been working on a big commission. I did it for the awesome portuguese production company Individeos, of which my friend João Leitão is a partner. He asked me to draw himself and the other 3 Individeos partners riding dinosaurs on the moon. It was a really fun concept, so I had a blast drawing this. The guys dug it as well, so I’m a happy camper. Since I’m so happy, I’ll share the preliminar sketches, the flats and the final look of this piece.

This was one of the first sketches. Messy pencils all around.

This version is a little cleaner, and the layout is a little more defined.

Here are the color flats.

Final version.

Hope you dig it!

Someday we'll find the rainbow connection

Festival MAB

Last weekend, I was at a small comics festival that took place in my hometown, and I drew stuff for whoever wanted it. I always love drawing for people, and hanging out with my art buddies, which is something I can’t do very often, so it was a good day. Here are a couple of photos and sketches I drew while I was there.

Our small gang of artists - Fil, Manuel Alves, Ana Oliveira, Pedro Carvalho and me.

Me and Pedro, drawing away! God, I need a haircut.

I don't know what's wrong with my face, but I'm drawing a zombie.

Here a page with two zombies: one drawn by Pedro (bottom) one by me (top), for our friend Rui Alex.

This zombie was drawn for the very nice Paulo Brito.

Here's me and Pedro doing our part on setting up our gerrilla Zona art exhibit!

Basically, I drew a lot of zombies.

Misfits - Nathan

I loved the first two seasons of Misfits - a fantastic show that you should be watching, if you're not doing that already. Nathan Young is pretty much one of the best, funniest characters ever, so here's a quick drawing of him.

Enjoy, and make sure you watch Misfits!

A Garagem de Kubrick 38

I went ahead and translated the latest page from the webcomic I draw, A Garagem de Kubrick, for your viewing pleasure. Don't forget to fullview! Hope you dig it :)

Han and Chewie

I did this piece for a special event (Tertúlia de BD de Lisboa - a monthly dinner where a lot of active portuguese comic fans and creators gather to eat, draw and talk) on which I was a special guest this month.

Han and Chewie, everybody! Me and Pedro have been revisiting the Star Wars saga, so when I sat down to draw, this immediately came to mind.

I apologize for not updating the blog in a while, but I've been working on a lot of stuff that I can't show right now. Good news is that in a little while I'll have a whole new batch of comics to show!
