Alien

It’s that time you’ve all been waiting for: a new Mike and Carla jam! This time, we decided to pay homage to the Alien movie series. I very recently re-watched the quadrilogy with Pedro (it was an awesome re-watch, and Alien is still my favorite of the four), so doing the Alien-related jam was extra cool.

This is my piece, check out Mike’s over here (hint: it’s awesome!).

Game of Thrones - Joffrey

Here my part of An Art Jam of Ice and Fire with the always brilliant Mike Horowitz. We had to draw a character and their corresponding sigil. My piece was late, but Mike delivered and awesome rendition of Jojen Reed last week, so if you haven’t seen it yet, make sure you go to his tumblr and check it out.

I love Game of Thrones - both the series and the books (I’m currently reading A Dance With Dragons) - and the hard part was deciding which character to draw. I’ve drawn Ned Stark, Jon Snow and Jamie Lannister in the past, so I wanted to try someone new. I ended up picking Joffrey, because he’s just so damn hateable. I think we all love to have that one character we hate, and for me that’s Joffrey. He’s just so cruel and twisted, I can’t stop myself from hating him with every fiber of my being. That being said, I had fun drawing him!

I just had to resist adding in a speech bubble to make him say “I’m a little shit”.

Stay tuned for more future drawing jams between me and Mike!

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!
