Comic Cover Comission

This was a cover comic comission for the 3rd All Women´s Edition by the Gathering, which is an anthology created by Grayhaven Comics. The cover concept was to portray American women through the ages, so left to right you have - 20s, 40s, 60s and 80s below. The mother painted with the warm hues is representing a contemporary woman.

Tools: mechanical pencil, black pen, photoshop + tablet.

Steampunk comic comission

First page

Pages two and three

"Sword, Sweat and Steam" is a three-page steampunk comic comission for Grayhaven´s Comics, written by Robert Mackenzie and David Walker and illustrated by me. This comic was REALLY challenging for me to draw, since it involved quite difficult page format to work with and I was undergoing some personal issues. But I tried my best, so I hope you enjoy it =)
Tools: Black pen, black markers, grey areas colored digitally.

Angeles meditando

This collage is part of a class assignment for university. I did it a couple of months ago, but I wasn´´t really sure if it was worth showing it in the blog. However, I have grown quite attached to it, so I decided to finally upload it. I had specially put attention to the color scheme and the concept.
Measurements: 45 x 57 cm
Collage out of magazine´s pictures.

Orquideas

This painting was really difficult , I had to change the woman´s face was many times before being pleased with it. The concept shifted along with the changes of the facial expression and the feelings I wanted to convey. I also tried to be to be more spontaneous with the brushstrokes and the color combination . By the way, the red - in one of the hands- is a little more subtle and really pasty in reality.

Tools: Oils in MDF

64,5 x 30,0 cm

El Enigma de los Lirios

A comic done for a contest around january-february 2013. Situated in the late middle ages/early renaissance.

Done mostly in traditional tools, except for the large black areas that were painted digitally.

Self-control

This is painting was done for a class assignement, in which we were allowed  freedom to use any technique, except oils. Unfurtunately, I had a terrible time with acrylics, specially in the beggining, towards the ending the painting got a little easier since I managed to learn how to blend the colors a bit more, with the help of an acrylic medium that acted as a retarder, and some youtube videos.

Tools: acrylics in cardboard , 46 x 57 cm
