Black moor...

... or black telescope, it's the common black goldfish you can see more or less in every fishtank: here there is my Mermay 20, this elegant curvy beaury ready for a prom.

Muraena helena

My mermay 19, inspired by a picture on one of my father's books where, as I child, I used to see the 'smiling fish' Muraena helena

Physalia physalis mermaid

Latley Physalia physalis is always in the news because of an invasion she is doing of the southern Spain coasts, so it came naturally to me to draw a Physalia physalis medmaid as a MerMay day 17.

Cyprinus carpio mermaid

Oooops! Maybe this little Chinese princess butterfly koi mermaid messed up something.

Here there is my MerMay 16.

Cephalopterus Manta mermaid

Keeping on without being able to be up at the day

MerMay 11 Steampunk Periophthalmus argentilineatus

Periophthalmus argentilineatus is a little fish a.k.a mudskipper because of its habit of go out the water and spend some time in the mud. For this peculiar fish I imagined a steampunk mermaid and drawed it in crayons, pantone, and coffee spreaded by a make-up brush since in my new home I didn't brought my watercolour brushes at the moment.

Hello Mr. Mom - MerMay 6

From wiki: "The male seahorse is equipped with a pouch on the ventral, or front-facing, side of the tail. When mating, the female seahorse deposits up to 1,500 eggs in the male's pouch. The male carries the egg until the seahorses emerge fully developed"

Hippocampus mermaid: Mr. Mom

Lemmy

From my moleskine, drawed almost two years ago, but I preferred not to share at that time, here there is a portrait of Lemmy Kilmister, in crayons and pantone.

Jaime the pirate

Pencil sketch inspired by a pic of my facebook friend and incredible artist Jamie. Sooner or later I'll make an illustration of it.

And if your are about to ask, no, he wasn't dressed as a pirate in the original pic.

Little dragon

Just a random illustration made in a flu day. 

Pulpos

The other day I was at the Aquarium for a visit, and sort of became friend of these little guys.

Some sketches again

And here there are some sketches again. Characters will come soon, very soon, and pieces of information will come with them, but now it's still time for some background preparatory work.

Hut -sketch

Hi there!
It's a very hard working time here at Fedzeppelin's place, I and Sara are working on a new steampunk project. You'll have some detalils and some new characters soon but in the meanwhile here there is a sketch for one of the backgrounds.
I hope you enjoy.

Page 27 WIP 2: pencil

Very busy period at Fedzeppelin's place. I've just the time to drop here the second part of the WIP.
As you can see, something has changed from the layout page and I can assure you: it always happens.
Hope you enjoy.

Dossier's cover and title

Some translation's revisal still to do, but our dossier is ready to go now. So it's time to unveil the title of our project. You can see it on the cover I and Sara made together.
The idea was to give te cover a look like some ancient papier with a touch of modern, we wanted to show all the main characters and the centre of our story that is the watch in the picture.
I hope you enjoy :)

By the way, there sill be another page sooner or later, so stay tuned ;)

Pierre's shop WIP

Here there is another study for our project, this time it's up to the toys shop owned by Pierre and his "little" brother Zacharie. I'm not totally sure the illustration is plain, but you can see two rooms: the real shop and the laboratory where Zacharie, Pierre and Marie make their experiments with mechanical engineering.

This one too (as Marie's room) will be digital rough coloured but I don't know when.

Now it's time to come back to my pages. Next time it will be villain's time :)

The witch's house WIP 1 - Pencil

Since I am folling in love with the work in progress posts on the blogs of my mignature-paniter friends, I decided to do the same with an illustration I am working on.

This time it's up to the house of the witch from Hansel and Gretel's fairy tale.
She used to live in the wood in a house made of cakes, sweets, and so on; in this way she lured kids who she used to feed on.

So, here there is my cake-house in the wood; first step: pencil.

Battlefield

It seems that today is Ragnarök: according the Norse mythology the world will end today in the final battle between gods.

So that should be the perfect day to share a picture of a battlefield painted with crayons and digital colours.

Enjoy.

In the meanwhile I go and fetch my axe.

I will be ready!
