Julien WIP

And here there is our main character: Julien.
Please note that this time Sara had to work even harder this time: she had to draw the legs I didn't draw too. As always a very very good job of my collegue :)

Sloth and snake

Just a quick test-sketch required by a potential contractor.

Fingers crossed ;)

Zacharie WIP

Here there is another character from the project I am working on.

This is Zacharie, Pierre's brother.

As usual, the ink-art is by Sara.

Two bears

Some day ago che local section of WWF asked me for donate them a little illustration they could print on some gadget for self-financing.

Of course I've been glad to do something like that.

Here there is my illustration in two version: the black and white one and the coloured one.

Some explanation for who is not from Abruzzo: the bear on the left is a Marsican brown bear that is a bear who lives in Abruzzo's mountains. The one on the right is of course a Panda bear.

Marie WIP

We are going on with the project, so here I am showing a little bit more.

Let me introduce you Marie, the girl-friend of Pierre you met some days ago.

This time is my honour to show you the whole process of creating Marie, in this way you can see how hard is the ink work Sara have done.

On the left side of the two pictures you can see the original Marie: the ones I drawed with pencil. Then in the center, you can see how she can look more beautiful after Sara's ink work. On the right side there is the finished work: Marie digital coloured by me.

Trivia: Marie looks like our friend and collegue Marika who is a pretty good illustrator (you can see her deviantart here) and the perfect muse for the character.

Steampunk arm

Just a sketch of a steampunk arm drawed with pencil:

Pierre

Here I go again, we were speaking about characters and here we are, let me introduce you one of the main characters of the project I'm working on at the moment. It's still at the first step, so let me keep a bit of mistery about it.
Anyway I promised to keep you informed and there we are.
This is Pierre: a clumsy inventor in a steampunk world.

Important thing: this is a team work: I made the drawing and the colour art and my collegue Sara (who is working on the script) made the ink work.

Please let me know your feedback.

Lady in green and red

During last weeks I have done some studies on characters for one project I am working on, I was not very satisfied on this one that didn't fit very much with the idea I had, so I rejected it from the project but I coloured it all the same and here there is:

The witch's house completed - colours

I am back again, after a long long time. I am sorry, but I working on some projects (and hoping they will be realized) so I have not much free time.
Anyway, finally, here there is the final step of the wich's house.
I decided to use bright colours that could give a sort of autumn look to the pricture and pastel colours for the house.
Hope you enjoy:

The witch's house WIP 2 - Ink

And here there is the second step: I re-drawed the illustration with black ink using a bic pen and trying to obtain thicker lines on the objects in the foreground and thinner ones in the backgroud so that the illustration has more depht.

Next step the final one: colour!
