Mermay 7

This time I choose an African fish: the Noceratodus forsteri a.k.a. dipnoo and gave her an art nouveau touch.

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"

MerMay day 5

Don't mess with the Lobster warrior mermaid.

MerMay part 1

Contrary to whatever is wise for a person with a handful of deadlines getting closer, I decided to take part to MerMay 2018.
Of course I'm a bit late, but I'm forcing myself to recoup the time lost, even if, at the moment, I just have 4 sketch out of 8 that should be today.
Since I was in need of a theme to get inspiration, I decided that to me this one is the 'strange fishes' mermaids month too.
At the end of the month I think I'll choose 12 of them to deisgn as proper illustrations.
But, for the moment, here there are my first 4 strange mermaids.

Torpedo torpedo Mermaid

Pterois antennata mermaid

Lactoria cortuna Mermaid

Lagocephalus scleratus mermaid

Being for the Benefit of Mr. Kite!

I'm trying to add some new arts at my portfolio for kids and, in the meanwhile, to improve my collage style, so here there is a sort of re-draw (more properly a reinterpretation) of a very old illustration I made back in 2011 (you can see it here).

As you can guess from the title of the post, the idea is a tribute to a Beatles' song.

Art vs artist

My first artvsartist... look at my dumb face in the center -_-

NO!

Waiting for Maruxaina

Maruxaina is a blond haired mermaid who, according to Galician legends, uses to live in the Xan Vello cave in the Farallóns islands, alluring mariners with her beauty and her voice. 

Since it's being a while I'm planning an illustration dedicated to her, it's time for me to become a bit more familiar with merimaids' anatomy. So here there is a preparatory doodle that probably will be cleaned and coloured while I make my mind on how exactly I want to picture this blond fish-lady

O vagalume

Finally in my spare time I did this: "good night! I'm the firefly" it's saying.

New baby is coming

Something is boiling in the pot. The current time is busy: I'm working for the very new publisher SouthEast Comics (my issue of the superhero series Alfa will be out more or less about next Christmas), and doing some colour art for another steampunk project I'll tell you something about in the future, and waiting news about an old project to come to life... but there is no rest for the wicked and so here I'm with a personal solo project. 

I'm still at the very beginning, but something is coming out and I can't help to share the work in progress of a panel in the page 2 of the dossier.

Who entered the pub of the village surprising so hard people in there? 

The mai character of this project and I hope to introduce him soon to you.
