Gosh, those updates used to happen a lot more often. Though I do not post every newly done page any more, as I'm saving those for the follow-up to the overly successful printed book I published two years ago. Here's a peek of the latest finished page, anyway:
The good news there is only about five more to go, so there is a good likelihood of Corvin Issue 2 premiering at Budapest's end-of-year comics fair.
The likelihood is even raised by a real strict new editor on board :-)
The main antagonist will feature a lot in the issue to come, and he also has a special ability to look sharply and disapprovingly. So let's pin our hopes on this reinforced Strict Department now ;-)
I.e. drawing for money - yessir! Back in May I was asked to make a cover picture for a life coach's Facebook page. It was a fun little job.
I'll keep it brief this time, and just show you the three main phases of work:
The first sketch, just to make sure I got right what the client had in mind - the first two panels resemble a well-known meme for a reason.
Final penciled version, cat curling up in a harmonious position.
The end product as it now appears on the Facebook page, inked and lettered with logo and artist's signature.
Let me know if you need a similar one ;-)
Though it may not be exactly kicking, I have made a few drawings this year, and been working on my Corvin comic too. Pity I get to update this blog so rarely these days...
So, let's see the miscellany this time around.
At first, a little idle sketch, just for fun. Giacomo's (i.e. Casanova, the famous 18th century ladies' man's) jakuzzi. Why? Because the two words alliterate. B O O M.
Next up, another fun one, started completely spontaneously. These doodles can turn out rather well, though it is not easy to recreate and elaborate them in a more conscious manner. Anyway, here is Sulejman the Magnificent, Sultan of the Ottoman Empire, juxtaposed against my sketchbook, and a Will Eisner fanart made by the very talented Canadian artist, Scott Chantler.
Now, some more serious efforts. i.e. fanarts of one of my current favourite comics, the French sci-fi classic Valerian and Laureline. First, male protagonist Valerian walking in a door in the second book of the series, called The City of Shifting Waters.
Then, the biggest effort in this post, female protagonist Laureline trying to make sense of a certain situation in Book 7, On The False Earths.
Lastly, the most grim one topics-wise, a strip inspired by the outcome of Hungary's elections in April. I drew this right before going to a big protest in Budapest, attended by roughly 100,000 people who thought it was not right that the governing party seized a 2/3 parliamentary majority once again by getting only 48% of all votes. The last panel is quite wishful, I admit that.
