Summery drawings

A couple of drawings for drawing's sake after finalizing, marketing and selling my comic book :)

I drew the first one for a sad occasion, as a tribute to Bud Spencer (alias Carlo Pedersoli), Hungary's - and of course his native Italy's - favourite action hero in the 1980s. he passed away in the end of June, in the highly respectable age of 87.

Just a random doodling, but may feature in a fanzine one day :) (fanzines are quite hip in Hungary these days on a subcultural level).

Finally,  a fanart for Hungary's big comic book sensation this year (yes, even bigger than Corvin ;) ). Kittenberger (https://www.facebook.com/Kittenberger)  is a steampunk comic loosely based on facts about a hunter and scientist roaming Africa and getting involved in some ugly events in Belgian Congo in the 1900s. Here's Feri Ács, one of his adventurer sidekicks, whose name is borrowed from a classic youth novel. 

Have I mentioned that I published my first comic book recently?

It is called Corvin, you may have seen here a few pages from it during the last couple of years.... :)

 I am fully aware that the project dragged on for a long time, so this year I decided to complete Issue 1 with (much more than) a little help from my friends, just in time for the Budapest Comics Festival held on May 8 at Dürer Kert (which is a concert venue and club, transformed from my old university campus, if you like fun facts).

Here's me, selling the good stuff at my stall. I must say that talking to prospective customers and signing copies is great fun, so I'm going to do it again - hopefully the same time next year.

And some of the good stuff itself. Only in Hungarian for the time being, but I'm going to make an English version soon online, to practice my newly acquired Photoshop lettering skills. Stay tuned and let me know if you would like to have a copy!

First Batch of Drawings, 2016

Some fanart, paying hommage to Craig Thompson's fantastic new graphic novel, Space Dumplins.

 
For something completely different, an improvised warrior's portrait. Been reading some fantasy novels lately.

To round it up for today, Space Dumplins in full colour.
 

Magic Dust and Yelling

Here's to you page 16, right before February is over. Just sayin', we're nearly at the length of a comic book now ;o)

Panel 1
Kaspar: Now, each of you get out a bit of magic dust, and let’s fly back to the Count!
Panel 2
Thug with moustache: Oh no, I already puked on the way here!
Chubby thug: The Count will be furious with us for blowing this!
Younger thug: Let’s stay here instead and become hermits!
Panel 3
Kaspar (yelling): COME ON!
Panel 4
One of thugs: Alright boss, just quit yelling, please!
Kaspar: Dust drizzles, magic flies us away, Shoo, it’s wiser not to stay!
Panel 6
Rider. Holy jeez, lightning strikes!
George: Hell no, the rascals have opened a passage gate!
 

In the Woods Somewhere

So, here's the first Corvin page of the year. Promising start if you ask me.

Panel 3
George: As if the ground swallowed them!
Rider: Is that possible at all, sir?
Panel 4
Kaspar: They are finally leaving, the xx@#&!

Kaspar's exact words are left to everyone's imagination. Next page is already in the works, so stay tuned! 

Happy Belated New Year!

It was up as early as New Years Day on Facebook (yes, the disease is still alive), check out the Corvin page if you doubt it ;)
Speaking of Corvin, we're one more page into the story, to be seen here soon. 2016 will be rockin it, Folks!
