Colors by Marcelo Maiolo (Demon Knights, I Vampire)

I´ve never drawn Darkseid professionally, but it´s a great villain, hope to get it in future works.

Adventure Comics #529 page 07

2011-08-10T07:46:00.000-07:00

Hi, friends!!

Adventure Comics #529 is the last issue if this title. I´ll really miss these all characters, but I´m sure they will appear in next Legion of Superheroes book after DC Relaunch.

Well, page below is #07, one of the pages that I loved to draw; I used the figures to help the reader to "walk around" the page.

I suppose I will post one more page from this issue and let´s wait for my new work for DC that I´m doing now.

Thank you so much for the comments and see you later!!

Hi, friends!! First of all, I´d like to thank everybody for happy birthday wishes!!

Second, Adventure Comics#528 will be available tomorrow in USA and once more I´ll have a page to show you. Below is my 1st layout, rejected by the editor, that said me it´s too boring, less dynamic; it is followed by my pencils using a new layout, varying the camera angle and the colored version (this time I won´t have a Marlo inks file :( )

Hope you like it! Best wishes,

Hi, dudes!!

After a long time without posts, I´m back :) And posting a page from Adventure Comics #527, which tells amazing character Comet Queen story. I love to draw this page, its flow and composition, inspired by Phil Jimenez page designs; I´ve tried to put all action needed on this sequence and use contrast very much.

Hope you like it!! See you later (but not so later - :) )

Wonder Woman #608 page 01

2011-03-09T05:06:00.000-08:00

Hi, guys!

As you know, Wonder Woman#608 is out today. And I´m posting a step-by-step process of page 01 from this issue. You noted this layout is a little bit different to finished page. Editor Brian Cunningham and writer Phil Hester suggested to flip the page and put lion´s head destroyed last issue on the foreground.

Hope you like it.

Best,

Superman#705 sets

2010-12-09T06:22:00.001-08:00

Hi, dear friends!!

Just an interlude to Adventure Comics stuff. Between Adv Comics #521 and #522 works, I had the opportunity to help great artist Wellington Diaz drawing sets for Superman#705. Wellington has sent me his layouts and, over them, I have built all sets. I was not credited for this work (I´m a ghost penciller here), but it was a great challenge... comics are not just amazing fights and action poses, draw houses, cars, trees and so on is so much important than that, it´s the thing that throw the reader inside the story.

Best wishes and more AC#521 for the next post!!

Justice League: the Rise of Arsenal#04 - part 01

2010-06-24T11:30:00.000-07:00

Hi, guys!! How are you? I hope everybody will be fine :^)
Rise of Arsenal#04 is in the comic shops now and, following the tradition, I´m posting a step-by-step production of a page from this issue. This time, on of the best scenes that I´ve drawn for this mini: a double page showing a fight between Ollie and Roy. Take a look...
The mini ends here, but I hope to meet all of you on another story. I´d like to thank JT Krul for writing good sequences, Marlo for the patience, and Brian and Sean (the editors) for all support and kind words.

JLA: the Rise of Arsenal#03 - part 03

2010-06-02T07:53:00.000-07:00

Dear friends,

This time I would like to talk about choices of storytelling in comics.

This page is an example: in this scene, Arsenal is over drugs effect, and he saw Lian (but she´s not there, it´s an imagination) and I decided to put Roy full of shadows, darker, and Lian a little lighter, creating a contrast between them. It´s like showing the reader that actually Lian wasn´t there, graphically speaking.

Credits: pencils by me, inks by Marlo Alquiza

Thanks for comments and see you later...

JLA: the Rise of Arsenal#03 part 02

2010-06-01T05:25:00.000-07:00

Hey, guys. I´m posting one of the best sequences that I´ve drawn in my life, a Batman/Arsenal fight (thanks, Mr. Krul). It was a challenge, cos´these pages would be the most intense part of this issue. One of these pages was inspired in Paul Gulacy´s fight sequences.

Red Arrow studies

2010-01-12T06:19:00.000-08:00

As you know (if you don´t know, you will know now), I´m doing a limited series called Justice League: the Rise of Arsenal, and the main character of this story is Red Arrow. This sequence is a study for the character, and I decided to ink and color it.
See you later!!

Jonah Hex

2009-12-09T10:37:00.000-08:00

Well, if so many great creators are working with Jonah Hex, like Jordi Bernet and Darwyn Cooke, I feel myself obligated to do a piece of this character...

Ok, ok... the actual reason is a kind of thanking Jimmy Palmiotti by your Sexy Monday post in his blog :)

This piece was made using a bamboo tablet, no paper.

Best and see you later!

Green Arrow step-by-step

2009-10-16T07:49:00.000-07:00

... and finally the final piece!!! Wow, I´m really tired after this post :) See you later!!!

The background set final pencils and...

I started to refine the pencils and drew the 1st plane building and Green Arrow.

Next step: using a light table, I defined the background set but that´s not the final pencils.

Over my Green Arrow pose, I pasted a lot references using many photos and drawings.

Third step: I used building models from Google Sketchup, turned the camera view according to layout below and put my Green Arrow sketch pose.

Then I sketched a Green Arrow pose more detailed

First of all, a rough done using a genius tablet.

Noite (Night)

2009-08-18T11:01:00.001-07:00

Noite is a character created by Daniel Brandão, great artist and friend of mine, whose stories had a noir mood, full of violence and action. Noite was a antihero that made justice with his own hands. My tribute for this character and for this artist, and I hope Daniel write and draw more Noite´s stories... See you later!!
