And when I say "just", I mean 3 days ago, but thats how long it took me to unwind and get with my feet back on the ground:<br />
<br />
YES, it was THAT good.<br />
<br />
I got like, a MILLION things to announce and tell, but I promised myself I wouldnt allow myself more than 10 mins online today (LOADS and LOADS of pages to do), so I'm just posting the smaple pages I had the pleasure and privilege of showing to CB Cebulski, of Marvel fame. He liked them apparently ;)<br />
As usual, open on separate tab to see them MUCH bigger.<br />

Most of my output were illustrations for prints, posters and covers, PLUS a dream project of mine, 2 exploitation movie-inspired sleazy pin-ups for a Dark Horse book (!!!!!) written by the amazing Alex De Campi: Grindhouse.<br />

Doing these 2 was particularly brilliant, since I could feel how years of unconditional love for anything B and '70s were finally paying off.<br />
<br />
First one is inspired by Italian Giallos, with even the title being a personal injoke about how after the first seven movies by Dario Argento the genre imploded already, followed by a last wave of minor but definitely enjoyable (in youre into that kind of shit) sleazy nudie flicks.<br />
<br />
The second is more Cormanesque in its mood, the main idea being a prostitute abused and left for dead by a gang of ex-con in the Lousiana bayou who gets her revenge by meat cleaver and... alligators!<br />
<br />
Then here's a small teaser for a BIG project coming soon from the Irish O'Brien Press. Cant say much at the moment BUT a full reveal will take place in a panel at the next DICE Convention in Dublin, on Sept. the 28th. also, prints from which this teaser illo is taken will be available for sale, I believe.<br />

At the same convention Darrin O'Toole -the writer of the GLIMMER MAN book I just drew- and I will also be selling prints of the characters. 2 designs available; the one from the cover of issue 1 (which, BTW, proved SO popular):</div>

<br />
The book has been out of a while now so I dont think its gonna be a problem to post these.<br />
<br />
This is my first double-page spread for the story, pages 3 and 4. Open in new tab for bigger view.<br />

<br />
In what is starting to look like a suspiciously recurring pattern, Im back after a long absence. And to prove that I havent slacked around like the lazy bastard everybody seems to think I am, heres -finally- the first 3 pages from the project that I have been working on for this whole summer (and planning since even earlier) that I couldnt show until, basically, yesterday.<br />
<br />
The book is GLIMMER MAN #1, written by Darrin "dashing" O'Toole, edited and supervised by Rob "ravishing" Curley and drawn and lettered by "marvelous" me.<br />
<br />
What the guys wanted to achieve with the book was the genesis of a new kind of Irish superhero, respectful of the Lee/Kirby tradition but at the same time 100% historically accurate for a change. Darrin and Rob researched a LOT of WWII facts and anecdotes revolving around the overlooked role of Ireland in the last war, and I want to believe that I did my part of the job in illustrating it with a style that in my vision wanted to be nostalgic but "messed up" by a more modern inking. Posterity will judge if I failed miserably or kept my promises.<br />
<br />
The previews are unlettered, so if you want to know what the funny people are saying you still have to buy the book in Sub City Comics in Dublin, you cheap bastards you ;) Open them in a new tab for a bigger preview.<br />
<br />
Should be distributed soon in the UK too, Im told. I'll let you know when that happens.<br />
<br />
Over and out, and hopefully be back soon.<br />
<br />

<br />
Im doing the art for a miniseries of 3 for Atomic Diner. The book is "Glimmer Man", written by the always great Darrin O'Toole and published by Rob Curley, who also created the character.<br />
<br />
Expect: a fresh pulp sensation, action, drama, some ever-so-often-overlooked historical accuracy and the origin of Ireland's first super-hero ;)<br />
<br />
This is the first cover, Im also doing variants for all of the 3 issues, Ill show the one for issue 1 as soon as I get the OK from the publisher.<br />
<br />
The inspiration here were 70s exploitation movie poster, with a particular eye to the AMAZING ones commissioned by AIP.<br />
<br />

<br />
Anyway.<br />
<br />
Heres the 5 pages for a short story written by <a href="https://twitter.com/AdlaiM" target="_blank">@AdlaiM</a> that I really enjoyed myself doing. Even took the opportunity to experiment a bit on a new distressed halftone technique, a honour I usually bestow only to the finest of projects.<br />
<br />
No pencils this times, I inked directly from print size layouts, a process i found interesting, even if a bit more time-consuming than my usual thumbnailing. But thats just coz Im not used to visualise story-telling at that size right away. DEF wanna try it again.<br />

<br />
Havent been slacking off, I SWEAR. But more on that later.<br />
<br />
For now, heres a piece I did for The Half Past Danger Tribute week organised by the HUGELY talented dudes of the Sketch Paddys blog, to celebrate the week leading to the launch of the VERY promising Half Past Danger by Stephen Mooney, on IDW.<br />
<br />
Anyway, here it is!<br />

The names Scourge, not really familiar with the guy at all. Only thing I seem to remember, he appeared as a mystery villain towards the end of the original Busiek/Bagley Thunderbolts run quite some time ago, with different costume and powers.<br />
<br />
Since I didnt know the character well (I admit I picked him simply for the pulpy "Shadow" feel hes got) there was nothing too smart or creative I could do with the look, so I decided to use it more as a Photoshop exercise/practice than a proper drawing one.<br />
<br />
Thats it, basically. Played around with layers and stuff and I have to say, Im quite happier with the overall result than with the drawing itself, I have to say.<br />
<br />
Heres the scanned original, just to give you an idea of how much was on the pae and how much was done digitally (not too much, as usual):<br />

OF COURSE the first impulse was to indulge in the whole "Indiana-Jones'-nazis-adventure" kind of trope, but then I caught a glimpse of his bio and it said he was a Victorian gentleman and Im a huge fan of Hammer movies, so yeah -bye bye WWII nazi, welcome Phantom of The Opera with a Venice Carnival bat mask guy (also had a cool idea about the same mask for a Batman story, but I have a feeling thats gonna sit in my drawer for a loooong time).</div>

They asked artists for their own interpretation of Abe Sapien, an all-time fav of mine.</div>

I was in the middle of inking Dave's <a href="http://spectorsundays.blogspot.it/2013/04/inks.html" target="_blank">story</a> and I found out about the competition like, 2 days before the submissions closing date, but the opportunity was too big to pass coz they had Dark Horse editor Scott Allie (a guy with a GREAT taste in comics) and Mike Mignola (a guy with a GREAT taste in... everything) personally pick the winner.</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
Didnt care much about winning, but I REALLY wanted Scoot and Mike to look at my stuff (coz seriously, when else am I gonna show those guys my work?), and decide I was the best thing ever, and become best friends, and gimme all the comic jobs that exists.</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
<i>Somehow</i> that didnt happen. Probably coz a)the piece was rushed b)the other artists involved blew me away</div>
<div>

<div>
Oh well. </div>

Inked from bluelines printed on smooth Bristol with brush, nibs, pens and whatever else gets the job done.<br />
<br />
I have to say, I DONT completely hate'em, which is not uncommon.<br />
<br />
Also, Im preparing layouts for a short superhero sequence for portfolio review, in preparation of the next comic conventions season. <i>Ideally,</i> it shouldnt take too long and Id be able to post stuff soon.<br />
<br />
But again, ideally I should be working in the field right now, so yeah, theres that...<br />
<br />
Feeling a bit grumpy today. Got absolutely NOTHING to do with this great, fun short story, I swear ;)<br />
Mr. Hendrick, if you read this, thanx again for the trust and the countless pats on my back ;)<br />

Which means, finally theyre here.<br />
<br />
I posted a long/useless process entry some time ago, with explanations on how I work from layouts to preliminary sketches to finished pencils. Its <a href="http://spectorsundays.blogspot.co.uk/2012/12/come-closer-kids-and-ill-tell-you-more.html" target="_blank">here</a>.<br />
<br />
Well, now you can finally compare those with the finished pencils. Inks are coming too. "When?" You ask. Fuck you.<br />

Btw, Ive also been penciling pages for a 20-smthing pages long crime story that should be out hopefully this year from Markosia publishing. Its gonna be inked by somebody else, which is new for me an Im kinda curious/excited to see the final pages. Im basically 2/3rds into the pages, and once Im over, Im gonna post the whole thing here. Like, the whole story, from start to finish. Unlettered and not inked, but hey, better than nothing. </div>

PS: "And what about the pages?" - I hear you asking. I actually DID finish them, but I figured Id rather spend a couple more hours drawing today than scanning all that shit.LuCa P.http://www.blogger.com/profile/12031428753115651914noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3820545083885155188.post-41916047534506387512013-03-14T11:23:00.000+00:002013-03-14T11:23:13.491+00:00Nerd Invasion entriesI know, I know, I had promised pages, and I AM DOING THEM, I SWEAR!<br />
<br />
Hopefully sooner than expected Ill be able to post some stuff here.<br />
<br />
In the meanwhile, Nerd Invasion blog is up and running again, and this week the topic was COOL, man: Secret Avengers, a book I IMMENSELY enjoyed since fellow Italian Matteo Scalera started drawing it.<br />
<br />
Anyway, see my entries <a href="http://nerd-invasion.blogspot.co.uk/2013/03/not-so-secret-avengers.html" target="_blank">here</a>.<br />
<br />
See ya soon, yo.<br />

PAGES! And a lot of them!Been criminally absent from these shores for a while now.<br />
<br />
In my defense, you have no idea what PAIN and SUFFERING are if you never moved from one flat to another before. Took me more than two weeks to be back 100% operational in my new place. Plus, of course, an almost-penumonia which left me bed-ridden for more than a week. But now Im better.<br />
<br />
What have I been up to in the meanwhile? PAGES, finally!<br />
<br />
I finally got around a personal project of mine that MIGHT see the light earlier that I thought (at least in this) first incarnation and whaddayaknow, its the same project that gave this very blog its name:<br />
<br />
Ladies and gentlemen, without much further ado, I hereby introduce you to... SPECTOR! The trailer! Pencils and inks!<br />
<br />
Still not finished (the complete mini-story is 6 pages, so Im not THAT behind) and YES, that is my first two-pages spread, which took more time and pain to physically build and tape than actually draw...<br />
<br />
Id like to explain more the concept and inspiration of the whole thing, but if youre familiar with the AMAZING fellow Italian artist Francesco Francavilla and what hes doing with Black Beetle at the moment, well, my project basically comes from the same humid and pulpy backstreet of pop culture ;)<br />
<br />
Anyway!<br />

+ BONUS! Two pieces I did to get in the right mood BEFORE the mini story: it started with one simple scene, imagined as a one-page teaser/ad for the story, then I decided to do another as a story-telling exercise in how to tell the same sequence in a different way. Then I decided to color them coz hey, why not. My first proper foray in to coloring. Cant shake the feeling its a bit amatorial but they were fun. And just to keep with the exercise, lettering is on its way!</div>

Inspired by a series of Dvd reissues coming out these days here in Italy..<br />

Wont even bother explaining what is this about, either youre Italian and you just KNOW who these guys are, or youre not and you and you have no clue.<br />

<br />
This week was videogame-themed. Those guys <i>really</i> hate me ;)))<br />
<br />
Anyway, I remembered the main villain from Crash Bandicoot was an evil scientist and had minions. Another obvious one ;)<br />
<br />
Here is the original black and white, if you wanna see how big of a disservice 5 mins of sloppy photoshoppin did to the piece, go see it at <a href="http://nerd-invasion.blogspot.it/2013/01/its-alive.html" target="_blank">the other blog</a>.<br />
