WCW MAYHEM back from 1999

I made this for the V-CON expo here in Mexico City and Guadalajara. Fan art about how I would've liked my favorite video game's cover to've been. I RLY enjoyed A LOT playin' this PSX (and N64) game back in 1999. The first new wave of Mexican wrestlers that invaded the WCW roster.

Lots of great designers and illustrators participated with their very own covers and so. They had this great concert with Disaster Peace, The One Ups, Baiyon and Akira Yamaoka and people went crazy with them and I had the chance to see my friends Tebin and Valerio Vega so it was a great, great evening.

Hasta siempre y adelante!

Wyliman 25 and Bolo

About a year ago I colored Wyliman #25 cover

And two years ago I did this back cover for the tribute indie comic called " BOLO ". A good friend o'mine lost his dog, Bolo, and he made this tribute comic for him. I had the honor to do the back cover

I don't draw or color like that anymore xD LOL. Anyways, more covers and back covers soon!

DevHour characters printed

Yep, the characters I redesigned for this year's great DevHour convention looked like this as printed:

The DevHour is a Videogame developers convention, the biggest, down here in Mexico. It took place at the National Center of Arts (CNA) here in Mexico city this year and it was great to sign all those posters and stickers and to talk to the fans who recognized me and said hello or approached to talk. Thank you all indeed =)

Here's the poster design:

KISS ARMY COVER SKETCHES

This cover had sum specific indications from the editor and so I worked this way:

First I drew them all separately:

Then assembled them all the way they asked me to. You can see here's a first Catman tryout:

Then I painted the back ground like the Destroyer Resurrected album cover but in a colder mood, just as they wanted it. Here's the reference:

And here's the plain BG:

Then I added dinks and colors to each character according to the colder mood, of course, and had it as you have seen it in my previous entry. Anyways, here's how it ended up looking like:

More updates next week with sum slides I did for Red Bull Mexico and sum characters I'm designing for an anti-bullying play!! Stay tuned!

Hasta siempre y adelante!

KISS ARMY MAGAZINE

These great guys from the biggest fan club in the world... in Mexico, asked me do the cover for the first issue of their new magazine.

The magazine hasn't been launched cuz it's still being printed but they showed, to all the people who went over, how the cover will look like and it does like this:

As you can all see, I went over and signed some of the samples. Here are the main club representatives here in Mexico:

They told me they really liked it and that it felt as if a true fan would've had worked on it and I was really flattered =)

So here's my clean illustration just the way they ordered it:

The magazine will be introduced to all a few days after the Kiss concert here in Mexico city. I'll be posting all the information back on twitter and FB.

Hasta siempre y adelante!
