XTREME SPORTS PAPER COVER

So this weekly sports paper asked me for 2 illustrations on 2 Mexican national soccer team players from Tamaulipas (Mx). Apparently they liked them so much they used'em for the cover as well. So regardless, what I didn't like was that they flipped my characters and stretched one offem. Also what's with their reds?
I'm not a GD but if you are, please, PLEASE do NOT do this. It is not professional at all and it doesn't speak well of you.

These are the two original illustrations. Can you tell what's different?

If you wanna see some sketches and part of the process on these illustrations, go CHECK ME OUT ON BEHANCE

Wyliman 25 and Bolo

About a year ago I colored Wyliman #25 cover

If you haven't check our good old anti hero what are you waiting for, huh? Go now and go HERE

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!

Hasta siempre y adelante!

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!
