Inking. (Kino inking my work)


Kino`s ink work Posted by Hello

Hey Kino sorry for taking the liberty to post your inks over the pencil I did some time ago and you kindly offered to ink.And I can not thank you enough and enough..You really rock and you are such a nice soul!.
Firstable I will comment MY errors so I can give a good perspective on everything.
I guess I should have given more information about the way to cross hatch, giving more info about lighthing source and the textures part, I didn`t give all the neccessary information because I thought I will ink it myself sometime the road or ask a friend to do so.
Sometimes is hard for an artist inker to undertand or try to decode the way the pencils are and when that happens is always the penciler`s fault.
I have incredible artist inker friends to clearly understand the great mastery and also the great imput they make in my work or somebody`s else work.
An artist inker will be my 5o% ticket to hit in the medium (I accepted it without shame...sad many people diminish the work of an artist inker..AND PLEASE AN INKER IS NEVER A TRACER!! NEVER A TRACER...... SO STOP TELLING AS A JOKE THAT LINE)
I always love and respect when an artist person takes his or her time to ink something done by me because that means He or She is willing to lose some time an invest it on my work so is always a bless, so thank you again Kino.

Kino your work is good, obviously looks a little flat but as I told you was my fault for not giving the info you were in need, the same happens with the wrinkles work and the source of light.(when there is a pro-inker sometimes this information is not neccessary but in your case that you are learning how to the same as I am, so it would be better for me to have a more clear approach)
I wish you had worked in the tick and thin of your line work so you could give us the impression of depth, you forgot my signature (yes that s in a circle) hahah but is not a problem. You forgot to sign you work, be always proud of what you do so in that way you also create a commitment to the work you do and also helps you to see the tiny and great developments you work can have.
When people tell you that you have to work inking as much as possible, my piece of advice,take time in everypiece do not jump from one to another so You can clearly give more time on the piece.
Finish your traces.
I know that what I will say is a sacrilege but anyway I wish you had set some of your own personality of the piece, and not only to follow the piece as it is!
I know editors say that the artist inker has to ink what it sees and improve it...but for me I just love when a person gives its personality in the inking..as an example is the work that Mr. kevin Kwolan does, you can recognize his inking eveywhere.
Kino you did a good job!!

Have a great time and thanks for the nice surprise!!!...JESUS ANTONIO
ps:always at your disposal and you know that...:)

Sweet name Liberty has

I was about to write about his yesterday, and I wrote it in a place where I am among buddies well,but happens that I just couldn`t find a better way to write the same again.
So this is what I posted.


"Hey guys sorry for venting today some stuff that happened to me,Well today I resigned to one of my jobs (the fourth and recent I have other three jobs) well in few words I couldn`t fit over there it was not the Academia, (they were always nice to me) (it was more about the attitude of the students I had, top notch boys and girls from Daddy and Mommy, I mean I have been giving classes of English for about 11 years or sort and this is the first time I see that these adolescents were not there to study or learn they were there only to pass the exam or have a paper).
Well Yesterday I got so desperate that I started to vomit for about an hour (they called the liquid bilis I do not know the way to say that in English).
So well I finally resigned today (yesterday now), I mean I prefer my Mental and Physical Health preserved (that is why I was so absent in posting here).
I know I won`t receive the money I was considering but what the heck I am again free to draw,ink,draw,ink,paint, draw..to draw.!!!!!!!!
So well I am starting myself to get busy with the project I have in hands with my friend Nik is about Luchas (Wrestling) you may like the concept I will let you guys know more as soon as I can).

I am poorer but so free!!!!!!!!
end of transmission!!Free, free, free.... did I say free?....JESUS ANTONIO"

Luchador! characters part two.


another advance!! Posted by Hello

Have a pleasant day!!..JESUS ANTONIO

Luchador! characters part one.


First Step Posted by Hello

I wanted to give a little behind the scenes to the process into creating characters.
I have to be honest but I do not normally draw the characters in different positions, what I do is to have the clear idea in my head and then in the same sequentials use the information that I have based on a little script telling me where is the character going and ending up!
In this case this is a character for Luchador! (Yes, Nik I have another one I`ll explain it to you in a mail). This girl is Tania the Cowgirl a "Cazarecompensas" not part of number one.What I am really happy and impress is that the great Nik has come up with a great gallore of villians that Luchador might fight!.We even have most of the plots of every character, i am alwasy impress by the great work of love of The great amigo Nik!!
so well this is the first attempt to Hopefully I will finish it today or tomorrow!!
Have a great time!!..JESUS ANTONIO

Picklepress Another Winner.


AGENTZ Posted by Hello
This is the cover of Agent Z two.
This is one of the new projects of Nik Havert and btw the great Tim Shadow inked (I like the way He inks his work and He knows that!) and Federico Zumel penciled the work(I have to be honest I am gladly impressed by the work of Zumel pretty spectacular).
As usual the strong piece is the great script done by Nik Havert.


Do you want a copy of number one?

The Corner..... Jis and Trino


jis Posted by Hello

Back in the days when I was studying Architecture I always had a blast for the work of this guys from Guanatos (a way to say Guadalajara), these guys started long time ago in a newspaper called El Mural (one of the best newspapers from there from what I know), then started to work in different newspapers like El Financiero, and after some time in Milenio, I remember how great the characters done by them were.
El Santos y la Tetona Mendoza, Historias del Rey Chiquito, Historias de Policias y Ladrones, La Chora, and I once had the time to attend to a convention (as a fan) and they were giving their insights about mexican politics and also some classes of great albur. I am showing you one of my favorite examples of their art, they are so nuts that they tried a funny experiment to write eachother letters and then publish them in El Chamuco (a magazine that now is not longer published), and in the letter they actually talk about their news and life.
This is the first letter done by Jis.

JESUS ANTONIO

The Corner..... Jis and Trino


trino Posted by Hello

And this one was the response to the letter done by Trino......really really hilarious!!!

A link with some of their cartoons called El Santos (yes, is in spanish!!)

Metropolis 1927


Fritz Lang. Posted by Hello

I found a great poster on the net with my favorite silent movie from Germany.
It was done in 1927 and directed by Fritz Lang.
I still want to find a copy of a Metroplis Hardcover book that was done by Mike Kaluta (If you can help me get one I would appreciate it a lot).
I have to say that I love the art design part of an Architecural movement called the Futurism (the best examples of tha period are from Italy) that never came true, for an example there are the series of plans that Lecorbusier did for some parts of Europe and Brazil (If I can recall well) that never happened they wanted to have the perfect city with all that organic feeling without identity.
Have a great day!!..JESUS ANTONIO

Dust in my closet


GIFT Posted by Hello

I was cleaning today my closet and I found a copy of a piece I did some time around 2003 for fun and then by a quite happy accident I had the chance to send it to a person I consider one of those artist that influenced my life and my work, I keep his name because there is no point to name it but I only can say that He is indeed one of the greatest guys around, He has always been so warm with me, sad I haven`t sent a mail since some time ago but I hope to send him some lines next week.
Hope you like the nostalgia piece!...JESUS ANTONIO

Comic creator till the day I die

I was watching a long interview with Tom Hanks and I really liked the words He said at the end of his interview in relation to how to balance the reality and the expections in life, I mean he didn`t say comic creator he said actor instead but I guess it works the concept for me.
News
I still have problems in that school (the one I started early this week) but funny to say but is much brighter the way, I am having the principal of that school as my backup so till new notice I will have the problematical stupid students I have out my classes till they give me good reasons to return to my class (I am so sorry I can not give my regular teaching to them but well it seems sometimes that this kind of places are only to take care of children same as a nursery school).
Love well no news about it....well I care but at the same time I don`t want to care.
Comic Work, I continue tomorrow with the next pages of Luchador and Nik and I have some pretty funny characters in the developments,btw I will reply to him tomorrow!!
I learn how to make an new effect with ink and razors and also with some fabric!!
I have more stuff to say but tomorrow will be the day to do so!!
Have a great time!!...JESUS ANTONIO

Broken.

I never expected to say that today but I just feel really blue with my heart just broken, sometimes it seems that being nice is equal to being dumb or even worse to look like I have a lack of character.
Today She was telling about the date she had with her ex-love and just told me that She didn`t have enoug time to give a closure to the situation..that means that She still hasn`t made her mind up, well that was not the part where I really felt dumb , She mentioned another person ( a crush on somebody else) so I was stupidly thinking what the f*** am I doing here?, there are some few times that I feel so dumb and stupid, ( I even wanted to cry but I prefer to rant about it and take it out of my chest, so I am sorry in advance for the little moment).
Just have a great time and If you can have some time and keep me in your prayers so I can definitely take the obvious decision.
ps:haha If happens that you are agnostic just wish me luck!!..JESUS ANTONIO

From Indigo to Crystal using the golden route.

Well it was a really odd day I am not saying nasty at all but in fact I was expecting something much better, sorry for the rant but this is about attitude, I started today at that school I say before a little preppy and top notch school btw, but I have to be honest I do really need that money.
Well the attitude of the boys and girls (Mommy and Daddy boys and girls)was to challenge me and try to make me feel like stupid, I normally act in a Zen way but today I was about to crack I was even finger pointed by one. (Thanfully it was not the middle finger..:)!! ).
I do not really know what to think this time I was expecting to find leaders or fighters over there and I got a more terrible picture that I thought. I am not saying this boys and girls are bad but I was expecting a little torch lighted on their eyes, now I need to re-agroup and redifine how to approach them.
I am sure that I will be someone special to them by the time but right now they were just a tiny itch in my ass.
If you are a devoted fan of my work, a friend, and editor, a lurker please do me a favor show my work to anyone you can, promote my work, maybe a kind person might be interested in my comic work so I can definitely stop my teaching (I am not saying I am fed up but I really want to stop working doing this, for the rest of my life....!).
About the tittle well now I am working on that.
About love....hahaha today I have some answers I just only hope they are good.
About Luchador I have sent an image to Nik the one that is below We are just defining characters and probably in a couple of days I will give him more info into the plans.
Have a great creative time!!..JESUS ANTONIO

Chaos and Anarchy!!


L. Posted by Hello

NEWS.
Yes I continue with my computer broken (hahah shit happens!!)
This is one of the few pages I will load on the blog from Luchador I guess I will load at least 3, because I do not really want to spoil the whole concept and because I am sure You guys might have the fun I am having with the project as the final product.Did I tell you Nik thanks again!!??
Is only the pencils that I will color later on the week.
Tomorrow I am starting in my 4th job so I am a little nervous (nervous in a good way,,let me call it eager to be giving classes of World History and Grammar all in English!!).So guys wish me luck!
About love ...nothing yet but at least this little girl had yesterday a reunion with someone to finally take a decision, so well If she is happy(with me or without me) I am happy (I mean what else can I f***ing do?!..hahah)!!.
see you over the week!!..JESUS ANTONIO

Design for Dummies. Part Four. A new imput.

I will of course continue with the study of Dali`s Last Supper" in the following days (see the archives of December to see the other three parts) because I am now totaly involved with my classes and with Luchador and well also the work that the kind Pedro and I will do.
But I wanted to share something about some of my prior concepts about Simbology that would be the next step in the study, I always felt the drawing , designing,creating or painting has an inner energy called by many in different ways, some people see themselves as just a medium so they can connect at the right time and right moment, some others think that creativity has an spiritual halo that gives the approval to create, others think that creativity is just to find another way to say something that was before said, others concentrate in the creativity as a matter of practice and I only CAN SAY EVERYBODY IS RIGHT.
The only point here is to develop your own criteria or path to create, I am telling you this because I always thought that words are designs, designs are images and images are conceptions of what We see of reality or unreality, so I always assume that simbology has its own inner energy.
And also today I learnt that what I was thinking about simbology was always right but now there are many NEW other ways to understand the same, so once in a while as I said before to a friend " learn.... learn from everywhere and when you finally think you know forget everything and lose yourself and follow your intution to create".
Have a pleasant day!!!...JESUS ANTONIO

Polishing plans for life.


Checking into my old stuff Posted by Hello

Firstable about the piece this time I was searching for some papers and I found an very ver very very old drawing I did (a copy by the way I do not know where the original is) that I never finished, I will try to check where this old drawing is and try to finish it, the technique in case you ask is called Aguada , that is simple ink with water this is also possible to do it with coffee ( yes coffee!!), anyway I will try to track this drawing and see If I can finish.
I am polishing some of the plans for Luchador and I am starting the serious work in penciling and then coloring the pages. BTW thank you Nik again and again for being the person you are!!.
I am getting a lot tired with the schedule I am having now I hope to adapt myself soon and in case that is difficult for me to eliminate what I do not want to have anymore (I mean at least to reduce some classes).
Pedro how is everything going?
About love well ...... I have no clue yet!! :)
Have a great day!!..JESUS ANTONIO

Time is up!! Posted by Hello

I wanted to share this time one of my favorite images from Harold (did you know that He didn`t have some of his fingers in one of his hands?).
I remember that when I was young (not that long ago btw) I loved to wake up early Saturday morning to watch some of the episodes of Harold Lloyd with some churros and cocoa milk next to me, this is also one of my favorite chapters when he is running away and is hanging from the clock!! a real classic.
Abou me well some tiny news.
The girl I liked is going to have a resolution soon from what I heard so as my dear friend Tim said any good or bad resolution but at least I will finally know how to interact with her.
I haven`t received any news about the scholarship or Spain.
I will finally post more material from Luchador in some days!!
The technician will finally visit me home next week (mmmm I hope)
I received an incredible X-mas card (yeah today!! funny isn`t it?).

Have a pleasant day and keep me in your prayers!!...JESUS ANTONIO

The Black Pirate 1926


1926 Posted by Hello

Oh well yesterday I had the great chance to see another silent movie (You know I love that period of movies), in this case I was enourmously happy because the movie was in Technicolor, is still do not know what was the process used to color it (some people pigmented individually the carbon film,hand painted or just put together several layers in 3 colors and the union made the color).
Douglas Fairbanks was the actor!! About the story believe the angles of camera are great considering the period of time when it was filmed, and no flaws in the storytelling..!
This is a must see!!..JESUS ANTONIO

The fool of me.


fool Posted by Hello

Today I heard that Maradona accepted that 14 years ago in a World cup in the final Brazil vs Argentina, the coach intentionally drugged the brazilian players by giving them some water and in the water a lot of drugs on it.
Again Mexico has lost about 3 million of employments and According to what Fox used to say He promised to have every year at least a million and a half of new jobs, so according to my primitive math he had to create in 6 years over 11 million jobs thing that never happened.
The inflation was of 8% this month in reference to the same month last year.
Our country depends of the money coming abroad from our country men living in USA in real terms the money We receive is about 30% of the total money received in our country.
I will receive a book I was waiting to have !!!
So well I am just a fool wandering with a real path!!!!..have a great day!!...JESUS ANTONIO

The Spirit of fighting.


WILL Posted by Hello

Funny how life works right, here is one of the first stories I read from Spirit (1977 spanish version) from Will Eisner,the only thing I remember a lot from the story is the darkness on it, the incredible way that Will integrated the lettering to affect the art and the great way to move The spirit.
And yes, I had once the honor to shake hands with him and have a very tiny tiny talk and He was a pleasant man!!
Now I am having some free time and well I am starting my own new schedule for the next 6 months, I will send a mail to Nik and Pedro today to let them know how things are working.
I also went to see the paperwork to look for a passport and I need to wait for another month only to have money to pay for it and later on ask for a visa.
3 days ago I received two mails with comics so I have many things to read, damn ! I almost forgot what is the smell of a new comic on my hands.
Expect new work loaded on the blog next week..!!
Have a very good day!!....JESUS ANTONIO

I just wanted to do now something I promise to do some time ago.
The Three Keys is one of the new publications of my great Amigo Nik Havert.

As usual I have to say that the script is the stone from this piece, I have always said Nik that what I loved about him is the voices he uses with every character He creates and the solid plots He is used to write.
About the art I guess you would like to see it!!.
Great story and the art is decent the author is Paul Schultz (I am sure he is about to evolve his style into something great over the time).
and the color cover and lettering by Craig deBoard.

Buy a copy and do not forget also to buy a copy of Rocket Girl 2.

Kaftka times full of surrealism

Hey guys a quick note from a place near my job, I have some news,
I had already accepted my 4th job (non comic related),(this time I do not really give a damn, I took this job as a job and I will not take the things personal), so I am pretty sure this job will be good at least my plan is only to be for a semester.
I will travel around June or August to United States to a Convention and finally talk face to face to the kind friends I have.
My 30th birthday is approaching and I have some plans.(probably a tatto!!)
A nice person helped with an advice I was in need so I suppose that by the end of the month I will have some news about comic work (hopefully).
About Spain I am still waiting for some responses about comic Work.
I will ask for an scholarship .
So well many things to keep myself busy this year.
And be loved by someone in a reciprocal way is also part of the priority this year.
Wish me luck and have a great weekend.
I am starting to color the pages of Luchador!!
ps:yes I continue with my computer broken...(you know shit happens)

Will Eisner had died.....sad day

I wish I had started this month posting good news, but I really wanted to say Will Eisner has been the father of the concept of comic in the Americana way, and are really sad news.

Dust in my eyes.

Yesterday I watched a beautiful movie and an incredible script I just wanted to share one of the scenes where Rip Murdock and Dusty are in a car heading to Martinelli`s house, having in the trunk a dead body...If you want to see the movie is Dead Reckoning 1947 the actor is Humphrey Bogart.

Captain Warren 'Rip' Murdock: You know, the trouble with women is they ask too many questions. They should spend all their time just being beautiful. Coral 'Dusty' Chandler: And let the men do the worrying. Captain Warren 'Rip' Murdock: Yeah. You know, I've been thinking: women ought to come capsule-sized, about four inches high. When a man goes out of an evening, he just puts her in his pocket and takes her along with him, and that way he knows exactly where she is. He gets to his favorite restaurant, he puts her on the table and lets her run around among the coffee cups while he swaps a few lies with his pals... Coral 'Dusty' Chandler: Why... Captain Warren 'Rip' Murdock: Without danger of interruption. And when it comes that time of the evening when he wants her full-sized and beautiful, he just waves his hand and there she is, full-sized. Coral 'Dusty' Chandler: Why, that's the most conceited statement I've ever heard. Captain Warren 'Rip' Murdock: But if she starts to interrupt, he just shrinks her back to pocket-size and puts her away. Coral 'Dusty' Chandler: I understand. What you're saying is: women are made to be loved. Captain Warren 'Rip' Murdock: Is THAT what I'm saying? Coral 'Dusty' Chandler: Yes, it's a confession. A woman may drive you out of your mind, but you wouldn't trust her, and because you couldn't put her in your pocket, you get all mixed up.

Have a great day!!!..JESUS ANTONIO
