Hacía mucho que no dibujaba simplemente por gusto. Este sábado en la mañana, me desperté con ganas de dibujar y terminó esto. No tengo idea de quién es la chava, solo que combate ferozmente contra abogados. Hecho en pura plumilla digital en Painter IX. Para los que quieran pasar el rato coloreando, si le pican aquí, podrán bajar el archivo en alta.
About 3 days back, I got an email from Maritza Campos, creator of CRFH and a good friend to invite me to collaborate with her on a guest strip for PVP. Said strip was published by Scott today, and I’m fearing for the life of my server! The visit count is massive! It’s barely 7 am here, and this site has received more visits than every previous day. We’re getting visitors from all over the world and I’m happy as hell. -This is why I’m writing this in english.
To those of you are visiting here for the first time, welcome. I’m sorry the entire site is in spanish, I know you can`t read it right now, but I’m taking steps to remedy that very soon. For the moment, you can see the pretty pictures at the links above, and I hope you’ll come back soon, when I have an english version.
I should say, that back in 2008 when I first played with the idea of doing a webcomic, after nearly 20 years of working on the ‘serious’ side of the comicbook business, I became a fan first of the podcast ‘webcomics weekly’, Where Señores Kurtz, Guigar, Kellet and Straub explained the ins and outs of the webcomic business model. It was eye-opening to say the least. I’ve put to the test most of the concepts, ideas and experiences they explained on that podcast (and later the book).
Funnily enough I was first a fan of the podcast, and later became a fan of their strips. Specially PVP, to my tastes the better drawn.
I’m doubly grateful to Scott first for the inspiration to start doing webcomics, then to Maritza for proving that even from a country like Mexico, it is possible to make a living doing comics.
This is such a rush!
I hope you like the strip.
Cuando era niño leía las tiras de Boogie por Fontanarrosa en la parte de atrás de la proceso que religiosamente compraba mi papá. Probablemente Vinny está muy influenciado involutnariamente, es por lo que cuando Tovalín de la revista Comikaze me pidió esta ilustración quise hacerla como si fuera Vinny.
Resulta que funciona.
Esta es una oportunidad para muchos. Yo ya tuve el placer de que el señor Betteo me explique cómo hace lo que hace. Parece que ahora lleva el ‘show on the road’.
Si estás en chilangolandia, y te gusta este bello oficio de hacer monitos, te conviente apuntarte a la de ya.
Pus nomás porque quise, me aventé este ‘fanart’ de algunos de mis webcomics nacionales favoritos. Si alquien no conoce a alguno de los personajes, les recomiendo enormemente se den una vuelta a sus respectivos sites:
Caballo Negro de Jorge Cavazos (Aguas, no es para todo público)
Cindy La Regia de Ricardo Cucamonga (Este sí.)
Bunsen de Jorge Pinto (Muy geek, muy gracioso).
