" Oh he's still a vegetarian, he wears a canvas jacket. He only wore the leather jacket once, when he went crazy. Which you'll do if you're wearing a leather jacket."
I really should start posting more here.
To resume what I've been doing so far: Since last year's july I'm a lead/concept/character design/cofee maker/ artist (not to brag - every artist here has to do everything) at Techfront, a brazilian casual game developer for multiple platforms, which include pc, Nintendo Ds/Wii, Mac OS/ Iphone. You can see the company portfolio here. Although there's few projects I fully participated already published... I've done backgrounds, interface and skins for some of those showcased there, but I'm the lead artist in a project soon to be released and I'll be sure to post it everywhere when it's out.
As much as I like video games, they're not as big to me right now as they were in my teen years, (yeah, let's pretend i didn't spend sleepless weekend nights on call of duty and assassin's creed recently) so I'm a little sad this kept me away from comics.
I have a few side projects going on: i colaborated with a two story page, a not so happy love story written by Sérgio Chaves, which will be out in a couple of days in Café Espacial's (space coffee) third edition, a brazilian small press-independent magazine, once it's out I'll translate the text to english and post it here. Here are a few character concepts I made for this story:
Also, I'm involved in another project, a colored 10-page story for an anthology of sorts. I'll say more about it when I can :)
Next thursday I'll be at a panel in a celebrative comic event, discussing superman's 70th anniversary and the Brazilian (inexisting) comic market, with other local artists Samuel Casal and Galvão.
It will be small, mostly there'll be superman posters and art exibition, two panels (the other panel will feature artists from São paulo, Ivan reis will be there) followed by portfolio review and autograph session with him and Joe Prado from art&comics. Since in my town everything comic related usually has anime and cosplay involved in it, and this will have NONE, I can't hide that I'm thrilled about this.
Although i have no idea what the fuck I'm going to say in the microphone. I curse like a sailor and I get really nervous cause I'm still a lvl 15 shy geek.
oh well, wish me luck. I'll probably mention Yves Rossy, the flying swiss. He may not be superman exactly but what he does sure require big balls.
Here's a trully beautiful vid (it helps if you're a moby fan)
