No North - The Northless Compass (Cover)

EEEY GUYS!

How have you been??

Here's something I really wanted to share! It's No North's cover for its first story, The Northless Compass!

It didn't come out quite like what I had in mind, but it's only a first cover. Once the book is finished I'm sure a lot will have changed, and I'll be able to make a more suiting one. 

But for now, this painting will be the gateway to the world of No North. I'm very excited to be showing it to you!

I'd love to hear what ...

Steban Poses

Hey guys!

Here are just a few poses of Steban, part of my portfolio and "pitch" I'm presenting to potential background artists for No North. I'm not having much luck so far, but I'm still going! Fingers crossed <3

I tried to change my lineart style just a little bit and I'm happy with the results. Gives the art a more traditional look!

I would love to hear what you think!

Thank you so much for your support, as always, you guys are amazing.

Trust Your Journey

Here's one more illustration from the motivational patch series!

It's based on a little phrase I wrote and glued to my wall, right in front of my workstation. 

Good things, bad things, are all part of the bumpy road of life. Trust your journey and enjoy the ride!

Have a great day ahead! May the best adventures come your way <3

How have you been?

Here's one more lil' patch, this time featuring Martin!

Your boi is here to remind you to do more of what you love. Even if it's something little, like baking a cake or sunbathing. Or even going for a hike, drawing, writing, reading about philosophy or starting an inflatable pool collection. 

What makes your soul shine is personal and important, and you don't owe it to anybody but yourself.

How have you been lately?

I decided to make a few little patch-like things for motivation. 

I think I've said this before, but I've been struggling with emotional issues for years now, and the pandemic made them worse (of course, for everyone!) 

Working on big projects like No North just feels like I'm climbing an impossible mountain. I'm sure you know how crippling and cruel our negative minds can get, but still, I try to remember why I started in ...
