Hey guys!
Here's one for my dear Fozzy - he asked for Steban and Martin stuffed after eating way more food then they should have! With the festivities coming up, we'll all end up looking like this at one point, haha!
I had a lot of fun drawing this, thank you so much for your amazing support, my friend!
I wish you all the best!
Hey guys!
Here's the first sketch of the month, for my friend Crooked Glasses!
He asked for Lester being caught playing with dolls, and left the second character up to me - of course, it had to be Steban.
If things get too slow around Oddwind, Lester finds another way to fight crime!
I hope you enjoy this, thank you for your incredible support!
Hey guys!
Here's the final part of our shading tutorial!
Please let me know if you have any questions, and I really hope this helps! <3

Hey guys!
Here's part two of our shading tutorial. Please let me know if you have any questions - next part will be "How to shade on Photoshop", so I'll explain how to create these effects.
TIP! I once found a "wolf pose" app that can make for a useful reference. The wolf model's anatomy is a bit strange, bit you can pose it and control the light sources in your scene.

Hey guys!
Here's little Steban and his mother, Christine, during a happy time of their lives.
She was always present in their family home, but at the same time, she was very... Ghostly. She faced her own hardships and preferred to be alone in her bedroom most of the time, hiding her troubles from her pups, so they wouldn't have to worry about her.
She succeeded in giving them a happy puppyhood, but to Steban, she was always a closed door. He would sometimes just stand by her...

Hey guys!
What have you been up to?
Here's the obligatory Fox and the Hound fanart, which I'll also be selling at the conventions!
"Amigos para sempre" means Friends Forever in Portuguese.
What movie makes you feel nostalgic?
Have a great week, and thank you all for your support! <3

Thank you all for your incredible support, you're just awesome.

Hey guys!
One more for Stranger Things - this time featuring all my favorite characters, the full Scoops Troop!
Also playing around with the idea of the *ahem* upside down.
I hope you enjoy this, have a great weekend Sunday! <3

Hey guys!
Still on the sketch dumps, here's one for our trouble-maker.
These are small glimpses into scenes of No North, most are not from the first book, though. I always have fun drawing him, especially when he's acting borderline villainous. He never has a full grasp of what he's getting tangled with, though.
I hope you guys enjoy this! <3

Hey guys!
How have you been?
Happily, I've been selected once more for São Paulo's massive Comic Con event, as well as a design fair known as Pixel Show. Both conventions happen at the end of November/beginning of December (only 2 days apart from each other!) so it'll be a crazy month. But definitely a good one!
I'm currently working on a few posters to sell there, and here's one of the main attractions of my table: Scoops Ahoy doggos from Stranger Things!
Hey guys!
Here's a sketch dump I did a while ago, just to get to know Billy some more. He has many more sides to him that I really can't wait to show you in the comic.
No need to say that the original sheet contains some juicy spoilers, hehe
I really hope you enjoy this, let me know what you think <3 I absolutely love getting your opinions and suggestions!
Hey guys!
Here's one for my dear Fozzy!
He asked me for Steban and Martin riding a motorcycle with a sidecar, which suits them way too well! This was a bit of a challenge and I had too much fun!
Someone please explain the concept of safety to Steban, though!
Thank you so, so much for your incredible support, my friend! I hope you like how it turned out, haha!
Wish you all a great day ahead <3

Hey guys!
Here's one for my dear Epic Saveroom!
He asked for little Steban dressed up as his role model, and it was such an awesome concept to work on!
Steban had a huge one growing up. He was an adventurer and explorer called Jay P. Coyote, who was like a "real life" Indiana Jones. Steban would secretly spy on his neighbour's TV, only to catch a glimpse of his adventures, and it was enough to get him super excited over the idea of traveling the world and exploring new...

Hey guys!
Here's one for my dear friend Collin!
He asked for The Bull King and Kalf going on a strange adventure together. The Bull King is hostile and not used to having company, but the cub's admiration is too big for him to contain himself.
Kalf is like the King's second shadow, from this point on.
I had a lot of fun drawing this, I really hope you enjoy it, my friend! Thank you for all of your incredible support!

Hey guys!
This one's for my dear Crooked Glasses!
He asked for Kalf pretending to be a werewolf, perfect for celebrating Halloween - and it suits him too well. Can you imagine how hyped he'd get to be able to act like a wild, destructive beast for a whole day? Steban, you better watch that tail!
I had so much fun with this, thank you for your always amazing support! I hope you enjoy it!
Thank you all and have an awesome day ahead!

Hey guys!
Here's the first sketch of the month, for my dear Razmo!
He asked for Steban and Martin getting caught off-guard by the desert's cold nights, complete with a failed attempt at a bonfire!
I had too much fun drawing this, especially since Steban should know how deserts work - but he's... Steban.
Thank you so much for your incredible support, my friend! I really hope you enjoy this!
I wish you all a great Sunday!

Ey guys!
last part of the color script - I really hope you enjoyed the run, haha!
Again, I hope this didn't spoil much of what's ahead for our canine duo. It felt great to work thinking majorly in terms of color and actually getting to experiment with moods and a good variety of settings.
I wish you all a great day ahead, and thank you again and always for your incredible support. It truly means a lot to me!

How are you today?
More color script stuff - now for the evening reds! I love how mysterious that time of the day is, especially when you're in the middle of nowhere.
I really hope you enjoy this!

How have you been?
Here's part 3 of the color script. Oh boy, how I want to tell you what's going on. But we'll have to wait for the comic!
Which one's your favorite so far?
Thank you guys so much for your amazing support, you're incredible.
I wish you a great day ahead!

Hey guys!
How are you?
Here's part 2 <3
Again, these are pretty basic, especially since I'm not fond of my perspective skills - this is one of the big reasons why I'll be looking for a background artist to collab with!
I hope you enjoy it, please let me know what you think!
I wish you a wonderful day!

Hey guys!
Like promised, here's the first little batch of scenes from the color script!
Again, I'm keeping them completely mixed not to give away any spoilers. Also hiding all of the main events!
(You know the first one from that test comic page!)
I hope you enjoy it! <3

How are you today?
Here's a little soaked Martin from the beginning of the story. I'm currently writing the final draft at the same time as I make the page thumbnails. It feels kind of crazy.
Making little sketches like this really keep the perspective.
I have something coming again - the first book's Color Script!
I did a full study on color featuring the key scenes from the comic. I had to make them as spoiler free as I could so I co...

WOHOO! IT'S HERE!
After many failed attempts, I present to you No North’s final page design!
This is a deleted scene from the original script. I’ll probably keep it for upcoming books, but it served perfectly for the test!
If you remember the last page test I shared with you over two years ago (THAT LONG), you’ll notice a few core differences. ...

Hey guys!
Here's another sketch of Steban and Martin during a scene from No North. I decided to paint it and give it a better finishing.
Also, something is coming on Friday the 11th: a first look into what No North's pages will look like. I've been very excited to share this with you and ask what you think. But we'll have to see!
I hope you enjoy it, and wish you a great week ahead!

Hey guys!
Here's a small concept of Delilah, laying in her garden, wishing she could be anywhere else.
It's a gorgeous place, and she knows she should be happy to even be there. But the gates keep everything outside, including life, and sometimes she loses track of meaning. Although she does her best to remain positive, when the days begin to merge into a colourless repetition, she falls into a state of melancholy which is hard to get out.
Around her are her clou...

Here's a small redesign for of the core No North characters, Chase! It wasn't much of a change, I just wanted to make the left side of his face lighter, creating a bigger contrast with the darker side.
Chase faces many conflicts because of his duality, so it feels right to make a design that highlights his biggest character trait.
Let me know what you guys think!
I hope you have a wonderful weekend ahead! <3

Here are just a few rock designs for the most important rock there is in No North: the Reverie Rock. I was looking for something both iconic-ish and somewhat mysterious.
I ended up keeping the first and the third one, but going with the first on other concepts, since I think it looks more discrete.
I would love to hear what you guys think, though! Which one's your favorite?

I’m finally back from the hiatus!
I really miss you, how have you all been? What have you been up to?
I haven’t received the Beyond the Woods books yet, since printing a book has to be done with a lot of care and there’s always complications with the print shop (how unexpected, right?) but everything’s solved and the boxes will be delivered on the 14th!
I’ve been working on the many other products of the campaign and reprinting some of the small...

Hey guys!
I hope you’re all doing great!
I have a small announcement to make. I’ll be entering a hiatus on September to take care of printing, creating and producing the campaign products and mailing Beyond the Woods.
I’m been having some stress/health related issues (duo to other reasons) and really need this time to focus on getting what I need for the campaign done.
I’ll be pausing my Patreon, so you’ll not be charged for September 2019-08-31 10:00:01 +0000 UTC View Post
