Two Geniuses Go to a Museum

Hey guys! 

I hope you're doing great! 

Here's this month's sketch for DoggieDiversity! He asked me to draw Steban and Martin visiting a natural history museum, when Martin decides to share his broad knowledge with his "less gifted" friend. 

It was a lot of fun to work on this! Thank you so much for your amazing support, my friend, and I hope you enjoy it! <3

Marginal Arts

Hey guys!

This one is for the awesome EpicSafeRoom, who asked me for a drunken Chase trying to fight martial arts – needless to say, I had too much fun drawing this! hahah

I hope you enjoy it and thank you so much for your request and support!!! <3

Have an amazing day!

Duet

The first sketch of the month is for JNSx7, who asked for Steban in a mostly anthropomorphic style, but with only a jacket or a shirt! Naturally, his friend is right beside him. 

I thought it would be fun to try to parody Zootopia's poster, since that's probably one of my favorite anthropomorphic styles ever, so I redrew the duo in the same poses as Nick and Judy! (it suits them soo well)

Anyway, I hope you enjoy it!

Thank you so much for your request and support! <3

Fungroom

Hey guys!

I hope you're doing well!

Here's one sketch I had a lot of fun making. Since Delilah didn't like the nickname Steban gave her, "Mushie", he's offering her other options!

I wish you all the best!

The Art of No North

Hey guys! 

I hope you're doing great!

Here's the cover from "The Art of No North", the 145-paged artbook featuring many exclusive paintings, sketches and lore from the upcoming comic!

If you don't have your digital copy yet, you can contact me at rsimoso@gmail.com and get yours! I'm currently selling it for $12. 

Thank you so much for your wonderful support! 

All the best!

Doom

Hey guys!

For those who bought the artbook, you're probably already familiar with this painting. 

Steban and Martin got themselves into some bad supernatural trouble. I wonder what they're gonna do! 

I hope you enjoy it! <3

Kalf

Hey guys!

How have you been? I hope you're all doing great!

I'm very sorry for the long wait. Finishing the artbook has been a big priority (and rush) for the last few days. For everyone who got it and wrote to me, thank you so much for your sweet words, and I'm so happy to know you enjoyed it! Your support has been absolutely incredible and I can't ever thank you enough! 

For the awesome people waiting for the A2 posters from their IndieGoGo commissions, they'll be arriving t...

Echoes

Hey guys!

One more from the artbook! 

Hank encounters Vernon once more. 

Have a wonderful day!

Hiding

Hey guys!

Here's another one!

Hank and Lester will probably never get along.

I hope you enjoy it!

Way Out There

Hey guys!

WOW. This one took me quite a while to complete. Painting mountains is awesome, but also there's just so much detail! haha

Steban and Martin travel on! 

I hope you enjoy it, you guys are too precious!! <3

The Edge

Hey guys! I just wanted to thank you so, so much for your wonderful support this month! You're absolutely amazing! 

Here's one more painting for the Artbook. I'm surprised by how confident Martin looks at this height. I believe this picture is merely illustrative. 

I hope you enjoy it!! <3

Ancient Names

What the fortune teller said
Is I'm alive for now but good as dead
She claims she'd seen it all while she was
Gazing in her crystal ball

If I can't evade my fate
Then I won't sit around and wait
A fallen star will be thy fate
I call you by your ancient names

I gotta get away from here
I gotta get away from her 

-- 

Ancient Names by Lord Huron has been a...

No North World Map

Hey guys!

Here's a little map for the world of No North! Ironically, there's no wind rose in this. I should fix this soon! haha

Have a wonderful day!

Table of Clues

Hey guys!

Here's a table with a few very important objects and facts about No North. For the first time I'll start letting out informations about what the plot, I really hope you enjoy it!

Fleet

Hey guys! 

I hope you're doing well! 

Here's another one for the artbook. It's almost done and I'm so excited! I only have around 7 paintings/sketch pages to go. The book has 140 pages at the moment! 

This scene was just awesome to draw and I hope you guys enjoy it!

I'm very sorry for the lack of updates. Things have been absolutely crazy, but I hope it's for a good reason. If everything goes right, I'll soon tell you what has been going on!

I hope you ha...

Duel

Hey guys! Here's another one!

Baltazar can finally have his revenge, but Steban just won't fight him. I wonder how this will turn out!

One more for the Artboook! 

I hope you enjoy it! <3

The Stranger

This is the last sketch of this month, for my dear friend Collin!

He asked me for Steban's best Clint Eastwood pose! I had too much fun with this! I absolutely love Clint's western movies (I've watched every single one of them, even the most obscure!), and specially love his character, Blondie, from the Dollar Trilogy. 

Drawing Steban with that witty smile and hat down was just too awesome.

Thank you so much for such a wonderful request and support, I hope you enjoy it!! <3...

Summer Revenge!

Hey guys! 

Here's this month's request for Austin! He asked me for Martin's revenge on Steban after Collin requested THIS!  

Martin's fast on the trigger, however, spraying Steban with water during the summer will only make him stronger. 

I had so much fun with this! Thank you for your awesome support and request! <3

I hope you enjoy it!

Sunset Ride

Hey guys! 

Here's DoggieDiversity's request for the month :D

He asked me for Martin riding Steban like a stallion into the sunset, but Steban is too wild of a pony for that! Martin's cowdog carrier has been cut short(y).

I hope you enjoy it, my friend!!  

Jetpack!

Hey guys! 

Here's Martin flying (and panicking) on a jetpack ride for the awesome Epic Saveroom! 

This was so much fun to make!

Thank you so much for your epic request and support, my friend! I hope you enjoy it!

Sparklers

Hey guys! 

Here's the first Legendary Adventurer sketch of this month, for the awesome JNSx7! 

They asked me for a Steban, thinking TNTs were sparklers, handing some to a panicking Martin.

Drawing this was hilarious, and that's just so like them. Thank you so much for your wonderful request and support! 

I hope you enjoy it, and have an awesome day!

COMIC CON 2018!

HEY GUYS!

I have some wonderful news! I got selected for the Artist's Alley at Comic Con São Paulo! 

This is my first time taking part in a convention, and São Paulo's Comic Con is the biggest comic and pop culture convention in the world in terms of public –  Over 220k people attended last year, and the numbers are growing more and more!

Over 1,140 people applied for the 350 tables at the Artist's Alley this year. The number of artists overcame the e...

So Long Ago

Hey guys! 

While I work on the artbook I'm also constructing No North's draft and lore. Right now I'm going over the lowest layer of the story, where there are a lot of secrets and hidden mysteries that were meant to stay hidden for all eternity. 

This is getting fun! 

I hope you guys enjoy it!! <3

Cold Nights

Hey guys! How have you been? ^^

It's been a while since the last time I drew Chasey!
Once again, here's another painting for the artbook, which is getting packed! I really want it to be the most complete I can possibly make it without actually spoiling the story! 

I hope you guys enjoy it! <3

Lionheart

A little fake screenshot of Martin being somewhat heroic! Can you believe it? 

Also for the upcoming artbook! <3

Thank you guys so much for your amazing support!!!

Refuge

Hey guys!

I hope you're doing great!

Here's another concept for the artbook. Still getting a lot of lag on my computer, so detailed paintings have been pretty frustrating to make. I'm sorry for the lack of quality on the last paintings because of that. 

I wish you guys the most amazing week ahead! <3

Not Over Yet

Have a happy Sunday, guys! <3

Into Gold

Hey guys! 

The computer is slowly responding better to the updates, hopefully it'll go back to normal in time. I was able to finally complete this painting!

This is also for the artbook – I'm getting closer to the end! It's another No North scene, one I really hold dear! haha

I hope you enjoy it, and I wish you an amazing weekend ahead!

Dark Soul

Hey guys!! 

I'm sorry I haven't been able to post a lot lately. I decided to update my computer after 3 years (I know it's a lot, but I really dislike updates due to some bad experiences) and it completely lost it. Photoshop lags non-stop and I can't work on anything that has more than 5 layers without nearly killing the machine. My average painting has over 60 layers, so yeah... 

I have no idea what I'm gonna do to fix this, since I can't reverse it back to what it was. I'll p...
