Artistic block

I'm participating in a cultural contest names "Ideias Ilustradas" (Something like "Illustrated Ideas"), where they send me a theme and I have to create something related to it.

It's kinda fun and I get to compete against some really outstanding brazillian comic book artists.
So, yeah, I ended up feeling some short of pressure.....

Also, you can see some extra content regarding this comic strip here.

Feels

First rule

A really, really, REALLY old idea that I've had since I was a little kid, when I'd first heared about the "Fight Club" movie.
I always tought that it would be a hard movie to rent....

MGS - Pepper spray

When I first played a game from the Metal Gear series (MGS3; Snake Eater, to be more precise), I had to use the box. So, yes, I got busted and yes, I wish it was able to find and equip a pepper spray.

While drawing this, I decided to keep this soldier. I already named him and more info will come, along with more strips related to him C:

Fun Fact: Originally this was supposed to be the strip that made me decide to create the "Sketches".

I'm Batman

Honestly, of all the comic stipes, this still my favourite

A friend of mine lent me his Batman: Arkham Asylum to play during a 3-day holiday and, well, needless to say that I camped during 3 days in my bedroom.
My only regret is that I hadn't finished all the Riddler's puzzles...
And played as the Joker.

But it was good and the game is FREAKING AWESOME!
Now I need to find a way to buy myself a copy and finish the Arkam City.

Big Boss - Okami

I found an old comic stripe related to the videogame Okami Amaterasu, or just Okami.
Don’t get me wrong, I really love this game, the graphics are amazing, and the story is great. Besides, it’s planned to be released an HD version for the PS3, and there’s this chance of me buying it, since the graphics are way better.

Plus, it’s an amazing game to have in your collection.

Juli Sketch's opinion about nowaday's consoles

AUTHOR’S NOTE: Please, don’t take this too serius! It was made only for fun!

And in case anyone is wondering, I have a PS3. Anyone interested into buying a kidney? I’ve heard that you can live with only one, so I have one remain…

Good Night

And my mom wonders why I’m exausted during the day….

This happens to me.
Every single night
For the past few weeks.

Webcomic - 05

The last strip of my “webcomic” series.
And based on something that actually happened.

After the teacher gave us the instructions to create 5 comic stripes, I ended up going home before asking a really important question.
I forgot to ask him if the comics really had to be in the tradicional stripe format (horizontal; from one to four painels).
But I ended up drawing like that, anyway.
I only got the chnace to ask him, during my orientation, and he told me that I could do it the way I wanted.

But, since I had already done 3 stripes (except for the “V for Vendetta” - webcomic 03), I wasn’t going to waste and I decided to use what happened as the ending.

Webcomic - 04

And there’s only one more with the title “webcomic”, and then I can move on to something else.

For those who know me in RL, they know that I’ll do everything to please everyone who I know.
I’m not quite sure why, but according to a friend os mine, it’s because “I’m a good person”
But with that aside, the real meaning about this comic is because I’m really going to use a lot of different themes, meaning that not everyone of them will be abour Juli (the human) and Juba (the jaguar).

Webcomic 03

“Remember, remember the 5th of November.
The gunpowder treason and plot.
I know of no reason why the gunpowder treason should ever be forgot.”

Webcomic - 02

Assignment for the “webcomic” class, at my post-graduation in comics.

It’s kinda sad that people usually think tha I waist my time drawing….
And that it’s “not a big deal”

Webcomic - 01

Assignment for the “webcomic” class, at my post-graduation in comics.

We had to come up with 5 comic stripes.
I did the 5, but I’m thinking about extending this “story” a little longer.

Same as it never was

It was a post-graduation assignment, where we needed to take something existend (games, books, movies, etc) and adaptade it into a 5 page comic.

Originally I was making a side story based on Assassin’s creed, but my computer wasn’t cooperating during the coloring phase…
So, I was thinking what could I do with tradional art that wouldn’t need to paint a lot and would look pretty nice with a messy lineart?
