oren90 - thanks! I'm glad you think so - storytelling is very important to me!
PsiBug - thank you very much! Cool of you to drop by.
shako - thank you!

Today we have the finish Post Apocalyptic Paladin, some silly creature faces and the first piece in a small project I hope to continue with: a series of illustrations based on the hebrew alphabet, inspired by this lovely collection. The first one's "Alef", and loosely translated means "An Alfalfa-loving Armadillo Vaporizes a Universal Pear in Aerial Chaos. I ask the readers of my blog to suggest the words so I don't confine myself to existing ideas and used themes.





BUT more importantly, yesterday I finally unleashed unto the world the first glimpses of a graphic novel I'm working on with a good friend (he does the writing, I do the artwork). We've been working for nearly a year and a half and finally finished inking the first part of 3. There's still a hell of a long way to go, but we're pretty damn proud. So, here are a few character designs and some pages and panels from the book itself!

















We still have a good couple of years of work on this, but we should probably start checking out publishers at some point. I'll be happy for any advice on publishing comics!

[NickyBeats]

amazing work man!! really nice comic layouts, and inks!! also, i love the expressions sheet, and your character doodles! great style!

[T_Marasà]

Congratulations for your graphic novel, looks great so far!
Are you gonna color it or leave it in b/w?
I'm only asking cause most of the pages works well in b/w (particulary the last three panels you posted, love those) but the wider shots looks a bit less focused compared to the other panel so I wondered if they were meant for color treatment to bring out more focus.
Aside from that the characters and creatures you draw are very expressive, keep up the good work

[Camara]
