Le Manoir des Murmures - Muñoz · Tirso · Montes

We have here an example of great Spanish professionals that have to develop their work in other countries because we do not know how to appreciate them correctly or our industry is not yet developed enough (and probably will never be if we continue this path). This graphic novel was first published in France, although these three creators come from Spain.
"Le Manoir des Murmures" ("La Casa de los Susurros" en castellano) was extremely enjoyable to read and astonishing to a visual level. I loved not only the character and creature designs, but also the scenes and colors chosen to tell this amazing story that was exciting from beginning to end.
Jan and Sarah had such a beautiful friendship I've been wanting to draw something like this since I read the story for the first time.
These are rough sketches based on some scenes from the graphic novel (some are more "creative" than others) and I tried my best to be faithful to Tirso's creations while giving it my style and doing the rearranges that I found fit.
Check out Muñoz's work, who's a writer known by movies such as "El Espinazo del Diablo" (Devil's backbone) and others, and both Tirso and Montes, who are the artists painting and coloring this graphic novel.
I really ask you to read this graphic novel... or at least go check it out. Fantasy and mystery join hands in a dark and yet colorful story that will make you read the whole thing in one stand.

The Blue-eye Cat from Tumblr

First drawing here in the UK. I realized I need a lamp because the light I get from the windows or the lights in the ceiling is crap and I almost went blind trying to get the shadows and everything right, although I muss admit I was only trying to capture the eyes, everything else wasn't that much of importance. And I'm pretty happy with the final result... at least taking into account it's been a while since my last drawing.
I should repeat it some day with better light, more time and patience. By the way, as model I used this picture I found in tumblr. Aren't those eyes something?
Sorry for the crappy quality, but I don't have a scanner here, so this is a picture I took with my phone. Unless something changes, I'm afraid that this is going to be the only way for me to upload pcitures in a long time... unless I upload some old ones.
I hope you like it and that you've had a great weekend!
