Harley Quinn & the Joker - Rough games

Well, good evening! I'm in a wonderful mood as this is one of the most ambitious drawings I've done in a while, mixing media I thought I'd never use in paper, like acrylics... I was always afraid normal paper wouldn't stand it. It turns out I was wrong and it looks awesome!!!
On the top you can see a re-touched version, while the one on the left is a picture of the original drawing (I seriously need to by a scanner).

I wanted the pencil lines to remain so that's why I haven't painted over them. Also mixing media and styles was pretty fun ^^

Anyhow, I went to the cinema to watch "Suicide Squad" and I liked the soundtrack and Harley, of course, so on Friday afternoon I was listening to it when "Criminal" from Britney Spears came in... and this image came to my mind. So I sketched in the course of three or four repetitions of the song and decided I wanted to make something awesome with it... So I got crazy and coloured it, which you might know by now it isn't something I normally do.
I wanted Harley to look scared, but at the same time have a slight smile that she's almost forcing upon herself to show Joker she trusts him, whilst I wanted the Joker to have a sadistic look. The perspective was hard and not sure of it as I would have rather have the Joker to be slightly bigger that he came up to be, but I'm still pretty Ok with him.
I honestly hate the relationship of these two characters being romanticized, so she's got some cuts and bruises, not too many though as I didn't want to be gruesome, just enough to show he doesn't treat her nicely, and he should as she is slightly afraid of whether he'll hurt her with the knife or not.
Hher body and shadows were pretty fun to do, specially hands and feet are things I?m really happy with. I should point out that all of this came out of my head without needing any reference image... which made me pretty proud.
I enjoyed designing a new outfit for her as well.
I might do more of this in the future.
For the time being I hope you guys like it!! =)

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.

Blanche's return (Sortilèges. Livre 2 - Dufaux & Munuera)

Based on the illustration made by José Luis Munuera in the second book of "Sortilèges" ("Sortilegios" en español). The first appearance of Blanche after the rumors of her death. I liked the badassness of that scene, but I wanted to do my own version of it... an adaptation of Blanche's drawing.
I tried to put more detail in the hair, the face is different, but captures her anger (although the head came out at the end too big for her body), there're more blood stains and I drew some wounds on her (cuts and bruises)... because she seemed to be too "clean" for my taste since she just came back from a battle.
The shadows and blood are made with ball pen, the lines with liquid pen, and I "painted" the leader with pencil to make it look darker.
I hope you like it... and please give it a chance to this comic book... it's pretty neat and fun to read.

Ergo Proxy - Pino

She's my favorite character from the anime... so I've always wanted to draw her since I started watching it. I made this bookmark for a friend as a gift because Pino was also his favorite character and we both enjoyed watching "Ergo Proxy" when we were in Stuttgart (he was the one who introduced me to it).
I hope you guys like it. It's based on the image that appears in the intro, but I tried to use the colors that she has during the anime instead of the strong contrast she shows in the intro. I used other images as reference for the bottom and the back.

Angel Prayer ("Favole: Stone Tears" - Victoria Francés)

The original is not mine. I drew this from a trilogy called "Favole" written and illustrated by the Spanish artist Victoria Francés (The original can be found in page 3 of the first book).
I don't like the face or the hands, and I'm not too happy with the grave stones, but I love the clothing and the wings. I think I was able to give movement to the drawing of a statue.

Spiderman

Oh! My Goodness! This one is so old. I made it when I was in High School for my little cousin's birthday

Black Rock Shooter

So, this is a drawing I made of Black Rock Shooter, but I didn't copy any existent drawing, so that's why it's labelled as "Original Drawing" and "Out of other drawings". I watch the OVA and the series this week, and I've fallen in love with this character. I don't know why, but it's got a lot of power, and so does the song it inspired. So that's why I had to draw her.
This drawing is awful, I know. I don't do manga. So this is a mixture of styles, and you can see where my flaws are: the hair, specially the ponytail to the right, the face, and the foot to the left. So, basically, I didn't fake good enough the manga style and the perspective sucks. Funny thing is that it wasn't meant to be an elaborated drawing, and that's why I post it: because it turned out better than I expected. A proof of how little faith I had on it is the fact that it was made at the back of some notes from last semester. You can still see what's written on the other side of the sheet.
Anyhow, this is what came to my mind while listening to the song and watching the images. So I hope you appreciate that it was just an experiment, although I might try to make an adaptation to my style of Black Rock Shooter. I don't know, I'm a little obsessed with the character now.

The Eternal Lover ("Favole: Stone Tears" - Victoria Francés)

The original is not mine. I drew this from a trilogy called "Favole" written and illustrated by the Spanish artist Victoria Francés (The original can be found in page 22 of the first book).
The title for this drawing comes from a story my mother made up for her. Actually I had forgotten about that story until I found this drawing.
I like the leaves and the hair, but I don't like neither the clothing, nor the wings (they were that small in the original as well) and I'm not quite convinced about the face

The Waiting ("Favole: Stone Tears" - Victoria Francés)

The original is not mine. I drew this from a trilogy called "Favole" written and illustrated by the Spanish artist Victoria Francés (The original can be found in page 8 of the first book).
I'm not happy with the plants of the lake, and the tree branch looks a lottel weird, but I love the hair, I think I did the dress pretty decently and the leaves look like they are moving.
I love this drawing for the sensation of she waiting for something, looking to the skyline. Like there is still hope. I don't know. I can't describe it

Fables: The Princess and the Frog

It started out as the drawing of "A Frog's Eye-View" from "Fables: 1,001 Nights of Snowfall", but the eyes looked a little different, actually the whole face was looking similar, but not the same as in the drawing, so did the hair, and when I did the waist was like "I want to do my own view of this!". So I started making more hair and making some loose ends, like it wasn't perfectly combed, then I changed the position of the arms, and put the frog on the ground, so she would be looking at him from above. I kept the way the dress was, but the pattern is different, and the waves on the dress have changed. I made my little version of the flowers, though they still look quite the same. The trees and the surroundings are basically the same as in the drawing, but I changed the distances.
I hope you like this interpretation.
By the way, when I scanned the drawing I make it so it would "restore the colour of a Photo", that's why it looks so weird, but it's because the original I wanted to draw was in green shades. So I thought this might look nice.
