Amazon Women in the Mood 001

This new project takes checks many boxes in my interests. Futurama, science fiction, amazons, Frank Frazetta drawing amazons, sexy ladies, black and white drawings, sexy ladies,  pen and ink, sexy ladies. You get the point. 

This project focuses on the Episode "Amazon Women in the Mood". Where the cast is marooned on a planet full, and ruled by women. I got this idea about a year ago after getting a new sketchbook.

I started with one that stood out to me, this lovely lady. With here very unique head-dress, while not also the simplest stood out from the 3 main amazon characters and the rest. 

 

 I did this first sketch  in the middle of last year. did on pen and ink the actual drawing is about 6 inches tall only. Very happy with this drawing but I know this could be done better. 

This was done this weekend final pencils on Canson 15x20 white drawing paper. I used Leona Chirclow as reference on the face I will probably have to fix the eyes a bit.  I will be adding the inks next.

Piktaw Comix @ Summer Komikon 2013

On April 13, 2013 the bi-annual Komikon was held at the Bayanihan Center. I had taken part in the Komikon a few times as visitor, once as volunteer in 2011, and now as an Independent Comic Book Creator. 

  

 

This is all the Indie Comix preparing minutes before Convention Opens. This is my little booth.

 It was pretty cliche what I was feeling that morning. Its the quiet before the storm.

Then it opens and ... BOOM

 

The first picture actually illustrates the crush that happened right before 12nn. This would die down and repeat a few times during the day. 

 

 

Highlights of the day that I remembered to photograph: (Top Left to Right) My First sale of the day (or ever), and next someone that should be my target audience. He and his lovely friend(they're both lovely for stopping buy) visit and bought a copy of my best selling book. (Middle) Artist extraordinaire Wilson Tortosa visits my site during the afternoon, one of a few artists that popped by and had and exchange of words with me about my work. Apart from artists I also had visits from collectors who were impressed with my non-comic book illustrations. (Bottom) Cosplayers: Was very fun to see theme anywhere, and had a very nice talk with anglophile "Hitch Hikers Guide to the Galaxy" cosplayer, apologies I should have gotten your name.  

In this part know my friend took my camera and went around the venue to survey the event. One downside about being part of the Indie Tiangge is not getting around the event as much as I want, that aside I could still get around fairly enough.

Philippine Komix veterans showing us how its done. Damn! These guys are good. 

 

 Yet even more artists on the spot. 

Freedom wall. 

Now this was INSANE. Manix Abrera creator of  Kikomachine was signing copies of his new book for over 6 freaking hours! He's probably the rockstar of the event. Well, him and the makers of Trese Budjette and Kajo. Note to the organizers of KOMIKON: Next time please don't put the most popular creators/books next to each other and then place them along the way to the exit.

 Nice to see friends on the day too. Jomike Tejido fellow architect and illustrator check out his stuff.

 

Found mutual friends with Jomike in Robert Magnuson who I met at last years Komikon and had him critique my work. Also met up with Randy finally, but when I was leaving the event. 

Finally making my way out of Komikon. Bitter sweet as it is it's an experience I enjoyed having and would not think twice about doing it again. Indie Tiangge was a blast. A BIG THANK YOU  to all who bought my books. So happy even with the interest you showed at my table was enough vindication for the work and craft I put in. Sincerely hope you enjoyed it even though one of them is a bit of a bummer. Enjoy. 

 Oh, who I bumped into at Jollibee.

And BIGGEST THANKS to Jeremy Balagat for the day. You know what you did.

Well thats part one of my Manila week of conventions. Happily the next one was 4 days away. 4 days I used to play Ni No Kuni and Journey and eating spaghetti all day!
