DEADPOOL KILLUSTRATED #1 page 7

Some weeks ago I finished my work on DEADPOOL KILLUSTRATED.

It was so much fun working on it I'm still thrilled and honored to have been part of the creative team!

So, thank you Jordan, Cullen, Mike, Sean, Veronica and everyone else involved in this great experience. A very special thank also to my friend Marcello for his "steampunk" help. A super special thank to my wife Francesca for tolerating me and my working times.

I guess now that almost all issues have been published I could start posting more of the pages I did for the DEADPOOL KILLUSTRATED mini-series, starting from issue 1.

So here I am, on my birthday with this good proposition not to let the blog catch too much dust.

I'll post each day a new page, hoping you'll like them, so stick around here if you're intereted.

Ciao!

This is part of a piece I'm doing for fun and to loosen up a bit. More to come.

DEADPOOL KILLUSTRATED

I'm not the best PR of myself. To be true I really really suck at this. I know.
I really should do something about it, it's really embarrassing to announce comics I worked on weeks or months after they've been published or not even writing anything at all (last 10 pages on Deadpool #62 being an example), but not this time!!!

TA-DAAAAAN!!!

I'm VERY proud to announce that I'm working on a new Deadpool miniseries called DEADPOOL KILLUSTRATED written by the awesome Cullen Bunn, edited by the fantastic Jordan White.
Let me just say it's so fun to work on a story like this that I feel so lucky, privileged and happy I can't wait to finish to write this and get back to work.

Anyway, here's the cover of the first book (the cover art by Mike del Mundo is AMAZING!!)

and here are some link to announcements/interviews:

I doubt it but I hope to have spare time to post something soon!

Drapery/Cape test

Lately I find less and less attractive to draw what I usually know how to draw. It's like I need new goals or new motivations to improve my drawing skill.
So, in this constant struggle to fill some of my (big) gaps in my "artistry" I thought I need to study drapery much more.
Here's a test I colored quickly (and badly) using a Thor as subject (I know his boots are different but I like loose boots). I didn't use references at all, it would have come out much better but I would have learned much less. I'm still undecided if I should try a new study with refs this time.
