STICK WITH THE FAMILY!

My 2nd contribution for @turbofox-zines Volume II project was a whole sticker sheet page! I hope everyone who purchased the physical zine has a blast with them 💞

ROCKETS #2 & #1 

painted wood, aluminum needle

6½"x 3¼"x 3¼"

In 2017 I made two rockets to go into a collaborative sculpture. The rocket was designed to be a shorter and simpler version of Tintin’s rocket in ‘Destination Moon’. The two rockets were painted in several coats of a sandable white primer, and the rocket to go into the collaborative sculpture was painted with red  acrylic paint using a paintbrush so you could see the brushstrokes — it was supposed to be painterly to match the painted areas in the collaborative work. This second rocket — the fallback rocket in case the first one got broken while attaching it to the collaborative — was left simply with the primer for some months. After a while I decided to go ahead and paint it only this time I used glossy red spray paint and then sealed all over with glossy clear lacquer to look more like Tintin’s rocket. It now sits on the living room mantle.

Below is the more painterly first rocket as fitted into the work done collaboratively with Marti Forkner Vernon and Micah Gougen.

ROLL BACK THE ROCK!

My art entry for @fossil-fighters-zine 's project dedicated to this beloved childhood game! I took the mantle in portraying the wackiest NPC in the game because, ya know, I vibe with freaks like Nick Nack x'D And YEAH: piled up his quintessential vivosaur team of "rhinosaurs", gosh! That brontoth (the blue) especially gave me trouble 💫 But in the end, became such a rendering challenge I'm proud af to have finished!

You can download the Zine for [Free Here!] I suggest checking it to get a full res and without the noisy texture version of my art, but to look at the epic pieces each one of the participants made for it!

Roll a DICE to the RESCUE!

My (first) double-page contribution to @turbofox-zines 's TF Fanzine/Art Anthology: the RBA Zine, in all its glory!

Well, here is upscaled thrice so, I suggest everyone check the full monster of a piece by [Downloading it here] the whole booklet because there's so much precious art and writing (we even got a special guest story!) that deserves the support.

This illustration is extra special to me because it marks my first time working on a double page instead of my usual one-page piece. It's the first time I let my Graphic Designer knowledge take credit for the lettering, text, and graphic components to make this a full-functional board game (it works beautifully printed in an A3!).

The admins even let me contribute with the little character graphics to decorate the zine pages, something I was delighted about ♥

Now, as always I'll share my art process under the cut because a lot was going out during the journey to make this piece look as professional as you see it now. I hope everyone enjoys it as much as I did, thank you to all for the support ✨

SWEET TOOTH

My mixed-media illustration entry for @anthologyofartists 's OC zine!!! I'm posting on socials the noisy-watermarked and reduced-in-size version: for the whole visual experience (and even extra behind-the-scenes commentaries), I suggest [Downloading the Zine PDF] on their Itchio page, FOR FREE! 🎉

This was my first experience participating in an art anthology that wasn't fandom themed, and I can say I HAD A BLAST! I always wanted to have the opportunity to show off not only my skills but my love for my OCs, especially my hungry flying furball [Noddie] 💖

I had a ton of emotional support during the process, and even if I couldn't participate in the rest of the monthly prompts (because they even hosted extra ideas to follow up if you wanted), I can say I never felt behind during all of those months seeing everyone showing off their WIPs and gushing about their characters x3

Thank you for the opportunity!!! 🍬🦋🍬🦋🍬🦋

PAINTED DREAMS

My entry for the @bulkheadzine ! You can get a better look at it by downloading the digital booklet [HERE] I suggest doing that because there are lots of beautifully crafted artworks (and fanfics omg) showcasing this precious character through not only different continuities but art style expressions 💚 I'm still in awe from seeing the process of each creative member of this project and working along them, thank you so much!

And if you have time for it! You'll do wonders in sharing the fanzine in other places, so many more people can enjoy it!: [Instagram] 💚 [Twitter].

OH! Do you see something unusual in my artwork? Part of it was not only made as a digital collage (use of patterns and real photos to create a scene) but I even made a figurine of Bulkhead for it! I'll put more details about it under the cut x).

POSSESSION

I can finally show the full piece I did for the @primitivebeastszine ! In contrast to the other piece for another zine I showed months ago, I up to eleven the scratchy rendering trying to blend it with the photography collage under it! I think it suits perfectly the frizzled feeling of our poor Waspy being struck by the freaky spark force of someone as chaotical as Starscream x'D. This was A LOT OF WORK! The only elements that are mirrored are Screamer's ghost face and the wings, but the rest is done all from scratch, and the textures and photos were properly adjusted to work together: only on Waspinator's body, there's a total of 50 individual layers of elements!!!.

Under the cut, I will leave more details of the process for the ones curious x3
