Nahual reloaded

Published on June 30th, 2007 under Comics, Process | Leave your thoughts »

Its 6:17am in Monterrey and Im very excited!!

I finish some pencils for Nahual, one of my 3 comic book projects (the others are Hölkan, a weekly webcomic and Openhaüs, a comic book with short stories by my girl and me). In past, I publish 2 issues of Nahual in minicomic format but now I want to work in a regular comic book format. Theres no date to publish Nahual, we (the inker and I) are working with no deadlines, this could be selfpublished in some point of 2008 but I really dont know.

Im having so much fun :)


The main character, Crisostomo Cruz, alias El Nahual.

Funny Games

Published on October 2nd, 2006 under Design, Illustration, Movies, Process | Leave your thoughts »

This time I want to show the process work for the Funny Games contest. The film directed by Michael Haneke needed a jacket design for his Spanish release. After knowing the synopsis and rules, I brought several ideas on my head, so I hold a pencil and my sketchbook…


First, I thought about making a composition with the hi-res photos that they provided to us but it had been the easy way; so I choose an illustration (more compatible to which I make to eat). Before drawing the illustration I put myself to sketch schemes of the elements distribution (illustration, letters, logo) and then, I thought that it could draw the title typography based on my own writing, this photo show options that later would be render in Illustrator.
