VINES from Soulcraft Comics

VINES is the title of the next project I'll be working on. As TRIBES, VINES will be produced by Michael Geszel's Soulcraft Comics.

As the writer of this project, Ben McCool, best describes it in his blog... "VINES is a fast-paced and outlandish action/adventure, wherein a dark twisted jungle has literally overwhelmed New York City. METNAL, the lowest most despicable level of the nine Mayan hells, also rears its sinister head, and the aftermath is unlike anything you'll have ever seen before..."

Sounds cool? I think it does, and I'm absolutely excited about it. I have already started the visual development and it's going to be a visual feast. I'm going to be drawing all kinds of treats!

It's being written by the incredible (and I mean it) Ben McCool, and I sure as hell couldn't be happier. Check out CHOCKER, by himself and Ben Templesmith, coming out soon from Image Comics.

As soon as I am able to show some image of VINES, I will.

Thanks,

TRIBES: The Dog Years, next year from IDW

I know it's been really too long since I last posted, but I've been busy with many many things.

As my friend Eva posted in her blog, she's just six pages away (now she must be five or four I guess) from being done with the coloring of TRIBES: The Dog Years, which means that I am done with the pencils myself.

I can also very happily announce that the graphic novel is coming out next year by IDW Publishing. This is a very nice news for me, as I consider IDW one of the best publishers in the american market and it's a true honor to have my work published under their logo.

TRIBES has been a long road to walk, and I'm already very proud of what we have accomplished... I just can't wait to see it printed and on my hands. Once I know the actual dates for solicitation I'll let everybody know.

Here's a step by step working process of page 125 from the breakdowns to the final coloring by Eva (I wish I had the blue pencil stage to show too, but I forgot to scan it, sorry)... and yes, kids can be pretty violent!



So please stay tunned... TRIBES: The Dog Years, next year by IDW!!!

Thanks,

Inaki

PS: next post.... VINES...

Shadowmancer covers

Here are some old covers (it's been like three years, maybe more, can't remember right now) I did for the GP Taytlor's Shadowmancer comic published by Markosia and adapted by Tony Lee. Colors are of course by Eva de la Cruz.


As always, thanks for looking...

Watercolor Spider-man

TRIBES...pages 1 to 16 and running...

For anybody out there who hasn't been dropping by SOULCRAFT's website, I thought I'd let you know there's a very cool TRIBES website running over there, with character and setting designs from the comic. AND, most important... they've been and are uploading pages of the book each week for everybody to read.

So if you haven't visited the site yet, please go and enjoy.

Thanks

Starship Troopers

Here's a cover I did for the Starship Troopers series published by Markosia. Colors: Eva de la Cruz.

Killing time

These are some drawings I did years ago, while working in a videogames company. I had no work to do, and at that moment I was listening to the Lord of the Rings and Forrest Gump soundtracks. So I thought of drawing the little still shots that came in the CD books (do they have a specific name?--I mean the little books with the lyrics and stuff) just to kill time off.

Thanks for looking.
