Tribute to Chuck

Hell-o,

And yet another illo uploading, this time a tribute drawing to Chuck Schuldiner´s Death  by his early masterpieces, " Scream bloody gore", and "Leprosy". As you can see I highly got inspired by those albums covers, creating that illo for a tribute party, which sadly never saw the light of the night though....

Anyway, here it goes my humble homage to both geniuses; the talented illustrator Ed Repka, and the myth, Chuck schuldiner, creator of Death Metal music style and brilliant musician.. May you legacy  live forever!!

Spiders

Hells,

It´s time to feature another old illustration related to horror// sci fi, entitled "spiders" ( due to the slaying  arachnid like aliens depicted on it),  Once again,  created under one of my bus trips, back when I used to attend my graphic design classes. The final rendering got something blurred, but all in all I stil got positive feedback from this (like how to ruin a piece by adding too much detail haha).

So, the advice for today would be something like; "Never trust an arachnid like alien couple, wishing to feed their batch...:-P "

Rojo Omega shirt design

Hi again,


Thanx to Myspace had the chance to work with  this unserious band, who, despite, of   previously giving green light to my shirt design sketch, they decided to decline our mutual collaboration. These kind of behaviours are nothing new in the bizz, sadly, but at least I was able to get some up front cash before that....

Anyway, the design is here for you to see and comment. let me see your views on it.


Think that red colours fit very well to the band logo, right??

Pictorical blasphemy

Hell there,


Almost a month or so without updates, but who´s counting , right?:-)

Time to unburied another piece, created under my inspirational bus trips. It´s really amazing how  my feelings can  inspire me so much in a theoretically so few comfortable place for an artist...

Anyway, here you have an illo I decided to call  "Pictorical blasphemy", on which  I drew  a horror creature made of  many terror topics, such as reptile monsters, skulls, bats, and such....

Still on sale if interested.

Tortured skull sketch

Hell- o out there,

Since this sketch seemed to gain alot of recognition during the time I uploaded to facebook, I think I should post here in my blog art aswell. What it started as a simple bus sketch during a doom driven travel home, If followed with a tortured photoshopped version of a very rough pencils, but with a lot of feedback for waht I´ve seen.
Personally I don´t think it is so killer design as many have stated, but this only demonstrates how unexpected fussy this artistic business is,right?

Marthyrium shirt design

As talked in previous post, here you are the final design  shirt for Marthyrium Black Metal band,  depicting an upsided down skull cross whic a goat skull on its top, and another different one on the "crossroads" made from both elements of the cross. In that skull I decided to add a sorrounding chain to give the skull a more metallic menacing vibe ( if possible), and rest of cross is made of human skulls, being inspired in the old Swedish Death Metal imaginery ( like Excruciate´s logo) and in the sentence given by Alvaro from the band , "summoning the scythe of human extinction".

Despite the design wasn´t used on shirts, Alvaro paid  my work and kept the cross for future band designs, and would like to state He´s the most serious client I´ve ever had. I wish everybody in this business were like him...

Luxi Lahtinen´s b- day gift

As headline says, this is my birthday present  to Luxi Lahtinen, cult Finnish illustrator (who made Death Metal band Avulsed logo, Abhorrence ep cover,or  debut  album cover and original Sentenced stuff, among others). Dedication is made in Finnish, saying something like "Fucking morbid birthday!!! Rot in Metal forever....".

Really cool, isn´t it?:-)

Pest Bringer

Raising from the very bowells of my old archives from 2010, here I introduce you my supposedly zine mascot, the keeper of grimorium section called Pest bringer. Love all the idea, but have to admit my anatomical mistakes make the piece gets lowered in terms of quality. Anyway, still like it, taking into account how old the drawing is.

Lidl´s bald zombie

 Based on the bald president of Spanish Lidl supermaket, back in ´10 I decided to make this funny drawing in order to get a cool one for Ataraxy debut cd layout. Despite anatomical mistakes and such, I still like the vibe of it.

Ascended flyer design

 my art flyer design

 Hell there, i´m proud to upload to my little space in the net my old ´09 published flyer art for killer Finnish death metallers Ascended, on which some some praying zombies are showcased raising from their tombs, ready to prey on the living. Kiitos to Lassi from the band for this opportunity, May the rotten spirit never dies!!

Final  published piece

Romantic dinner

This is an sketch from 2009 aswell, depicting a zombie dinner, feasting on a not very lucky girl :-P, which was created under a bus trip and influenced by my Death Metal obssession. I don´t really know why I never finished it, since I still like the idea. Some day I guess....

Swamp dweller

MUGRE # 2 cover

Back to  2009 with an oldie cover for MUGRE newsletter, depicting Mugrito,  the zine monster pet created by me, showing his "discomfort" with some poor workers caught in the wrong place at the wrong time. Life is sooo unfair... :-P

Freezing Gargoyle

This time I uploaded an old illo from ´09, depicting my obssession for Lovercraftian monsters. Those of you Metallers out there can recognize my little Mayhem tribute on it??:-).

Entropy Angel design

 Hi again, As you can read, I´ve uploaded an old design from 2009 called "Entropy angel", which was originally intended for the French  Black Metal music band Merrimack.  This Reptilian angel was originally meant to be some sort of apocalypse satanic angel, but under Orthodox religious views ( therefore the praying attitude and such.). Being first one original idea, and down below under photoshop manipulation. Hope you like.

Punk lizard for Estrambóticos magazine # 4

Hi there, here you have my newest pencil illustration for the prologue of Spanish sci fi pulp magazine Estrámboticos, on which I´m working since it´s previous number ( where I illustrated a killer classic zombie tale). I was told to represent Wrath, so I came up with this monster lizard. Hope you like, thanx for watching and commenting!
