RWorld es un pequeño sketchbook que reunirá la mayor parte de los rediseños de personajes que he ido acumulando durante estos dos últimos a raíz de mi participación en los hilos Remake/Remodel, que promovía Warren Ellis mientras estuvo a cargo de los foros Whitechapel. Muchos ya los habéis visto aquí, en la web, pero ahora vendrán todos juntitos e impresos en un sketchbook formato comic que rondará las 24 páginas a todo color.

RWorld tiene fines puramente promocionales. Se trata simplemte de tostar unas cuantas copias para tenerlas a mano, llevarlas de paseo y enseñarlas por ahí. Aun así, habrá posibilidad de hacerse una copia en Lulu.com, para todo aquel que quiera encargar el suyo propio a un precio que seguramente será poco realista.

RWorld is a small sketchbook I’m putting together, containing most of the character redesigns I’ve drawn as a result of the Remake/Remodel threads Warren Ellis used to promote in the Whitechapel forums. Some of those are already available here in my website, but this time We’ll get them all together and printed in a fancy sketchbook around 24pages long.

RWorld has a promotional purpose only. I’m printing a handful of copies to have around and show at cons. However, you’ll have the chance to print your own via Lulu.com. This is mainly a collection of pictures, but there’s some back matter in there too, so keep in mind all text will be in spanish. And yeah, I know print on demand is expensive. Sadly this is the best I can do for now.

It’s been a while since I made one of these for the last time. This is my entry for the latest Remake/Remodel challenges at the Whitechapel Forums. Here’s a brief description of Jenny Greenteeth:

“Jenny Greenteeth is a figure in English folklore. A river hag, she would pull children or the elderly into the water and drown them. She was often described as green-skinned, with long hair, and sharp teeth.
She is likely to have been an invention to frighten children from dangerous waters similar to the Slavic Rusalka, the Kappa in Japanese mythology, or Australia’s Bunyip, but other folklorists have seen her as a memory of sacrificial practices”.

Yes, We were there too. Photographs by myself, @Miguelmtzlosa, @Pintamonas and @Ultramanu. Text blurb vía wlcentral.org, licensed under a Creative Commons Attribution-ShareAlike 3.0 Unported License. More info on all this mess here.

Marc de Groot, who writes an interesting blog on nonsport trading cards has just published a short interview with me. I did my best to answer his questions, but I wish my English was better and I had a better profile picture.

How did you get into drawing sketch cards?
Here’s the story. Every year, my friends and I attend a local convention and, whenever I can, I like doing some kind of giveaway there. A couple years ago I bought some cardstock and painted a dozen or so sketchcards. I was carrying them in my pocket during the con and gave them away, by surprise, to whoever crossed my way.
Months later, a few scans of those same cards I’d given away got me my first professional gig. I put together a small submission and…

This is my entry for a new Remake / Remodel challenge at the Whitechapel forums. This time We’re drawing these “station idents” for Mr. Ellis’s Blog. There’s a lot of good entries there and all I can do now is cross my fingers and hope mine gets chosen. Here’s the rules:

“There is a category called station ident on warrenellis.com.
A station ident is an image I would post first thing in the morning.
The only thing connecting them is that they HAVE to carry the following text:
this is warren ellis dot com
and that they HAVE to be legible and pretty at a width of 640px.
All the entries I like will be used as station idents on the site over the next several weeks.
So your entry HAS to be accompanied by your NAME and your WEBSITE ADDRESS of choice.
As you will see if you look through old station idents, using photos of yourself is perfectly fine”.
