Void Kirby Art Nintendo NES Illustration

I've been thinking about Kirby for a while now, about what it is. It has a male name but the character is androgynous. It absorbs thing endlessly because it doesn't have any bottom, so why is that? It's just a silly video game character like any other, but even tough... Mario for me makes more sense, or any other character from that time, but this? this pink blob. When I try to make sense of it (doesn't make any sense anyway) Kirby is this extraterrestrial, spawned from a black hole that feeds from light... it feeds from light! isn't that crazy and scary? it eats a thing that you can't touch!
That's why i think of it as of Void Kirby.

Metroid Samus Aran Fan Art - Acrylic on paper 40x29 cm

The original Metroid game was inspired from the 1979 film Alien. It had a female protagonist, one of the main bosses was called Ridley (the directors last name) and the levels, together with the whole game had a HR Giger feeling to them.

There are too many Samus representations out there showing her doing cool stuff in "WOW!" like angles. My idea here was to take her back to the NES side scrolling era, and instead of making here "cool" again, I would concentrate on the mood and the atmosphere.

I tried to recreate this mechanical and organical feeling of the levels, which is again, very HR Giger inspired. So I looked back to the original Alien movie and took Samus and put her in this dark, Prometheus-like environment.

I gave the suit a sligtly femenine form to mark the fact that there is a women inside. She also looks a little extraterrestial, kind of Xenomorphic.

The blue light in the background was made because i liked the tought that there were Ovomorphs (Alien eggs) laying there ready to hatch.

Obscurecido por las Nubes - Comic por R4FU 2000

Yet another old comic book which I dusted of and decided to upload.

This one is from 1999-2000 when I was a teenager in high school. It kinda tells the story of my first love, my platonic love for this girl who went in the same class as I.

This comic book began to grow under my hands because of the struggle I had being shy, and not telling this girl how I felt about her.

At the same time I started to study art in high school which helped me improve my technique.

This comic is in spanish only.

Succubus - Comic por R4FU 2004

Weeks before I left my homeland to move to Sweden, I gave a friend of mine a copy of this comic. The writing doesn't make any sense, it was later incorporated just because I felt the pages needed to have something written on it... they didn't. It's all about the visual aspect of it and my emotional state at the time. I was young and also in love when I drew this, so of course everything had to be overly dramatic.

The comic is only in spanish but you won't be missing anything if you don't speak the language.

Megaman / Rockman Fan Art - Acrylic on Paper 40x29 cm

In this Megaman I decided to give the background a bigger role. While I was looking at some screenshots to make another Megaman illustration, I found this one from a GameBoy version and it got me thinking. I liked it from the beginning because a saw all the stuff that could be reworked in a 3D environment, the deep atmosphere and the effects that I could experiment with here got me working on it immediately.

 
The environment here received a huge attention. I spent many days slowly working on it, this couldn't be rushed because I wanted this detailed, mechanical and dirty background.

After building up the background I continued on the electric bolt. Here I started to make electric noises while painting and humming a Megaman boss fight song.
Some times in the middle of the painting, I would stop for a moment and play the classic Megaman games to try to relive the feelings the game gave me as a child, this would always help me to bring something new to the work.















So after adding some lightning effects and having the background practically finished, I started then to work on the actual character. In contrast to the other Megaman I made, this one felt more "sparkly" and "techy", this gave me the headpoint to make another Megaman in a similar style.

9 Illustrations of Ents - Lord of the Rings

These sketches made with graphite pencil on paper took me 1 hour each to draw. That was the main goal, only 1 hour to come up with an idea and draw it down fast. It was undoubtedly very hard. Ideas that work great in your head don't always make a good transition to reality.

There where originally 13 sketches but I left 4 out because of their low quality.
