The evolution of my drawings...

I have always loved to draw. that was perhaps the reason why I never got any good grades back in my school, I was busy drawing... I used to draw some really nasty things... the cartoonists in Mexico have always been a little explicit, and coming from the liberal mexican family that I come from, we would get newspapers like "La Jornada" with cartoons like these:

Which was perfectly suitable for boys around that age. Boys at that age, love to see tits, violence and chaos, change my mind, I dare you... anyway. 

Problem was that my drawings were bad, or maybe not that bad, maybe with the same style that this cartoonist (Trino) is drawing, which is not very "aesthetic".

Around that age, japanese cartoons were invading our children's minds. There was this little boy who loved to draw the "caballeros del zodiaco" which was really popular in Mexico, that and the simpsons, and the human mind is wonderful, you grow when you meet new people, you grow when you meet new things in life: comics, series, movies, etc. He helped me a lot into having a new style of drawing.


And then you can be a great artist with a pen and a piece of paper, and nowadays there's also the digital drawing, and I know that I still have a long way to go, but I wanted to share with you, strange online companions, my different set of drawings that I have been creating for the purpose of the promotion of my book (I feel that I put so many of's),


These I made them with Gimp... Back when I thought that Gimp was a good option, Vadralisk on top, and stone troll under it... The only thing I like from gimp is that the splines are really easy to make.

Then I discover other options, photoshop, and some other option from Autodesk (I don't remember its name)



And that leaves us until today, where I am using Krita,

I would like to think that I'm getting better... Still! Today I was looking at the digital works of Piotr Jablonski (fucking awesome!), and I was hoping on some day being able to do such great things, one can always dream, right?

Elf squad

"One of Menna's magical traps violently sprung off: a ghostly form could be seen fighting it, but for now remained immobilized. Ferana gripped her twin blades in expectation. She didn't make a sound, but everyone prepared themselves for the oncoming battle" This is part of the second book... It has, right now, 86 pages, but I think it will be larger than the previous one . That's the first one... I have been thinking about how some novels are better as series, and some others are better as movies. Is like with music; there is music to dance, and there is music just to listen Movies that should have been series: All the Harry Potter movies Bright Movies that are good as movies: The Lord of the Rings And series that are good as series: Game of Thrones And you know why? HP is almost a diary. When you read it, you are immersed into the daily routine of Harry with their friends, and there is a lot of background stories (common stuff h...

Darkness Inside

I am still playing Battle of Wesnoth. Addictive and difficult to master. It has some strategy in it as well as some basic rules. My most experienced Ghast has 123 Hp, my Spectre is at 53 Hp, Nightgaunt at 50 Hp, and one of my sorcerer has 92 Hp. But you can tell that we are in deep trouble. It's the 19th turn and the Orcs are still deploying units. I remember playing this a few years ago. Ubuntu was an almost new creation, you were seeing it everywhere. It promised of a better future for computers, a brighter place for free software, but it stalled. On that particular moment, I was having trouble with my own computer. I probably got it inside the Pirate Bay without protection. A proper analogy of this is to put a famished white skinny boy into a maximum security mexican prison... he is going to get his ass raped. I decided to do the unthinkable, I ditched windows and installed a brand new copy of Ubuntu. I then started tried to do everything into this new ambient. H...

from bad authors & more

First... let me show you guys my freaking new books ... which are pretty cool Me and my family bought some of them, I gotta tell you that these are way better than the "proof" books, perhaps they put more effort when the customers are "real".  I was pretty happy when they arrived, so happy that I continued my second book, well, that and the fact that I have a little more time for the writing.  We are in Tlaxcala, another state in Mexico... it's really cold and windy, but the panoramics are something wonderful. This is my real job, we are specialists in mechanical vibration analysis, so we go and check different machines, and we also give a technical training to analysts... I lied to you guys, I am not really an author, If I were, I would already be dead of starvation or something. The Tlaxcaltecas were an indigenous tribe in Mexico, they were paying tribute to the triple alliance ( Mexicas, Texcoco, and Tlacopan )... Indigenous tribes in Mexico ...
