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?

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 ...

These are the female elfs, I was going to draw her nude, but... some people can get offended, everybody gets offended for almost anything nowadays... On Facebook, I am promoting my book. One dude did put some partially nude  females and some women immediately retaliated, they were accusing this dude and his pictures of being sexist...The funny thing in this situation is that we males, drawing these kind of pictures, are consciously or sub consciously  loving the idea of some scantly dressed fantasy woman appearing in our dull and boring realities. What is the problem with that? We are males, we love to see almost naked ladies, almost naked and fit ladies, I mean, it is printed in our genes; we are constantly looking for female healthy individuals. If we project that into our everyday life style, do we need to be condemned? In the last post I was going to talk about my love-hate relationship with ants. In Mexico, we have these everywhere: When I was little, I though...

The real Narco Mexico

These are some of the different classes of Saurians . The Trackers have enhanced senses of smelling, hearing, and seeing. They are widely used in Saurian patrols to pursue or locate their enemies.  Changelings can "transform" into their enemies (provided, these don't have great smelling senses, or magical traps). Changelings are used as infiltrators; their job is to sow panic and chaos behind enemy ranks. Fighters or Soldiers tend to be shorter, bulkier, but stronger. They can't move swiftly as the previous classes, instead, they are fighting masters, and are the most resilient of them. They are an important faction in my book: Magika Scientifica B1: Tainted Sun   As you can see, I did use some delimiting line to mark them... it is really hard to just drop that thin black line... so... mea culpa, mea culpa. By the way! Happy holidays and etcetera . The real great thing about these holidays is that the family gets together, and you can infect ot...
