COMIC ARTIST WANTED 8 pages - 30$ per Page.
(Se non leggete l'inglese, siete già inadatti, sorry)


Looking for ONE artist to do an 8-page job.


Requirements:

  • Able to read and write English.
  • Has a quite realistic/U.S. superheroes style. No cartoons or manga styles for this project. Maybe next time. ^_-
  • Able to draw athletic men with good anathomy.
  • Able to draw nice and beautiful girls (not oversexualized dolls).
  • Able to read a script and compose a full page of sequential art.
  • Able to prepare the final page in hi-res format with clear linearts and closed areas, ready for easier coloring job.
  • Able to write good, clear e-mails and to answer at least in 2 days when urgent stuff comes up.
  • Able to show us via e-mail the work in progress at different stages: layouts, pencils, inks...
  • ...and able to withstand costructive criticism and make corrections when required at any stage.


BEWARE: if you don't have some comic pages done to show us, you'll be required to do one. But I think that, if you're able to do all of the above, you'll have some DOZENS to show! ^_-


NOT a requirement:

  • photorealism (we want art, not photos with your art over it)
  • coloring


Is that too much? I don't think so, I know there's A LOT of good people out there!. ^_-



The artist will have his/her work printed on the very first Bluejaye issue, and will recieve 30 US$ per page when the job's done: if PayPal is ok for you, then we don't care where you live. U.S.A. and European Union citizens will probably have no problems even without PayPal, we'll figure a way).



Characters are by Gabe Dill
Script will be by Mattia Bulgarelli


Gabe & Mattia will be the ONLY ones to tell who the chosen artist will be.


Check out these artist's pages, too!
This is going to be a project you'll be proud to show around.


Pages 1-8 will be by Antonio Garcia
Pages 17-24 will be by Emanuela Lupacchino
Colors by Francesca Zambon (Yes, that's me!)
Cover by Michela Da Sacco
If you want to apply, contact Mattia Bulgarelli at korinduval (AT) yahoo (DOT) com!

Ho tirato fuori dall'armadio digitale (leggi: disco esterno) questa vecchia line art (anatomicamente non proprio corretta...) per sperimentare con un paio di tecniche di colorazione spiegate qui e qui.
Le critiche costruttive sono le benvenute, anzi vi chiedo di lasciarne qualcuna se potete. Cento punti extra per chi mi corregge l'anatomia! <3
Il disegno è ispirato a una foto della brava Carolina Kostner.

I pulled out of the closet (my external hard disk drive) this old (and anatomically less than perfect) line art to experiment with a couple of coloring techniques found here and here.
Constructive critiques are welcome, or should I say requested. Bonus points for those who will help me correct the anatomy. <3
Drawing inspired by a picture of  the Italian figure skater Carolina Kostner.

Ce la farò a terminare di colorare queste tavole di Manuela?

Will I ever be able to finish coloring these pages by Manuela?

Avatar!









Sono stata a vedere Avatar proprio ieri sera.
Non vi farò una recensione del film, su Internet ne potrete trovare parecchie e probabilmente migliori di quel che potrei scrivere. Dirò solo che il film merita la visione, nonostante sia chiaramente rivolto al grande pubblico e per questo prevedibile in molti passaggi. Soprattutto gli artisti non dovrebbero mancare di vederlo, perché visivamente è vivido, dettagliato tanto nella creazione dei personaggi che delle ambientazioni, ricco di immaginazione, e spesso si ha l'impressione di "trovarsi" lì. A me è piaciuto molto.

Se volete altre immagini del film ad alta risoluzione, potete trovarle qui.



I saw Avatar last night.

I'm not going to write a review of the movie for this blog; there are plenty on the Internet and most are probably better than whatever I could write. However, I will say that the movie deserves to be seen, despite being clearly aimed at a wide public and therefore predictable from time to time. Artists especially should not neglect to watch it, because it is visually bright and lifelike, detailed both in character and setting creation, imaginative, and you often feel like you "are" there. I loved it.

You can find more high-resolution images

Ho di nuovo Photoshop sul portatile

Dopo un'ardua lotta ce l'ho fatta. Grazie, Gesù.

After a long and strenuous fight with Windows 7 and the Adobe installer, I've got Photoshop back on my laptop. Thank you, Jesus.
