An empty city

Ups... it has been a long time since the last time... ( = 3 =)

It is an old sketch done two or three years ago. I was improving my perspective skills... and I think that the result is good enough.

La picconatrice pazza

Legend says that if you say three times "Messinian" in front of an outcrop, the Crazy Geologist appears and chases you armed with her pick.

About the picture: It's an avatar (of me) done while I was in a Italian geologic workshop. The joke about the "Messinian" is a geologic joke (don't bully me for it XD). 

Messinian is a geologic stage which had often been mentioned during this course. I ended up tired to hear this word... And then, some weeks later, I started my PhD. About how has the Tyrrhenian evolved during the Messinian.

...

Now, I'm mentally insane. XD

Ah! And about the tittle: in fact "picconatrice" means "pneumátic pick" in italian (I'm pretty sure about it), and "pazza" means "crazy".

Sketching more characters...

---

Another fast sketch, done while I should be writing my thesis... 

Anyway, he is one of the main characters of an oncoming work: Tu (my boyfriend doesn't know it... but he is inspired by him).

A girl reading

Wow!! We reached 1000 visits!! I would do something to celebrate it... but I hadn't enough time to think about it ... actually I'm working like mad into my PhD. But, in any case, a lot of thanks to be here!!

About the art: I found it in an old folder of my old computer... I tryed to paint it using comic patterns done in photoshop.

XV Certámen de Cómic del Ayuntamiento de Las Rozas.

(en castellano => debajo de la imagen)

Again, I'll switch to Spanish to talk about another comic contest. Probably, in a future, I'm going to look for international contest... when I have enough free time to look for it. But by the way, if you know other competitions, you can notice me and I will publish it here. ;)

This page belongs to last year winner: Xela.

Hoy os traigo otro concurso de cómic. Esta vez se trata del Certámen de Cómic del ayuntamiento las Rozas. Es un concurso ya veterano, y podéis ver los ganadores de años anteriores en su web. Si os interessa, os podeis descargar las bases desde la misma página en formato pdf.

Y por último, por si os interessa... en la misma web de www.rozasjoven.es, si chafardeaís la pestaña de certámenes en el menú superior... podéis encontrar otras convocatorias que no tienen nada que ver con el cómic, pero si con otras artes como la música, o la fotografía... ;)
