Another picture created to illustrate a sci-fi tale for a magazine. This one was about the famous string theory experiment about the dead-cat-alive-cat-in-the-box. If you don´t know about it google it.
The image depicts the moment some crazy scientist wife comes into the lab looking for her missing cat. Well you know where it is…
Watercolor and ink.

It was a tale about a future society where there was a forgotten natural placed kept entirely by robots as humans didn´t cared about nature anymore.

Created for a greeting card company a few years ago and it shows exactely the type of characters i get out of my graphic style.
Also it has water, ocean and sea in it wich is something that i love to draw.
I try to put some water in every pic i do.

Cradle

This image was created a couple of years ago as a personal project for an old comics story i was making at the time, but one that i never finished because i wasn´t pleased with the characters. Meanwhile i displayed this illustration in several online galleries and people seemed to have liked it a lot, mainly because of the theme and of the cinematic look of the whole drawing.

Underwater Kingdom

I don´t do many underwater scenes altough i love the theme, but this one came up because a client requested a seascape like that for a project. As i had to do it, i used this drawing also to practise some watercolor techniques i wanted to try for some time and the result was this illustration.
Later this became the main inspiration for the new first pages of the remake of The Adventures of Prince Ziph comics, and it has become one of my most commented picture i have posted on the internet.
