Ink&Color test.

This is one of the ink tests I did when I was thinking on doing my next album that way. This is the main character design, but please don´t look at his huge ear! :P Thanks for all the support received.

This looks very interesting! Colour version is really great.

Me mola de todas formas más la otra que me enviase. Con el color gana mucho, pero weno... ya sabes cómo me mola más a mi. Que por cierto... a mi me encanta esa oreja enorme y ese aire simiesco con las manos enormes y tal...

Enseña más, anda!

the draws are good for sure, but i'm not fond of your new color style. I think that kind of color is very common actualy in french comics. Your "ancient" style was the "fernandez style". But i may be wrong, i'm not drawer.

See you ;-)

la piedra donde esta apuyado(o columna)a pillado la misma forma y expresión que su cara.no se si lo ves o sabes que te digo,parecen 2 caras...la suya y luego la otra,sabes?que es un comentario desde la envidia eh!no me hagas ni caso:)

Enrique Fernandez said...

Thanks a lot for your comments, muchas gracias.
The ink test is , as it´s name say, only a test to evaluate the chances of doing that style. As I have said before, this tests lead me to do the new album on the same style as the previous ones (I agree with you Patrouchef, glad to read you here ;-)).
Someday I will come back to inks , as I like to try styles and techniques, but by now it´s quite annoying for me , not to mention that it makes me work twice slowly.
Aitor: El personaje principal se llama Kataoka Raijuro, y ya no puedo cambiarlo. ¡Por tu madre que no me hayas colado un nombre que signifique cualquier ridiculez!
Orion: Creo que lo veo! :)

beautiful things!

Antonio Santamaria said...

Enrique... Gracias antes de nada por mostrarnos estas cosas... nos creas ansiedad!!!! Y qué quieres que te diga.... a mí no me disgusta el tema de la oreja grande, es más lo veo muy equilibrado y de líneas fluídas. La cara (oreja incluída) es simplemente inquietante, atrayente... Mola!
Saludos....

P.S. Pero si me quieres convencer de lo contrario... pues nada... postea la versión definitiva... eh...!!! ;)

Beautiful ! You have so many secret skills ;) !

Enrique Fernandez said...

ANTONIO: Vaya truco! Picarme para ir sacando material! :) Aún no puedo sacar nada decente de la version final, iré sacando más pruebas y demás. Muchas gracias.

TSUKA: Thanks! Great to read you here. :)

Ego said...

Muy buen trabajo... Ahora tengo ganas de ver más... y un nivel más de envidia sana... jejeje. Suerte

Sedyas said...

Está bien verte en estilos de acabado diferentes, Enrique (y también mola este color).
En cuanto al dibujo, ¿tienes idea de hacer las proporciones tan deformadas? Lo digo porque, por ejemplo, la mano que sujeta el filo de la espada tiene la misma longitud que media pierna.

Un saludo
-Sed

Enrique Fernandez said...

Sedyas: La verdad es que pensaba hacer todo aún mucho más deformado y caricaturesco (conoces el blog de Patrick Mate?), que es lo que más me gusta, pero la historia quedaría un poco fuera de contexto, así que he tirado por algo menos distorsionado, más proporcionado.
Un saludo, Frad y Yacin.:)

Hi Enrique,

sorry my spanish is rotten( my english not really better but i don t know if you speak french).
I'm a big fan of your work, yours draws are fantastic and your colours too. You're a big artist.
In fact i write to you because i love "Bande dessinée", comics (how do you say that in spanish? ), and i appreciated especially works of artists who have a really personnal style, like you (or in France: David Sala, G Sorel, E Marini...).
And i dream about a book of interviews about this artists work. Interview about technics, something really practical, more about you're choice of framing, colours, papers than you re relation with you writer or you re editor.
A books of advice by great names of the comics.

Do you think that you can be interested by this project?
you can write me at : jeanyvesarnaud@yahoo.fr

soory for this too long message

Muy bueno, Enrique. Gracias por compartir tus proyectos.

Àlex López said...

Esto promete, esto promete!!
Me gusta el careto del Kataoka.

Realmente no tiene nada que ver con Oz.

Continue deleitándonos Master Enrique!!

Saludos!!

Just had to say hi as i've had the first OZ book since last years Annecy Film Festival. The weird thing was i never googled up your name until now. So once i found this i just had to say something. Esspecially since your work really is so immensely rich in design and color. Also your work reminds me of the best grafiti work out there as your designs have to be taken in! As a viewer you can't see what's going on and then the image hits you. I love that kind of work you really have to read it and it opens up to you in such a tremendous way! Anyways keep on doing your really nice immensely stilezed super works. Keep on pushing that envelope!

Kind regards,

Lars, from the Netherlands.
