A mushroom in the knee

Hi everybody!! the post of today is going to be a little diferent of the others, because this time I don't gonna show you a simple illustration, this time is a comic of three!! don't you think I'm so generous?! :D

Two weeks ago I started  to play a famous game on the new era called "The elder scrolls V: Skyrim" this game is a monstrous medieval sandbox! developed by Bethesda, full of thing to do, quest, wild creatures, dungeons, monsters, races, and all of the beauties of this kind of games, and obviously colorfull NPC's .

Part of the fame of this game on the web is because of a phrase that some town guard  (NPC's)  repeat when the player walks near them (which become a meme), this phrase is  " I used to be an adventurer like you, then I took an arrow in the knee" in fact I knew about this game because of the phrase!

Ok, like a big fan of nintendo, and more specific, of Super mario brothers, I wonder, How can I put this meme on mario's world? and a mushroom pops up from a box!, yes! a mushroom in the knee :P.

Well I hope you enjoy the little comic,cause It takes some time to be made. This is first of a series of comics that I going to make, talking about different topics, I'm going to do my best to post them one per week, but if I can't  try to be patient :D .

This is all of today, remember if you want to see any topic in illustrated in here, let me know on the newest post, see you around!! 

these are examples of the phrase in the game: An arrow in the knee

The mysteries of a game!

Greetings to everybody! The topic of today is something different  of that I ussually post because I want to show you a different illustration style, but if you're here to see the anime girl of this week don't worry, soon I'm going to post something that you gonna love!! :D, well let's get started!

The illustration of today was created because of two reasons, the first one, it was a commission, and the second, a game called "la loteria". Explaining the second one "the game" it is a mexican traditional "lucky" game,  like "bingo". The players marks a tablet with illustrations when this illustrations are taken from a card deck by another kind of player called "el gritón" (Barker) , the first player who marks all the tablet wins, but he must to say loudly "loteria". The card deck is made of 54 cards each card has an item illustrated, this items has an important meaning of the mexican culture.

One of this items is "el catrín" it represents a rich guy walking around who apparently was an important people on the days that the game was created, when this card is taken from the deck "el griton" says: "Don Ferruco en la alameda, su bastón quería tirar." (Mr. Ferruco walking on Alameda, his staff wants to throw away), this apparently means Mr. Ferruco was a grumpy guy. But in the card he is smiling, Why?, maybe the original artist tries to do a  favor to Mr. Ferruco.

Do you know something more about this card? I'm glad to read it! :D


Well the other reason: one day a friend of mine ask me for an illustration, and I said: "Yes, what do you want?".
He answer - I want a illustration of me but like a "catrin" because I want to put it in my new web site!!-,
and I say - What?-.

And here is. He prefers another stile, and I'm still working on it, so wish me luck to accomplish this mission!.

 See you on the next post!.

Realistic pocket monsters!!

One of my favorite pokemons, the combination between a turtle and a "magic" pump of water, this is Squirtle!.
I decided to illustrate it like this because I think it looks so gentle to me. This pokemon is full of mistery, why?, because their attacks are based on throwing water, like all of the water proper monsters, and when I see it on games like the last smash brothers, it makes me wonder; From where all this water come from?? is  physically imposible, too much volume of water within such a small turtle!, and don't talk  how a yellow mouse can generate to much electricity :S.


But don't think bad about me, these are only questions that I ask, I'm not criticizing the creatures at all, big part of their charm is to make this imposible things, posible, also I'm a bit fan of the pocket monsters! :D
Maybe in next posts I publish a comic trying to explain mysteries like it.


Well I hope you like the illustration of the week and comment and if you Don't, comment too!! :P 
criticism are appreciated! 
 Until next time!

Mario Hallucinogenic mushroom and weekly post!!

Why mario grows up when he takes a mushroom??

this is a question that jumps in my head for long time, maybe Miyamoto san try out the effects of an Hallucinogenic mushroom and he felt how his body starts to expand? and after that he decided to apply it on the mario´s game?

This questioning one motivates me to create this funny illustration, with which I inaugurate "the weekly post" yes! "the weekly post" that means that I will going to post at least one illustration a week, so if you want to see any topic illustrated, just let me know and I´m gonna do my best to make it real!!

Until that happens lets enjoy a delicious mushroom y break some koopa shells!! See ya!! :D

Merry Christmas!!

Merry Christmas!! Enjoy this magical time with your friends and Family! And be a good boy at least for this night, maybe Santa lets you a little gift under the tree!

Designing T shirts!!

Do you like the Anime? well this week I have to show you an illustration made to be used in a T shirt, is a girl with a blue cap called Miky from an anime series called Shugo chara. If you know the series you will recognize that the shapes behind the head of Miky has a relation with her,  the shape of spades and egg are representative icons of Miky.
The short time that I have on this wold of Graphic design I learn something: "everything that you put on that you illustrate or desing, it must to have a reason".
On this case the shapes  are important for Miky on the series .
So if you one day want to make an illustration or any design, don´t forget "why", why this color?, why this shape?, if you don´t  do it is very probable that your desing don´t have the impact that you wants.

That´s all for today guys! comment! :D
