Quarto anniversario - i vostri desideri sono ordini

Ciao,
si avvicina il quarto anniversario - il 19 gennaio - e lo so che siete impegnati ma avevo pensato ad animare un pochino i festeggiamenti con il minimo sforzo da parte vostra.

1) Create un personaggio: La gemma del mediterraneo avra' dei nuovi personaggi - per la maggior parte gente che abita nel palazzo di Circe: create un personaggio - scritto o disegnato - e i metteremo i piu' votati nel cast della storia. (Nicoli e' nata cosi', infatti atteso da tempo fa parte del Progetto Baldassarre)

2) La migliore fan fiction: nel corso degli anni abbiamo ricevuto tante belle storie: votate per la migliore e la trsformero' in un fumetto (e siete ancora in tempo a scrivere una storia per partecipare a questa competizione)

3) Quello che non vi ho detto: ci sono stati momenti nel corso di questa storia dove invece di approfondire e mostrarvi cose sono passata ad altro (per esempio il matrimonio di Kes e del dottore faceva parte di questa categoria e poi e' stato approfondito in seguit). Volete sapere cosa Kane ha detto a Castalia dopo l'ottavo capitolo, mentre i ragazzi li spiavano? Voleve sapere come il dottore ha trovato Priscilla? Oppure vi piacerebbe scorprire cos'e' successo a Rose la notte in cui si e' persa e ha incontrato Jack? Fate vobis~! Insomma questo va nella categoria del "ho sempre voluto sapere cos'e' accaduto quella volta", praticamente il Pirata Baldassarre uncut!

4) Richieste strambe: dal primo di Gennaio comincero' il mio "1schizzoalgiorno"... iniziate a richiedere.
Sto ancora lentamente lavorando su richieste precedenti:  steampunk (rock-o-co Lio) fatto,  character as badass pirates (emoking, fatto ma mancano gli altri) il resto lo sto inserendo nel fumetto stesso....
Quindi pensate a schizzi ma siate specifici, fantasiosi e assurdi hahahaha.

che ne dite, allora?
Ci state?

4th anniversary - the stuff I haven't shown you

Hi guys,

The fourth anniversary is approaching - January 19th is around the corner - and I know you guys are busy but here are a set of activities I had in mind to have fun together with the minimum effort.

1) Create a Character: The Gem of the Mediterranean Sea will have some new characters - mostly people living in Circe's palace: create a character -drawn or in written form - and we'll put the most voted ones into the story. (just so you know this is how Nicoli was born too - in fact Long Overdue is part of the Project Balthasar)

2) The best Fan Fiction: over the year we've received and read many sweet stories related to the pirate balthasar: vote for the best one and I will turn it into a comic. (btw you are still on time to enter a brand new idea into this competition)

3) The stuff I haven't shown you: there were moments in the story whereby instead of showing you everything I jumped somewhere else (Kes and Wes' wedding was one of them). Do you want to know what Kane told Castalia at the end of chapter 8 when the boys were spying on them? Do you want to know how the doctor found Priscilla? Did you ever wonder what happened the night Rose wandered off and found Jack? You name it! this is a "I always wanted to know what happened... then!" - basically a pirate Balthasar uncut :D

4) The funky request: this will begin on January first and will be part of my "1doodleaday" exercise... so you have to put up your request in fast. 

I am still working on some of the stuff from the to do list:  steampunk (rock-o-co Lio),  character as badass pirates (emoking) were completed and am slowly writing in the rest in the comic. So think Doodle and you can go really really specific and very crazy with your request.

alright,

so what do you say?

Are you game?

Happy Holidays!!!

Guys, I do not know what happened to the Secret Santas... I never received email back so... I guess it kinda all burst like a bubble... ehm.... So Happy Holiday for now!

Circes from sketch to Fanart

 I doodle this really quick study of Circes and her tattoo in the library - some 7 minutes doodle really cuz I got kicked out (you can read the whole story here) LOL...

... and apparently it inspired this awesome fanart by BlackBirdINK.

Circes is coming along just fine hahaha I think you are going to enjoy her presence immensely in the future.

Style tests and color tests for "The Gem of the Mediterranean Sea"

To figure out what kind of style and colors to use for the next special I am doing lots of test.
I will post them here so you guys can kind see what I am currently working one - while I release the Slave ship.

I am definitely aiming for clean lines but I want a very magical feeling to the whole thing so... I am still torn between digital and watercolor... or both.
