The Tickets (Part 4)

The Tickets (Part 4) – Hop! Monday update! This time with some “fan art”, as I needed a supporting group for the “Fake Llimoner”, so I drew a real group with one of their songs (translated to catalan). 100 mini-points for those who guess which group and which song is it supposed to be. The solution, in a moment…

P.D. I only could fit in the strip three of the four members of the band, so later I’ll publish the image with the four members.

“Quins nervis, el rellotge sembla aturat.
Porteu-me aquí un metge abans que sigui tard.
Les noto a l’estomac, quasi puc volar.
Estic malaltís però tot s’arreglarà.
Intento no semblar ni estrany ni un ximplet.
Entenc que t’espantis i fugis corrents.
No estic pas a l’alçada dels teus encants.
No entenc com t’ho has fet per haver-me triat.

Alguns no entendran mai, quan la vida els fa un regal.
Ets un àngel d’amagat… Aixi doncs

Fem el beneït quan la nit és jove.
Passem-ho com si no hi hagués demà!
No ho xerris pas, desa-ho per tu sola.
Déu meu, el cor em tremola…!
No puc deixar de semblar un idiota.
Besa’m ara, et necessito tota.
Sols un dia més, no vull que acabi aquí,
Si et deixo marxar, et tornaré a tenir amb mi…?”

The Tickets (Part 2)

The Tickets (Part 2) -Hop! Wednesday night update! With all the mess of this month and week, and that yesterday I started inking over the wrong layer (and I had to start inking again…), that I missed all deadlines!

The “Fake Llimoner” and “Esbart Away” come from my friend Marklar and his theory that you can create a hipster trendy pop group joining a Catalan name and an English name.

Guitar Man

Guitar Man – Hello hello, my pretties! I’m back around here. Today I’m experimenting with “The Color (TM)”. From the beginning I filled the comic strips with B&W textures, from when I drew over paper, as scanning pictures 11 years ago produced low quality lines hard to fill with GIMP. The textures (actually, lines) where added over vegetable paper when inking, then scanned. And when starting with digital drawing, I kept the procedure because textures are easy to add. But seen the previous strip, it is possible that adding color is not an issue anymore (with so few time to draw, I have to optimize time, and coloring has an overtime). If it goes well, I’ll keep the color on strips!

In other order of things, the Guitar Man! One guy at the copy center, and the Telecogresca association, that every afternoon brought a guitar to the cafeteria terrace, playing always the same three chords (C, F, G) for years. The CPET Copy Center and Telecogresca were a black hole where students entered and remained there for life, becoming part of the Campus people. When the copy center was close, all that fauna was lost forever 🙁
