Please join me next week as I take El Muerto on the latest endeavor of our 22 years together!!!!
The El Muerto Kickstarter, my friends....
The only contest I’m concerned about today is me versus this pad of Bristol paper. Let’s see how many blank sheets I turn into completed comic pages. The winner? You, dear readers! #elmuerto #casadeldiablo #graphicnovels #strathmorebristol https://www.instagram.com/p/B8FH6cbh2pp/?igshid=1ryzv10h02bh
Often I bounce around the page as I work on it. I’ll usually at least lay it out in blue pencil. Then I either tighten up every drawing in lead pencil, or as was the case here, start inking a panel or two. All that matters is that the entire page gets inked, of course. But different drawings sometimes call out to me for different reasons. #elmuerto #makingcomics #graphicnovels #inking #pentelbrushpen https://www.instagram.com/p/B8DjkzhBlJq/?igshid=zf6e9ge85i0j
Designing a “Casa Del Diablo”. Character design, costumes, buildings, cars, cups... you’ve got to create the whole word for your story. #makingcomics #graphicnovels #casadeldiablo #elmuerto #worldbuilding #hacienda #hauntedhouse https://www.instagram.com/p/B75FPqVhzo1/?igshid=1quezophchcb0
I recently watched the documentary on filmmaker Roger Corman, "Corman's World". It's amazing how many other high profile Hollywood creatives he intersected with over the years (so many of them getting their earliest breaks through him). A passage he said in the film really stood out to me. After I was done watching the film I went back and replayed that scene and wrote it down in the back of a sketchbook (my El Muerto story bible). You can read it in the attached photo. Basically after he directed a highly regarded drama called THE INTRUDER (in 1962), a controversial film dealing with racism in the South, the film flopped at the box office. He then decided he'd continue making films but he wouldn't create them as 'issue' movies, but rather sure fire commercial genre films with their social messages/commentary much more hidden within the narrative. It's the old Hollywood adage "What's the film about? But then tell me what it's really about". So I wrote down what he said just as a reminder to myself that as I continue writing my El Muerto stories featuring Aztec deities, super gangsters, cultists, demons, etc... told through adventure stories and telenovela melodrama, that I first and foremost keep the stories visually engaging. Give the reader their popcorn. But the underlying thematic ideas give the story their starting points and foundations. #inspirationalquotes #writinginspiration #writingcomics #makingcomics #storytelling #elmuerto #rogercorman https://www.instagram.com/p/B7Km4lNhgtD/?igshid=5wbot0qjx0iz
So I bought this new sketchbook to specifically use as a story bible for the El Muerto graphic novel series. In it I’ll jot down storyline ideas, character designs, possible titles for the books, etc. etc. It’ll help me map out the entire story arc for the remaining 9 books. #elmuerto #writersjournal #storytelling #worldbuilding #sketchbooks #characterdesigns https://www.instagram.com/p/B60zqeQB6bU/?igshid=lqew42lzeu6a
As promised, here are the titles for the 2nd and 3rd El Muerto graphic novels! Currently drawing book #2, to be released later this year. Followed by book 3 (aiming for 2021/2022). Not actual cover art for either book, but just wanted to let you all know that they’re indeed coming up! This will complete the first trilogy... with another two after that! Thanks 🙏🏽 #elmuerto #graphicnovels #latinocomics #lifeswork https://www.instagram.com/p/B6yGllWhXpc/?igshid=167jpd1h0un6r
2 more days until I announce the titles for the 2nd and 3rd graphic novels in the El Muerto series! I’m currently drawing the pages for Book 2, and I have a notebook with the story written down for Book 3. For the past several weeks I’ve been visualizing the story for Book 4 in my head, so I’m getting my (dead) ducks in a row! #elmuerto #graphicnovelseries #lifeswork #latinosuperhero #latinocomics https://www.instagram.com/p/B6tJbbGB5px/?igshid=1mn7ll85ni4bh
