At the shop you can buy the books that I make within the circle and all types of merchandising like badges, straps and prints of different mangas/animes like Magi, Inu x Boku SS, Puella Magi Madoka Magica,...

Some weeks ago I wrote about the publishing of my manga Wish Upon a Star by Ediciones OrangON... This week the number 0 of their Orenji Magazine, in wich Wish Upon a Star will be published, is now available for download here:

Orenji Magazine #0

You can see a little teaser of Wish Upon a Star as well as other of their comics previews!!! My comic is at page 30 ^-^

But if you don't understand spanish at all and want to see the teaser material, here it is:


Bell: Star, ¿? years, White/brown hair, blue eyes
Cheerful, she's a fallen shooting star, and she can only use her magic for her master wishes


Josh: Prince, 16 years, blonde hair, grey eyes
Calm, half-blood dragon, he can use magic and when he uses it, his eyes become golden

My last comic project "Wish Upon a Star" is going to be published by Ediciones OrangON

Summary:

"Anyone who sees a shooting star, can try to make a wish, but as we all know is very difficult to get them granted... What if one day a shooting star fell from the sky to earth to fulfill all your desires?

Bell is a shooting star that after falling from the sky has an encounter with which she believes is his destined master, the one for which she must grant the wishes... Her biggest problem is that Josh, his supposed master, is a prince who already has everything he needs.

Can Bell find something that Josh really wants and in this way return to the sky?"

I have some projects in wich I'm working for the Japan Expo event, there are three books, one original (Getsuei no Kokoro), a Madoka Magica doujin and a Kobato doujin:



-My original manga, Getsuei no Kokoro, tells the story of two teenagers, Serina and Knite, whose destiny is linked more than they have ever imagined... Everything starts with a chance encounter and from that, the adventure begins during this first chapter.
-This 36 pages doujin includes the prologue and the first chapter, with the first 4 pages of the second chapter as a extra~!!!
-Drawed for the Moe Luv circle by KawaiiDream.



-A Puella Magi Madoka Magica doujin with +/- 36 pages of an original story, will be canon couple SayaKyō and yuri couple MadoHomu.
-The chibis sketch are for the backcover... (I'll update with the cover as soon as we have it)
-Drawed for the Moe Luv circle by KawaiiDream and Alci-chan.



-A Kobato doujin with +/- 36 pages of an original story, will be canon couple pairing KobatoxFujimoto.

-Drawed for the Moe Luv circle by KawaiiDream and Alci-chan.

On my previous entry I talked about the Masterclass that I taught at the Wacom booth during the XVII Salo del Manga de Barcelona, so in this one I want to show you what I made at the Masterclass. I wanted to make some illustration with Easy paint tool Sai but the program won't work so I had to improvise something with Manga Studio. It's a Serina, you can see the sketch lines under the clean ones:


Well, like the title of the entry says, I'm working hard on my manga... I can't make finished pages 'cause I need to improve a lot my style. My editors told me some changes that they want me to do, so I'm working on this changes! Here some Serina sketches:


Comparison of the after and before the changes were being introduced, again I used Serina as a subject of the experiments on my style. This time is a human version of Serina:


Working on the proportions for the new more balanced style at the faces, right now I have added a side face too, but here are frontal and 3/4 faces:


A christmas Serina sketch for 2011, well, the past year I draw too Serina for the happy christmas "card"... I'm a bit unoriginal on the themes of my illustrations because my head is full of GetsuKoko related things...


For the last one I want to show all of you the sample of my efforts working on the new face proportions. Up you can see the sketch of a panel which corresponds to the page 59 of the manga, down you can see the same panel with the new hairstyle and face proportions. Again it's Serina the subject of my tests:

Already rested after the three-day trip to Barcelona for the con called "Saló del Manga de Barcelona" I want to write an entry to put some photos related to my activities during the con...

First, some photos from the Wacom booth, as you can see they have some of my illustrations at their walls (the three related to my manga Getsuei no Kokoro):



Two photos taken during my Masterclass at the Wacom booth, I have some problems with the program I normally use for my works, so I had to make something out of the blue:



The last two photos, at the right a photo with some of my friends, at the left, the booth of my publishing house for Getsuei no Kokoro, Nowevolution:
