Finally done, I think. As they say, you never finish a drawing you just give up with it. I made the sketch for this illustration in 1999, at that time i was very influenced by Five star stories and i really wanted to make a design with that kind of look and feel, but something done by me. I don’t know if i succeeded but it’s great to finally see this drawing it completed.
After almost two weeks of work it’s time to move on to another illustration. I really enjoyed making this one, many good memories from the 90´s and also I listened to many inspiring albums in the process. Ulver, Satyricon, Immortal, Vangelis and many others stayed with me late at night working.

Here are some images of the painting process.
TIN TOY ROBOTS
I made this illustrations of robots, inspired by the art of Japanese tin toy robots but trying to make my own designs with the look and feel from 1960’s toys and space vehicles like the old Saturn V and Vostok rockets. I used only pencils and markers.
These a collection of fan art commissions of Battlemechs for different clients.
I was asked by Everything Battletech to make an illustration of the Beowulf IIC and i decided to match the art style of the Technical Readout 3055, it was the first TRO i saw and i always been amazed by the japanese designs in that book. And i thought it would be great to see more Battlemechs with that look and feel.
Also i had to make an illustration of the Beowulf, i tried with this mech an old school Japanese Style. its very nostalgic to remember 80’s mecha anime designs.
Here you can see some sketches and a redesign blueprint for the Shootist and a sketch for a Warhammer that takes some ideas from the original Tomahawk from Macross and the japanese version of the Warhammer.
I enjoyed very much to do this Battlemechs. i grew up playing Battletech, reading the novels and painting some miniatures..
I want to share with you a fan art that i made of the Valkyrie VF-1A and J. Normally i draw only my own designs. But Macross is the series that inspired me to start drawing and specially drawing mecha so this is a small tribute to the series that started all for me. Also the Valkyrie is a classic design, sleek and clean, one of my favorites. Hope you like it.
I was commissioned for a very interesting project, i had to make some sketches and a diagram for a Retro-futuristic fantasy submarine with a Manta Ray appearance, with control surfaces on the wings like an aircraft.
The ship is big enough to have different decks, a small hangar for a mini sub, a bathysphere and an observation deck. The submarine is driven by Dyson propless jets.
I really enjoyed the process for this work. Thank you for watching.
Falchion Cosmo fighter.
It’s very stimulating to try different ideas and get an interesting result. Named after a type of sword from around the 13th century, the Falchion is a space fighter with a big cannon and a powerful radar at the front. I always try to keep some kind of elements from real aircraft like the cockpit, landing gear etc. Even if it’s a spaceship that not necessarily needs aerodynamic forms or wings. With this drawing i just wanted to make a ship that have the feeling of those old video games of the 80´s, they were always so inspiring.
I received this set of Chiyogami paper as gift from a friend, it’s a beautiful paper with a nice texture and with inspiring beautiful colors.
Chiyogami is a type of Japanese paper with bright, intricate patterns, patterns that are printed with screen printing techniques, flowers, leaves, fans, recalling images of nature or family seals decorate this paper. It is thought that was created for the first time in Kyoto during the seventeenth century and was initially used only by the aristocrats and was considered a luxury but gradually spread to all social classes and appeared motifs based on the traditions and culture of Kyoto. Even today the Chiyogami is very popular in Japan and other countries.
The Chiyogami is very beautiful and there are many different types, each manufacturer has its own designs and constantly create new models, some are still produced using traditional techniques with woodblock prints by hand and others are made with modern techniques of screen printing,produced with playback machines stand out for very bright colors. The Chiyogami can be used for envelopes, packages, boxes or making dolls and origami figures.
This is the first time i have the chance to visit an air show, it was very exciting, i have been waiting for this opportunity for many years.
I have seen all these types of aircraft many times on videos, photographs and scale models but watching them in real life is another story, the sense of scale and volume of these aircrafts is amazing, specially big fighters like the Mig-31. The sound of the engines is very powerful and breathtaking to see all those impressive maneuvers above your head.
It’s really a great experience and very recommended for any enthusiast of aircrafts in general and model kit builders, because you will have the chance to see the colors and forms of the aircrafts from a very close perspective and with a little of luck maybe you will have the chance to climb into the cockpit of one of them.
There were many military aircrafts, the Russian Air Force demonstration Squadrons, bombers and missiles but also many civilian machines like drones, airliners, transports and helicopters.
If you have visited my blog before, you know that i love taking photos of cities, aircrafts, spaceships and machines in general, they are a wonderful source of inspirations for concept drawings, and also is interesting and great to have the chance to enjoy events like this one. I hope i will have the chance to visit the MAKS once again in the future, for now i share some photos in general. Thanks for watching, visiting and commenting.
Orochi – Heavy command kriegskellet. New illustration finished. I made the sketch for this mech in 2003 and since then many things and moments of inspiration have happened. I finally decided to work on this one. Interesting to see how the result changed from the original idea i had back then.
Nueva ilustración terminada. Hice el boceto en 2003 y desde entonces han sucedido muchas cosas y momentos de inspiración. Finalmente decidí trabajar en este dibujo. Es interesante ver cómo cambió el resultado de la idea original que tenía en ese entonces.
Hope you like it.
