Greetings Gorillas,

I just got back from NAB 2012 and thought I share a short I created for the Reduser 4k Portrait Competition. I was selected as one of the 10 finalists.

I wrote a huge post on the workflow with some concept art and notes describing this week long marathon. If you’re interested click the image below to watch the short and read my nonsensical dribble.

Thanks for watching. I’ll have a few doodles and paints soon. Gah. I’m such a ghost.

Some fan art I did recently.

Hey fellas!

DAMN I need to comment A LOT - so many wonderfull stuffz around here, amigos! I’m sorry for being away, just a lotta work to do.

For now, just a quickly quickie quick post - “Shattering the Inner Geometries”, acrylics and digital. Don’t be kind to this shit!

Will share new stuff soon ok? Will not say anything else. Time will tell.

All the beeeeeeeeeest

Edit: Can’t fit a larger version here, don’t know what I’m doing wrong! Just take a look on it at my blog, www.rafsarmento.blogspot.com please. Thanks!!!

Hello there dear Gorillas!

Finally I took a moment to make my first official post here on the blog. You all know how much I love you, and it’s really a HUGE pleasure and honor to be a part of the gang! After all, being one of the apes is more than a pleasure - it’s a way of living. So, here we go to start this mess up!

Well, in fact I don’t have a big deal to share right now, but I’ll show you a few recent studies (only a few, as I’m just starting this new sketchbook - and it’s a wonderfull one) and a sneak of my current oil painting. Soon I’ll post some other stuff!

Hope you’re all well, until lateeeeeeeer

And here is the painting - at the very early stages, so of course I’ll show much of it!

Hello fellow Gorillas. I have not poste for extremely long - two babies does that to you!

My cousin recently asked me to draw her for her blog Kids Gazette (http://kids-gazette.blogspot.com) and the column that she write in a mag. So I did, then a friend of hers who writes a fashion blog wanted one too, so I drew one for her as well (http://www.whimsicalagnesiga.com). These two tiny drawings landed me an ilustration in a magazine, which I can’t show at the moment, but will at some point (and they want me to do more, yay!) The mag is already in print, so hopefully I can show it. (and all this happened within 3 days! Hahah!)

Just made a big overdue sketch update on my blog (around 100 scans). Here are some i thought you guys would enjoy. The rest can be seen here

Hello, gang !
Long time no see, but it’s so good to be back !
I’m really impressed with all the art I saw lately, you guys and gals rocks ! :)

Today, I want to share with you the art for the book cover of J.M McDermott’s Never Knew Another.
It will be published by Night Shade Books, on February 2011 and it’s the first part of the Dogsland Trilogy. It was a great pleasure to work on this Fantasy book, who got an unusual tone for the genre. Trust me, it’s a very good story !

The good ol’ combo of mine: including locally some photographs over digital drawing, then mixing ink washes, acrylic paintings and ashes [true !] all over it.
I want to also add the cover design here, because it’s special to me: our fellow gorillas Federico Piatti and Victoria Maderna have added their magic over my art and I feel happy to see my friends and I involved in the same book !

A very special thanks to Dave Palumbo and J.M. McDermott, for this fantastic opportunity.

Best,
julien
