Ancient Awakening DIsplay Ad for New York Comic Con

I've been meaning to upload this for a few weeks but haven't had the chance.
Here's the new piece of art I was commissioned for use as a Nice large display banner? not sure what it's called. hehe, this was fun to do for my friend Matthew series of books "Ancient Awakening". He's on book 3 so i suspect there will be plenty more things for me to draw soon. (looks at wallet) lol. Enjoy the banner folks!

Agliarept, Part Time Ghost Hunter,, Full Time Teen

Hi,

Got excited over at www.redbubble.com when they announced their New York Comic Con contest this year. Seems there looking for a cool superhero concept and luckily I've been working on mine for some time now. This would be as good as any time to show it off in a nice laid out comic panel approach. Here's my submission:

Agliarept in: How to fight the dead!

Living your life as a teenage boy trapped in an ancient alchemist's armor can be tough. One minute your on death's bed suffering from a rare disease and the next you wake up in the 21st century inside some archaic robot contraption. Life's funny that way ain't it?

Together with his new friend Francis, a haunting spirit who's been trapped inside a lab for 100 years, Sam, who's father use to work in said lab, chase and capture evil spirits who just so happen to want Agy's nifty suit and will stop at nothing to get it.

on this submission I thought it be good to provide some tips on what you'd need when approaching and fighting the dead..although somethings are easier said then done :-).

This is a comic i am writing as a short story novel with pictures? It's a dark comedy as our hero doesn't really want his new gig and has a tough time coming to terms with his new body and powers.

Road to NYCC 2011 - Ancient Awakening new prints

welllllllllll

taking a little break on the MIB stuff while i start actual paid work for the new prints I'm doing for Ancient Awakening book 2. this is part of the print, 1 in a series of 5 Vignettes? This is one is "Old Miller Vs The Dragon". I'm Sure Matt the author will correct me on the dragon's actual name. art isn't fully finished and will be polished off when its time for printing :-)

*This is my first time doing prints in full digital. I'm use to paper so be gentle lol.

Men in Black Drawing #6 Einstein is out of this world

Well

I love me some Arquilians, and it's a no brainer Einstein could have been one :-)

Here's my little vintage photo of the good Dr in a leisurely break at his office. enjoy.

Men in Black Drawing #5 The Worm Guys love the JAVA!!!

hehe

I've always loved the animated series of the Men in Black. the stories, designs, and animation are pretty top notch and carried the same tones of the movies. However, a huge improvement was made on the worms, and there personalities have stayed with me when doodling for ages. Here they are in there animated form as they appeared on the show years ago. These guys are addicted to the Java!! gotta have it!!!!

Men In Black drawing #4 Baby Redgick I am not your father

haha always loved this scene from the first film. Nothing like getting baby puke on your first day on the job. haha Good ol' Agent J and Baby Redgick Jr! enjoy!

Men In Black drawing #3 First Contact

Always loved the photos shown briefly in MIB 1. the ones with agent K handing the aliens flowers. wondered what it would be like seen through the lens of Ray Bans. liberties have been taken and thought I'd play around with a wash of colors. very flat and dull colors to make it look a little retro? hope you like. :-)

Men In Black drawing #2 Steve Jobs is an Arquillian.

This one is one of my favorites. might be a recurring theme through out this little art project. We all sorta kinda knew Steve Jobs was bringing us some cool gadgets and now we know why. Arquillian technology for the win!!

Men In Black art run!!

Decided I really want to start drawing a lot of artwork inspired from the Men in Black series.

Here is drawing Number One. - Mauro
