Psychopomp II: Bunny Love: Thoughts and Interior art

noreply@blogger.com (derrewyn) — Thu, 4 Jul 2013 12:24:00 -0300

We are finally done with BunnyBunnychan! Now it's on the hands of the printer, so let us rejoice and hope that everything comes out perfectly! *HOPES*

For those that don't know yet (how come you don't know? I talk about it all the time!) Bunny Love is the second volume of Gutter's collection of anthologies, "Psychopomp". The first one was Fantastic Baby, a fantasy-themed anthology. This one is Bunny Love, an erotica anthology.

It's a naughty child!

Or more like a traumatized, sexy, turbulent, passionate child. As the first volume, it features both short stories (for which I did some art thingies, which you can see beloooow) and comics, plus a wonderfully beautiful gallery of pretty.

Yes, it's THAT pretty.

Also, it's a big step from the first volume. We were five artists+writers on the first book. Now we are sixteen. From 140+ pages we went to 150+. And we were able to cover most of the printing costs thanks to crowd funding (and for *that* I will love you all forever. Your support is the one that allows us to keep on fightiiiing!), which I had always wanted to try. Thank youuuu.

You know, now that I am talking with more art-related people, I've been getting the "where can I find your work? where have you published things?" question more often. To which I answer that, well, I've self-published a lot (a loooooooooooooot) and there are some thingies by me in some OMGOTH awesome projects I was invited to take part of.

Because, well, with the years I've learnt that I just love doing this. The whole "making the book". Putting it together, seeing it come to liiiiife. There's so much freedom and magick and wonderfulness in that. And the "come play with us in our book, lookie, here you have this many pages and a theme, go wild!", which I also enjoy.

I was also told, by some, how people overlook self-published things. To that... well, I really don't give a damn o.o Why are we thinking and talking so much when all the guts-instinct is saying "go this waaaaay"? Gogogogogo!

Putting so much care and effort into making something grow is too much fun, plus an awesome learning experience. All the lack of sleep, back ache and drama? All the mistakes? pfft, that's just comes with the job. There's so much I've learnt on each project I was a part of, so much I've learnt on this book, that will be seen on the next, as if to care about external noise.

I really *really* hope you enjoy it one it's out! ^_^ It's been fun.

I haven't been gone! I've been... busy! Mostly with writing, for one of Gutter's projects. But now that all that's mostly done, it's time to tackle my entry for Psychopomp II. Considering we already have plenty of great short stories, this time I am (very) likely to stick to comics. I'll be posting all the behind the scenes over here, so let's get set, ready.... go!

The original is in black and white, I did a sepia one for myself, then tinkered a bit and went for this errrh... reddish-blueish tint thing.

I like how the cat in his arms came out ^^

Jornadas Feb 2013

noreply@blogger.com (derrewyn) — Mon, 11 Feb 2013 12:22:00 -0300

Derreperiodista reportando desde el evento! FZWOM! (this is mostly in Spanish because the con is in Buenos Aires, might translate it when I get back home for all the curious souls out there)

En este momento me encuentro junto al staff de Gutter Glitter en el tercer día de estas Jornadas del Manga y el Ánime, the summerrrr edition (hot summer, hot hot summer *sings*). Sólo queda un día más, así que espero que los que no vinieron todavía aprovechen el martes para visitar, it’s totally worth it - por un lado porque el evento es genial, por el otro porque estamos nosotros, of couuurse ;) .

Ayer miramos una de las últimas películas de Ghibli (which was sooo lovely), y hoy estamos mirando “El Piloto y la Princesa” (looking good so far, a Lu le está encantando. Yo estoy escribiendo así que me encuentro momentáneamente con la atención dividida. Multitasking ftw!).

Las películas del estudio Ghibli son el tema de la exposición de ilustradores de esta edición del evento (de ahí la ilustración de Spirited Away del post anterior, fue la peli que me tocó ilustrar). Así que the cuteness factor de la muestra esta vez es altísimo (hay trabajos que son pre-cio-sos! Me hacen sentir consciente de que debería haber empezado antes con mi ilustración X_X) . Las muestras anteriores fueron de Saint Seiya of True Love Forever, y de Sailor Moon, de menos love pero bueno, cariño y amistad. Tengo toda la curiosidad por saber cuál va a ser el próximo tema O.O!

Hace años que participo de este evento, y cada vez que vuelvo recuerdo por qué: la organización es genial (gracias a todo el equipo de En el Nombre de la Luna por hacer esto posible evento tras evento!), el espacio es cómodo y está en una ubicación accesible, y por sobre todo, es uno de los pocos eventos (junto a Dibujados, ooootro de mis eventos preferidos, pero de Dibujados se hablará en su fecha correspondiente) que hoy por hoy se ocupa de promocionar la actividad independiente de ésta manera (los stands son sólo grupos de auto-edición y/o fanclubs). Realmente lo recomiendo para todos aquellos que quieran mostrar sus trabajos (so… you know! Join us!!!!), y para todos aquellos que quieran ver cosas diferentes de lo que usualmente se encuentra en el circuito de eventos de ánime (visiiiiit ussssssssssssssss!).

I feel like hoooome ^_^

~~Cuando llegue a casa agrego las fotos del evento, así los que no pudieron venir pueden tener un sneak peek.~~ Si mis niveles de journalist-mood suben, tal vez agregue un par de Q & A a nuestros fellow expositores (si quieren saber algo en particular, agreguen su pregunta en los comentarios de la página de facebooken de Gutter, así les pregunto por ustedes!), to enhance the Jornadas Experience!

(ahora El Piloto y la Princesa están estancados en una isla! O_O Teh DRAMA! Y ella está llorando! Más DRAMA! Ahora está borracha! Voy a averiguar por qué!)

Derre-out (for now, mwahahahahaha)

extra piccies:
