Hello everyone! I’ve been working on some personal children’s book illustrations lately, I finished the first one today so here it is!

Also, for the shameless plug part of the post: I’ve (somewhat) recently revamped my website + changed domains! So if you haven’t been there in a while please take a look: victoriamaderna.com; and last, I also have some prints for sale at InPrnt!

Hola gente linda! Estos últimos tiempos estuve trabajando en un proyecto personal de libro infantil, y acá está la primera ilus que terminé!

Y ahora, sabranme disculpar, un poco de autobombo: cambié el dominio y rediseñé mi sitio web hace unas semanas, así que si no lo visitan hace rato los invito a verlo: victoriamaderna.com; y por último, tengo algunas impresiones de mis imágenes a la venta en InPrnt.

Fed was sketching some illos based on Earthsea by Ursula LeGuin and I couldn’t resist making my silly version of Ged and the shadow. Acrylics on paper.

Fede estaba bocetando unas ilus basadas en la saga de Terramar de Ursula LeGuin y no pude resistir la tentación de hacer mi propia y ridícula versión de Ged y la sombra. Acrílicos en papel.

Long time not post! Here’s a small acrylics +colored pencils painting I did for the upcoming Dice Tsutsumi interview + contest over at Sketchoholic.

The topic is: “Your favorite childhood anime in your own style”; since pretty much the one anime I followed when I was younger was Sailor Moon, and since I always though that Sailor Jupiter was the one member of the group that really really kicked ass, I decided to paint her :)

Tanto tiempo! Acá les va una ilus que hice en acrílicos y lápices de colores para la entrevista a Dice Tsutsumi + concurso que se va a hacer en Sketchoholic.

El tema era “Anime favorito de tu infancia en tu estilo”, y como en realidad el único anime que miré más de chica era Sailor Moon, y como además Sailor Jupiter era mi personaje preferido en esa serie (porque a decir verdad era la única que se la bancaba denserio), decidí retratarla :)

I had the opportunity to do some illustrations for the Dungeons & Dragons Player’s Strategy Guide a few months ago and the book was officially released on Monday so I’m finally able to post them!

As some of you may know I’m a huge fantasy geek and I love roleplaying games and I spent numerous Sunday afternoons in my hometown playing D&D with friends. When I took this sort of cartoon-ish direction with my artwork I thought I was closing that door forever so this was quite a big deal for me, I loved doing these illos and I’m super excited to show them to you! I hope you like them!

Hace algunos meses hice estas ilustraciones para la Guía de Estrategia para Jugadores de Dungeons & Dragons y como el lunes la lanzaron a la venta ya las puedo mostrar!

Como algunos de ustedes sabrán, me encanta la fantasía, y he pasado varias tardes domingueras rosarinas jugando rol. Cuando me decanté por este estilo más cartoon pensé que estaba cerrando esa puerta para siempre así que este fue un proyecto muy grosso para mí, lo disfruté muchísimo y me emociona mucho poder mostrar estas ilus, espero que les gusten!!!
