So I was saying...





 Its been so long, I think I forgot how to do this. Lets see... Push a button here, and bang, instant art comes out. Nice. I think I can get to like this computer thing. Excuse the long delay, lots of stuff going on.
 I cant believe some of you are still following this insane blog. Thank you, I really appreciate that. Its nice to come back to the old homestead and see the family is still around.
Now its time to try to get to that magical Rocketo finish line that keeps moving backward every time I get within feet of it. 
 I did these small sketches to just play around and also to put something up besides comic pages. Some of these  small quick sketches point the way to styles that will wind up in the coming books.  
 Here are some cover ideas for Book 1 of the New World. 
   I want to get some strange feel with the Art, is this struggle to get the know and the unknown down at the same time. 
 Again excuse the long delay.
 My best to you all!

Tu arte me inspira.
Me maravilla siempre.
Tienes un mundo propio, que es realmente un brave new world.
Cuando veo tu trabajo me dan ganas de dibujar, más y mejor.
Eso no pasa todos los días.
Un abrazo!

Welcome back. Explorers, through the very nature of their calling, disappear from time to time - and return with more stories :)

Fraaaank!!! You went wandering again in the New World, eh? And us here worrying...did you receive the books? It's months now we mailed 'em. Always all the best!

Yellow, red and blue, very nice! My favorites are the first one with the tigerman and the third one, that shows Rocketo and Spiro exploring under a strange bulbous creature.

I'm going to agree with Luis that my faves are also the first and third. Something about that third one is particularly nice.

Czek said...

Yes! Welcome back and many thanks, always, for sharing these!

thank you so much everyone!
Right now I am leaning for the one that Mr. Latino wisely picked. It's a good time to play around and hopefully by next week I can make a decision on this.
I deeply appreciate all your comments and your wonderful eyes, they really help to break things down.
On another note.
Mr.J.Etienne, I did not post anything on the dates that you have put down. Your artwork is great, but unfortunately your sources are way off the mark. Try to get the right blog next time.
My best to you all.
Will be posting stuff this week.
Frank.

It looks fantastic! I've missed your updates (and seeing your stuff on the shelves). Can't wait to see more.

I think it's about time I went and re-re-re-read "Hidden Sea" again.
