Iron Gelatomettista - Voodoo Royale!

(entry: Carlitos)

Waddup y’alls, how’s it going?!? …most of us here at the studio are ‘decompressing’ from the insanity that San Diego has become (in a good way). Five days of nonstop coming and going and never having enough time to check out everything the show’s got to offer …it’s like running a damn marathon I tell you!!! (^_^)… anyway, Francis Manapul was hanging out at Wildstorm this last Friday (before heading out to Canada), and we had just come back from having a pretty delicious (and monstrous) Indian food lunch. I couldn’t help it much, so by the time we got back to the studio, I just sat down and crashed out from a chronic case of ‘food coma’. I’m not sure how many minutes passed (but not enough) when Alé starts bugging me and asking me to wake up so we could all do a ‘Gelatometti challenge’ … the heartless bastard finally woke me up and we all decided to ‘tag team’ this one, with one artist laying the piece out, and another doing ‘finishes’ on it… And so it began ☺

…the teams were:

1. JJ Kirby and Ale Garza
2. Richard Friend and Joel Gomez
3. Francis Manapul and yours truly

… the character we decided to do was Voodoo, and this is what we came up with (about 20 minutes for laying it out, and about 40 for doing finishes on it)

…’aight then, let the voting begin!!! (cue gong sound)

UPDATE: Winner by a nose: Francis Manapul and Carlos D'Anda! Thanks for voting everybody!!!

My vote for #3!!

# 3 hands down. 1 and 2 are nice but both have some anatomy and Layout issues that just aren't selling me.

Rich said...

Got to go with #3 too - and only one hour? Yeesh!

Fabrizio said...

Ehy, It'like shooting on the red cross! I guess Carlito just wants the after food revenge! :-) Anyway I vote for him. The 3rd one rules!

#3. But I'm really impressed with all of them, given the time constraints.

I really want to see what you guys would do with a 24-Hour Comic challenge, working as a group...

Definitely a winner, and definitely mine. I brought home the D'anda/Manupul Voodoo piece from the CBLDF auction ad the San Diego Int'l Comic Con 2007. Awesome work of art.
