Zombie Pac-Man Fridge Magnets

I know I’m late but I recently finished my first commercial STL file, just in time for Halloween! Meet Zombie Pac-Man, a set of four different Fridge Magnets depincting Pac-Man, Inky, Pinky and Clyde, for you or for your favourite Zombie Addicted/Retrogamer friends. You just have to print them, glue a magnet on their back and you’re good to go.

I painted those after a long break from painting, mainly to give them as a gift to a friend (taking the pic for the store should have been the priority, I know, but it wasn’t) and I’m really proud of myself, since I managed to finish them in less than 4 hours. Considering how much I struggle to say “Ok, it’s good enough, put that brush down!” I consider this a huge personal achievement!

Anyway, I think they are a cheap little gift for Halloween and are easy and fun to paint. If you want to check them out you can find them on Cults3D.

Ciao Silvano

Chi ha seguito questo blog fin dai suoi esordi saprà che, almeno all’inizio, decisi di usarlo come diario di ciò che mi veniva insegnato alla Scuola Comics di Firenze. Di tutti gli insegnanti che ho avuto ho bloggato solamente su due di loro. Uno è Paul Karasik. L’altro è stato Silvano Mezzatesta.

Non avendo virato verso l’animazione ho avuto a che fare con lui molto meno rispetto a diversi miei compagni e amici ma non appena me lo sono trovato davanti ho capito subito che le sue lezioni sarebbero state uno dei più grandi punti di svolta che avrei avuto all’accademia. E, cazzo, avevo ragione.

In sole poche ore Silvano ha saputo riscrivere completamente il mio modo di concepire regia, inquadrature, prospettive e costruzione delle anatomie. Anche rispetto a ciò che avevo imparato l’anno precedente. L’ho già scritto altrove ma persone così, in grado di lasciare una traccia indelebile del loro passaggio, sono rare. Il fatto che io sia qui a scrivere un post come questo, dopo anni in cui ho perso i contatti con lui, e a starci proprio male-male, ne è una testimonianza.

Ciao Silvano.

[ITA] Mordheim – Bande in italiano

In questo post, che terrò sempre aggiornato, raccoglierò i PDF delle bande di Mordheim che ho tradotto in italiano, spesso anche reimpaginandoli con InDesign per dargli un aspetto il più “ufficiale” possibile. In genere segnalo e carico queste bande sul gruppo Facebook di Mordheim Italia, ma siccome Facebook è un pessimo gestore di file, li elencherò qui.

Quindi, se siete interessati a qualcuna di queste bande, qui troverete la versione più aggiornata della mia traduzione. I commenti in questo post rimarranno aperti per consentire a chiunque di segnalare eventuali errori o refusi.

Ecco la lista delle bande:

Unreal Championship 2: Leaked PC – How to

The history of this Leaked started in 2011 when a guy named Dylan, who introduced himself as part of the Epic staff, promised to release some unfinished game builds that he had access to. He then disappeared just before making all of them public, for reasons that would only become clear at a later date. This guy probably did something at Epic, most likely trivial/uncredited stuff, and someone from the studio must have figured out who he was and what he was about to do. It is therefore very strange to see this leaked almost 9 years after those events, yet here it is!

Interested in trying it? Hit the Read More and I’ll guide you through!

[ITA] Il mio Sanremo 2021

A 7 page short story about this year’s Sanremo, the most important Italian Music festival (it’s the competition that chooses our participant in the Eurovision Song Contest). It’s in Italian and most jokes in it are aimed at Italy, so I don’t think it would work translated into english. It’s here though, if you want to take a look.

Take care, wear a mask and think positive!

Almost Out!

New Warframe fanart, this time it’s the Wisp Warframe. I kind of like and dislike this image at the same time. It has a sort of “Marvel 2000-ish comic book” vibe to it, which I’m not a really big fan of, honestly, but I know many people appreciate it so here it is.

Duality Dance

New Warframe fanart! I wanted to try those new 3D photos on Facebook so I did a quick drawing of Equinox Prime on a random pose that could help me show some 3D-ness. The small preview shows some white artifacts on the far right, however if you click on it for the full screen view they become black, which is waaay better. Here’s the result:

As I said on the post I’m not very fond of my coloring skills so here’s the colored 2D image and the inks, since they were the most fun part of it. Enjoy!

A Page Out of Nostalgia

This is a follow up page for a comic I started a very long time ago and left unfinished around 2001, if I recall correctly. It started as a story about a guy who finds out to have magic powers with which he can do whatever he wants but then, as I grew up, the story became gradually more and more dark. The drawings on those old pages are – of course – horrible but I still love it.

Last month I started to wonder how a new page would look like if I picked it up right now. And here’s the answer:

Have fun and be positive! :)
