I've been neglecting this account, so here we go, with a crop from an upcoming Conan The Barbarian cover!

I use Deleter white 2, good for brushes but too thick for nibs. For a more runny nib white I use acrylic inks, but those tend to be a bit more transparent, so I use only for effects and textures. I used an acrylic in marker in the past (Amsterdam brand) but can't find them here anymore.

Don't miss the first appearance of BANE!

Issue #9 of ABSOLUTE BATMAN kicks off the massive "Abomination" arc from me & @nickdragotta.bsky.social. Final Order Cut-Off is TODAY, so tell your comic shop that you want your copies before pre-ordering ends!

Every single time I try to have an interesting conversation online, I'm almost instantly reminded why I hate people. If you need me I'll be rolling in a rug with my dog.

And now you're going exactly the opposite route of your original post.
I think I'm done here. Take care, my friend.

That way of thinking, in my eyes, is way breaker than this series could ever be.

Gerardo Zaffino @gerardozaffino.bsky.social · May 2

I disagree wholeheartedly. Real artists don't cater to an audience.

Ok I thought we were having a grown up conversation, I see I was wrong.
You do you, my guy.

El Eternauta was written by a guy whose 4 daughters (2 of which were pregnant at the time) were kidnapped and murdered by a dictatorship, which later did the same to him.

I get what you mean, but that's a personal preference.
Art isn't necessarily about escapism, it can be, but authors channel reality in different ways.
By the way, I'm not trashing on you, I just think it's an interesting debate topic.

This is based off a 1957 Argentine comic book, and one of its famous slogans is roughly translated as "nobody is safe on his own"
Maybe dig a bit deeper before judging something, you might be pleasantly surprised.
I also recommend looking into the backstory of its author H.G. Oesterheld.

Had another of those Absolute Batman covers a while ago, Issue #9 cover B I think (due out in June)! Colours over @gerardozaffino.bsky.social lines, big old chunk of pink for a nice change as well :D
