“Comics were the first ones to punch Nazis before movies. They are inherently political. One thing they want to do is erase the past, but that’s one thing that this museum celebrates.” Guillermo del Toro at San Diego Comi-con on the Lucas Museum of Narrative Art

This is a technique I’ve used for years because of this one tweet from @sonnyross.bsky.social. Thank you Sonny for changing my life
The book cover was designed by Talia Abramson at Penguin but they let me have a bit of a say over the colours. And I said boy do I have an idea….

Is it me or do these past Hunters seem to all have kind of a "correlation" to Huntrix, in the way that Sailor Moon villain groups of 5 usually correspond the Senshi?
Rumi's mom is of course the "Rumi", Celine resembles Mira, and Afro Hottie is Zoey (even to the point of potentially being biracial?)

Nacho Molina: "Huntrix girls are amazing, but who doesn’t remember the incredible Sunlight Sisters? This was a painting that I did for a cover CD album for one of the scenes that didn’t make it to the final film. It was one of the few chances I had to paint young Celine and Rumi’s mum."

Sometimes we got to remember what makes Superman such an endearing hero. Especially today of all days.
Superman is one of the most iconic superheroes of all time. He represents Truth, Justice, and the American Way...right? Well, over the last few years, it seems that fewer and fewer stories want to promote Superman as a representative of the American Way.

Seeing a lot of discussion today about number of followers and how much artists make, so just want to remind everyone, if you like an artist, try to support them however you can. Even if you can't spare any money, just reposting their stuff and promoting them when you can is great.

You can do this in clip studio easy - a cartoonist pal was showing me the perspective tool, was struggling with how to lay out the grid, and we went this route - draw the character how you want them, draw a little cube next to them, use that cube to establish your perspective. Figure first!
Hey, friends, try building your perspective around your figures rather than starting with a perspective grid, it's easier!
