Warm greetings to comic lovers and reading lovers in general.
A few days ago I published a content about a comic project that I am doing with a distinguished and qualified team of friends and we intend to launch this year and which was well received. We are very excited about the story of Raxel, which is the main protagonist of this adventure and here I present the first left page that you will see when you open the comic which brings an elegant illustration of Raxel in full body, this is the credits page and prologue ...
The plot of the script and the style of direction of this graphic and literary artistic work, has been consummated fusing several styles of artistic expressions taking as foundations the style of direction of comics, books, tv series and movies. The reason for merging the directing methods is to try to create a graphic and literary product that is a little different from what is determined by the common factor in comics, but without departing from the successful directing methods.
Taking into account that this first episode of Raxel, titled "An Unexpected Call", will be 62 pages long, it allows it to behave like a feature film because of its long duration, but at the same time it generates the opportunity to be able to couple a little bit to the direction of a book and also to that of a comic book, which allows me to have a literary and graphic freedom enriched at the time of directing this comic.
The wonderful thing about making a comic where the story is written, the art is made and directed at the same time, apart from being a great responsibility, is an incredible opportunity to carry the commitment of the direction of photography, framing, literary argument and the behavior of the characters of the story and its development, and also fills me with enthusiasm to have total freedom to create a product that satisfies the passionate requirements of the reader, giving him what he really wants and make him happy in balanced and saturated quantities when the moment deserves it.
As I progress in the realization of this first episode "Raxel, an unexpected call", I will be creating several special illustrations that will be used in the project for various promotional purposes and which I also intend to publish previously in Hive Ecency to share the information and progress of this long awaited artwork.
In directing this project I have relied on the guidance of several of my favorite directors and writers, whom I will mention in this paragraph as I name the genres for the purpose of giving them a serious, respectful and humble ovation, and to point readers in the direction of the project. Each of these artists has left an indelible mark on my life and I am deeply grateful to them for filling me with magic, fantasy, adventure and passion for these arts, and although some of them are still alive and do not know of my existence for now, I want to express my deepest respect and admiration to them.
