Tencionei
fazer algo rápido e tosco, como se vê na imagem inicial, mas escapou-me e
acabei-o quase como se fosse um desenho final ou “breakdown,” embora feito
directamente a caneta… Dado que a temática do super-herói é aqui jogada com
sofisticação e nuance intelectual, seria redutivo tentar explicar o que decorre
nas sequências, pelo que não vou sequer tentar. Vejam-no por vocês e façam a própria leitura;)
A new teaser of the forthcoming 3rd book
of O Infante Portugal: a layout for a short story featured therein as an extra.
I did it as a surprise for the author, José de Matos-Cruz, based on the
original tale that started the Infante’s saga (available here) and he suggested
including it in the publication, “closing cicle” to the story, which had been printed
in the first book, also as an extra.
I meant to do it roughly, as the first
image shows, but it got away from me and I ended it as if almost penciled or a
“breakdown,” even if done directly with pen… Given that the superhero theme is
played there with a sophisticated and intellectual edge, it would be reductive to
just narrate what the sequences are meant to show us, so I’m not even going to try. Just check
it and make your own interpretation;)
