About a
month ago, my friend Nuno Pereira Sousa, administrator (plus reporter
and critic) of the website BandasDesenhadas, challenged me and Susana Resende (colorist) to created four new characters personifying each
season (i.e. winter, spring, summer and autumn) to illustrate a sort of market review that would relate the heroes with their
namesake articles. Little did I know they were meant for BD.com's
new comics awards(!), that will have quarterly nominations
for all awarding categories before the final resolution at the start
of 2020, which determines the proper winners.
Had I known what the images were for, I probably would have tried something different, maybe with comic-books included as props, but therein laid the reason for the desired disambiguation. Here's the final sketch, lineart and colored version (painted by Susana Resende) for the Winter figure; the remaing characters will be shared by the website in the follow-up reviews, throughout the year.

Há
um mês atrás, o amigo Nuno Pereira Sousa, administrador (e repórter
e crítico) do website BandasDesenhadas, desafiou-me e à Susana Resende (colorista) para criarmos quatro novas personagens que
personificassem cada estação (i.e. inverno, primavera, verão e
outono) para ilustrar uma espécie de revisão trimestral do mercado que
relacionasse os heróis aos artigos da sua respectiva temporada. Mal
sabia eu que iriam ilustrar os novos prémios do BD.com(!), que terão nomeações trimestrais para todas
as categorias antes da resolução final no início de 2020,
aquando se determinará os reais vencedores.
Se
soubesse o propósito das imagens provavelmente teria tentado a fazer algo
diferente, talvez incluindo revistas de BD como elementos da composição, mas por isso mesmo o porquê de descontextualizar o objectivo. Eis o esboço final,
desenho e cor (colorida pela Susana Resende) da figura do Inverno;
as restantes personagens serão divulgadas pelo portal nas revisões seguintes, ao longo do
ano.
