After 7 years as a comic colorist (here you can read what that’s all about), in 2014 I decided to broaden the field I was working in and started studying about how to write a comic/graphic novel. After a short time I was able to put together comic projects that would appeal to companies and educational/nonprofit organisations. In some cases those projects were single issues and in others graphic novels with more than 100 pages. These services supplemented my income when coloring projects were not as numerous as I needed (Do you remember the pandemic times, right?).
Working on comics with artists, marketing managers, educators, publishers and media production companies is a different job than only coloring comics from home. You need to coordinate deadlines, feedback meetings with clients and maintain clear, but not stifling, communication with the rest of the art team. Providing services in this way, coupled with my published books as a co-author, has allowed me to fully understand the creative and production line of a comic book. This knowledge is put into practice, for example, when I provide comic book editing services for publishers, which I hope to be able to do much more of in the coming years.
Just this 2024, and after 2 years of studying English, I’m working on my first comic to USA written by me in the Salty Roos series. Thinking of providing services writing comic scripts I am available for any genre, except projects involving pornographic themes and where religious beliefs are ridiculed or parodied.
Here you can see some pages of the third party projects I mentioned:
Pencils/inks in these samples by Constanza Rojas-Molina and Nitrox Márquez. Pencils/colors in “El Mago del fin del mundo” by Roberto Román.
