OUT NOW! Our short comic THREADS OF FATE is on the newest HEAVY METAL MAGAZINE (it's the "November Issue" but it's out already). The story was written by RG Llarena, drawn by Milton Sobreiro and colored/lettered by me!

EARTHBUILDERS back on Zuda

*sobreiro — Tue, 18 Aug 2009 08:00:06 PDT

Hey, starting today we'll have new EARTHBUILDERS pages (or 'screens' as they call them over there) every week on Zudacomics!

Newsarama Interview!

*sobreiro — Mon, 03 Aug 2009 10:02:46 PDT

Earlier this year I was interviewed by Chris Arrant for Newsarama, and it's finally up!

Check it here.

(Back then I hadn't won on Zuda yet, so that's why there's no mention to Earthbuilders)

Invisible Scraps

*sobreiro — Wed, 03 Jun 2009 09:46:26 PDT

So... I've been searching around my DeviantArt page and gallery for a while now, feeling rather dumb, you know? The reason is that I just can't find a goddamn link to my scraps! In the old ages, young friends, before all this sassy design, DeviantArt was an uglier, stiffer animal, BUT, and here's the whole point, there was a very CLEAR link that would take you into your scraps! Now they seem to exist on a magical limbo, where no human eyes are meant to pry. You may exile one of your lesser deviations there, but, just like dumping radioactive waste down on the Marianas Trench, don't expect nobody else to ever see it.

Perhaps this is a sort of silent but stern punishment the DA people came up with to keep people from uploading unfinished artwork?

Or maybe I'm partially blind and the link's RIGHT UNDER MY NOSE. If that's the case, help this fragile old man locate his long lost sketches and half-assed drawings.

PS: I looked in the site's Help and, according to them, the link SHOULD be here:

Daniel Brandão on DeviantArt

*sobreiro — Fri, 01 May 2009 19:42:18 PDT

I just found out one of Brazil's best comic artists (in my opinion) has a DeviantArt page. Be sure to check his work and remember to keep an eye on him:

I already had the pleasure to color some of his pages for a past project, here they are:

Earthbuilders joins Zuda

*sobreiro — Thu, 30 Apr 2009 11:15:44 PDT

After a really hard fight, we in the last minute managed to take a lead and WON THE ZUDA COMPETITION! We are really happy, we're still bouncing around so forgive me if I make little sense.

I'd like to thank the many, many friends and colleagues that gave us a hand and helped us promote our comic here on DA, on their journals and even doing some art, thank you so much, this sounds corny but we only won because you all got together and helped us.

THANKS!

Earthbuilders - The Last Hours

*sobreiro — Wed, 29 Apr 2009 18:53:49 PDT

Well, today April's Zuda Competition ends.

The votes aren't visible, but considering the views and favs, seems that our comic, EARTHBUILDERS, is tied with the first place contestant. These last hours are decisive, and with no clear lead is hard to see who'd win. If you are a watcher and probably like my work, I'd ask you to give me a minute of your time to sign up at Zudacomics.com and vote for our comic. You'd be giving me work and in exchange you'd be able to read a full science fiction graphic novel colored by me, for free, online! That's a win-win situation in my book, folks.

Thanks in advance and let's see how this turns out.

There's been some EARTHBUILDERS art popping in DA, I hope these are just the first of many

Thanks, guys, excellent work!

Earthbuilders-Inspired Art

*sobreiro — Tue, 14 Apr 2009 07:52:07 PDT

Hello Deviants and Devianettes,

The competition at Zuda is still going strong, we're holding the second place so far, but we still got two weeks to climb to the top!

I'd like to leave an open call to any DA artist willing to lend us a hand spreading the word about EARTHBUILDERS to create a drawing, pin-up, "fan-art" (sigh) or anything inspired in our webcomic! You can chose any of the characters and once you upload it, let me know in the comments and later on I'll post another journal entry with all the drawings. Since the competition at Zuda ends on April 30th we'd need the drawings ASAP!

Thanks

Again on Zudacomics!

*sobreiro — Mon, 06 Apr 2009 19:31:08 PDT

Yet again I am competing on Zudacomics! This time with EARTHBUILDERS, a sci-fi adventure on a planet called New Sapmi.

In order for the story to continue beyond the eight pages you see there, we need for you to log in and VOTE on our comic! The whole process of signing in, voting (plus adding 5 stars and adding the comic to your favorites as well) takes about a minute and is really helpful for us!

The comic was done by:

Abraham MartÃnez - Plot

R.G. Llarena - Script

Axel MedellÃn - Art

and me, Felipe Sobreiro - Colors and Lettering

Popgun won a Harvey Award!

*sobreiro — Tue, 30 Sep 2008 08:12:17 PDT

Hey, this journal is just to let people know that Popgun won a Harvey Award! For those who don't remember, our REMNANTS comic was featured there! So, we sort of won a tiny fraction of a Harvey Award ourselves (haha)...

Our work in Boom! Studios' CTHULHU TALES

*sobreiro — Mon, 22 Sep 2008 10:44:35 PDT

Some months ago, the people of Boom! Studios got in touch with us, they liked our work in Popgun and wanted to see if we were interested in doing something for them. The initial product of this contact is CURRENT CHAOS, a short comic written by Todd Lepre and that will be featured in THIS WEEK'S (3rd week of September 2008, in case you read this later) CTHULHU TALES # 5!

The pencils and inks were handled by my father, Milton Sobreiro and I did the colors and the lettering.

These are the two covers of the issue:

Cursed Planet on Zuda Comics!

*sobreiro — Mon, 02 Jun 2008 15:47:00 PDT

Hello DA people! This journal is to let everybody know that this month our CURSED PLANET comic is competing against another 9 entries in DC Comics' Zuda website!

This comic was made by the very same team that created LIVING MORPHEUS (Heavy Metal Magazine) and REMNANTS (Image Comic's Popgun), which means it was written by R.G. Llarena, illustrated by Milton Sobreiro, colored and lettered by me.

The only chance we have to get a contract and have the rest of the story published - and for you as a reader to know what terrible threats Nicholas Jericho and his men are going to face - is by winning the competition! And, to do that, we need your help!

You got to log in Zudacomics.com (if you don't have an account already, you can create one in mere seconds), read our comic and, if you liked it, vote for it! If you're also inclined, you can help us even MORE by adding it to your favorites, rating it and leaving us a message!

Popgun Anthology!

*sobreiro — Tue, 27 Nov 2007 18:51:44 PST

Today is the big day! Finally, Image Comic's POPGUN ANTHOLOGY is out! 500 pages of amazing high quality comics by a bunch of very talented people, newbies and pros alike (people like Mike Allred, Erik Larsen, Jim Mahfood). Amongst all those cool comics, there's REMNANTS, a short comic by RG Llarena, Milton Sobreiro and me! Be sure to check it, I haven't been able to see the actual book yet, but I've been told it looks amazing.

Ideafixa E-Mag

*sobreiro — Tue, 18 Sep 2007 08:22:48 PDT

This week was released the eight issue of Ideafixa, a very cool online illustration magazine, and this edition's topic was "Self-Portrait". I'm proud to say they accepted some art from me and it's being featured there. The pieces aren't new, they're both even here in my DA gallery, but if you want to check the mag, the link is:

Our work in Image Comics!

*sobreiro — Wed, 22 Aug 2007 19:10:26 PDT

Our work will be featured in POPGUN, an oversized anthology published by Image Comics, out in November! RG Llarena, Milton Sobreiro (my father) and me, after doing Living Morpheus for Heavy Metal earlier this year, got together again and did a short story called Remnants. It's a little dark fable about free will, involving a mysterious metal idol in a wasteland. I already uploaded a page so you people can get a glimpse of our work:

Here's the Amazon link where you can pre-order the anthology, but I don't think the cover being displayed there will be the final one, I'm pretty sure it will be this one:

Mike Wieringo

*sobreiro — Mon, 13 Aug 2007 09:18:41 PDT

I can't believe this. Mike Wieringo passed away yesterday. Fuck.

He was a very cool guy, I followed his work in The Drawing Board, where he was always eager to participate just for the fun of it, and then here in DA, when I asked him to color a drawing of his, as a training exercise, he was tremendously friendly and supportive.

I really liked his work. He made it seem so damn easy and fun.

In Stores Now!

*sobreiro — Mon, 19 Feb 2007 09:48:28 PST

The Spring Edition of the Heavy Metal Magazine is in stores NOW, it's the Summer Special, and our LIVING MORPHEUS comic is there! Get it now, people!

This is the cover of the issue:

Interview!

*sobreiro — Fri, 02 Feb 2007 04:43:17 PST

My father an I have been interviewed by the Brazilian website UniversoHQ regarding our LIVING MORPHEUS comic.

Check it out here. (in Portuguese)

"LIVING MORPHEUS" IN HEAVY METAL!

*sobreiro — Tue, 19 Dec 2006 18:16:49 PST

Well, some of you suspected, a couple knew and most didn't knew:

Living Morpheus, a short comic R. G. Llarena wrote, my father illustrated and I colored, is going to be published in HEAVY METAL MAGAZINE next year! (More precisely, in the 30 Year Special Anniversary Issue coming out in February/March)...

We're really happy and thrilled about this, and proud that they liked our work, not in a million years could I have dreamed that one day I'd have a comic published in the magazine I used to read over and over when I was 15...

What a great way to finish a year.

Happy holidays, everybody!

Excellent News!

*sobreiro — Thu, 16 Nov 2006 19:15:27 PST

I have just learned that LIVING MORPHEUS, the 8-page little comic written by RG Llarena, drawn by my father and colored by me, WILL BE PUBLISHED IN THE USA EARLY NEXT YEAR!! I can't tell you yet by whom or exactly when, but as soon as I can, I'll let you know.

Meanwhile, you can check in my gallery for some LM previews I've been uploading...

10 things

*sobreiro — Wed, 06 Sep 2006 12:59:22 PDT

I've been tagged by , who gave me the task to write down 10 things about my art and then tag 6 others. So, and ignoring if anyone out there would be interested to read this...

10) I always listen to music while I do it. ALWAYS.

9) Some of the many artists that inspire me for very different reasons are: Jean 'Moebius' Giraud, Enki Bilal, Mike Mignola, Simon Bisley, Frank Quitely and Bill Sienkiewicz.

8) My father, who's also an artist always supported me when I chose to follow his steps, he never pushed me towards it or against it.

7) I like to paint in acrylics once in a while, I'm not too good at it, though. I tried oil years ago but it takes forever to dry, so I never tried again (check next item)

6) I'm rather hasty when I draw, although I love to do it... even when I'm doing serious work I feel this urge to hurry and finish.

5) Among all subjects, I seem to have a tendency to draw old people, the more wrinkles the merrier. I don't know why. I also like to do monsters and such.

4) I used to HATE the women I draw, always rough-looking and wonky. Lately they've been improving.

3) Most of the time I'll be working in A4 (almost Letter-size) paper, making tiny drawings. I'm more comfortable doing even comics that small, despite the lack of details I can put there.

2) Even when I really like a drawing I do, a couple of years later I check it and usually think it's hideous and embarrasing.

1) I've always felt that I draw the way I can, never the way I want to.

Tag time!

Site Updated

*sobreiro — Thu, 24 Nov 2005 14:42:06 PST

After more than a year with the same look, I finally decided to change it from green to blue and twitched the design a bit. I also took down some of the older, uglier pieces... about time to let them bastards rest in piece already.

Comments are appreciated.

Just 1 Page!

*sobreiro — Mon, 12 Sep 2005 14:29:02 PDT

OK, let's try this again... I'll make a drawing for the person who visits my home for the 2222th time. If you're the lucky one, place a message in my front page letting me know...

Nobody won... again

*sobreiro — Sun, 16 Jan 2005 14:23:40 PST

The 2000 views came and went and nobody claimed the prize. Well... :S

2000 views approaching

*sobreiro — Tue, 11 Jan 2005 07:20:09 PST

Soon someone will view my page for the 2000th time, and I intend to make a drawing for the winner, whatever he/she asks. To avoid confusions like the last time, the person who scores the 2000 views must send me a Screenshot of my front page to felipe @ sobreiro.com

Will Eisner: 1917 - 2005

*sobreiro — Tue, 04 Jan 2005 16:29:24 PST

Last night died Will Eisner, the single most important creator of american comics, a true revolucionary artist that worked practically non-stop during 70 years of brilliant career, and was admired for fans and pros equally. A great loss.

Ho ho ho - Now I have a machine gun

*sobreiro — Mon, 13 Dec 2004 14:54:03 PST

December arrived but instead of peace and joy I'm busy as I wasn't this last semester. School work from one side, drawings, drawings and drawings from the other. But, well, since I don't care much for christmas and all this work means some good possibilities next year, I can't complain...

Space Princess - Colored

*sobreiro — Thu, 19 Aug 2004 07:05:42 PDT

My friend colored the b/w drawing I recently did. Go check it: [link]

Hmm... nobody won

*sobreiro — Wed, 11 Aug 2004 08:56:24 PDT

My 1000 views came and went and nobody claimed the prize. But because I'm nice I'll make a drawing for whoever gets to hit the 1010th visit here.

1000 views approaching

Soon (?) this page will have 1000 views, and I intend to do a customized drawing for the person who wins, so keep visiting!

Site Update

*sobreiro — Tue, 13 Jul 2004 17:40:13 PDT

I altered the color scheme of my website, uploaded some of the images I've been putting here and took down some of the older, uglier ones. There's also a new section for my photos.

John Faust: First Look

*sobreiro — Mon, 07 Jun 2004 07:26:49 PDT

JOHN FAUST's writer Alex de Campi uploaded in her website the four first uncoloured pages, drawn by me. Go see them!

The pages will be coloured by Len O'Grady.

Working

*sobreiro — Tue, 04 May 2004 15:56:28 PDT

I'm beggining to do the first pages of JOHN FAUST, written by Alex de Campi... since we want to publish it under european standards, I got to do a reaaally detailed work, which is good, except that this way I'm working too slow and carefully and I don't feel I'm making most progress...

But this comic will kick ass, you'll see.

Back

*sobreiro — Mon, 02 Feb 2004 05:26:32 PST

I spent one and a half months in BogotÃ¡, the city were I grew, visiting all my friends. Now I'm back in BrasÃlia (this city sucks), but I'll upload a lot of new stuff, specially doodles I did while in vacations. Stay tuned.

...

*sobreiro — Mon, 20 Oct 2003 15:10:27 PDT

I bought myself a new computer. I could do it thanks to some freelance jobs as an illustrator I've been doing. I worked with no time and in the end the pieces looked like shit, but the clients loved them. Here in BrasÃlia seems like they just want to have it done fastly, not to have something good done. I'm not proud of the results, except for a couple. I also had to do " cartoony", and under-rendered drawings, so I was kind of out of my area... :S

I'm temporarily out of scanner, as soon as I can I'll upload things here.

...

*sobreiro — Mon, 20 Oct 2003 15:01:00 PDT

I bought myself a new computer, but I'm temporarily scanner-less. As soon as I can, I'll post new stuff here. Sorry...

Hello.

*sobreiro — Wed, 11 Jun 2003 15:36:24 PDT

So, after a long while I suscribed to DeviantArt, in order to share my stuff with more people and see what's being done out there. Please comment, either if you like or dislike what you see here.
