Hey #Portfolioday!
I'm Marco! I make some comics, some illustrations and some weird code things!

Currently working on my first long comic about a soldier wandering around talking to dead skeleton people.

I love the Muppets and the guys at Dropout.
Fav pokemon: Dragapult

Ho partecipato a #FumettoMachia2 di Blekbord e sono felicissimo di aver omaggiato quella scalmanata di #Hilda!

Se passate a #LuccaCG2025 mi trovate in area self a firmare qualche copia e soprattutto a fare chiacchiere! ❤️

Taking this format from *that other place* to remind myself that there has been some improvement.

Still learning,
still trying
still having fun
(also, still ugly screaming, being frustrated, thinking nobody cares, not being happy with results etc)

I guess that's the game

Shading time!
I don't know, is it too much? Too much light / reflexes / blotches? Still trying to find good ways to finalize the pages for my pitch. Any suggestion is welcome.

If you see this post, you're part of a tiny club of people, so thank you!

my engagement here is approx 0 but i need a hand: could you help me choose a coloscript for my pitch pages?

(i don’t know if you do it in comics, i figured someone does it i don’t know i copied it from the movie art books and it felt cool)

so, the one i chose - still not suuuper in love with the rendering but i’m in the “better done than perfect phase”.

it conveys the gist of the story better (also, it was my best friend and gf favorite)

guys i can’t for the sake of me understand how to appear in custom feeds so i’m dropping random hashtags

Lately I’ve been working on improving the pitch for a story I care about.

In its first iteration, it didn’t find the luck I was hoping for, so I’m trying to improve a few things.

I’m not great with social media, but it’s good to remind myself — above all — that I’m still creating things. #art

they are quite a bunch, it might be more than enough

though if you need some suggestions i happen to live in Rome, so if needed ask away!

bonus pic me (long hair people seem to like them*) and my partner in crime Mello whom i love very much and is the sharpest tool in the shed for sure

*apart from the damn guy who finds me each year and mocks me for not publishing my things with his hoax publisher by saying mean things just because
May 25, 2025 at 9:08 PM
so at the comic fair i attended i saw a lot of people and i doodled them fast and dirty and i kinda like the result so i post it and that’s all.

making comics is wonderful i love it long live indie comics and self publishing but if you are a publisher and you wanna talk please dm 🤓
