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.

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!

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

I've decided to put on Amazon my first picture book, Gleam! (So it's affordable and easy to read it everywhere)

It's a story about a small creature and some flying whales.
Bonus: it's in rhyme!

If you have #KindleUnlimited, it's free!

Calling all comic friends and followers, i need your opinion!

do you like this page? I'm trindiecomicsring style, but i don't know if it convinces me.
Any tips, things to try?

main concern: too "flat" color-wise

While trying to pre prod for a comic book about a desolated place full of dead whimsical people, I want to take some time to plan on the environment, by choosing shapes that help the story. I always like this "level design" section of the project.
