ChesterQuest FTW!!!

Fri May 30, 2008, 3:01 PM
After years of hopes, unlucky moments and big delusions (I'll write about this next time) I was thinking of giving up with art to find another job. Such a sad story, please don't cry yet.

But then one day...

...I heard there was a worldwide contest from Marvel to find 20 new artists: the ChesterQuest.

I submitted something (with ZERO expectations) but a lucky star shone on me somehow: I'm one of the winners!!!! I really can't believe it!

So right now I'm working for Marvel and my first published work is in the shops NOW!! and it's from MARVEL!!!!!!! ok you can cry now!

Marvel Adventures Iron Man #13

I'm so happy and thrilled about this opportunity.
I'll post some pencil pages soon, I promise, but as always when I look back at my work I don't like it very much anymore.

It was made in a hurry (20-25 days) because I think I had to substitute another artist.


Now I'm working on Marvel Adventures Super Heroes: Ant Man #5 (quite a long title, isn't it?) and I hope I'll do a better job with it.


From zero to MARVEL... can't believe it, my head spins...

Ciao!

congratulations!! that program is amazing. It's too bad that I got in right before that thing. When I was still trying to break in, I loved hearing these stories because it gave me hope. I hope this is the start of a super long career for you friend;}

I hope that too! Thank you kindly my friend! :)

I loved too reading these kind of stories, and that's one of the reason I wrote it!

I still feel lucky and I hope to deserve this opportunity, there's plenty of AMAZING artist much better than me out there. But I hope to improve... :)

In effetti non è che mi hanno lasciato molto tempo per acclimatarmi, ma forse meglio così. Di sicuro mi sono reso conto di riuscire a stare nei tempi se serve.
Ora posto qualche tavola finita.
