It kinda sucks hard to hear that. I always hear great things about Spanish cinema... so many great artists.. And as far as art studios go, I thought Spain had a few huge ones there, too? I even thought of moving there so that I could have a change from silly USA...........

anyway. . . . I wish I could help more. All I can really say is to urge you to keep doing what you do. Your artwork has a LOT of character, and you're really great at pumping out fast work. Good luck with more commissions. I wish you the best!

don't worry, thanks,pal.

Everything when to pot comic wise in 1992 in Spain, when the whole market imploded. In one month, all titles, even the venerable TBO, could not, literally, be found anywhere.

Up to that year, Spain, along with France, were comic book powerhouses, and La Feria del Comic de Barcelona was as well attended as France's Anguleme's (France survived, barely, but they are back to number one). Once considered a serious job to held, it became a joke. Ibañez (Mortadelo y Filemon) was unemployed for a long while.

Video games. Video games killed the interest of young spanish adults for comics. Instead of rows of comics in a bookstore, dozens of Video game magazines flooded the bookstores. Comic shops became game shops, where games were sold or exchanged. 98% of Barcelona's comic shops shut down.

In 2000 I found a lonely comic shop in Barcelona ("Continuara..."), and the fares where Manga, Marvel, and dusty, moldy issues of pre-1992 spanish comics. On 2004, FNAC now carried comics in stores in Spain, but they were graphic bound comic collections of Manga and French titles, along with Marvel, and copies of comics by Spanish authors that were first published in France first ("Blacksad"). All talented Spanish artists are now working with French and American comic powerhouses, working with CG graphics with Video Game companies, or going online (Mike Bonales' "Conejo Frustrado").

Comics in Spain, I'm told, is a niche art related market now. Yes, they still have small conventions where the celebrate art comic fanzines, "classic" authors, or esoteric comic books. Barcelona's Comic Convention is canned goods now.

Sorry to sound bleak and bitter, but I had a Cartoonist job lined up in Spain when everything went to pot. Now, Character design for animation or toys/products in USA is my job, it doesn't need tablet or color needs, but I miss working in comics, or drawing funny animals in general.

In Spain, former comic artists friends of mine are working on Marketing and design firms, that is all I can suggest. Online?, I haven't searched that field.

Sorry for your situation. I would give my soul to be back in Spain too, working in comics, but,...

Eer, I didn't mean to sound so depressing or bring you down, sorry

Maybe you can ask Jabcomix? He probably could give you a job :) I'm not sure, but it's worth a shot. Anyway, I'm sure things will turn out all right. Keep your head up, buddy.

He's awesome :D he owns a comic site JabComix.com where he and other artists do hundreds of comics.

think you can also increase youre commission costs. youre fast and good at what you do. atleast 5 bucks in each field

You thing?.
perhaps something more, such as charging for more than three characters, or add a background... although I'm not used bacgrounds drawn
ok, thanks, man.

yes take more per character


and for the backgrounds. the only advise i can give is to train. If i was good at giving advices i whould teach you

ok. Thanks, pal.

Prueba en páginas como Fur After Dark, Sexyfur o alguna similar. Con una galeria tan completa y llena de commishions y con el estilo tan diferente que tienes te pueden meter.

ookey

I've considered asking for a commission if I can only come up with an idea that's worth the money. If you raise the prices, I'd probably still want to order one or two, but I'll settle for black and white drawings.

sure, no problem.
