Ammazing!

Age Limit

2011-10-22T05:15:00.000-07:00

This comic was done about a year ago for a competition. The theme was "Quality ageing" so basically we had to draw comics about how awesome it is to be old. I had a pretty good concept but that was too much so I had to soften it a little bit. I'm not very happy with the result, anyhow the art isn't that bad. I looked at a lot of Bruce Timm stuff. Read it and feel free to comment your opinion!

More design work on Csoma

2011-10-21T09:10:00.001-07:00

Csoma's Tibetan pilgrim buddy

I'll post more comic related as soon as I can other news ahead!

Old stuff new stuff

2011-10-16T10:17:00.000-07:00

I recently been published in a Hungarian literature magazine called Café Bábel. It's in black and white but still it's cool that it got printed in a paper outside the comic field. The book includes articles and comics by several other Hungarian authors around the topic of fairy tales...well sort of.
In the mean time, I'm currently working on a new comic. More to come!

Csoma continued

2011-10-13T14:27:00.001-07:00

More visuals. For the pilot episode

I'm going to work on character designs of an animated short about a Hungarian historical person.

The design will not only be my job. Márk Juhász and I will form a group to do this.
I'll post more drawings soon...

film from last year

2011-10-05T17:15:00.000-07:00

Sweet Revenge from Miklós Felvidéki on Vimeo.

The stuff I posted pics of before. Have fun with it!

I did most of the boob animation. It was nice.

Playing Lucas

2011-10-03T06:30:00.000-07:00

Hey felluz!
I'm currently redrawing an old piece I did about 6 years ago. I used more flat colors back then and had less drawing knowledge. But the whole reason for this is an exhibition I will take part in.

more to come...

Cheers!

Boy Named Sue

2011-09-06T01:38:00.001-07:00

My first graphic novel finally published!

2011-05-19T12:43:00.000-07:00

some random images.

And some early images. I drew the comic awhile back, but it took time to get an actual publisher for it. It's about a 100 pages long. We also had a signing at the Hungarian Comics Festival. It was pretty rough signing for 5 hours straight.

2011-02-21T21:40:00.000-08:00

So what?

Noname in space (again)

2011-01-20T10:58:00.001-08:00

So this year I skipped Fumetto but had a trip to the moon. The painting is done with cheap watercolor I brought last summer just for fun. I'm not much of a painter but I like doing it.

work work work

2011-01-16T06:43:00.000-08:00

More comics about customs. It's in Hungarian but the story isn't too interesting, it's about the EU
and permissions of selling our shit elsewhere or buying shit from china or from usa. How we can do that etc... Anyway I had pretty good time doing these comics, and the company is pretty pleased with them so I hope we'll keep on working together for a while. It's a good job to pay the monthly comics and drinks and stuff:)

Street-Fanart

2011-01-05T08:17:00.000-08:00

Happy new year to all you readers. I made this today as I was coming home. Get it?

Facebook job/3

2010-12-28T17:55:00.001-08:00

now with some subs!
Some messages are related to Katy Perry. That's because the kids who asked for these pics were all members of the Hungarian KP fanclub.

"Even if times are rough sometimes think about the beautiful things in life. Let yourself hear the song of truth, that there are people who love you-Merry Xmas!"
"Please draw me as I am throwing a snowball at my friend!"

"Dinosaurs are pony back riding in the forest to rescue King King who holds Katy Perry."
(The T-rex is saying: Listen Theo, Ponies only travel on rainbows!)
I'm not gonna translate this, it's just some girl writing how much she loves Katy Perry...
No interesting message here either
A buddy of mine asked me to draw him and me fighting for our lives in the nuclear winter as 90 year old zombies...

no funny lines here

"I'd like a drawing of the soul swallowing creatures that are messing with our fence under my window at night. Merry Xmas!" the creature says I'll swallow yer soul, the other one in the back
asks the closer one to come and join him because their spaceship is coming.

A romantic letter to Katy Perry again...

"Please draw my profile picture!"

Facebook job/2

2010-12-27T05:45:00.000-08:00

The message is pretty much what's on the picture

Magneto and I are floating cool while the love of my life is standing in front of us.

The girl asked me to draw her and two of her favorite pop stars (both Hungarian). The only problem that her profile picture was a dogs head so I did not have a clue how she might look like...

"I want a drawing of Red Bull drinking Pigs. After drinking they fly away:))"

"I want a drawing of Ellen page wich I can stick on my wall"

"I want a drawing of Carl Weathers as Action Jackson,
when he is mad because he's out of candy."

"A drawing of me with my favorite tv speaker"
the chick says:so this means we are a couple now?
boy: Nope!

"Hello, I'd like a drawing of a crazy computer maniac kid! Thx:D"

"Hello! Please draw a caricature of me!! Thx!!"
Chick didn't have a normal profile picture

"A Drawing of a half-devil/half-agel"

Facebook job/1

2010-12-26T10:51:00.000-08:00

I had a job where we illustrators had to draw the peoples xmas wishes with other fellow artists through facebook. These drawings were usually made in a very short period of time, because of the amount of messages so they are kind of sketchy. I'll post up more soon cause there is plenty of stuff where this came from.

" Make me the best dragon drawing ever"
That didn't happen.

"Please draw me thinking about my best friends at competition, while I'm at home studying"
on the picture they are drinking beer from bottles while the audience in the back shouts: DRINKDRINKDRINK!

"Draw me holding a Nora. thanks!"

Draw Batman fighting with Lady Gaga, thanks!

Draw me and my buddies as the Resevoir dogs!

A friend asked me to draw me and him racing with buses on top of our local train station

Santa stucks in a traffic jam so Xmas comes late, every body is sad...etc

Nothng special, but the chick's name who asked this x-mas card was Mónika Teknős which means Turtle.

"I want a drawing of a kid who's running from a Jesus who's been bitten by a radio active spider. Santa is in the back."
Jesus is saying: Great power comes with great responsibilities, dude!
Santa is saying : What's going on?

"I love you, my little angel"

2010-12-24T03:50:00.000-08:00

To all you fellas!

These characters might be familiar from a previous post. We made a 2,5 minute animation with them, I'll upload it next year so you can all watch it, but we still have some additional work on it, mainly sound and cutting work, but there is also some work with the animation.

So...

2010-12-07T02:47:00.000-08:00

I made an illustration for an upcoming comic art exhibition

stuff I get payed for

2010-11-23T11:02:00.000-08:00

I did a comic for a Hungarian company. It's about customs and all sorts of funny stuff...

I didn't put up any speech bubbles, the text isn't that interesting. I drew it by hand but a lot of changes had been made with the wacom tablet as well as the coloring.

MOME Master Id

2010-11-14T22:28:00.000-08:00

Our schools master program will have a commercial, so we students had the task to come up with ideas for it. The short vid had to give you the feeling that MOME gives a wide range of opportunities in a lot of industrial arts like fashion, design, photo, animation etc...

But we didn't have to show this info so directly, we had the chance to just come up with a visually interesting idea that gets the viewers attention. Because the lack of time I reused my character designs from last year:)

And here's the board:

An old couple is fishing, suddenly they catch something.

It's a magical goldfish with sparkles and stuff...

The fish conjures up stuff like a plasma tv, a set of clothes or a brand new car.

The old lady is happy about this.

The fish spits out a new house and a lot of random objects, the old fisher feels annoyed...

So he kicks the fish back to the ocean.

The wife's not happy, fisher is. But the fish starts glowing from underneath the water.

Huge MOME MASTER logo brakes out from the water. end

This film will probably never be made so don't worry! :D

Hungarocomix

2010-10-13T05:11:00.000-07:00

I did a poster for a Hungarian comics festival. Finally I'm allowed to post it so here you go!

New project

2010-09-29T06:33:00.000-07:00

I'll do most of the visuals for an upcoming school animation project. The story will take place on the set of a fantasy film.

These are the first sketches where I tried to capture the world and the characters:

Designing the backgrounds was always a hard task for me since I always preferred making characters. But I had a couple of ideas how I wanted it to look like. I got some inspiration from
a Frank Frazetta book I brought this summer.

These will be the main characters:
I tried to make them simple without losing the core elements of fantasy characters.

So this is the whole crew director, busty victim chick, the good guy and the bad guy...

These are some of the visual concepts which also tell the story:
the story (which the teacher wrote us, so we don't have to come up with it) is about a film shooting or a premiere of a play where somehow the dude who plays the badguy turns out to be fighting the other actor for real. In this random situation the woman actor who was basically playing the victim has to save her "lovers" life.
So the saved becomes the savior and vice versa...

In my version of this tale the kid with the bad hair steals the last sandwich from his fellow actor who gets pretty mad at him and the rest is all seen in these pictures.

(ouch)

The film will probably be made by this december, yay!

"How Can That Be True..."

2010-09-21T15:07:00.000-07:00

Some bits from my sketchbook. The last one's a study I did for a possible upcoming animation project.

My Influence Map

2010-09-12T13:54:00.000-07:00

I saw this the other day on WJC's blog. I thought it would be fun to collect my top influences. So here they are, the dudes who's stuff I watch the most when doing comics and stuff...

Click here and make your own map from the template!

Good Luck!

page 1 colored

2010-09-07T16:33:00.000-07:00

I thought I should publish the totally finished first page here. Hope you dig it!

Page 1 INKED!

2010-08-30T15:54:00.000-07:00

Today I had to go to school to waste my whole day instead of working on thsi comic. But finally I finished the inking of the first of 4 pages! (a little Guy Davis stuff by the side to help with the blacks:)

DINOSAURS, CAVEMEN AND THE F***ING COLOSSEUM..!

2010-08-29T16:16:00.000-07:00

...in this preview of my newest comic iin the making.

Some shitty photos I did with my phone of the comic I'm working on. Today was penciling day, tomorrow hopefully will be the day for the lightbox and the inking so the day after tomorrow I can finally color the whole shit and send it just before the deadline. Sounds pretty impossible, but I hope it'll still work out the way I planned it. Inked pages, comin' up!

New NONAME 4 pager

2010-08-28T01:28:00.000-07:00

I'm working on a comic for a europian anthology. It will be a four page story under the theme morning, day, evening, night. I just finished doing the storyboards but deadline is pretty close so I'll have to start drawing pretty fast, Stay tuned! Pencil samples coming up!

Life over 60 (untranslated...yet)

2010-08-28T01:17:00.000-07:00

!!! UPDATE: TRANSLATED STUFF HERE !!!

Even if it didn't win the contest I got a surcharge for the stuff. The story isn't such a big deal, I didn't have time to translate it yet but I'll definietly swich this version with a translated one once I have time to do it. I think it worked out pretty well as a comic. I tried to learn some inking from Bruce Timm's pinups and comic art as well as from Dan Clowes (coloring was a thing I took from Ghost World). The task of the contest was to make a comic that shows the positive side of old age.

And Last but not Least a song that matches my comic in some ways
When I Get Old by the Descendents!!!

Hellboy losing hair at a young age

2010-08-24T06:19:00.000-07:00

I always wondered why Hellboy was frustrated by being baldy right from the start, not to mention Abe...

60+ Preview

2010-08-03T00:24:00.000-07:00

First two pages of the comic I'm doing about old people. I think it'll be good. I'll upload a translated one after the whole competitions over.

Studio and other stuff

2010-07-29T08:16:00.000-07:00

Some pics of my messy room and sneek peek at the project I have to finish by tomorrow. I'm pretty behind so I'll have to pull my shit together if I want to do the six pages with the coloring by tomorrow noon. I'm inking with brush which is an extra difficulty factor. I prefered using art pens and rotring radiograph pens up until this point. I have to teach myself to handle this tool!

Now back to the table folks!

60+

2010-07-25T18:16:00.000-07:00

I'm currently working on a 6 page comic about retired older guys who have a blast doing hat ever they want to. This piece will be done for an "invitation only" competition, the first prize winner will get some money and all works ill be exhibited here in Budapest. I'll post up some inked pages in a couple of days.

Bye!

Cheers!

Spanish book

2010-07-22T15:56:00.000-07:00

I'll be working on a spanish-hungarian language book this summer. These are the main characters who I designed for the book.

Mista Gorilla

2010-07-22T15:50:00.000-07:00

I'm working on the spot of the 2010 Cartoon Forum that will be placed in Sopron this year. The short spot will be done with several techniques including paper cut-like and 3 dimensional computer animation. 4 of us work on the film, I only use anime studio pro this time. This gorilla is one of the designs I did today for it. I also started animating it, I'll post up the finished animation in a few weeks, I hope.

Cheers!

Shitty Conan sketch

2010-07-19T04:17:00.000-07:00

I saw Conan the barbarian a couple of weeks ago, and drew this into my sketchbook. I can't say I'm pretty good at drawing muscular dudes, but I'll get better.

storyboard reject

2010-07-18T08:48:00.001-07:00

There was an inner school contest to do a spot for a hungarian cinema. of course my idea was rejected but I thought it could still be wort uploading here, on my blog.

These were the characters. I designed the first kid for another storyboard, which was done by my man Márk. The original idea was that I will only do some design work but I couldn't help myself, not creating my own story for this competition.

Some early and pretty raw designs for Márk1s storyboards.

And the final storyboard that I did. It's about a couple who go to the theatre but notice that there is no easy way to get to their seats. So they start climbing up across the audience antill they fight their way up. Unfortunately when they arrive a big guy sits right in front of them. But luckyly he's so damn big that the film starts to run on his back (that's where the cinemas logo would appear).

Csüsz

R.I.P. Harvey Pekar

2010-07-15T16:21:00.000-07:00

I think I was the last who heard the bad news. Harvey Pekar respected and beloved author of the autobio comic anthology "American Splendor" died at 70. He was one of my favorite underground comic writers.
This fast doodle is my goodbye to the master.

Pedophile self portrait for Jacko's death anniversary

2010-06-28T16:15:00.000-07:00

Sorry, that wasn't very nice of me, actually it's made for a self portrait exhibition we are putting together with some friends of mine.

Exhibition in Lyon

2010-06-14T01:57:00.000-07:00

Some of us Hungarian comic artist had been exhibited in Lyon. Although I was in Annecy which is pretty close to Lyon, I didn't manage to get to the opening. Here's a vid interview about the stuff, although I couldn't understand it since I don't speak french at all. Excusez-moi for that:)

Character design

2010-05-22T06:13:00.000-07:00

I made this montage of how the characters evolved in my head from the first versions to the last ones. The early ideas look more like comic figures and illustrations rather than concepts for actual character designs. KLICK on the image to see the full pic!

And this is a character sheet. Not perfect but I didn't have time to do final versions before starting the movie.

Storyboards for the movie I did

2010-05-20T16:38:00.000-07:00

This is the actual storyboard I did for my film (previous post) I did it with pencil but I did some correction with my tablet.

Take care!

Brainy cartoon

2010-05-18T08:22:00.000-07:00

I didn't want to post this toon i did because it's in Hungarian and I just can't attach subtitles to it, but what the hell, i'll post it anyway!
I did this cartoon in school. The task was to make an animation based on sound that we collected. Most of us (like me) used radioplays as a base, and animate on that. So many of you who are not Hungarians, will not get what the shit's actually happening, which is fine, because this cartoon doesn't make any sense. The main story is about this guy who goes to the doctor because he has problems with his brain. The doc examines him by asking if he eats the soup with a fork or a spoon. When he gives good answers the doc tells him that he has a super good workin' brains. It's hard to give back the hungarian puns N' stuff. I animated with flash but I totally used it as a blank piece of paper. I drew with my wacom tablet. The backgrounds were done by my lovely girlfriend. ENJOY!

Untitled shitte

2010-05-18T08:15:00.000-07:00

I've been pretty cruel to this blog lately. I'll try to avoid continuing that by posting up some stuff.
One thing is that I just started plotting a 100 page long comic based on my Noname character (the fox). It's gonna be a pretty big project since I don't have that much time because of school, work and other stuff. Anyways I'm planning to be finishing it by the end of 2012. So it might be finished before the end of the world (just kiddin'). Until than I did this raw sketch of Noname based on a Frazetta Sci-fi character. Rest in peace man!

Bubble Pealer

2010-03-21T15:10:00.000-07:00

I did a Kirby cover for the cover (bwahahaha) of a comic critics fanzine called Buborékhámozó (Bubble Peeler). Underneath is an issue of Hate which I just brought.

The Last Match-done

2010-03-12T09:34:00.000-08:00

finally I had time to do this...

paraphrasis

2010-03-03T18:19:00.000-08:00

This is Caravaggio's Entombment

And these are my versions:

Some John Byrne, Mark Silvestri and Sal Buscema
but it's mainly the impact of marvel comics published in the mid 90's Hungary...

100% Spiegelman rip-off, By the way I did this with the tablet.

Schulz had enough characters in his peanuts series to make me able to pull this off.

So why the hell am I doing this? I'll tell you later, and take a nap first!

The Last match

2010-02-26T11:25:00.000-08:00

David Schitter, who is a member of the Kuš! Baltic comics magazine invited me to join the exhibition of the last match. To encourage me he sent some pretty nice stuff, including an issue of Kuš. The task was to draw a little picture which is connected to the theme "the last match".
This is the paper I have to draw on:
I'll post p the finished work, as soon as I do it!

Mime ACT-more coloring previews

2010-02-23T00:25:00.000-08:00

I'm currently half way through the coloring process of Mime act, here are some pictures. I erased the text from the balloons but the thing will be completely hand lettered.

Coloring MIME ACT-first preview page!

2010-02-15T01:33:00.000-08:00

The first preview page of my graphic novel-MIME ACT, more to come...

The stuff I always hated to do, was the coloring. That's why my colors are so simple, and easy to do. This of course does not spare me all the time because I'm not even half way through the 100 pages. The other thing is that most of the drawings were done years ago when I was about 16-17 , so these are not as good as I could do them now, but I think it may be interesting to follow how the drawings gets better as the story moves forward... (Still I had to redraw some parts...not this one)

stay tuned!

Mime-Act in progress

2010-02-09T23:05:00.000-08:00

Here are some pieces of my work on the comic I mentioned, I just finished inking and lettering the pages, now I just have to color and make the fake covers for every part of the story. For me, making the covers is a much harder process than doing a comic because while in one comic page you have several drawings that can capture the viewers attention, at a cover you have to make it as one great panel that really is good to be watching.

MIME ACT-My First graphic novel on it's way

2010-01-19T05:06:00.000-08:00

I'm currently working on my first full color graphic novel which will hopefully be published in Hungary this year. I started this project when I was about 15, but as time passed I started paying less and less attention to it. Now I'm back working with full power on redrawing some of the early stuff and correcting the dialogues at some points. I'll post more shit soon... until than: some studio shots...

TMNT fun 2

2010-01-10T14:07:00.000-08:00

I dunno maybe I like them thatat much! I started to color the sketch with my wacom tablet, but I lost interest since it didn't look good without the original line drawing in front of it.

a fanart from me-Raph

2010-01-09T18:06:00.000-08:00

As a little kid I was a big fan of the turtles, I dunno why I but I drew them all the time and asked my father to read the TMNT comics for me (I couldn't read back then) I watched all the movies and toons that I could find on television. But as I got out of kindergarten I was interested no more. I thought maybe if I do a quick pencil drawing I'd remember the turtle wibe, and yeah you know what? I still love them! Maybe I'll ink and color it later on, but I'm not sure I like them THAT much :D

Lambiek?

2010-01-03T09:46:00.000-08:00

I'm on Lambiek.net! And the weird thing is that I didn't even write them any letter to put me up there! But that's not the whole story, because some other Hungarian cartoonists were also submitted in this online encylopedia. Good for us, I guess...

another wacom piece

2009-12-30T05:49:00.001-08:00

I tried to paint my girlfriend with the wacom tablet again. Well it could be much better but atleast the second looks like her a little bit.

Awkward family photos

2009-12-27T12:09:00.000-08:00

Some family pictures I made for the beginning of our stop motion film Simon & Garfunkel™.

A short comic for fathers and sons

2009-12-25T04:08:00.000-08:00

This is the one I was going to post but I was to lazy to translate it because of the lame story and primitive dialogs that I made for it. I did this piece for a school task.You may have seen the characters from previous posts. In this comic the eighties geek boy meets the weird old man who happens to be his own dad. I wanted to mix the styles. The father represents this dark, film noir-like world, while this boy is is pretty much his opposite with the bright colours. At the end their worlds became one.

Oh yeah and happy holidays by the way!

The Tale of the Fisherman and the Fish

2009-12-21T14:08:00.000-08:00

Here are pieces of my work for the cartoon design course.The task was to create visuals for a fictional upcoming 10 to 20 minute cartoon based on a fairy or folktale. The story I choose was The tale of the fisherman and the fish. This was written by the Russian poet Alexander Pushkin.

According to the tale a poor old couple live by the sea and the husband who is a fisherman goes out and catches a golden fish by accident. The fish promises to fulfill the old mans wishes if he let's go. But when the fishers wife hears that they can wish anything she wants everything...

The cover page clearly shows how many designs the fish went through.

The backgrounds were pretty hard to come up with. Mainly because
I didn't have a clue how to draw one (I'm better in drawing characters)

Some early sketches for the fisherman and his wife (the clowns staring at you kids)

Some finished designs for the main characters. The woman has 3 kinds of clothes for the three kind of homes.
One for the mobile home, one for the luxury mobile home and one for the skyscraper...

This second home is pretty much a mash of a boat and a train...and maybe a tank.

And the skyscraper which might be a giant robot.

making Simon and Garfunkel

2009-12-20T06:58:00.000-08:00

I scanned a few drawings that I made for the preproduction of the film.
These pictures mainly view the female character because she was the one that I designed.This storyboard is only a second version. Mark did a first but we had to make a new which was easier to follow. Anyway the finished shots of the film didn't look nothing like this because we found better ones.

details of the storyboard

Some of my friends say that the female character looks like my girlfriend, but the truth is that the looks are based on this photo.

I found it on the sexypeople blog.

When I found the most sympathetic character I started to change it so it became more cartoony

I did the first solid study of the head in plasticine (the gray one), then I did a small model from clay. The final heads were sculpted on polystyrene base. The nose and most of the heads were made of drying clay I only used soft clay for the parts we animated later on, like mouth or hair. I also made a head of the woman where I used soft clay everywhere so the big foot could easily kick it flat.

Mark made his puppets head the same way (Luca's photo)

I'll post one more bout some art I did for the beginning of the film.

Simon & Garfunkel™

2009-12-20T06:52:00.000-08:00

Márk and I did a puppet animation film on MOME. Klick on the picture to view the video!

The tune was performed by Szekszujel Fhifhies aand the song is written by Lidia and David. Vocals were sang by me and there were some other voice which was provided by my pal Oliver Olivér .

School Stuff

2009-11-20T14:01:00.000-08:00

There was a task in school which was to make up a character from four items you get randomly.
I got a kazoo, a classic Battletech sci-fi book, an empty pack of Lays chips, and a CKM which is a Hungarian men's magazine

I did a couple of sketches 'till I found what I want this guy to look like. I wanted him to be some geek who is also cool a little bit because he's confident enough not to give a damn about his losernes.

I also did a comic about him meeing his old man. I'll translate t and post it up as soon as I have time.

Bringing the generations together

2009-11-13T11:01:00.000-08:00

I took part in a comics exhibition here in Hungary, It was quite good, The gallery made a big print of one of my favorite pages of The Boy Named Sue.

It was the best exhibit I ever took place in. Nice saxophone music, wine and snacks and there even was a catalog of us artists. It pretty much blew my mind.

Last years school sketches

2009-11-12T15:03:00.000-08:00

These pieces were figure sketches I've done

And These were my pieces of a wall-long comic that the whole class did together. It was a pathetic experiment on making a comic with about 35 people involved. In the end it was just a lot of illustration after each other.

I saw War Zone

2009-11-11T11:10:00.000-08:00

Not such a good movie...but whatever!

The goldfish

2009-09-14T14:14:00.000-07:00

I have a 'film illustration' course at MOME now(stands for: Moholy-Nagy University Of Art And Design Budapest) which means I have to create the visual theme of a possible upcoming animated film (which will not be made of course). I choose the tale of the goldfish. This yarn was re written a lot of times but the most notable was the Russian writer's, Puskin's version. This is just one piece of my sketches. I'll put updates up as soon as possible!

Wacom

2009-09-07T08:41:00.001-07:00

I did a pretty bad drawing about my girlfriend with my Wacom tablet.
