NEWCOMER PROJECTS - Marco Russo Art

New
Projects

On this page you will find proposals for some new projects for various publishers.
Very different from each other, these new comics each describe a world of characters, in completely new situations.

Some took a few months of work, others a couple of years. While on some projects I only had to color, on others, I was like an artistic director taking care of everything that was "visual".
I consider each of these projects valid and I sincerely hope that they can be published as soon as possible.

Project Aporia

Volume 1

APORIA wants to be the beginning of a story that can fascinate the public looking to tackle particular issues also reinforced by the unique style of the artist. The story examines two main themes, one is that of Aporia, a term that indicates in ancient Greek philosophy the impossibility of daring a precise answer to a problem, since we were faced with two solutions which, although opposite, they both seemed valid. The second theme is that of Palingenesis, which is found in Stoic philosophy to generate the birth of the universe after its destruction through fire and therefore to place a cyclical condition in the cosmology of the universe of "Aporia".

The Aporia debut pages you see below have been made entirely digitally.
It was so exciting to be able to work on dynamic scenes with a strong visual impact! 4 internal pages were created plus a map of the places in the story.

If you also need to create comic book pages (traditional or digital) in a professional way, do not hesitate to contact us!

I Misteri di Onirica

“I misteri di Onirica” è una storia a fumetti scritta da Alberto Petrosino, disegnata da Alessandro Squadrito, colorata da me e coordinata da Marco Indraccolo.
Several pages have been created as proposals for publishers, these have been made several times in various versions to find better solutions in all aspects.

La storia è stata proposta per il Lucca Comics Project Contest 2016.

Danny Drift

Some time ago, Stefano Maffeo a kind gentleman, contacted me..

Stefano corresponds to the profile of the customer that everyone would like to have: kind and precise. He wrote a story called “Danny Drift“, which has a connection between military and racing. He provided me with a very detailed script, with all the reference pictures attached. He really thought it all!

I made these first 8 pages and the project logo for him. The pages are all in A3 size, inked and airbrushed in some areas.

About the internal pages, unfortunately, I have not had many opportunities to create these because I work a lot more with the illustrations, so I found the best solution. After a few tests, I decided to create the characters in a more graphic way and the environments and backgrounds in a more artistic way. This differentiation served me well, not only to give variety to the pages, but also to find a good compromise between a technique in which I’m more expert and one in which I’m less expert. Obviously, the more I have the opportunity to create internals and more they will develop. I wish Stefano the best for this project!

M. F. H.

A new and huge world, is "sporting" battles. Mysterious characters, different homes to each other. This is M.F.H.
I made: 4 numbers, the first with pictorial technique, the last with digital coloring on inked pages, the character designs of 4 characters, and 4 covers, one of which is a painful splash page variant.
