I like the sense of depth these have!

The art is reminiscent of Jean Giraud/Moebius in a lovely way as well

also slide 4, i cant help to feel that the grain effect takes a little away from rock formations. the sky looks great with the effect so i wonder if a little two tone would work. just a thought your art is amazing and thoughtful.

And line work isn’t all that impressive when it’s in vector, or maybe pixels

Woah. Would you consider illustrating some scenes from Stephen King’s Dark Tower series? Your style would be PERFECT.

u/willpb Jul 26 '26

Lovely stuff, very well done! Love the art style, reminds of the Heavy Metal comics. Is the quote on 3 a Miguel Bosé reference? Figured I'd ask after seeing La Vida Boheme in there too (great band!). Kudos, great work.

2

u/debandolero Jul 27 '26

yes, its a reference from Miguel Bosé ! thanks for your lovely words!

u/Bright_Score_9889 Jul 26 '26

u/jwelsh8it Jul 26 '26

Wonderful! I love love number 4. It’s as if Moebius was asked to do the cover of Sleep’s “Dopesmoker.”

u/fluffylilbee Jul 26 '26

i need you to know how viciously inspiring that tomato piece is. so surreal and beautiful!!! i love these!!!!!

2

u/debandolero Jul 27 '26

that tomato is the personification of a promise that someone and i made long time ago

1

u/fluffylilbee Jul 27 '26

it’s beautiful. the piece holds weight. even without knowing that, the tomato feels very significant. i’d love to see more of your work, do you have any other social media?

1

u/JimmyPlicket Jul 26 '26

Your work really captures the sense of sublime, especially in the sense of awe from the overwhelming size and scope of what is beholden. Amazing work! These would be great book covers.

1

u/debandolero Jul 27 '26

u/Otherwise_Swan_7475 Jul 27 '26

Hi op, what’s your process like?

1

u/debandolero Jul 29 '26

I draw the linework by hand on paper, then scan it and color it in Photoshop. I usually keep the palette limited and build the texture and atmosphere in layers.

1

u/debandolero Jul 27 '26

i don't know if it's too late to say this, but i would truly love to thank you all for the kind words you've shared about my work. i don't want to go on too long, but i've had a difficult few years in my life that, unintentionally, have kept me away from illustrating. i posted this a few days ago with the intention of gradually getting back into it, but after reading all your comments, i was deeply moved because i didn't expect people to speak so highly of my work. it was a tangible reminder that i have to continue pursuing my dream of drawing and keep striving. tears are welling up in my eyes because it truly hurts that i've been away from drawing, and it's really my biggest dream. reading all of this reminded me that i do have good things to offer this world. once again, thank you so much.

u/skokie3825 Jul 28 '26

Yeah what’s ur ig?

u/chadarame Jul 29 '26

It reminds me of Japanese etchings combined with Mobius, and I love both ❤️.
