Here's a short story I'm doing for GRAPHIC CLASSICS. I'm kinda excited and nervous at the same time about doing this, since I've loved the old Pendulum Press Illustrated Classics way back when I was a kid, and I guess I want the quality of my work to be up to those standards. Also, this is my highest profile gig yet in the US and I really want to do a good job on it. Plus, a lot of great artists have contributed to this series, including fellow Filipinos Gerry Alanguilan, Carlo Vergara, Arnold Arre and even Nestor Redondo.
On this page, I was contemplating if I should put some texture on the cabin walls, but thought that the overall page might look overworked. So I left it bare at first, but it looked too clean, so I just put some thin texture lines and added shadows for the figures. I think it worked out for the best since it added to the grim atmosphere of the scene.
I didn't have much indecision when inking this one. I just adjusted some of the shadows on the faces of the characters, so as to lessen the "muddiness" of the pencils.
This is for the upcoming AMBROSE BIERCE collection from Graphic Classics.

This is freaking awesome Reno.
Hanep! If your works are all gonna be like this, I mean in this genre, you really deserve to be on the book. Honest opinion bro, bagay yung rendering mo sa ganitong istorya.
Congrats Reno.
Hope you have many many more gig to come after this.
Thanks, guys.
Doing non-superhero stuff is always more fulfilling for me. It challenges me more. I feel when I'm doing something superhero related, I just breeze through it. Maybe it's because I've been doing that for a long time now. But stuff like this makes me give a little more of myself.
sunud-sunod na 'yan, reno!
Astig pre. Congrats! :)
Ang galing ng rendering mo dito, Reno. Classic na classic. congrats.
