Commissions!!!

Commissions are now open!!!

I am now open for commissions! Since my work is mostly digital, my commission work will be mainly digital also. I might make a few exceptions, but i prefer to work the way i´m used to working regularly. You can use the Robin or Kid Flash pieces as examples of the kind of stuff i like doing, and unless stated all commissions wiil be in color. I will include the line work side by side with the colored piece as i did in the Robin and Kid Flash pieces, or separately if requested.

I prefer doing one character pieces, but i´m open for group shots or whatever else you might come up with.

For any questions about pricing and all the other details, please e mail
me at nunoplati@gmail.com

Please don´t ask me about commission related stuff in the comments areas, any questions i´ll be happy to answer them by mail.

I also don´t do characters that are not well known, which means that unfortunately i´m unable to do creator owned characters that haven´t been published and don´t have a well known track record.

All payments are to be made through my paypal account, nunoplati@gmail.com

I enjoy drawing comic book characters and anime related stuff, so those are the things to aim for!

Thanks a lot!

Nuno

Ashley Wood´s beautiful cover

Here´s the link ( http://www.comicbookresources.com/news/newsitem.cgi?id=11290 ) to the article on comic book resources about the 24/7 anthology that´s coming out this week.
There´s a tidbit about my stuff , and a mention of my brother Miguel Alves´s story also.

Animanostra!

Animanostra is a really cool Portuguese Animation production house, that i have the pleasure
to work with on all sort of different projects. Some see the light of day, some don´t but it´s all good! :)

These are a few examples of the stuff i did for them.

Guardians of the Galaxy

Starhawk ( Marvel Comics)
Yondu (Marvel Comics)

This is a minor redesign of Starhawk and Yondu of Guardians of the Galaxy fame, i did just for fun. I have the layout done of a big pin up with all the Guardians, but i´m currently lacking the inspiration to finish it!

Project Rooftop

Many, many thanks to the fine folks at Project Rooftop for featuring for the second time one of my attempts at redesigning a famous comic book character. I had my Rogue design featured a while ago, and now my Corsair redesign is up there, which is a great honor for me, since i consider this to be one of the most original and fun ideas to come around in a long time in the world of comic book related websites.! :)

24/7 ANTHOLOGY!!! VOL. 2!!!

It´s been a long time since i posted, but since the mighty Ivan Brandon has started to talk a bit about the second volume of the 24/7 anthology, of which i am luckily a part of, along with my brother, i´ve decided to do a bit of shameless promotion! :)
C.B Cebulski, of Loners, Drain and Wonderlost fame, wrote my segment, and pretty soon i´ll be able to show some bits and pieces from it. For a quick sneak peek at the book here´s a link

http://www.comicbookresources.com/columns/index.cgi?column=litg&article=2760

Just scroll down and you´ll see it
The bottom left panel is from my story, and the third right panel counting from the top belongs to my brother´s story.

More news soon!

EA/ Jamdat mini golf

Last year i was invited by the very nice and talented Jamdat mobile gaming art director James Chung to work on the new version of the very succesful Jamdat minigolf game.
I worked on the Egypt level of the game. I designed the in game background, and gave the very talented Julian Hector a hand in the menu background. This was all thanks to the great people at Drawn! . By following the links you´ll get some more info on the whole thing.
Thanks to all those involved!

Holidaze concept design

These were the chosen designs for the Holidaze project by me and C.B. After a few changes, and a bit of mix and match, this is what we ended up with.

Holidaze

This is one of the projects that i´m working on with the very cool C.B Cebulski, of Loners, Shiki,Marvel fairy tales, Mangaverse, Drain, Wonderlost fame to be published by Image comics.
You might have checked some info on this in the Image forums or at Silver Bullet comicbooks.

Morangos com açucar

This is some of the stuff i did for the last season of the Portuguese teen soap" Morangos com açucar", which means strawberries with sugar, by the way. My Portuguese agency WHO, got me the gig, and i had to do a bunch of stuff, like the image with the kids dancing, for example, was used as the background for one of the sets that was basically the beach bar/café where the kids hang out. It´s all about beautiful people and teen problems, but it´s a huge success here in Portugal. If you google it you´ll see what i mean.

Superman

A quick Superman i did the other day.
(TM) DC Comics

The Zodiac continues

Taurus and Cancer ( WHO) published in ACTIVA

Starjammers re design

This is a Corsair re design i did, sort of following the same logic as the previous x designs.
Maybe i´ll try and do something with them so i can pitch it to Marvel.
