Saw your interview with Boom. It was great to see and hear from the artist himself! You almost gave away too much on Sheva, but it was all good fun. You're famous! I enjoyed it. At last, I know how to pronounce your name, that was very helpful.

Like Zeus, lol. My name is Richard, too, there are a lot of us, like Richard (Dick) Grayson, aka Nightwing. You are very prolific, you have much more work than seen on DA. Excellence.

Sorry to brother u again but I just need to confine with someone a bit about
Being a artist when you have the drive but It's so hard when you feel like
I don't make any progress when I want to improve futher where I feel like
My artwork doesn't feel like fan art for atleast.

If you are stuck in a rut, and it happens to everyone from time to time, I found it helps sometimes to go out, take your mind off things, look at the world with newer eyes, drink in the works from other artists and seek inspiration from other mediums.

Hey Eliseu It's been a while and I was wondering If I ask u about How struggling it is
Sometimes being an artist can be such as the use of Photo references which can
too boring when u re use it too much when U can't draw what u want y'know.
It's very tough to bear sometimes.

Hey, Hersiali, it's been a while!
I use lots of references, especially for titles such as Stargate Atlantis/Universe and yeah, after a while it feels like it's constricting your creativity.
It's why I use them mostly as guidelines, to see how, for instances, a F-22 would look from this or that angle and then add a personal take on the perspective or the foreshortening.
I've been drawing cartoony style a lot lately, so it's very liberating to look at something and trying to cartoon-ify it.
That tendency has started to bleed into my more reallistic style and it can be quite enjoyable sometimes to "bend" the rules.

Yeah It's just that It's so frustrating alot over improving my skills for what I want sometimes.

But with wonder girl facing him alone and getting engulfed
In smelly slime that she can't get out of before the girls save in the end while wearing her version of that blue suit that
Lynda carter wore in that wonder woman TV show.

Vou ser directo e se calhar um pouco duro. Adoro a arte do Eliseu, há anos que sigo o seu trabalho (e às vezes é complicado encontra-lo, eh,eh), mas nestes anos todos o que menos gosto no seu trabalho é a pintura digital.
É um crime esconder o seu traço com cores tão "plásticas" e "falsas" como as que aplica na sua arte. Quem conhece trabalhos seus trabalhos a lápis/tinta da china decerto concordará comigo. E só ganharia se, sei lá, como o Frank Miller (outro que não se dá bem com as cores digitais) passasse a lançar as suas coisas a preto e branco (já deu uma vista de olhos no Kong do Osvaldo Medina?), porque, desculpe ser repetitivo, é um crime ver figuras tão perfeitas serem transformadas em personagens do mundo da Barbie e do Ken. Obrigado pelo seu tempo e tudo de bom para si. PS: Perspectivas de algum lançamento seu no mercado Português no futuro? Sei que a G-Floy parece que em 2017 vai finalmente começar a apostar nos autores nacionais, acho que o Eliseu deveria ser um dos primeiros a ter essa oportunidade.

Hey, Split-up Studio,
muito obrigado pelo post, estou sempre aberto a críticas.
Tinta da china é a minha casa onde estou confortável, mas a côr é o meu Santo Graal, tenho um fascínio por ela.
Honestamente, colorir não é um processo que me vem naturalmente, encher uma página de côr deixa-me completamente drenado de energia, mas 20 anos depois da minha primeira aventura no Photoshop, ainda estou na fase do deslumbramento e a tentar descobrir novas técnicas e possibilidades.
É verdade que ainda tenho muito que andar até encontrar algo que funcione (SE encontrar!), mas se não continuar a experimentar, como é que vou melhorar?

Consta que a G-Floy Studios anda a abrir a porta para publicar obras de autores Portugueses. Adorava ver um seu trabalho nessa casa editorial. Crossing fingers.

Obrigado, Split-up-Studio, é muito bem ver uma editora a abraçar o talento nacional.
O segundo episódio de Medusa 31 - Cidade Sitiada nunca foi publicado, talvez tente a minha sorte, mas olhando para aqueles desenhos de 1997, não me sinto muito seguro....

Não estou a ver a G-Floy a querer coisas com 20 anos.
É propor-lhes um "pitch" para algo novo.
Com o argumentista Nuno Duarte deram-lhe carta branca para uma nova série e o Jorge Coelho vai ter os seus mais recentes trabalhos na Marvel (Rocket Racoon e outros) editados pela G-Floy.
Já para não falar do album The Lisbon Studios Stories com vários trabalhos novos dos autores daquele estúdio.

Um, Hey listen I'm been meaning to ask about something about how I draw and looking
For someone who can give some advice,( I hope I'm not bothering u). Because when I draw
A picture I have look at a live figure(person) or a photograph to look at when I draw Something but when I draw something on my own I can't get it straight enough to make it
Good. So I ask for your advice on drawing.
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Hey, Hersiali,
thank you so much for your post, sounds to me like you've still have to practice freehand drawing.
Very different from drawing from a reference image since you have to tap into your memory's image bank and that takes time to fill.
Practice from live models or photos until you can picture it in your head so vividly you can draw it by heart.
It's how I learned to draw volkswagen beetles, for instances. ^_^

But my mind is racing with throughts all the time How am I gonna do that when it's like that.
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
It's all a matter of focusing, you need to be able to concentrate for large strips of time.
Learning to draw requires hundreds, thousands of hours of sketching, practicing and training.

Thanks for the advice man, I'll do my best.

Parabéns mano. Que evolução notável. O traço está cada vez mais seguro. O domínio da técnica está num patamar muito alto. Por outro lado as personagens ganharam uma elegância e um dinamismo soberbo no universo de fantasia em que se movem.
By the way: happy birthday

Obrigado, mana.
Agora é a tua vez de começares a colocar patilhar as tuas obras com a internet, acho que as pessoas iam adorar ver os teus trabalhos.
Afinal, foste tu é que começaste com toda esta história de desenhar quando éramos miúdos..

The Wonder Woman story is awesome, I will keep following. I like the moody dark colors, which befits the character, she deals with and is a part of something that deals with some serious, challenging issues, and I like how you explained where the Amazons come from, men seem to die after procreation, if I got that right. I also liked how you fit Nubia and other forgotten Amazons into the story. I once had an argument with someone about the Black Wonder Woman (her sister) and had to prove that she did exist at one time. Bravo, wonderful art and story. This is a great way to update her in a cinematic style. DC and WB don't seem to know what to do with her, they are missing out on a lot of money in this age of ass-kicking women on-screen (TV and Movies and Video Games.) They should take notice, your approach is very good. Wonder Woman engenders a lot of hate with the ancient Greek lesbian type of thing, like Sappho and her island Lesbos, which I think is what scares the movie people. I also like your old-school illustration style, reminds me of Milton Caniff in color.

Hi, Graffilthy,
thank you SO much for your comment, I really love getting feedback on my WW story (how else am I gonna improve, right? 
I try to inject as many elements and references from her long history any chance I can. Initially I wanted to create new characters but every new writer that comes along already does that, so why not explore her rich gallery of characters instead?
All these characters, her best amazon friend Mala, her rival Orana, her archenemy Circe, her sister Nubia (yes, she really DID exist, person-who-argued-with-Graffilthy
WW was a pioneer as the first superheroine and I fear DC is gonna miss the boat.
She should be up there in the silver screen braving new horizons, not playing second fiddle to the Green Lanterns, Flashes and whoever comes next.

Totally agree. Now is the time for Wonder Woman to have a movie. Those movie execs need to get things rolling. But they aren't the smartest people in the love. I lived in LA (Hollywood) most of my life and have met many of those movie people. More ego and flash than intelligence. WB and DC is way behind where they could be with their characters as far as live action movies. I don't understand that.

WOW, you're just amazing, a lot of movement and dynamism under a classic and careful drawing, love the discipline and the research, the amazons wearing the iconic garb from the antique greek vases is a marvelous detail, it speak about research and concept.
I'm your fan

Hi, Tremary, thank you so much for your words, I'm really happy that you've enjoyed the pages so far.
Yeah, I poured a bit of research into these pages since I wanted to stay at faithful as possible to the amazons of antiquity.
I'm not an historian, though, so I may often err on the side of artistic licensing.
For instances, on page 2 I wanted to place direwo...er, huge attack dogs ^_^ charging alongside the amazons because I thought it'd look cool.. til I changed my mind when
- I learned that that technique was only invented much later, by the romans.
- the poodles would be trampled by the charging cavalry
