It has been a long I don't post anything here, guys! But now it's time to rise from the ashes, haha! I've been drawing and painting a lot the last two years, always looking for learning and trying to improve since I started my graduation in fine arts. Now I guess I have some reasonable work to show at least. So, I'm posting now these ones I've made in the last two years:

This one is from my first year at my personal researching about the most important and famous Robert E. Howard character: Conan, the barbarian. I've made him from a new and personal concept and desing - at least I tried, haha! Here you are, boys and girls:

It's not ok at all for me, but I like it in a very special way, first because it's almost the first drawing I made from memory, without any reference, what is a kind of victory; and then because for my big EGO he's a kind of selfie. No, not a selfie, indeed, haha! It's just a way I'd like to be! Really, really!

Ok, next one!

Just the face I gave for him. Isn't he a single and impressive beauty? I'm not modest and you guys know that! Lol. Yes.. And he's just telling this: "Yes, I am Conan. But you are not me, Fran! You'll never be!" oh... fff...

Ok, lets leave this bad guy back with all his beauty and blablabla... hnf!
 'cause the next one is my Maedhros Maitimo Nelyofinwë Russandol Fëanorian, one of the Tolkien's elves I love most. It's one I've made very lately, and still a kind of sketch that needs to improve a bit.

Just one more to end this post with some colors and because Fëanor would not forgive me for showing his most precious jewel...uops I meant... his son! and not him, the creator of all this beauty. So... this is oil pastels to present Fëanor, the spirit of fire ;) 

That's all for today, folks. Hope you enjoy. I'll be back soon. May you have a happy new year. See you. Bye. Fran

Há três meses sem qualquer post, está na hora de justificar minha ausência. Não, eu não parei de desenhar, apenas estou trabalhando num projeto que não me permite publicar muita coisa por enquanto. Assim, vou compartilhar apenas uma das ilustrações já prontas, que deverá fazer parte de uma HQ. Até o próximo post. Fran

Three months without any post, it's time to justify my absence. No, I have not stopped drawing, I'm just working on a project where I can not publish much for now. So, I'll share just one drawings of it, which should be part of a comics. see you on next post. Fran

Ok, algumas palavras se fazem necessárias agora, depois de alguns posts silenciosos...
Os desenhos que tenho publicado ultimamente são algumas amostras dos resultados de minhas experiências com técnicas de hiper-realismo inteiramente executados com grafite. Quero deixar claro que não costumo aplicar nenhum tipo de tratamento digital nos mesmos: todos são publicados exatamente no formato em que foram fotografados e qualquer diferença que possa ser observada em relação aos originais será resultante de iluminação ou quaisquer outros atributos da câmera com que foram fotografados.
Dito isto e esclarecidas as dúvidas (espero), me despeço: "tchau e gracias"

Ok, few words are necessary now, after some silent posts ...
The pictures that I've published are some samples of the results of my experiences with hyper-realism techniques, executed with graphite, entirely. Let me make clear that I do not usually apply any kind of digital processing on it: all are published exactly in the format which they were photographed and any difference that can be observed in relation to the originals is the result of lighting or any other attributes of the camera with which they were photographed .
That said, and clarified the doubts (hopefully), I will say goodbye: goodbye and thanks.
