Some (not so) little explanation are duties. I owe to those who follow the blog. I owe to those three or four (hello, Mom!) Who follow me as a designer. I owe to those who wrote me e-mail or call me asking what happened to. I owe to Camilla.

are full tour de force.
Why? Why are back on schedule for delivery of work. And because
are back on schedule for delivery of work? They are generally one that respects the deliveries. Most of the delay which I reported earlier today was 15 days.
In this period, however, we are talking about months.
Why? Why "Inferno" has proved a much more mangy than expected.
And again
why? For each table of this cartoon has been an unspeakable toast? (It is said "toast" something hard, but
really hard to chew, swallow and digest)
The answer is "Wings."
Urge explain. It is necessary to explain quickly explaining my method of work.
After reading the script of the table began to realize that I'm going to imagine the scene described in a single cartoon. I imagine the characters in motion. I imagine them while they perform actions or speak, leaving even recite their expressions. While "playing" freeze the scene at the point I like most. Then he began to turn around the scene, go up and down with my imaginary camera. I walk away and still I walk up to the shot that I find most beautiful or functional, depending on your needs. At that point the realization of one or two quick sketches of the cartoon. Then the sticker next step. I do not always in that order. Often I start from the sticker more important or representative of the board and then move to the other. Once you have made the sketches of all the cartoons of the table most of the work is done. Making then the pencils and ink sketches based on the work is fast and fun.
This method of work can seem quite convoluted and I honestly do not know if they use other authors, but now I can do it automatically and fairly quickly. Usually I can to create two tables in three days. A table in a day and a half. I'm not exactly the fastest cartoonist in the world but it seems to me an average acceptable.
Now we come to the point: this modus operandi does not work with hell.
not fun-na-uncle.
not work.
Why all the characters (except the protagonist) have wings. Bat wings and bird wings. It seems fucked up, right? Yet, it is. I could hardly believe it myself. Then I had to face the obvious.
Imagine having to draw a simple scene: two people arguing at a table facing one another. A series of shots and their reverse. Let them play. Freeze the scene. We turn everything around, above and below the scene. We zoom forward. Zoom out. We find our shot. Of course, in full respect of the script. We create the first sketch and now we are faced with a problem:
wings do not allow people to lean back in chairs. Ok, spostiamoli forward with his elbows on the table. It does not work as well if they were placed on the backrest, but patience, even if I turn the boxes because it is not just the shot I wanted. Let's make the sketch. This works? No, there's another problem: the character framed by three quarters from behind the wings has
covering the character that lies ahead. Shit! Ok, let's move one of the two and put it no more sitting opposite each other, but on two adjacent sides of the table. Let's make the sketch as I turn more and more boxes. Now working? apparently so ... Ah, no! Because the background there are a number of elements that have narrative function and that are covered by the wings
of one or both characters. Ok, we raise the point of view using a shot from above. Let's make the sketch as I'm very angry, seeing the beautiful shot that I had chosen at the beginning is definitely going to hell. Now we have an overhead view. Does it work? Yes, if it were not for the fact that the character's back will only see the wings
that duplicate the horizontal mass of each character and have a nasty thicket compositionally. Ok, we cut the scene a bit 'higher up so that the wings
go out of the cartoon. Let's make the sketch cursing in Aramaic. Now working? Yes, now it works. My shot is finally gone but now the picture works.
Now, imagine all this mess for 4-6 cartoons at the table.
And this was a simple table. There are boards that are also required 10-15 sketches for cartoon. I am traveling at an average of a panel of three (!!!) days when I used 7 (sette!!) 500-sheet reams of paper for the sketches.
Not to mention particular scenes where even the characters are lying on a bed or leaning back in a balustrade or a bar counter.
why are so disgustingly late: the human body is not meant to have wings.
POSTSCRIPT that has nothing to do. I should stop drawing up written the screenplays women: so far I had to draw the male sexual organs
in quantity and not even a naked woman. My sad fate.
I'm going I have to draw a couple of cocks. Oh well, at least not have wings.
Sob!
For the color table and ultimately will have to wait a few months, since for now I am going ahead with pencils and inks.
