Re-Blog

Hey! I just re-arranged my blog to give it a fresh look.

I added a poll on the left (for my 2-3 readers) so please vote what you'd prefer to see on this blog. If you want something not listed please write it in the comments here.

Also I finally understood what was wrong in the blog. First of all the model I choose on blogger layouts didn't allow to enlarge pictures, big problem. Then also each time I shared an Instagram picture via email it glitched the whole blog (sidebars and posts) cause the html in the email Instagram sends to share is poorly written and it lacks at the end of the code. Shame on you, Instagram!

To avoid a "just-text-kind-of-post" here's something for you:

Drive

...so I was watching Drive (GREAT movie) yesterday and I was in the mood for sketching and I had some spare time out of my schedule so I started doodling and I enjoyed it so much!

Back from France and Checklist update.

2011-08-30T12:26:00.003+02:00

Hey everyone! I'm back from my awesome trip to France (Bretagne, Normandy and Paris) and I'm all thrilled to start drawing again after these 2 weeks of "not-even-touched-a-pencil" (so I'm expecting a lot of rust in my first sketches).

Since my last entry I've worked on these books:

MARVEL ADVENTURES SPIDER-MAN #16

MARVEL ADVENTURES SPIDER-MAN #17 (pages 1-11)

MARVEL ADVENTURES SPIDER-MAN #18 (pages 12-20) (to be published end of sept)

Sorry for not having wrote anything about these books but I'm still struggling with self promotion problems.

Also HERE---> http://www.comicbookdb.com/creator_chron.php?ID=18484 you can find a chronological checklist of my previously published books in case you're interested and HERE---> http://www.comicbookresources.com/?page=preview_srch&by=creator&for=Matteo+Lolli there's a list (but with some mistakes) with previews pages.

2011-05-24T12:13:00.002+02:00

Ok, since my girlfriend threatened me of death if I don't start self promoting me and my work a bit, I'm going to advertise whenever a book I drew is going to be published or something like that.

So, tomorrow is going to on sale the latest book which I penciled... TADAAAAAAAANNN:

MARVEL ADVENTURES SPIDER-MAN #14

So if you happen to get a copy I'd love to hear if you liked it or not.

Halo Reach Propaganda Poster

2011-05-05T15:46:00.002+02:00

2 days ago I finally had some time to finish this game (Halo: Reach) and I really liked it soooo much even if it's so damn sad!!!!!! Also last month I was asked to make a piece for an art showcase (themed on sci-fi games) and so... 2 birds with a stone...

I'm very happy to have finally made a fan-art about a game I liked.

It's inspired by a russian propaganda poster but I wanted to use more vivid colors.

Updates soon!

2011-04-28T16:53:00.001+02:00

I beg your pardon for my lack of updates but I was very busy with spider-man issues. I'll be back soon!

Pulce angry

2010-10-24T22:59:00.003+02:00

My girlfriend is so angry she's gonna teach those underlings a lesson or two! The stronger she types the harder her anger will be felt!

W.i.p. --->. Finished

Here's the finished page. It still needs some touches. Headache's killing me.

I worked on this in June 2008.

Marvel Adventures: Iron Man #13 finished pages

2010-02-28T15:00:00.000+01:00

Here's a preview of the first 5 finished pages of the book MARVEL ADVENTURES: Iron Man #13.

I had the pleasure to work with my friends and co-workers Christian Cornia (inks), Christian Dalla Vecchia (inks) and Domenico Neziti (colors) on this book.

Sadly on the official Marvel website it's wrongly credited to someone else (as I got credited for issue 14 which I didn't draw).

2010-02-24T16:00:00.003+01:00

Let's start with MARVEL ADVENTURES: Iron Man #13.

My first book for Marvel.

I worked on this book quite some time ago (about April 2008). Looking at these pages now is quite embarrassing cause I see tons of mistakes. Anyway it could help to show some kind of "progress" compared to latest works. Or, at least, I hope so! :)

This is page 8.

Good News!

2010-02-24T15:00:00.002+01:00

Time for some news!

One of my biggest problem is that I think I don't advertise my work enough. Here or anywhere else.

I rarely show what I'm working on cause I'm shy and I don't want to sound like I'm bragging without the talent to back it up. Throw in some lazyness too and you got the picture of this desolated blog.

In a field where this can do the difference between being plain anonymous or being known as an artist, I feel it's time for some changes.

Thanks to a friend's suggestion I'll be able to update reguarly this blog using the "scheduled post" function, making this place a bit more interesting.

So starting from today I'll be uploading quite often many of the pages I've done for Marvel Comics (starting with the oldest) and hopefully, in between, some daily sketches I'm forcing myself (and failing miserably) to draw as a training routine.

Also, I'm thinking about changing the name/header/grafics of the blog but I still dunno how/when/what, but since you're here for artwork I guess that's secondary.

This wall of text is over.

Darkly Dreaming Dexter

Still no time, trying to post not-recent stuff. Here's and ode to my beloved tv series Dexter.

Layout

For sketches fetichists (like me) here's the layout of the page I'm working on. Spider-Man Marvel Adventures #1 page 10.

A try at digital painting
