Silversparrow Returns

[Eliseu Gouveia]

Hi, guys,
some of you may remember this old comic I did way back in 2003 called Silversparrow.
A couple months ago I took it down from my site because looking back, well, the art looked really rushed (especially the background work).
Well, I´ve managed to get some time on my hands and decided to give those old pages a tweak, let me know what you think :)

Hope you like them :)

[midknight]

beautiful work

[Rotin]

This is some beautiful work man, really fluid,...

Spelling error on the last page though....easier/wasier :)

[Paul Sanderson]

Beautiful work, as always Eliseu, but haven't we seen it on the board here before? Looks familiar to me.

[Eliseu Gouveia]

Heya there, guys, thanks for your comments :)

midknight - Thanks :)

Rotin - Gracias for spotting that one, I´ve just corrected it :)

Paul Sanderson - Hey there, stranger, long time no see ;) Yeah, these are from my 2003 comic, I am revamping it, giving the pages a tweak or two.. you know the drill, looking under the hood, changing the oil.... You can compare them with the previous version on the links of the first post :)

[Paul Sanderson]

2003 or 1993? You said 93 in your first post, which is what confused me, cos I certainly didn't see these pages way back then :D

[Eliseu Gouveia]

Ooops!

Sorry about that, my bad.
It´s a 2003 story, I´ll correct the 1st post right away :)

[Paul Sanderson]

No worries. Didn't think it was that old :D

[Eliseu Gouveia]

Time to kick the engines up a notch :)

[jl1]

OH HELL YEAH! Work it Zeu!

JL

PS: I liked the older look on the grandmother looking lady. So there's that.

[Roel_Torres]

I would consider re-doing the lettering in a different font. The current one is distracting and not up to the level of the art.

[Eliseu Gouveia]

Heya, JL, LTNS :)

Yeah, I had to rejuvenate Aunt Jackie, upon reading the story again, for consistency´s sake.

Roel, you are SO right.
Folks always complain about my lettering and I´m the first to agree that it sucks.
That goes into things to do in my next life.... :D

http://www.etherlair.com/gallery/publications////FOLDER_407de0e0a3940/images/IMAGE_437d554c35f94.jpg

Someoné´s been abusy.... (I know someone who´s gonna kill me if he sees what I´ve been up to instead of finishing a certain cover.... :D)

[GRAFFILTHY]

That's some cool artwork. Very exciting.

[samy]

Zeu excellent concept. I hope that Infiniteens does well enough that someday we might see Silversparrow. (Although I'd be VERY grateful if it were Silver Sparrow instead -- much less clumsy IMO...)

[jl1]

Is that a new pages in the Sparrow saga? I'm not sure I remember it from the first time around. Either way it's pretty cool. A little dark color wise, but pretty cool. :kewl:

[Eliseu Gouveia]

GRAFFILTHY -Thanks, man :)

samy -Thanks, Samy. You know, lots of folks have been telling me for a while now that it should be Silver Sparrow instead of Silversparrow. To tell the truth, I can´t tell the difference (I prefer Infiniteens to Infini Teens since it plays with the word Infinity*). It´s probably one of those nuances you only get when english is your first langiuage.

jl1 - Aloha, JL. Yup, brand new page, you´ve got a good eye. The initial Soaring chapter had only 14 pages, in contrast with Broken Wing´s 22 and Skygirl´s 12, so I´m doing patches here and there to bring some consistency to it all (plus rejuvenating the old hag, adding more background to the superhero world, Major Evil and lil´Jessie girl).


* The true tragedy of this page is that when the PsiGirls on pannels #3 start naming the inbound reserves, I had one of them be a team called Eterniteens :har: . A quick google search revealed that that name had already been taken.
Same goes for Decibelle, Starvox, Wintermare, Gamma Girl and Warfly.
Damn!

[nams]

Very cool as Allways! You are planning on publisching these pages?

I ordered Infiniteens But I was just wandering if there is going to be a TPB version of the book?

Be cool! :cool:

[Eliseu Gouveia]

Heya, Nams, LTNS, where have you been? (Aveiro, duh! ) :sure:

Nope, no plans for publishing these, it´s just me venting off after a day´s work (I draw comics to relax after a day drawing comics.... God, I´m hopeless.....)


About the TPB thing, I have to confess I have no idea.

[samy]

You know, lots of folks have been telling me for a while now that it should be Silver Sparrow instead of Silversparrow. To tell the truth, I can´t tell the difference (I prefer Infiniteens to Infini Teens since it plays with the word Infinity*).

I think Infiniteens works as it is. The reason for it is that it is actually merging the two words. It's not "Infinity Teens", it is actually merging the words by a few letters, which is why it works together. If Silversparrow was "Silverrow", that'd work together too (although it'd sound incomprehensible). But if you have the two words whole, intact -- then put a space between them. "Infinity Teens" or "Infiniteens". "Silver Sparrow" or "Silverparrow". But not "Infinityteens" or "Silversparrow" or "Infini Teens" or "Silver Parrow".

At least that's how it sounds to my ear. :)

[Mister Wizard]

This is beautiful stuff, man. Beautiful.

If you ever need a writer, please let me know. I can't draw to save my my own sphincter, but I've been known to put together some butt puckering good superhero stories in my time.

Props. :thumbs:

[mikeexner3]

Man... this is the kind of stuff you do in your spare time!? If you ever have any more spare time, you can do a Night Star story for me, E. :laugh:

Seriously, these pages are as beautiful as all of your other work. My only complaint is that your sound effect should be KRA-KA-THOOM instead of KRA-KA-THOM. C'mon, man. Get it together! :har:

[nams]

Heya, Nams, LTNS, where have you been? (Aveiro, duh! ) :sure:

Nope, no plans for publishing these, it´s just me venting off after a day´s work (I draw comics to relax after a day drawing comics.... God, I´m hopeless.....)


About the TPB thing, I have to confess I have no idea.

I've been around DH as allways Looking for fine Drawings and Cool Sequentials!

It is amazing your comitment to Comics... Where do you find the Will Power to work on Comics after your done wiht a days work in comics? That is just Amazing! No Wonder you are getting Better by the second!

Keep up the Good Work! And Post more of your Drawings!!!

Be Cool! :cool:

ps:Sorry about the Bad Grammar... I'm really rusty in the English Depertmant

It looks like her body is too big for her head slightly. hmmm... besides that t al looks quite good and pro like.

[OZ!]

Looks awesome. Nice to see from you again.

[Eliseu Gouveia]

samy - Thanks, Samy, I guess you do have a point :)

Mister Wizard - Thanks, Mister Wizard, I do collaborate with writers all the time and they´re usually quite nice people to work with.

mikeexner3 - Thanks, Mike, yeah, Silversparrow is how I let it rip at the end of the day. Not this week, though. This week, my niece had the brilliant idea of bringing home...... a rubik cube. Needless to say watching DVDs in my spare time or drawing Jessie gal here suddenly had to take a backseat until I figured out that %$&% thingie.

nams - Obrigado, meu, isto da BD um gajo só se mete mesmo por carolice. :p

ariel - Hey, Ariel, thanks for the heads up on that head thing, you have a good eye.
Can I ask you a favour, though?
Re-posting pages I´ve uploaded kinda breaks the pacing; in the future, just pointing out the number of the page or a general description of it is enough for me :)

OZ! - Thanks, OZ!

Well, it´s been an unbelievable week where pretty much everything happened, but fortunatelly, I managed to find the time to cook out one more page, hope you like it :)

http://www.etherlair.com/gallery/publications////FOLDER_407de0e0a3940/images/IMAGE_4387c0150f0e1.jpg

[Eliseu Gouveia]

Four consecutive pages without drawing Jessie.... I´m starting to feel the withdrawal effects settling in... :blink:

http://www.etherlair.com/gallery/publications/////FOLDER_407de0e0a3940/images/IMAGE_438b8f162cab8.jpg

[Eliseu Gouveia]

Go get them Jessie :)

[jl1]

This is all new stuff, right? GREAT LOOKING WORK, Z! It's a shame I never wrote you any action sequences. My bad. Maybe later. :D

ANYWAY, this stuff is hot! Keep up the great work.

JL

[Eliseu Gouveia]

Yup, brand new stuff... except pannel 2 which is a collage of a couple pannels from the initial version.
Next time, be sure to put in loads of action in them scripts, now you know my apetite for adrenaline ;) :banana:

[Paul Sanderson]

Brilliant as always, Eliseu.

[SEAN-Z]

Beautiful work, E...just beautiful.
Keep up the excellence, my friend...my only crit would be the lettering work...it doesn't quite fit...maybe it needs to be slightly bolder?
Just a thought.
:kewl:

[compton]

keep going Zue this is almost as far as I got last time then you left us with a cliff hanger :p

[thecarrierone]

the only thing keeping me from loving these pages is the fact that all of your highlights are soooo white and there are very few chromatic highlights and shadows....
my 2 cents

[Eliseu Gouveia]

Hi, guys,

thanks a bunch for you repplies :)


Paul Sanderson - Thanks, man :)


SEAN-Z - Hi, Sean, thanks. Yeah,the lettering is starting to turn into a real pain.

compton - Heya,Compton, thanks. Actually, last time I did the whole 3 chapters of Silversparrow, beginning, middle and end. :)

thecarrierone - Thanks, thecarrierone, you make a pertinent point, I definitelly need to tinker them highlights a bit.

dude..... and im saying this with the utmost respect.... what is going on with those shadows on her face?

[Eliseu Gouveia]

Hi, thecarrierone, :)

Bad idea, eh?
Yeah, it looks a bit weird, it´s one of those things where an idea works well in B&W, but when it comes to actually coloring it, somebody call Rembrant :D

[Eliseu Gouveia]

Boom. :)

[mikeexner3]

These are really pretty pages, and the story is pretty darn good too. She's like Flash in the Marvel Universe. The Speed Force won't work! :har:

Looking forward to more of this. One of my favorite threads.

[Steve Robinson]

like always eli nice work man why you not working for marvel? the style you have should be doing Ultimates Secret man your style is perfect for that story :kewl: ;)

[dryponder]

Great stuff, Zeu! I love the clean lines you have, especially in black and white.

(Btw, we have a mutual friend in Florida!)

[Steve Robinson]

humm... any more updates here? :huh: :huh: :huh:

[OZ!]

Jesus, your art worl is beautiful. How is it you don't do biiger stuff? Unbelievable work.

[Eliseu Gouveia]

Heya, guys,

Guess who´s back from a sweet, short leisurely days ? :)


Mikeexner3 -Heya, Mike, thanks :). You are SO right about the Speed Force analogy :)

Steve Robinson - Heya, Steve, thanks. Ultimate Secret would be sweet... well, any title fromt eh big three would be sweet, really.

dryponder - Hi, dryponder. A mutual friend in Florida? Coolness, i think I know who he is. ;)

OZ! - Thanks, OZ!, I acrtually don´t mind in which league I play, as long as they pay me enough to buy my socks and I get to do what I like: draw. :)

[Eliseu Gouveia]

Well, in all fairness, she was a bit shellshocked, it´s not everyday your universe is destroyed and you wake up on a new one. :p

[mikeexner3]

Well, in all fairness, she was a bit shellshocked, it´s not everyday your universe is destroyed and you wake up on a new one. :p

Are you kidding? That happens to me all the time! Love the new page, Eli. You can really sense the desperation of the character, and the writing fits too. Nice job.

[Eliseu Gouveia]

LOL
You know, you´re right. The same exact thing happened to me last week and I wasn´t making the fuss our litle bird here is making. :har:

[Baron Spider]

it's spectacular work! :kewl:

[Eliseu Gouveia]

Morts - Well, I post in a heluva lot of places :)

Compton - Okay, okay :)

YAY!!! :D

BTW her pose in the last pannel 3 pages ago,with her face on the floor, is a little awkward

[Phatman]

Eliseu:

More solid pages. Again, I think things are still getting better as you go. There aren't a lot of artists around who can do really good black and white work like you are. Keep crankin'.

P.S.: I saw they closed you down at PJ. That's one more reason to stay here.

[Agentfire]

I really like your work, I tried to order your book. But for some reason my shop didn't get it. Is it still for sale somewhere?

[Eliseu Gouveia]

Thanks a lot for your repplies, guys.
Well, after a couple days to get the house in order, I´m back with more Jessie goodness.

http://www.etherlair.com/gallery/publications////FOLDER_407de0e0a3940/images/IMAGE_43e1334ce98d8.jpg

Compton - Thanks, dude. Yeah,t hat pose is really strange. It was weird back when I first came up with it and it looks worse the more I look at it.

Phatman - Thanks, Phatman. :)

Agentfire - Thanks Agentfire, what book were you looking for, Genie or Vengeance fo the Mummy?

[Batista235]

Hey Man,

Any ideas on that other thing?

G.

Oh yeah, and BUMP!

[Eliseu Gouveia]

Aloha, Para,
thanks, dude :)

No idea yet, Jessie has hogged all my creativity, I really gotta finish this last chapter fast so I can go back to focusing on other more pressing matters, I´m delayed in so many things there´s probably a row of folks with blunt objects outside my door right about now.

[metr0man]

I don't know if its just the lack of colors or what, but your newer pages look a lot sharper, darker, more realistic. Might jsut be the subject matter (cosmic fight and all that). Good stuff.

[Eliseu Gouveia]

Hey, MetrOman, thanks, I think that´s probably because I started working more on the grayscales to convey volumes and forms, initially I didn´t focus as much on post.

Eliseu is in here too, cant wait to see what will happen next, I really feel this story a lot, which does not make any sense cuz dont even feel the drawing style it looks cold and pro , well of course good and everything but should not make me feel sentimental in anyway but yet it does

Egets!!!
you´re here too?
Who let you in? :har:

J/K

Really glad to be the first to welcome you to the Digital Webbing, hope you stick around to show us your works,lots of wonderfull people hang around here.
Between artists, writers, certified loons and your occasional ax-murderer, there´s a really very.... peculiar bunch in here.
Just stay away from the normal people, we have those in here too (unfortunatelly :p ), but you can do like the rest of us and just pretend they´re invisible :D

I´m happy too that you´ve grown attached to lil Jessie gal, thank you for following her adventures.

Aloha, Para,
thanks, dude :)

No idea yet, Jessie has hogged all my creativity, I really gotta finish this last chapter fast so I can go back to focusing on other more pressing matters, I´m delayed in so many things there´s probably a row of folks with blunt objects outside my door right about now.



Thats cool man. Whenever is good for you.

I've no doubt you can make it pop. In fact, I'm counting on it.

No pressure ;)

[Eliseu Gouveia]

Thanks, dude. :)

I really gotta finish this fast, I love Jessie but she´s starting to mess up my schedule really badly.

How can she be mad.

You must be the fastest of fast workers ever!

[Eliseu Gouveia]

LOL

Thanks, Para, I don´t think I´m that fast.

I´m just very confortable with Photoshop :har:

[Eliseu Gouveia]

Thanks, Para.
I´m pumping out 2 pages a day right now, one of them being these ones you see here :)

Thank you too for your post (and your cool coloring too!!), Egets, I´m glad you´re starting to feel at home at DW.
I didn´t know you were so sentimental about Jessie, though.
Something tells me you and her would get along just fine if you met in real life :)

[Kody]

smiles! It's so rare to see comic characters smiling. :D

Good stuff.

[Grant Perkins]

Hey Ellie.

If you haven't already started on that other thing, give it a miss. I've decided to re-do the pencils.

Would you still be interested with helping out in terms of ink and colour if I came with a tighter image?

G.


Oh yeah, and the reason this is here and not in a PM is that I can't say "BUMP" from there ;)

[Eliseu Gouveia]

Heya, Kody, thanks a lot. :)

Aloha, Para, thanks for the heads up.
Inking and coloring the new piece?
I really don´t know, man, the next couple weeks are gonna be unbelievably hectic for me, I have two and a half books way behind, thanks of our lil Jessie here.

[Grant Perkins]

No problem Man.

Thank you for the interest and help so far.

Keep up the awesome work!

[Thundergut]

How do you thank an artist, whose work influences and inspires you? I've collected every page of Silversparrow, and I eagerly await more. The fact that this creator generously posts it all for free on the Web, just blows my mind. Which is why I'm also scouring the Web, for any other work he's done.

Many people here have commented about Zeu's speed and skill. For me, that's just icing on the cake. The story's what drives every comic; the art,however fantastic- and this is- is just a tool to drive the story. This particular story has me riveted, like no comic has in a long while. I can't wait to find out what happens next to sweet, no longer so innocent, Jessie.

I don't want to gush on. I just wanted Zeu to know that there's one fan out there, who's very appreciative of his work.

[Agentfire]

Agentfire[/B] - Thanks Agentfire, what book were you looking for, Genie or Vengeance fo the Mummy?

I'm not sure...I saw the book in previews. I can't remember what the name was right now. But if I keep seeing it, I keep trying to order.

[mistermaxx]

Eliseu...first of all, how do you pronounce your first name?

Second of all...absolutely beautiful stuff.

Thirdly...why the heck hasn't Marvel or DC snapped you up yet?

[Agentfire]

It was Infiniteens.... It's on your site. Infiniteens! Ha! But that is what I keep trying to order but never manage to get.

[Thundergut]

Whens he coming back? :cry:



*pacing the floor*

[Frogsaki]

Zeu,

I just went through this whole thread and all I have to say is I have just became a HUGE fan of your work. I can't wait to see more. I Like how the story went from color to b&w. I think it worked well with the feel of the story.

I'll definitely keep looking for your work!


Joe

[Eliseu Gouveia]

Hi, guys,

thank you for your posts and your comments, I really appreciate them.

paradox - Thanks, Para :)

Thundergut -I thank you for your post and your kind words, Thundergut, folks do comment the art but not many really take the time to read the story so I can´t tell you how happy I am to find someone who does.

AgentFire - Thanks, AgentFire. Unfortunatelly, Infiniteens is presently on hold as I haven´t received word from FC9 in almost a year now. :(

MisterMaxx -thank you, MisterMaxx. Out here, Zeu is pronounced "Zeh-oo" :)
I´m glad you´ve liked my stuff. As for Marvel and DC, in all honesty, that´s a dream I stopped feeding five thousand submission packages ago.

Frogsaki - Thanks, Joe, me and my Muse are honored to have you onboard and I really hope you continue enjoying my work.

I´m really sorry for being away for so long.
My mother had to undergo a delicate surgery recently and the whole affair drained more of my mental resources than expected which is why I am only now revisiting our lil´Jessie gal.

Thirdly...why the heck hasn't Marvel or DC snapped you up yet?

Cause Marvel/DC are stupid, that's why.

I really think independant creators need to just come together and publish their own stuff. Waiting for the big boys to notice great talent is a waste of time IMO. I've seen so many talented guys just give up drawing and everything because they kept getting rejection letters. Its a bloody shame.

Awesome work Eliseu, simply awesome. I like the classic feel of it all. :thumbs:

[nams]

Eliseu, espero que tudo tenha corrido bem com a operação da tua mãe! Desejo-lhe as mais rápidas melhoras!

E é bom saber que já voltaste aos desenhos!


Awesome Page great drawings, cool colors. It's Good to have you back!
Keep posting.

Be Cool! :cool:

[midknight]

hope your mom's doing well

and great new page :banana:

[Thundergut]

I'm guessing that Yellow-Cape Girl is going to turn out to be Jessie's older sister. I can tell by the rack. See page 2. :)

Like I said, I'm a big fan. :)

[Thundergut]

Zeu, I hope your family's okay. :(

[Eliseu Gouveia]

Thank you for all your repplies and the get well wishes, guys, you´re really the best :)

Regarding Wildwind, the yellow-caped girl... nope, she´s not Jessie´s big sister Jenny, this one you´ll have to figure out :)

[thecarrierone]

i really like the black and white panel amongst the color... it really creates a sense of fear

[Eliseu Gouveia]

Thanks, thecarrierone, that bit came to me at the last second with Belphegor negating that hero the Wind for a split second as a cautionary warning.

[Thundergut]

Hehehe... I love the children with the fireman. So cute! :)

[Martin Redmond]

Those are all pretty cool!

[Eliseu Gouveia]

Thanks, Thundergut. :)

Thanks, Martin :)

http://www.etherlair.com/gallery/publications////FOLDER_407de0e0a3940/images/IMAGE_444d454ed98fa.jpg

The End.

Thank you for a wild ride, folks :)

[Steve Robinson]

ah! yeah i was wondering what ever happen to this lol :cool:

[Thundergut]

The End.

Thank you for a wild ride, folks :)


THE END? What do you mean, the end? You mean... THE END?!?!? *starting to hyperventilate* NoooOOoooOoOOoO! :(

[nams]

No... Thank you for the great story and art!

Agora uma sugestão: Porque naõ editas esta história na SketchBook, aqui em Portugal? Já deste a história de graça para o mundo ver na Internet, e eu bem que queria ter estas paginas de BD em Papel! :har:

Man Can't whait for your next on-line comic :whistlin:

Be Cool! :cool:

[Eliseu Gouveia]

Thanks, Steve :)

Sorry, Thundergut. It was really fun working on this comic but all things come to an end....

Obrigado, Nams.
Getting Silversparrow in print? That costs money.
You do know that artists and money don´t exactly mix, right? ;)

[thecarrierone]

i dont see why image or anyother publisher wouldnt jump on the chance to print this
how many pages was it?

[Martin Redmond]

I think image won't charge you anything.

[Eliseu Gouveia]

Well, no publisher in his/her right mind would touch a comic that already had all of its pages posted online.

[secondrater]

bump

dude this rocks!!

[Thundergut]

Thanks Zeu, for sharing your talent. I look forward to collecting your online work in the future.

[Vyper]

Well, no publisher in his/her right mind would touch a comic that already had all of its pages posted online.
Not necessarily, Zeu. Throw in a couple of extra pages, add behind-the-scenes stuff, etc, and redo some of the coloring - and voila! publishers want you

[Eliseu Gouveia]

Thanks, Secondrater :)

Thank you as well, Thundergut. :)

And thank you for trying, Vyper, but I really have my doubts. :)

[Eliseu Gouveia]

Sorry to ressurrect this thread back from the dead :)

I finally got to sit down and give Jessie a proper cover.
Hope you like it :)

[mikeexner3]

I don't like it at all...

I love it!

Nice job, Eliseu. This was a joy to read, and was one of my favorite threads to visit for a really long time. Just for attempting it, you rock beyond all comprehension of the word.

[Eliseu Gouveia]

Thanks, Mike! :)

The pleasure was all mine :).

[hellblazer72]

i like the pages and cover alot...the style has a adam hughes feel but with out being adam hughes...very open and expressive panels...

[Eliseu Gouveia]

Thanks, Hellblazer :)

[Caio Reis]

Beaultiful piece, eliseu! I love the coloring, specially her skin tone! Wish I could do that, man! :thumbs:

[Eliseu Gouveia]

Obrigado, Caio. :)

[Jason Berek-Lewis]

Hey Zeu, Nice to see you here too. I absolutely love that cover ... it captures Jessie's exuberance and warmth - great stuff.

Good luck with Infiniteens!

[Eliseu Gouveia]

Hi, Jason,

Really cool to find you here as well, this sure is one small e-world :)

Thanks, I hope my kids make it :)
