[Eliseu Gouveia]

Hello, world :) .

My name is Eliseu Gouveia and I´m a 32 years old ilustrator and comics artist.

When I´m not staring at my blank walls for inspiration, you can usually find me doing things like this.

I like the moonshine-reflections on the bricks...nice!

Now don't look at your walls and post some more :)

[Yaseck]

It's very sad.

[KayCustomz]

[Eliseu Gouveia]

Hey, Thank you all for your comments. :)

[d!o]

I like the texture of the coloured windows especially

[egerie]

it has a very strong sense of old illustration style.. like pinups, the 50's but with a twist of fantasy. I'm totaly suprised by this work ; it's like a blast from the past but .. oh I don't know.. just talking trough my hat and being moved :)

Hey man!
Very nice work! it have mood!
Are you brazilian?

[Eliseu Gouveia]

Thanks, guys! :)

d!o , I´m glad you noticed the colored window panels, I think they´re one of the main factors that conveys the whole fantasy elelment I was going for in this pic. :)

egerie, now that you mention, it really seems to have that old illustration feel. I guess my imaginary is still to attached to the Frazetta ilustrations I saw in my youth... :)

wilson jr , thanks; I´m actually a portuguese artist. :)

[wilson jr]

Ok Gouveia!

So, você consegue entender o português daqui do brasil !!!! ( you can understand the brazilian portuguese!)

[fell]

wilson, a lingua é praticamente a mesma meu filho, pode falar a vontade.


eliseu, maravilhoso trabalho! é bom ver um um portugues por aqui :)

abraços

[Eliseu Gouveia]

Thanks, Fell and Wilson JR. :) .

Yes, Brazilian and Portuguese is pretty much like US english and UK english, at the core they´re virtually the same language, give or take a couple thousand words and sintaxe changes. :)

I usually refrain from posting in portuguese because it may alienate the non-portuguese speaking people out there (all the three of them ;) ), but, hey, anything you can say, eu consigo perceber. :)

Unless you´re from the Sertão, of course......:D :D

How popular are comics in Portugal?

[Eliseu Gouveia]

Well, let´s put it this way; when I introduce myself to people, I call myself Children and Schoolbooks Illustrator.

My memory blocked out the last time I had the nerve to call myself a comicbook artist in public, but I´m pretty sure there was at least one attempt of hanging, chinese torture and a threat of excomunication involved.:rolleyes: :)

Portugal is pretty much dead when comes to art movements not directly connected to fine arts. Even fine arts are dead, for the simple fact that, artists are a bunch of useless hippies ( that's the idea of the popular collective), and the few ones that don’t agree with that, doesn’t have the knowledge or idea of what’s happening outside, believing that drawing is a way to take photos with pencils and photorealism is the ultimate skill achievement. If wasn’t the online communities, I would be one of then. That’s way I say this, it’s good to see a Portuguese artist AWAY of those primal ideologies, like Eliseu here.

[LC3]

Wow!! I guess I won't try marketing and comics in Portugal! Thanks for the info!

I know what you mean fell, the on-line community keeps me alive!!!

[Wietse]

God this is beautifull...

Reminds me of that old dude from Harry Potter, only female and a sexy redhead...

[Mjolnir]

Very good. The contrast of the warm red in the girl's hair and the overall coolness of the colors elswhere has a nice effect. It's vaguely reminiscent of the artwork done for fantasy novels, but nothing so trashy. :chug:
