Serguei Litvak from Blacksad

Description

OK, so Alma Roja came out in Spain just yesterday and I already did a quick fan art of it. Litvak has quite a cool design, I love how Guarnido managed to humanize him so much, he really looks like an old Russian painter (more in the comic than in my picture, of course), although if I had been him I would have made that body a lot thinner, to make him look less healthy. Anyway, he's quite an amazing character, plus, he fought in the International Brigades, which makes him cooler, although I prefer the North American brigadists, who eventually risked quite more considering the US' goverment traditional convervationist position. Well, it's not like Litvak is a saint anyway, considering the secrets he keeps, which of course I won't reveal not to spoil the story.

Anyway, it didn't turn out bad. Ever since I read Blacksad, I have the vice of drawing antropomorphic characters, it is easier for me to associate different personalities to the jungian archetypes of the animals, so in the end I tend to draw them more expressive that way, and it also helps me to do them more varied. At least with male characters.

Oh, yes, he's smoking, and I know he dosen't lit up one cigarrette during the comic (must be the only character that doesn't). My characters always end up smoking, I guess it's the film noir influences. Or that I take my vices to my pictures.
