Lapu-lapu Reprint and Fanart


Yumina is the the younger sister of Lapu-lapu and Arturo is one of the crew of Ferdinand Magellan



Lapu-lapu is a series in the 50's made by the Dean of the Philippine Comics. It is based on the story of Lapu-lapu the king of Mactan the first Filipino to win over the Spaniard conquerors.


LAPU-LAPU is one of the komiks novels that Francisco Coching, the Dean of Philippine Comics made. It was first published in the 1950's by Ace Publications Inc. It is based on the 1st Filipino hero of the island of Mactan. He is Lakan or the King of the island.

I really love the story and the artwork of this comics. You should read it too, I bought my copy at NBS Dagupan. One thing that i noticed is the language they used, most of the words that Mr. Coching used are words that are new to me, I mean words like "tigmak", "talaksan", "kampilan", "halaghag" etc. I enjoy learning though, you will eventually find out the meaning of those words as you go with the story. I made this fan art to show my respect to the masters of Philippine Komiks. I really hope that the reprints of the early comics by the masters will continue, I'd definitely get a copy and enjoy reading and learning.

Ballpen Sketches

Spiderman sketch Nightwing and Huntress Sketch Ichigo Sketch This one's my Original character "Shooter" I did most of these sketches at the office when we have high avail time(meaning, there are no calls on que). What I do is bring a piece of coupon bond, divide it into 4 equal parts and do the sketches. I draw anything under the sun, most of the time I do Fan arts of superheroes and animes. My original creation MLU was also done this way as well as the thumbnails for my Baboy original comics. Using ballpen as a sketching pen s not easy, specially if you're not used to it but once you got the hang of it, it's not as hard as it looks. So how does it go when you make a mistake? For me, you just have to continue skecthing, some minor errors can be remidied, but some mistakes need to be redone. Hope you like my sketches you can check my DA specially dedicated to ballpen sketches here .

‎100 ARAW NG KOMIKS (Day 20) KAGUBATAN (2004) Ito ang pangalawa kong entry para sa CCCom (Culture Crash Comic) 8 page comics feature. Nauna ang "Payt 4 Lab"(2003). Sayang at hinde napili ang comics ko pero oks lang, achievement pa rin sa 'kin dahil nakatapos ako ng isa ang 8 page short comics. Mabigat ang impluwensya sakin ng anime da ti, hnd ako masyadong exposed sa western comics kaya siguro. Nito na lang ako nakakapag-basa madalas ng mga western comics. Kaya ito ang naging kinalabasan ng artwork. 17 yrs old pa lang ako nung panahong ginawa kong Kagubatan, tungkol ito sa istorya ng isang prinsepeng inatasang magpunta sa kagubatan para sa isang misyon, Kung gusto nyong mabasa ang kabuuan ng komiks, abangan nyo na lamang sa susunod na komikon sa Nobiyembre, kung saan balak kong ilabas ang aking mga short komiks. Sa panahong ito ay ginagawa ko ang book 3 ng mukat komiks ko, kaya mas maayos ang art kumpara sa Payt 4 lab. Nakakatuwang balikan ang mga dati kong ginawang komik

Glasshousegraphics Comics creation Seminar

My dream jobs are to be an animator or a comicbook artist! Ever since I was just a kid, I'm always fascinated to superheroes and moving pictures. My dream is still burning in me that's why I always practice drawing as much as possible even though I'm already working. I'm most happy when I was able to work in the Big City (NCR), in my opinion, all the event and all of my dream jobs are here, meaning I'm closer... I've always known of the glasshousegraphics comics creation seminar, unfortunately I'm still in the province so I dont have the financial capability to go and join the seminar, but now that I'm working already, there's no way i would miss this seminar. The Seminar is a 2-day event at the CLSB in Taft Ave. Manila from Jan 30-31, 2010. I was able to meet there my good friend Randy Valiente and Jaime also an equally good artist. With me is my housemate Roel Barreto which is also a fine programmer. We were all excited to listen and take part of
