Torpedo 1916-1926

Hello Pulp Friends,

I am so happy the guys at Comic Twart are chosing pulp heroes as topic for the weekly jams. That allows me to tackle some of my fav characters, like Abuli & Bernet's TORPEDO for example :)

Above you see my entry for the jam: a very young Luca Torelli in a little scene I titled "My First Fedora" :)

This one of the nr.2 of the 3 ideas I had for the jam, and below you can see the nr.3 which I will eventually develop in a more finished illo (when I get chance). The first idea is also looking for a abit of time so I can sit down and inkwash it ;)
Hope you guys dig it :)

Cheers,
Francesco

9 Lombrose St. - Day 4 ~~ "Big Boy" ~~

Hello Pulp Friends!

I'm really happy to see how everyone is loving this gallery of Dick Tracy villains. It makes me want to do a Shadow villains gallery next :) Thank you so much, my friends.

Today's villain is the boss himself, Big Boy. I tried to stick closer to the strip design more than the Pacino makeup (generally speaking, I am trying to stick to the strip with all of 'em), even if I thought that makeup and that performance in Beatty's movie were one of the greatest from Pacino.

Cheers,
Francesco
