OSMINKI

2011-11-16T02:02:00.001-08:00

A weekly comic strip that I've been doing for the last 8 years. Incidentally this particular strip I used to impress a girl. I'm married to her now. And have a baby girl named after the girl in this strip-Luna. :)

King Kull

2011-11-10T06:19:00.000-08:00

"By this axe I rule." and believe it or not he does just that-RULES. The most underestimated of all the Howard's characters. Add a shitty movie with Kevin Sorbo (Hercules TV series) in the tray and you wind up in the fan-dumpster. Ladies and gents, it is my pleasure to give you the Tiger of Atlantis, King Kull.

Avengers' Villains

2011-04-26T05:31:00.000-07:00

Had fun doing these. Enjoy. :)

Spidey villains

2011-04-13T06:48:00.000-07:00

Started out as practice and ended as something I actually like. :)

A.N.T-Droids part 01

2011-03-23T07:30:00.000-07:00

A.N.T- Drone

The original versions of the A.N.T.-Droids . Their primary function is to develop and/or upgrade new versions of the members of the hive. They upload the new data (schematic, assembly instructions etc) into the Queen unit, that produces the necessary A.N.T-Droids

A.N.T.-Droid-Worker

Meet the worker A.N.T-Droid (Artificial Non-organic Task-Droid)
Equipped with a ultra-sonic drill (left arm), a welding tool (right arm) and a back container. Ideal for excavating resources from inhospitable places as well as the perfect solution for deep space repairs.

Round 1: FIGHT!

2011-03-18T06:44:00.000-07:00

Delgado: The Sidekick

2011-03-17T06:18:00.000-07:00

The sidekick of Pachanga, a drunken ex-sailor, that washed upon the shore of the new continent, started wondering and got extremely lost while doing it. A natural jinx that always comes "on top" of any situation. His quest is a simple one. Get drunk and stay alive. But get drunk would be soooooooooo much better. :)

Angels No.2

2011-02-23T01:49:00.000-08:00

Savage Dragon

2010-12-15T06:17:00.000-08:00

One of my favorite comic heroes. Don't like the comic book much but I love the potential of this particular character. Hope you'll like it ;)

Super Hero Concepts

2010-11-24T12:58:00.001-08:00

Some concepts of a superhero for an ex-client. Didn't call so I guess they didn't like them. Oh well live and learn. Liked working on the blue yellow one though. :)

Angels No.1

2010-10-04T02:48:00.001-07:00

Angels is a comic book I did about 12 years ago. A month and a half ago I figured I could publish it and give it away for free to all comic geeks from Macedonia (since there are quite few left) but during the editing I noticed that the story was confusing and the art was...well...12 years old (another way to say it sucked). So I redid it just for the fun of it. And voila Angels No.1. Enjoy. :)

Conan

2010-09-28T06:38:00.000-07:00

Practise 04

2010-08-20T04:04:00.001-07:00

Practice makes perfect. :)

Robot design #02

2010-08-20T03:58:00.001-07:00

I've always been interested in hybrid designs of tech. Loved the Insecticons from the Transformers. So this one started off with a stylized bee head and ended up like this. Hope you like.

Robo Design #01

2010-08-18T06:06:00.000-07:00

At first I drew the head. By accident it came out great. Thought to make it a helmet for a suit of a sf-infantry trooper, but then it came out a robot. Quite satisfied the way this robo turned out. :)

Rhesus Study #01

2010-08-18T03:27:00.001-07:00

Beta Titans Villain: Rhesus

2010-08-17T07:19:00.001-07:00

As the name suggests (as well as the face does) the guy is a monkey-man. Trained by the military to infiltrate, sabotage and/or eliminate the target that he's been given. Favorite weapon: Batons. The lap dog of the leader of the villains, Dragon. All Rights Reserved by the author.

Challenge #02: Star Wars

2010-08-16T04:41:00.000-07:00

Chalenge #01: LOTR

2010-08-16T04:36:00.001-07:00

Earlier this month we issued a challenge for the members that are artists to do a comic illustration of the Lord of The Rings Trilogy. This is my answer to the challenge. Hope you like it. :)

Beta Titans Villains: Dementia

2010-08-16T01:27:00.001-07:00

Dementia is a genetic whose power consists of manipulating (through telepathy) the centre of fear in the brain of her opponent (or any man and woman for that matter). This manipulation leads to manifestation of the nightmares to the person affected.

While straneous to her, it's possible for her to cause heart failiure due to adrenaline flow in the body caused by the fear, or cause a rapture of a blood vessel in the brain of her opponent.

Beta Titans Villains: Project Perun

2010-08-13T05:40:00.000-07:00

Old Shaman: A Do-Over

2010-08-09T02:55:00.000-07:00

Back in 2004 I drew this illustration and when finished I thought to myself: This is the best work I'll ever do!
Six years have past and a challenge on the forum Makstrip was presented. A Do-Over. I looked up my old illustrations and came upon this one. So I stepped up to the plate.
Seems I can do much much better. ;)

Ancients: Lancer

2010-08-05T06:21:00.001-07:00

I first drew a version of this creature back in 2001. Few days ago I was digging through some old sketches and came across this guy. Did a number on him right away. Hope I did him justice. :)

Pachanga

2010-05-12T06:24:00.001-07:00

A character that started as a early morning sketch by Lasko Dzurovski and ended up as a pet project of MAKSTRIPOVI Here he is, boys and girls, Pachanga. The names so nice you'd wanna say it twice. Pachanga :D

Here's the main villain Jack Bones aka The Undertaker.

X-Men: Redesigned

2010-04-20T06:07:00.000-07:00

This was made about a month ago in pencils. Finally found the time to color it.

I redesigned Cyclops and renamed him Beholder (the iris through a command on his gauntlet can close to a certain level and par of his optic blast is released through the pipes on the shoulder armor, the gauntlets and the X-Men insignia on his chest, giving him multiple "eyes of destruction" hence the name BEHOLDER)

Next The White Queen (not so white any more is she so I renamed here into simply The Queen)- the patch on her neck and the back is a portable cerebro unit. And last but not least...

Shade (aka Nightcrawler)-his final state of mutation.

The rest of the line-up (for those that don't know)from left to right: Cable, Hope and Wolverine (can't have the x-men without him now can we).

Hope you like it. :)

Alien design01

2010-04-01T05:36:00.001-07:00

Never was much of a fan of alien-flicks. but that doesn't mean that I don't occasionally enjoy designing them.

Sindrom No.1-Cover

2010-03-08T05:23:00.000-08:00

Sindrom is a project my friend Davor Dramikjanin began. Basically it's a new promotional comic book-magazine for Macedonian young artists. 'Nough said.

The coloring was done by Zoran Cvetkovic a good friend and a kick-ass matte painter.

The cover features the Beta Titans (see previous posts): The Vedge (foreground), Veda (the chick) and Golem (background)

Match Made in...Arkham

2010-02-15T07:00:00.000-08:00

Baron Zemo: Redesigned

2010-01-15T07:07:00.001-08:00

I always loved the original costume design of this supervillain. In fact I loved it so much I redesigned it. I appologize to everybody that finds the nazi svastika on his chestplate offensive. but since this character was originaly a nazi in WWII it went with the territory. Hope you like it. :)

Three days ago, on the web, came across some action figures by a cool artist named Sillof so I had to draw them. Turns out DC had a whole bunch of comics with similar characters named "Elseworlds" that started with "Gotham by Gaslight" (pencils:Michael Mignola script:Brian Augustyn) . Who knew? :D

This was supposed to be the original version of our wedding invitation, but friends of mine (Zoran Cvetkovic & Elena Nikoloska-Cvetkovic) offered to do another one.

As you might have guessed, we went for their version. Even though I drew the characters, the colors, design and the ambient make the old version look like crap (pardon my french). And I finally realised...I suck at painting. :( :D

School of Heroes

2007-12-01T05:36:00.000-08:00

These are few of the characters for a comic I offered to a publishing company not long ago. It is set in a fantasy world where children from various dimensions learn the basics of being a hero.

The plot: A kid from our dimension named Borjan (which means something like "fighter" in my language) was locked in his locker by some school bullies where a portal was opened that led him to the dimension where the school of heroes is. There he joined a class of hero wannabes that have few problems with their hero hood so they are treated as outcasts among the students. He soon befriends four other members from his class. They are soon given quests that they solve together as a team.

The characters:

Borjan: The kid from our dimension. Like every student he is given a unique artifact. His artifact are his gauntlets (or gloves if you prefer it :)). They give him unnatural strenght and agility. But "the matter of heroes are not mere trinkets" and thats the lesson he will soon learn.

Narcisa: This little lady is considered by many the most beautiful girl in the school, but there is just one problem. She is tinier than a flower. That's why she is always ridiculed by the other kids. She possess the necklace of growth and she frequently uses it to escape the frequent remarks about her size. She will soon learn that "size matters not in the eyes of those you help"

Maya: The shy elvish princess possesses the wand of the Griffin hair but has trouble controlling it. She is always laughed at for her failed attempts of using it and is cast out by her fellow elves because of it. She befriends those similar to her and finds out that she possesses a power greater then magic- friendship.

Stella: This dryad possesses The Belt of the Shape-Shifter, a very powerful item that grants her the power to change her shape to any known animal. The other students mock her because of her ability by calling her "the beast girl". Never the less this young dryad will soon show everyone that "heroes
come in all shapes and sizes".

Leonis: The exiled prince. A student who by chance befriends the other four characters. Always serious, rarely jokes. His artifact is the Cane of the Beggar-the most powerful of artifacts, but no one has ever unlocked it's power. Yet.

Older stuff :)

2007-11-30T03:34:00.000-08:00

In this post I'll introduce you with some of my older works. Hope you like them.

'In the mountains of Hadjar,lays the ancient tower of high sorcery. Hidden from the eyes of the plain mortals, it has survived the raging elven wars. The elves and the humans that know of it, dare not set foot near the tower, for it is protected by powerfull magic, that only few wizards could withstand. Koliostro the wise,is one of them...'

Even though it wasn't accepted as any good by the members of elfwood (that's www.elfwood.com gallery 564), since they didn't leave a single comment, I for some strange reason enjoy watching it from time to time. Maybe it's because I spent so much time working on it.:D

Here is an older one I did while working in Storyboard studio. I know it's a bit grim but considering the state of mind I was in due to a certain somebody (that I won't mention), consider this a light punishment for busting my nuts on a day to day bases. Glad I drew it though.:)

The image below was done in another state of mind (if you know what I mean *wink,wink*) at a friends house in the country. Liked it so I gave it as a present to Marko Stojanovic and his crew while attending the comic exibition in Leskovac 2006.

The B-Titans

2007-10-08T03:46:00.000-07:00

A while back I created some characters for a super hero comic. Naturally I had to create a whole bunch of super villains as well to compensate them. So without any delay I present you the Beta- Titans (the heroes) and their adversaries the Squadron 8 (the villains).

Check other posts for more details about the characters and the story line. See ya.:)

WELCOME to my parlor- said the spider to the fly.

But, seriously. I created this blog 'cause the need for publishing my creations (mostly comics and illustrations) became somewhat necessary (that and the fact that the bitchin' of my closest friend became unbearable *lol*).

the photo on the left is me and the right one is Tall'Amar (a character I created a while back for a

comic me and my buddy are still working on.

In the posts to come I intend to bring you closer to my creative process, so for those few that (hopefully) are visiting, feel free to comment my work. As a matter of fact it's required ;).

Blog ya soon,
Zdravko Girov
