The Call of the Wild
Jack London
A new edition, published by Santillana within the Loqueleo collection where comics and literature come together to give the freshest version of this classic by Jack London. An author I admired and enjoyed very much since I was a child, it was a pleasure and an adventure to illustrate him. On this occasion I worked for the first time with a protagonist who is not human, I found this opportunity very interesting, where to express the story through another type of character.
Ana Alonso was the writer in charge of adapting the text for this edition.
«Venture out and accompany Buck in this dangerous and exciting journey, where men and animals face nature and their own limits.»
La Llamada de lo Salvaje
Jack London
Ana Alonso fue la escritora encargada de adaptar el texto de esta edición.
«Aventúrate y acompaña a Buck en este peligroso y apasionante viaje, donde hombres y animales se enfrentan con la naturaleza y con sus propios límites.»
For this project I partnered with Huion, who provided the Kamvas Pro 24 (4K). An incredible pen display with the best detail and precision thanks to the 4k resolution. The feeling of the surface is very close to the experience of drawing on paper. Also came with the new Battery-free Slim Pen wich combined with the surface creates the feeling of no parallax, you basically paint the surface. Here you can find the video testing the display and also talking about La Llamada de lo Salvaje, I show some my work in progress:
More scenes of the book:
Work in progress, first sketch, then inking and color. Notice all the book has a stricted color palette, this was decision of Santillana, to make the whole collection of Loqueleo more coherent between different artists.
