My favorite Queen song. It's awesome as its lyrics. I made this photomanipulation (or something like that) from a shot of myself influded by this song (yeah, man I was bored).
By the way, here is a Temet Nosce video Trailer I did sometime ago:

The illustrations on it are a bit old, before the final edition I did.

Temet Nosce Illustrations

And how not, I upload some illustrations of my graphic novel Temet Nosce published by Heavy Metal http://www.heavymetal.com (it still appears on the web principal page!!)
I add a link of a review published in the Spanish Comic Authors Asociation (just in Spanish, sorry):

My dolls

I took these shots in the place I worked this summer. It had a wonderful lake and my Super Dollfies look very cute with that landscape, don't they? ^__^
These are two of my six Super Dollfies: Vanity and Caramel. Caramel is the Alice dressed.
Hope you like it.

Alice and Mad Hatter

Hiya!
I uploaded an Alice and Mad Hatter pencil sketch. It's from my new project "Wonderland Disorder". Wonderland Disorder is a psychiatric disorder I created.
It will be a graphic novel with an art book style. I mean, illustrations will be the most important part as in Temet Nosce, but it will tell a new story of a grown up Alice and her Wonderland; a Goth and mad Wonderland shared with her love: the Mad Hatter who will appear as a handsome guy (yeah, not that ugly and old man that we see in Carrol's xD).
I felt deceived when I saw in the trailer of Burton's Alice Johnny Deep as Mad Hatter. I thought the character would be more handsome as the actor is (L).
I installed in my PC "American Mc Gee's Alice" again. I like that game very much. It had been inspiring in Temet Nosce and so it is in Wonderland Disorder.

Welcome!

Hi there! This is my first entry in my new blog. I am really excited because there's just ten days left for my book to be on sale.
I feel that this is almost unreal, my dream has come true and even some preorders are out of stock. It's just unbelievable!
Temet Nosce is very important for me. I think that it's a book that absolutely reflects my own soul. It has even some secret messages on it ;) (not about me, just some hints, I love playing with these things).
Now I'm working in a new project: Wonderland Disorder; a sequel of Carrol's Alice that I wanted to write and draw since I finished Temet Nosce. Even I think that Temet Nosce is very "wonderlandish". I am an Alice's fan since I was a little girl *_*
The script of my new project is written and I worked hard in number codes and some funny tricks as Carrol used to like. Also, I will include a tribute to one of my favourite movies. I will upload some pencil sketches ^^
Temet Nosce has some influence from other of my favorite movies: The Matrix. The quote (Know Thyself) is shown in the Oracle's house and I loved its meaning. You can find a lot of paralelism in my book with the essence of the movie. Both play with the mind and what it is real and not, but one is based in technology and computers and other in a Wonderland atmosphere.
