For years he has been haunted due to a mysterious Gypsy legend. For years he has been seeking the origins of this legend. Clandestino’s fate is about to change, now that he is getting closer to solving all the mysteries of his past. An old Gypsy legend said that the Gypsy Queen, who gave birth to a boy the first night of full moon, would bring to earth the future Gypsy King. With the powers of the moon, he would guide his people for the rest of eternity. It never happened. She gave birth, but soon after was killed leaving the little boy an orphan, with no mother to raise him to maturity. As he grew up, many questions started to appear. Dangerous people started to chase him, blaming him for the death of the Gypsy Queen. All that he knows is the clandestine lifestyle. He trained himself and become the best shooter in the underworld. That’s where he met Leena, a Gypsy that knows even more of his past than he does. With her help, will be become the King he was meant to be? A Gypsy, a girl, and a gun, will guide you to the journey of Clandestino to discover his unknown destiny.

cheers!
This is great. By the way:
CAN YOU DRAW THIS BETTER THAN I DID?
http://www.facebook.com/home.php#/pages/Nucleotide/184675745653?ref=ts
The answer is probably yes. I'm clearly not a professional artist.
But if you can do this better than I did, maybe we can win the Zuda contest together! Check out these 8 pages and let me know what you think.
If you're an artist and would like to work with me, send me an email at nucleotidecomic@gmail.com.
Excelente trabajo Amancay, orgulloso de tener a un gran artista acá en Temuco, haces un gran trabajo de excelente calidad, ya se vio con "hijos de p", vamos annb!! quiero que ganes!!
Damn good work on this. I was shocked that you didn't jump out higher early and stay there throughout this. Cladestino reminds me of something one might have seen in Heavy Metal Magazine back in the day :)
4/5 stars and a fav my review here:

I'm mad because I wrote a nice comment, but couldn't post it because my login status had timed out... So anyway: Nice art, nice butt on the girl, cool action, dumb story.
This comic has some really great design work. I like the panel that is spliced into columns on one end alot. I always admire good page design in a comic and it's superb here.
*texranger37, josiah_grahn: Thanks for the support guys!
*mpd57: i'll check it out!

Review'd @ http://mpd57.wordpress.com
Very, very pretty stuff.
I like it!!
The art is sexy...its got a sensuality to it I cannot explain. It's a cliffhanger of a story...hopefully it won't just be your typical revenge tale. The wording is a little rough at times (gun shooter? = assassin, hit-man, sniper, or just shooter), but it does not effect the story. GREAT!!
*BlaqueSaber: Yeah man, me too :DD
*slidestudios: that's awesome!
*CyberLord: Thanks for the tip Lord! I'll keep that in mind!
*kingofsnake: yeah, well actually one of the things i wanted to do in this comic, was to "test" this "weird" style of art and color, and play a bit with. I'm not the kind of guy that usually likes to use too much color in my pages, so I went to the extreme opposite in this and try something pretty "radical". Some liked it, others didn't, that's how it is :)
Trying to get all my critiques in before the end of the month, and not crap out halfway through like last month...
The inking here is very good, it makes the pencils look better than they would otherwise. There are just a few anatomy issues here and there, especially on the ladies, that make them look almost cartoonishly sexual. But, like I said, the fantastic inking really saves it. The coloring is weird, but not weird in a bad way. It really rides that line that supertron rides between off-putting and awesome. Although, I'd still rank supertron higher on the awesome scale. The story is a bit strange, but there's nothing wrong with that either. The fault in the story telling is not it's strangeness, but it's over reliance on narrative boxes. It feels less like you're telling me a story here and more like you're pitching me a story. If you narrowed your focus instead of laying out your entire backstory, this would be a far better eight pages.
Really nice! Loved the opening panel where we see the action through Clandestino's eyes. Very nice pacing to bring us to page eight which tied in as a the title page. Good luck with this.
One last note: The Rom don't like the term "gypsy". It has some negative connotations. In particular it's where we get the word "gyp".

Cheers folks!
I gave it a 4. The writing was a little heavy-handed, but the concept's cool, the art is gorgeous and it's hard to convey a lot of story in 8 half-comic pages. So good work.
Great art. The premise was a bit too loose for me. It kind of came off as Afro Samurai in reverse with the main bad guys look and that he used a sword rather than guns, and the "hero" was an excellent gunsman rather than swordsman.
Killer art, love the color palette as well as the drawing. The story is great too, like Tarantino meets the Gyspsies. I haven't read all the other submissions yet, but this one is getting my vote as of right now.
4th place? People we can do better than that. This is the friggin shizz! Wake up! Vote for this!
you artwork is amazing (colors, buildings, cars..) ...excellent work really. Good luck!
Beautiful compositions, unique color sense, and flat out kick ass drawings. Well done annb!
Hola amigo, bueno verlo por aca de nuevo. Como siempre su arte muy bueno y los colores son acidos pero bien escogidos. Interesante historia, el comienzo con los carros suspendidos en el aire esta muy bueno, lo unico que no me gusta es la pinta de los villanos secundarios.
Good luck this month!!!!
*grobert79: Hey G. thanks for the comments!
*nater1212: Thanks Nate, let's help it climb very high!
*talkinboutcomics: Thanks dude, i'm looking forward too, to be able to continue writing clandestino!
*famished: thanks F. i had a lot of fun playin' with this color palette hah!
*mrbeiza: gracias! nop solo un voto y listo.
*jimshelley: thank you so much Jim!
*Andyseus: these comments are the ones that keep me up going! Thanks!
*RD.RICCI1971: Sure they are full of legends and great ideas to work out too, there's a lot more coming for Clandestino if he keeps on going, thanks!
*hamax1: Cool you liked it H., that's what I was looking for, with the angles and colors, some kind of crazy rollercoaster ride. Cheers!

CALENDAR-WALLPAPERS, TRAILERS AND MUCH MORE OF CLANDESTINO @ http://hijosdep.blogspot.com
As far as I'm concerned, your art is absolutely amazing... The story failed to hold my attention near the end, though. 4/5 and a fav from me. Hope you do well this month! ;)
very well done this WILL climb the charts!!!!I told you you are an amazing arteeeeest!
Ok, you got my vote. Seriously, I read everything through previously, then a bunch of it again, and then tonight I have gone over each entry and re-read the ones that absolutely stood out to me as the best. After doing so, from a field of Freak City, Sides, and Clandestino(all of them great art, ideas and execution), Clandestino gets it for originality of subject, tone, and story(The others had those also, but in comparing it back to other winners and entries in the past, this one stands out just a bit farther). I can't begin to express just how close this was, and how tough this was for me to choose. I think ultimately, it was the grindhouse feel and that great big mix of genres, that lead me to go with this.
Good luck in this contest, You've really done an outstanding job with this, and I look forward to reading more of it.
Nice way to start things up! The color palette works well with the art- a bit retro. Interested to see how this unfolds.
go annb!! go!
se vota todos los dias o que onda?
Man, the art on this just kicks total ass! It has a vibrancy and style to it that you rarely see. Great stuff!
This is beautiful. Great visual story telling. Keep up the good work.
Gypsys are a people full of legends,cool Idea,man!
Vote for you!
crazy angle, love the exaggeration .. taking us for a visual roller coaster ... like the good kind, with twirl-loops and upside downs!
storyline is so crazy its hard to keep up, I think it is a clash in the setting against the story that made it hard for me to buy in.
VERY VERY favorited tho, great artwork mi amigo!
*Pedes: let's see if you change your mind and it turns into your number 1, heh, cheers!
*bluejeremiah: wow, terry aurtin in the x-men totally rocked J.
*James Clayton: Thanks for that comment James!

This is my number 3 and it's a strong number 3. What I mean is: you have good art and there is a story, but the connection between narration of art and dialogs/text seems somewhat loose... And I don't mean spacey; rather like corset that's not been tied properly. Maybe you tried to squeeze too much information in those 8 pages... on the other hand you managed to make those 8 pages a nice introduction that works like a movie trailer and THAT is something I value quite much (a lot of the previews here seem randomly cut).
To be honest that's just me being picky, because I had to choose from 3 ;P
Way to capture and hold my attention! The art reminded me of some of Terry Austin's work with the X-Men years ago. Good luck!
Very cool - the last page stands out in particular and I like the vibe and energy. The only problem I have is that the white backdrop in some bits makes the thing look like something's missing but maybe that's just me. As I said, a very cool and captivating strip - good luck!
Este comic es el mejor del mes, gran trabajo! (y que buen trasero)
This comic is pretty interesting, but I'm not sure if it's strong enough of a story to make me keep reading it. I like the main villain well enough, but the two sub villains look like supervillain rejects. The dialogue seems innapropriate to the story at parts (like when his partner yells "yay"), but overall an interesting premise.

cheers!
Welcome back to Zuda, annb. I really liked the art in your last entry, but it is much improved by color.
Enhorabuena por el retorno! A darle este mes!
This briefing remembers me something Robert Rodriguez/Tarantino's style (you know, a bit of spaghetti, a bit of oriental style). The dialogues are fast, current and it fits with the story proposal perfectly. Love it, you have my vote and my all stars!
Interesting build. It reads like a nice prologue or zero issue. You got a lot of details in 8 pages and the world is intriguing enough that I am looking forward to the next installment. It's got a nice edgy feel.
Congratulations Amancay, I saw the trailer in youtube, very very interesting. How you made the video?, What software to used?.
I'm sorry, my english isn't good yet.
Vicente
The art absolutely BLOWS MY F'N MIND!!!!!!!! The story didn't hold up to the art, though. Still the art will get you 4 stars and a fav.
I'd give anything to work with an artist like you.
