Garabattle begins!

Hi everybody, Happy New Year!
It's been a while since my last update.

Today I have something really neat, you see, me and my friend Christian Castillo used to work together and we started this little game between us. Every morning he would draw a random doodle and leave it at my desk, then I would take it and tried to interpret it and make sense of what it was, and finally make a drawing based on that, the result was often hilarious, weird and very WTF stuff...

It was really fun and a great creativity exercise.

This was the basis that started the idea of the Garabatron, a section we have in our webcomic, The Boy With The Rusty Sword, here you can send a doodle just like I described and if you win, I'll do a drawing based on it. (Check it out, it's really cool :)

So, here's one example I scanned, I intend to post a bunch of these we saved from that time!
(On the left of course is the doodle and on the right it's what I came up with.)

Hola a todos, Feliz Año Nuevo!
No he actualizado en un tiempo.

Hoy les traigo algo bien interesante. Mi amigo Christian Castillo y yo solíamos trabajar juntos y empezamos un pequeño juego entre nosotros. Cada mañana el hacía un garabato al azar y lo dejaba en mi escritorio sin explicarme nada, luego yo tomaba esto y lo interpretaba y trataba de darle sentido y dibujaba algo basado en eso.

El resultado era a menudo graciosísimo, extraño o bizarro.

Era algo muy divertido y un gran ejercicio de creatividad.

Esta fue la base de la sección Garabatron de nuestro webcomic The Boy With The Rusty Sword, aquí nos pueden enviar uds. un garabato y si salen seleccionados, yo hago un dibujo basado en el (Vayan a ver, es muy cool!)

Pues aquí les tengo un ejemplo que escanee me propongo publicar poco a poco muchos de estos que tengo guardados de aquella vez!
(A la izquierda verán el garabato y a la derecha lo que pude se me ocurrió en base a eso)
