Emma Frost, Commission

Emma Frost, the White Queen. I've removed the dedications because I hate my handwriting.

Bayonetta, Commission

A little commission I've done some times ago. I'm trying to catch-up with this blog.

Catwoman, Making Of a Base Card.

For the Women Of Legend set, I've had the opportunity to do my first base card for Cryptozoic and DC. Catwoman, no less! Every part of the work was a blast, from prelim to finished colors. And a cameo again of Monsieur le Baron, a.k.a. Jacques Insermini.

Cryptozoic wanted to see Catwoman stealing a jewel, hanged by a rope from the ceiling. First I've made 2 proposals, with intentions of colors.

They went for proposal #2, less dramatic angle, but well... I've done the pencil and inking on a DC comics template, a bit taller in proportion than the card.

Oh, don't call anymore, folks! The original is sold!



The process for the colors is the same as Galactus, thought there are a few more layers for textures and light effects.

Let's finish with Walking Dead....

I've had to do 50 cards for the second set of Walking Dead The Comic Book Sketchcards. It was a bit too much and I almost ran out of inspiration since it was specified that I shoud draw only 20% of zombi cards. So I've drawn some with the regular characters too.

1: Thomas, 2 : Zombi, 3: Axel, 4: Lorie, 5: Zombi, 6: Zombis, 7: Dale, 8: Carl, 9: Allen.

1,2: Michonne, 3: Tyreese and Julia, 4: Eugene, 5: Andrea, 6: The Governor, 7: Rick, 8: Zombi, 9: Billy.

1: Sophia, 2: Abraham, 3: Zombi, 4: Doctor Stevens, 5: Paul "Jesus" Monroe, 6: Negan, 7: Carol, 8: Regina, 9: Douglas.

1: Morgan w/ son, 2: Negan's Goon, 3: Zombi, 4: Maggie, 5: Tyreese, 6: Holly, 7: Glenn, 8: Rosita, 9: Eugene.

1: Heath, 2: Zombi, 3: Dale and Andrea, 4: Josie, 5: Father Gabriel, 6: Aaron, 7: Herschell, 8: Zombi, 9: Julie.

1: Heath, 2: Doctor Denise Cloyd, 3: Gregory, 4: Rick, 5: Zombi.

Bonus: 2 Artist Proof Sketchcards, Carl and Glenn. 3 remains, folks!

Walking Dead Magazine Interview

Here is a little interview I've done for the french edition of the Walking Dead Magazine. Thanks to Xavier Fournier and Thierry Mornet for their time and kindness.

You can find this interview in the issue number 2 of April 2013:

Néron

Jean-Marc Besnier, des éditions Indeez, (oui, oui, mon éditeur) m'a demandé de réaliser dans l'urgence une illustration pour insérer dans l'album Néron, Frères de Sang, le tome 1 du spin-off de Samourawaï. Je me suis donc tenu à une composition efficace et une opposition colorée forte, ce qui n'est pas dans mes habitudes de palette. Mais de temps en temps, il faut se mettre en danger et je me suis bien éclaté sur le dinosaure. Il s'avère que finalement, ce sera pour le deuxième tome de Néron.

The Walking Dead Sketchcards.

Here is the complete set (minus the 5 Artist Proofs) that I've provided for the Walking Dead Comic Book sketchcards. I was planning to do only 20 cards, but I went so fast and Cryptozoic was so happy with the result that they've ask me for 20 more. Well, I couldn't resist.
Voici le set complet de (moins les 5 Artist Proofs) de cartes que j'ai produit pour les sketchcards Walking Dead Comic Book. Je comptais n'en faire que 20, mais j'ai été tellement rapide et Cryptozoic était tellement content du résultat qu'ils m'en ont demandé 20 autres. J'ai pas pu dire non....

Since, I've participated on the second set, soon to be seen on this blog.
Depuis, Cryptozoic a produit un second set auquel j'ai participé. Bientôt sur ce blog :).
