Little Dark Cloud & Red Puma - #3 - Terrors & Setups - 16 (I)

New week, new page!
I am working on completing the pages...
It takes time...
It is boring...
So boring...
Before I used to be able to complete five a day...
Even sometimes seven...
Now if I get to five, I am lucky...
I am hoping to complete them before the end of june...
I'll keep you updated!

And maybe soon I'll be able to show you some other illustrations...

And here is somthing nice musically!
Discovered it thanks to The Naked And Famous...

Little Dark Cloud & Red Puma - #3 - Terrors & Setups - 15 (I)

This page (and the following ones completing the story) was created a while ago, back when I wrote the first volume. But due to the number of page for each volume and after to some changes in the story, it only appears now...

As an update, well, all the pages are inked,  and I started finishing some pages during the week-end!

Alright! Let's continue posting!

But I don't think you'll see more stuff on friday for a while...

I am a bit out of stock for now...

But in the mean time, enjoy these volume 3 previews!

(Maybe more coming later...)

And since saturday only three (3!!!) pages left to ink!

And musically, here is something a bit more bluesy!

Which is quite rare among the things I listen to...

It's been a while( again)...
And, just to make things clear, actually previous post wasn't a joke, even if it was posted on April the 1st... Althought I am not sure I'll change the technique now...
Anyway, here is the next preview, a new page, inked quite recently...
For this step there won't be much pages, only four, then, we'll move on to the next step, the flats in their rough shape...
As of today, there are only seven pages left to be inked... So I hope that next saturday, I'll be done with this step!!!
Let's work and see you on monday for a new update...

And musically today here is something a bit different than what I usually listen to...

Update on Little Dark Could & Red Puma volume 3...

Hello guys, how are you doing?
Here is a little update on the status of volume3...

You already know the pencilling is done, and I started inking.
But my bills-paying-work and the journeys to go there start to take a toll on me.
And I 'll admit I don't have the courage, the patience and sometimes the time to work on my project(s). So there are currently something like 32 pages to ink... and then to finalize...

I'll try to complete the ink these next two weeks if...
If my back doesn't ache when I work (it happened often recently), if I have the patience and the will...
And I think it will be the last album...
I'll ink on computer (got you scared right?), I think the next one will be inked by hand... And if it goes well, I'll continue that way, which may (or may not) help albums to be completed faster...

Along that I am looking for a flat closer from work, which also could help with the albums.
At least I hope...
But I got to say that unfortunately, this projetc is a bit heavy on me, because it costs me more money than else, and I don't work on anything else and I feel like it eats away a lot of my time... A lot of my life... And sometimes I feel like I don't have the drive I had on the first two volumes...
But we'll see how it happens...

So I hope to be able to deliver the new book before Christmas...

Muscially here is the first song from a new band formed from the ashes of The Gathering (amazing band!),

they are called the Habitants, and you can pre-order their first album and help them make it here!

Illustration Daemon Killers (a)

Some of you may remember the pages for Daemon Killers that appeared on this blog...

It was a story written by a  friend and we tried to have it published... Unsuccessfuly...

But as it is his baby and he is thinking about adapting it into a serie of novels,

he asked me if I could make an illustration (based on "The Last Supper" by Da Vinci),

So last summer I did the pencilling for this big illustration (as i will be more than a meter wide)

and I completed the inking recently, so here's what it looks like now:

He will be handeling the flats and then I'll add the background and the shades and lights,

as well as some filters probably...
