Ok so I ran into another problems with the publisher for my comic

More infos in the article because I need to rant but TL;DR : They were afraid that I was going to be accused of plagiarism and I have to change the design of a character and the cover


Soooooooo

I shared the sketch of my cover for my comic a while ago with my publisher

They were super happy and told me to continue and start adding colors

I sent the version with colors, they were really happy again

And then I sent the color script I made for the comic, explaining that you usually do that for animations but I wanted to do it with my comic

And SOMEHOW they remember then that they heard about an animated series in a fantasy settings with cats and suddenly they panicked, started telling me that we might be accused of plagiarism and that they needed to think about things I might need to change about the comic

Mind you: I had already started the lineart of the first chapter of the comic and already spent hours making the color script and the cover

Then I received a second email, I now potentially need to remove a whole character for the cover (because apparently I cannot draw 3 humanoid cats facing the viewer on my cover??), the city in the background, change the colors of one of the characters, change the design of the hat of another one and OH MY GOD IT'S STUPID

Can't tell you more than this but the fantasy animated serie with cat has a VERY different graphic style and characters and now I'm just stressed about something dumb and have to wait to know which changes I'll actually have to do and if I have to redraw a bunch of pages...

AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH

Emotes sketches for a client's project !

I love making emotes so much~

I went with a cursive fond and retouched the colors a bit ! I honestly really love this sketch ahah

Just got to find the motivation to clean it now

Back to my latest personal project~

Little sketch for a personal project~

The whole project (and this specific image) is actually inspired by a place I visited with a friends during vacations

I'M LATE BUT HERE IS SOME NEW STUFF FOR SUMMER !!

2 new backgrounds and one new avatar frame, availble until september in my shop !

I'm preparing some character sheet for these 2 characters !

The first one needs to have a name linked to the sea, and the second one I have absolutely no inspiration :')

Any ideas?

New backgrounds and avatar frame coming tomorrow !

Also, I made a community for my art, important news & future contests ! Join me there o/

The Lady and her Black Bird (it sounds better in French ahah)

An illustration I made for a zine we're making! Only part of it will be visible but I still thought it would be nice to clean the entire illustration !

(still hate drawing forests btw)

Researches for a client's project (for their Twitch and Youtube streams !) I'm going to be working with a motion designer for this part, it's always challenging to work with someone else but I'm glad I don't have to do all this work alone :')
