That's the panel where the fight action starts for real, and I loved drawing this one, hehe! You can see how I was seeking for the right position, early at the storyboard stage it was kinda the same. I was very eager to create the fight scene, but also terrified!
2021-11-21 17:25:12 +0000 UTC View PostAfter the surprising disappearance, this 21st page shows the hero dressing up & then SURPRISE a new character showing off!
This second...
2021-11-18 13:52:31 +0000 UTC View PostA double training for me with this illustration. First the asian boy, I still feel it's so hard to get properly the asian physique, and I didn't draw one for a long time. You'll get soon why I need to practice more.
Second, the solid black shading: I still want to master this rendering...
2021-11-15 17:04:52 +0000 UTC View PostThe black & white version feels always more readable to me, maybe cause I'm not performing the colors myself. I still see the lack of special fx like the lights from the weapon, but I read them. Well, cause I'm the author, I guess, LOL!
Even if I worked hard on the poses & the bodies there, I love how t...
2021-11-15 16:56:47 +0000 UTC View PostLet me surprise you with this old commission, I totally forgot about & it gave me the WOW effect when it came across my search in the vault!
This vision of an ultra hairy Beast & over muscled was such a change from my usual rendering, hehe! Hope you like it! ;-)
2021-11-11 19:51:04 +0000 UTC View PostThe final fight page, the layout came really clearly, as it was in my head.
2021-11-11 19:45:44 +0000 UTC View PostThis one started as a quick sketch, you can see the line art a bit nervous, then I wanted to add *quick* shading & finally I over worked the illustration, so it looks like a finished piece, haha! I really enjoy practicing the shading with digital graphite.
2021-11-10 18:15:52 +0000 UTC View PostA video process of this fanart, especially on the inking. I struggled with the background, the perspective was off to me, so I had to ask someone to re insure me!
You can also see I started the shading briefly & stopped to ...

Bye Bye to the assaulting character in this page. To start the 20th page, I wanted a perfect view at the hero, and what's better than a back + ass shot?!...
2021-11-04 14:00:51 +0000 UTC View PostA very detailed vid of the process here: you see the panel drawn at the storyboard stage, then becoming the sketch & all the rest. You also get the struggle with the head expression, eyes, at some point.
I wanted to give all the high level of tension suddenly happening between them.
2021-11-04 13:58:49 +0000 UTC View PostLet's cheer us all up as it's Hump day! And I worked my ass off on this one to get THE black shading I tried to work on the previous artworks. Although a part of me likes it, I'm still not there with it. I guess I need to watch more of the tutorial vids from senior artists, it's a demanding technic & I'd ...
2021-11-03 18:59:02 +0000 UTC View PostHello folks, we start november with a good vibe as I'm working on the final pages of the chapter. I plan to post them all for you before 2022, so you should get pages 22, 23 & 24 in december.
As it's a lot of work, cause it's a new sequence introducing a new character, I won't be drawing p...
2021-11-03 18:52:23 +0000 UTC View PostThe building of the character from this illustration drawn in the Procreate app. The rest is made with Photoshop & Illustrator on the computer.
I still like it but something's off with the shading, too strong, it r...
2021-11-03 18:48:11 +0000 UTC View PostThanks for visiting my Patreon page, feel free to see the public stuff. If you can support my art, thanks in advance, you'll access to much more exclusive content.
Here is a summary to quick access the comics:
Tit play, anyone? :-P
Another take with the *simple* shadows as color, matching a colored background. What I like in this type of rendering is delivering the white as a real color, not just the original blank sheet of paper (aka blank file as it's digital ^^).
Truth is I started with blac...
2021-10-31 13:12:29 +0000 UTC View PostWithout the colors & special fx, there's only flesh fighting! The sweat is also more visible, just like the blood: thick & black. As before, the work in progress force field here can't be used as a final black & white version, it should be reworked.
About the rendering itself, I like how raw & violent it...
2021-10-31 13:10:59 +0000 UTC View PostAn oldie that didn't age well to my taste for this throw back thursday. A fanart of a pronstar with some amazing ASSets! The inking was traditional, like the sketch, all scanned before digital colors.
You clearly see the gap with what I produce now, but it's interesting to look back. Still, if I rememb...
2021-10-28 18:19:09 +0000 UTC View PostLots of action again & I enjoyed performing the storyboard: you get that messy, dynamic vibe that suits the overall action. Although I just love the final result, it looks too polished for some nasty bloody fight for your life! XD
2021-10-28 18:15:25 +0000 UTC View PostThis one took time, although it should have been an all inked illustration, I was carried away with a colored background & then... well I got free & tested out stuff with the colors, the shadows & especially the lights. They figure out as drops of sweat, or some weird texture.
Anyway I like the result, I hop...
2021-10-27 16:09:55 +0000 UTC View PostA video process of their last... intimate & *sweet* interaction in page 17, right before fighting each other. I really like how it is intense here, although when storyboarding this panel, I was afraid of having something too simple here. But the way they look, the position of the hand, work it all out!

2021-10-25 17:47:16 +0000 UTC View PostThe process for this fanart goes only trough graphite & it was first a delicate work, then enhance the *big* volumes, hehe, plus the veins.
2021-10-25 17:44:27 +0000 UTC View PostThe sketchy storyboard seemed clear, but it was not that clear when I had the finished art before sending for colors. It's such a tricky page with new ways & stuff, as I said: the fight scene is harder to get, all the more I didn't create much before.
Still I need to learn fast: it's not gonna be the ...
2021-10-21 17:38:04 +0000 UTC View PostA detailed view on this animation for this throw back thursday! Only 2 frames, and I drawn them side by side, as shown on the sheet process I did scanned for each step back in the day.
I remember panicking a bit at some point, not sure at all it would work, but it turned out fine. All lies in the timing and it was fun t...
2021-10-21 17:29:51 +0000 UTC View PostAs shown in the last image, I was going to train my cross-hatching, after watching new vids of comic masters, and the first try-outs were not convincing: I really need to merge my cross-hatching now (you witness on the NIMO comic) & these possible evolution.
In the meantime, for this lovely
Especially in this page, you see how this *noire* version is a work in progress: the force field building only with thick lines, on the silhouettes mainly, isn't working. If I wanted to get a readable black & white version, I should rethink the rendering of some parts. The page is think as a stage to pass on the ...
2021-10-19 17:21:10 +0000 UTC View PostAfter our previous LUSTory, this is a special panel from page 19: the last one featuring the character in chapter 1. I wanted it to be big, so I did, wit...
2021-10-14 09:47:24 +0000 UTC View PostBack to lovely digital graphite for this Humpday. I wanted to go quick, sketchy, but, as often, I got carried away & draw a full piece. I think he got me with the beauty spots!
Did he get you? ;-)
