MDV- Eva Anderson

Introducing the female main character of the new book.

MDV- Half way...

Now working on the color of page 33 of the new book, just in the half way to finish it. This is one of the panels of that page, one I enjoyed a lot to do.

Oz goes USA!

Hello everybody! I´m really glad (excited!!) to announce the release today of the "Wizard of OZ" book on USA, published by Image:

This is a design of a character from the second original novel of Baum´s Oz, that I did for a kid´s book, a kind of roleplaying game book.

Happy holidays, my friends!

Sweet dreams

Hi! Back from holidays! How are you?...That bad? hum...
Well, well... This is a "brush-test" I did some time ago, directly on Painter. The model was my cat "Manchi": she was sleeping on my legs during the process!!

Holidays

The 62 pages of the new book are ready to be colored. Here is a sample of some, mixed with storyboard pages, and a fun provisional logo.
Now is time for holidays (for me that means working on another place ,sigh!), so this blog will be really boring during some time.
Have nice holidays everybody, and see you soon!

MDV-ink&color test 2

Another test done some months ago before start working on the pages of the book.

AWARD!

The past weekend, the third book of OZ received an award on the first Festival of BD at Lyon. To say it in four words: great city, very nice people, and this beautifull gift. Merci beaucoup! :)

Chroniques de Sillage 3

Another of the illustrations you can find into this book (in stores this week).

Self-promotion?No shame?...of course! :)

Have a great new year everybody!:D
Here ,some storyboards from the last book of Oz, the volume 3 that is going to be released this week in France. This part of the process is where I find more fun, as it is where it´s decided almost everything after the script, and you can feel you are "creating" something.
