Description Just out in France is issue #1 of the new gothic magazine, Bella Nolita. Vampirus maximus! XD
I've been working with Fabrice Sapolsky to create characters who decorate the mag and who also feature in their own new comic, written by Fabrice. It's much like the fabulous Jessica Jung does for the Princesse Miya magazine that I've guested in. ^_^

Here's page one of the comic. We wanted to go for something a little different and stylised. I've been really enjoying coming up with outfits for Lola! ^_^

I'd love to go. We were going to this year, but it was the hubby's 30th, so we couldn't make it...but maybe next year? I hear such good stuff about it! ^_^

KatCardy In reply to emmav [2010-03-15 13:01:07 +0000 UTC]

Yeah, next year would be cool, our MSND would be out by then and we could take it along so that the amazing French artists could all laugh at us lol

mooncalfe [2010-03-07 05:10:58 +0000 UTC]

this looks gorgeous! usually i'm not too fond of panel-border-breaking but i LOVE the guy's outstretched hand coming out like that! i might have to try something like that in my own work...

emmav In reply to mooncalfe [2010-03-08 12:31:29 +0000 UTC]

Thanks so much, hon. ^_^
mmm, I wanted him to really seem as though he was reaching out to shake her hand, rather than just holding his hand in front of him...and breaking the panel border seemed to get it across ^_^
Fourth wall!! haha.

Oh man, that limited colour palette is so so nice! ...Kind of wish I understood French better. I've forgotten most of my GCSE French now ahaha!
Smooth shading looks really nice with your work, I haven't seen you do it much before.

darthmongoose In reply to emmav [2010-03-05 15:36:53 +0000 UTC]

Yeah, I tend to go for cel-shading myself, and it does look good with your work generally, but that soft shade does look good too!

France is so ahead of us in so many ways...seriously. I'm so jealous! I actually don't speak French, to my shame! But luckily I get to work from English scripts before they're translated ^_^

roseofceres In reply to emmav [2010-03-05 00:17:00 +0000 UTC]

I know!! It's auwsome!! I get so jealous of the french, who grew up watching "Rose of Versailles" and "Candy Candy".
Btw, will your marvel comic be drawn in a similar style th this?

👍: 0 ⏩: 1

emmav In reply to roseofceres [2010-03-05 12:00:14 +0000 UTC]

Gawd, I know! haha. I was lucky and got to watch quite a lot in Italy when I was younger. At least we had Ulysess and Mysterious Cities of Gold over here, haha

My marvel pages are not quite as stylised as this...and will probably look quite different because of the colours - I can't wait to see what the colourist does with it! ^_^
But it won't be a million miles off as it's still my work.

haha, I'm awful at French...I could never quite get to grips with it sadly. Luckily I get to work from english scripts because Fabrice is amazing. *blush*
