Amazing work, I just bought the book a few days ago, and I love how you drew Jant and his wings, and the castle and battle grounds, so much details, so real!!! Great Job ^^

Wow! I love this book (and the sequels), but have never seen this cover, seeing as I am a English fellow who gets a different version on his book. It is really, really good. Fantastic work.

i've read the book, and the cover is easily one of its better features. The story was at least orignal, though it was more than a little confuseing.

Great artist, You can stand in rang with Dali, Magritte, ect.
And pleasant to meet an older artist than 20 (most of the people here are 20)
Some parts of France have some magic feelings (Bretagne, Normandie)
Each 5 years I visite the magic city of Rouen, last summer I've seen a beautiful projection on the cathedral of Rouen. This city always give me what I need that moment.
Succes with your work.
greeetings,

Your paintings are outstanding, Im amazed at how smooth your paintings are- Ive tried very hard to paint but Im terrible at it... I dont know how to use them and they never some out so smooth and bold...not like yours- You've got a great talent my friend and you show it well.
Keep up the amazing work.

This is simply stunning. I'm... I'm lost for sufficient superlatives!
The sky, the depth of the landscape, the incredibly rich colours... I love everything about this piece.
Congratulations on the cover commission... in my humble opinion your art deserves the widest possible audience.
Another favourite.

Beautiful painting - stunning infact. Congrats on getting it published (you're allowed to post this on the internet? 
Overall the atmosphere is fantastic, props to the nice range of colours you've used. I like subtle darkness, the wire, the stormy clouds, the way the angel's plunging down, it's all very creative. I agree with the wings being rather low on the back, but angels being myths are left up to interpretation.
Anyway, the picture is brilliant, the colours, the texture and attention to details, it all adds up really well. Very impressive, and it's a pity this piece seems underrated.

Bah comme d'habitude la technique est absolument superbe et l'ensemble de l'image me donne toujours des idΓ©es bizarres. Vu de loin j'avais l'impression que c'Γ©tait une sorte d'oiseau qui venait amener la guerre sur le sol. Mais finalement cela me semble plus Γͺtre la chutte de l'un des combattants du haut. Va savoir pourquoi ils se font la guerre. En tout cas en base cela me semble bien paisible, peut Γͺtre le calme avant la tempΓͺte.
Bon par contre je suis pas fan de la position des ailes pour l'ange, perso je les aurai mises au niveau des Γ©paules, je trouve cela plus normal au niveau de la dynamique de vol

I love the angle you view the scene at, and the depth in the landscape is awesome, as usual for your landscapes. The clouds are great too, which I always notice, I have problems with clouds.

Very nice. Rich velvety textures, warm colors. And of course the landscape and falling angel invoke emotion and feeling. I love it.
