“BD” refers to Franco-Belgian comics, but let's open things up to include ALL Euro comics and GN's. Euro-style artistry from around the world is also welcome. ^^

* BD = "Bandes dessinées"
* BDT = Bedetheque
* GN = graphic novel
* LBK = Lambiek
* LC = "Ligne claire"

The finished work was designed for the box-cover of the anthology series Norman Stories and Legends.

Béatrice shared these pieces on her FB page, and I upscaled them and stitched the one together above. I really like 'before and after' works like this.

Oof, the upscaling kinda borked up her mouth, but overall I think it's much sharper now.

Some Lady of the Lake vibes!

Zoomie!

I haven't read this series yet, or anything by Tillier so far, but I like her art a lot. Hopefully more later.

The smart mix of clear lines in the front and blurry objects with no outline in the background results in an amazing depth of field effect that seems to be increased even more by the differentiated lighting. I appreciate it a lot! I also like the Tarot card aesthetics of this piece. The snake looks quite friendly too, which is cool.
