Glad to be getting away from this @*!!!$$$@%! page!Some pages go just as you expect, a few blessed ones are quicker and easier, and some, for reasons that are never clear, fight you every step of the way and take ages. The one I've just finished was like that - didn't look as if it would be too bad but for some reason it took me five days. Bastud.
Still, it's done, and as of 1.40pm today, there are only ten pages of The Great Game left. Good thing too, 'cause the deadline's rushing me like a rhino on steroids.

That's cool. I really like your art, it has a beautiful european quality to it. I'm going to check out my TinTin books now, to compare! Looking forward to the book.
Glad to see you have the same problems as we mere mortals.
I'm really going to have a hard time waiting for the collection of this book, all the work posted so far is just delightful.
Yup, I'm definitely one of those who went more for Tin Tin than Asterix; I loved the way Herge located all his characters in real space using very naturalistic points of view so you almost felt as if you were in the drawing with him.
Another big influence on me was the tragically now-deceased clear-line artist Arno, whose work isn't easily available in English; some of his work appeared in heavy metal in the early 80's, but there are no extant English language collections that I know of. His "Aventures d'Alef-Thau," written by Alexandro Jodorowsky, had a huge effect on the way I did colour... in fact I'm minded to scan some bits and post them so you can see the similarities...
