LE TROISIÈME TESTAMENT Sketches

Although Robin Recht is the artist for the new Troisième testament book, I have been helping him on a few panels of a somewhat delicate nature. Here are some of the quick sketches I did, including a design for a very special kopesh sword...

Here are color sketches I did for one of the romantic sequences in "Le Troisième testament : Julius". Robin Recht (drawing) and François Lapierre (colors) are wrapping up the book this week. It's exciting to see this whole process finally coming together so beautifuly, thanks to these guy's talents!
Glénat, the publisher, should open a website this month with proper visuals from the book.

LE TROISIÈME TESTAMENT COLOR KEYS

Inspired by a wonderful time in Barcelona (thanks to Jose & Felix, hi Matteo & Kenny!), I set out to paint a couple of sketches for the troisième testament prequel. The colors of the book will be by the excellent François Lapierre, who he is kind enough to let me contribute with ideas as they come along.

These will also give you a sense of the scale we're going for in this story. More in the next few weeks as we wrap up this epic volume!

Barcelona Signing

On May 6-9, I'll be traveling back to Europe for a few days. I'll be signing my books at the Barcelona comic fair with my two spanish publishers, Norma and Glénat. It will be the first time I meet spanish readers, I hope my spanish isn't too rusty. I'll be sure to visit the Sagrada Famila again, see how the construction has progressed. Last time I was in Barcelona was on my way to Toledo, where I did extensive research for El Tercer Testamento book 2...

See "AGORA" !

It is a deeply moving film about reason and faith, set in IVth century Alexandria.
I never planned on using this blog to advertise my tastes, but this film brilliantly succeeds in conveying a lot of the themes, ideas and feelings I'm trying to go for in my stories... and... well, I just want people to see it. No US release is scheduled (yet), but keep an eye out if you want to see the most intelligent and moving roman epic since Spartacus.

Le troisième testament II cover preview

Work in progress : this is a close up on the cover of Julius, the upcoming sequel to the trosième testament. The first series was a medieval mistery in the wake of The Name of the Rose, this new cycle is a roman epic on a grand scale- with a twist.
