Artist's Comments

I'm on fire! This took way less time to colour than I expected... three hours maybe?

This is Florence again, from my novella La petite révolution (The Small Revolution), and this is actually the cover I made for it as I'm going to self-publish it through Lulu. It's a wrap-around cover, so she'll be horizontally standing, over the spine. Am I making sense? That would explain why there is so much blank space on the left and why it's so pale in these areas, just so text would be readable over it.

I tried a new technique for this, which I think I learned by checking `betteo's stuff. I shaded everything with grey tones, as roughly as I could, and then I just painted colours over it on layers set to Multiply. The result is interesting and quick, I'll be sure to try that again!

I hope you like, this whole colouring technique and explosion effects are a new thing for me D:

Sadly, no D: I wrote it for school in a French class... and I probably wouldn't do it justice by translating it in English. I'm sorry :(

Awww :heart: That flatters me a great deal, but it's too hard to learn for a mere 87 pages! ;)

I'll remember to come back and buy it when I learn all of the European languages. XD
