Big news everybody!

My webcomic "Hiver Nucleaire" is finally online! For those who don't know, it's a comic about a girl, Flavie, stuck in a perpetual winter caused by a nuclear accident. It's more of a comedy than a hardcore post-apocalyptic epic, but she'll have to deal with plenty of mutants and extreme weather conditions!

I posted the first three pages for your enjoyement. There's the original french version here: [link] and the English translation here: [link]. It's gonna be updated every Monday! I hope you guys like it!

Heyooo!

It's been a while since I updated that thing. For once, I have something interesting and important to say. Yesterday was my last day of work at the office, as a graphic designer. For three years, I did the 9 to 5 thing, endured the packed subway during rush hours and could only work on my stuff at night and on the weekends, between chores and everyday life obligations. As I emerged out of a long, depressing art block that lasted almost a year, I began to take on more and more projects on the side, and at one point, the side became too short to do anything at a reasonable pace. I decided to take the big plunge and burn through my savings, to finally concentrat on what makes me the happiest: drawing.

My latest deviation is a bunch of sketches for a serious web comic idea that I'm totally attached to. For the longest time, comics frightened me because there is so much challenges involved; but I did the research, bought the books, practiced and now, I'm in love with the medium.

Aside from the web comic, I've been working on a pitch with an author and if it does get published, everything will change. I gained so much confidence in my skills in the last year that it became obvious that I had to find more time to put everything in practice. Thus, goodbye secure job, hello adventures! For the first time in many years, I'll get the chance to enjoy summer, even though I have no intention of slacking off. I have tons and tons of work to do and  nothing makes me happier. It's also a chance to test myself, as I'm an eternal procrastinator; if I manage to keep a good pace and stay motivated, I'll draw more in the upcoming months then in the last year combined. Needless to say, I'm extremely excited!

So the next couple of weeks will be aimed at making art for the Montreal Comicon in september, finish a short comic with *boum that earned us 4th place in a comic contest organised by Glenat Québec, do some serious panelling for my web comic and FINALLY finish this pitch that has been dragging on for more then a year.

Tumblr has become the place I'm most active now, because I'm in a research and sketching phase. I'll compile the best of for Deviantart but it's gonna be more sporadic.

So yes, things are great now; I have no idea if this break will last, this will depend on the sad truth that I will need income at one point. But for now, I'm gonna enjoy this opportunity to the fullest.

Heeey! I'll be Livestreaming all night long! CGing and doodling mutants crazy characters! It's a date, 7:30 PM (in half an hour) Eastern time. Here! [link]

Oi oi oi all! I haven't been on here in a while except for calling out Livestream sessions, haven't I! Truth be told, my lust for comments and numbers and imaginary feedback has lead me to Tumblr but I promise I am not neglecting DA.

It'd be a lie to tell you guys that I've been so caught up in amazingly interesting projects that leave me no time to sleep. I am working on a comic proposal but other then that...myeh. I know I've been such a tease with my "Keys to the City" comic project that I had every good intention on doing. Right now I need to make a name for myself and leave old OCs behind, as much as it breaks my heart. Wow, look at me go, getting all personal and stuff!

Anyway, my DA page has reached an astonishing almost 400,000 views and I intend to celebrate. Whoever hits this magical number, unphotoshopped screenshot to back it up, will get a free comission! Not a giant fresco or anything like that, but something decent. It's gonna be in a while though, but I'll keep this journal up until it happens!

Hey y'all, I'll be Livestreaming a couple of drawings this afternoon at 3:00 Eastern Standard. See you there! [link]

It's starting to be a weekly thing! I'll be livestreamin' some character designs and possibly a messy background tonight, at 6PM Eastern standard time. It's gonna be fun and exciting woo! Meet me on Livestream in an hour! [link]

It's ON. Right now.  [link]
