Hey #portfolioday, I'm Félix, comic-book writer and artist and this is one of the latest panels I made for my upcoming graphic novel Les Cendres du Nord!

A fellow member from our comics and illustration artists federation (ABDIL) has been gassed and hit in the face when peacefully protesting, nothing can justify such behaviours from the law enforcement.

We will keep pressuring the government until it gives up its neoliberal and reactionary politics.

Massive protest today in Brussels against the Arizona government and their anti social politics, targeting the poor, the youth, the retired, the culture.

It was a historical mobilization (more than a 100 000 people), and it was joyful to see so many people gathering all together for social justice.

Anarchist and LGBTQ+ flags flying in the wind. There is also asexual and anarcho-communist flags flying behind. Behind, there are buildings and the grey sky of Brussels.

Magna Tolvan @magnatolvan.bsky.social · May 4

#MayThe4thBeWithYou! To celebrate, here is an only-now-declassified self-portrait I call, “Candidate for Greatness”

Pre-cybernetic #MagnaTolvan — before the attack on Eadu in #RogueOne, before she met #DoctorAphra, and back when #Tolvan was still a rising star within the Empire’s ranks!

Art by me!

Alt-text: "Candidate for Greatness" — a black and white illustration by me, that depicts young Imperial captain Magna Tolvan saluting crisply. She has yet to receive her cybernetics. Her expression is serious and she engages your gaze / the viewer's gaze directly — perhaps she looks even through you, beyond you, above you — such is her well-earned confidence in her skill & superiority. High-contrast image makes use of heavy shadows, from offscreen overhead lighting and back-lighting — the latter of which is provided compositionally / conceptually by the large Imperial insignia behind her. The central circle of the emblem forms a stylized sun-like crown or halo around Tolvan's head — fitting for the perfect Imperial!

Hello #PortfolioDay I'm Félix, french comic book writer and artist living in Belgium.

My themes go from historical/medieval to cyberpunk. I love to talk about relationships, politics and to imagine better worlds.

I'm just finishing my very first graphic novel, Les Cendres du Nord, and Pit of Eden.

Comic page featuring a Dane warrior riding a horse through the coutryside of Northumbria, peasants working in an Anglo-Saxon village, and a lady and her thegns training in a motte and bailey.

Comic book page similar to the previous one

Comic book page featuring a couple arguing in the Northumbrian winter

The comic book cover of Les Cendres du Nord featuring a couple hugging in the snow, coming this spring from Les Editions Fedora

I’m not the best guy to ask. I’m old as shit & I broke into a v different biz. That said:
Live as cheaply as you possibly can while staying safe
Learn *everything* about your market. Who will pay for what you want to do?
Always look for ways (you can live with) to monetize your skills

You said some publishers expect artists to live well below the poverty line. Would you have any advice for young artists to make a decent living out of comics?

Fascinating and important interview of @oliviermannoni.bsky.social by @edwyplenel.bsky.social, or how the nazi language has spread into Trump's rhetoric, but also in the far-right all over Europe.

English-speaking friends, there are automatically translated subtitles available on yt, go watch it.

Traducteur de l’allemand, Olivier Mannoni interroge, à partir du laboratoire nazi, la brutalisation de la langue qui accompagne les fascismes. Il nous explique comment Trump parle comme Hitler, et Poutine comme un gangster.

شادي و ميادة و هما واقفان على ضفة البحر و خلفهما اسطنبول في وقت الفجر، اضواء المباني التي لما تضأ بعد، جو الفجر الهادئ و انعكاس ضوء المسجد على البحر.

‎شادي و ميادة في الماضي، شعر شادي اطول و شعر ميادة اقصر، يلبس شادي قميصا ابيضا و يسحب قميص ميادة بينما تسحبه هي و تدفعه في نفس الوقت لتمنعه من تقبيلها، تحمر ميادة خجلا بينما تضحك و تخبر شادي ان يتوقف

رسمة بمشهد كامل لشادي و ميادة في مصعد احمر بعد ان انتهوا من مقاتلة اعدائهم، تقف ميادة امام شادي في المصعد بينما ظهرهما الى ناحية الكاكيرا و الباب، بينما تمسك ميادة خناجرها و تنظر إلى المشاهد و يمسك شادي مسدسه و ينظر امامه

Last week, as a pretext for my bday, I organised a little something. We ate in a boardgame bar with my gfs and a few very good friends.

I felt so lucky and full of love.

It is these kinds of moments that make you realise why you must keep standing up. Because this is what life should feel like.

The world is turning towards the worst. We see ideologies from the darkest part of our history coming back, our rights as citizens and workers and humans falling apart.

Yet to keep up the fight I think it's important to enjoy the good moments of life as well.

Not some art, but yesterday was my birthday and I went to the zoo with my gf and two of my best friends. I saw elephants, and it truly brought joy to my heart.

Lately when people ask me how I'm doing, the words that come naturally are "the world is collapsing, but I'm doing pretty well myself".
