Formidable! Y-a-t-il une copie de la vidéo quelque part qui ne soit pas Evolix? Apparemment, on ne peut pas le visualiser sans payer pour une compte dans le site... Ou c'est-ce qu'il me semble...

That's a really great view. I quite like the angle. A long time JV fan here myself. As a hobby, I translate some of his works (with permission) into Esperanto for free distribution as e-books. Just three out so far, but with a fourth underway. One is even illustrated, another just sort of (in that I made the attempt by myself). Anyhow, Cugle is one of my favorites. I'm glad to see him getting away.

This is my favorite book, and has influence my own writing greatly. The artwork does the book justice.

Jack Vance died a week ago, and so,any further work in his decayed decadent world will have to be done by others.
I had expected his passing, due to his age and health.

Cugel on the run from Rembrandt's Town guard hehe
Vance seems more popular in languages other than his own sadly if a recent hunt on ebay is any example. Plenty in Dutch, German, even Portuguese but precious little in English.

I know! Probably as a consequence of that, none of the English versions have such nice covers, either, as far as I have seen! Sometimes I feel like I'm the the last Vance fan in the US...

Well, so long as we stick together, the Dying Earth may yet live a while longer, friend!

Cugel OFTEN hacked people off in those stories and deserved utter destruction on a number of occasions ! He -he had more prices put on his head than Groo ever did !

I really like this one. The detail you've managed to put in it is amazing!
I've watched the making-off as well, which makes it more impressive in my opinion. Really great art!
