Description This is my entry for a collective book about Le Locle , a Swiss city which for the last two years has been using comics to enhance its reputation and raise its profile.

The new book is a collection of short comics stories focusing on the city's natural resources and riches.

This is the inside cover illustration, an ironic take on Le Locle's undeserved reputation as a city constantly covered with snow (the sign reads: "Le Locle under the snow, dig here")

That's brilliant. I love this style of art from yours. You always experiment on different styles every time, but not a single style have failed to impress me.
On this particular art, I really love the expression, also great job with the character design, as well as the details.
The shading also is really nice. The lighting also is brilliantly done. Very detailed lighting and shading indeed if I must say.

Not only that, I also love how you make the sign. Very creative way of describing the reputation of the city.

Overall, great job! Congratulations for the book about Le Locle.

Heureusement, les responsables de la Ville du Locle qui m'ont commandé ce dessin avaient l'air de trouver ça plutôt rigolo.

Shiver! Reminds me of winter in Quebec. Look at his frost-bitten little fingys, I bet he has to do a Ranulph Fiennes when he gets home. Oh necrosis, you've done it again.

This is super-cute picca and some great character design. Colourings aces as well. But I'd expect no less.
