I want to show you some pages of the comic book "Je suis cathare"T1. It's drawn by Alessandro Calore, script by Makyo, colours by me.
This book it's published by the french publisher Delcourt and soon it'll be published in others countries.

I like it! The inking is very good, and so are your colours, they fit very well and get the mood across.
There's an awful lot of white space however. I guess because they are first few pages, the story needs to be explained, but all those rectangles along with the frame make the composition of the whole page a bit stiff. The second page is already better, with the text balloons 'breaking' the straight lines. What also bugs me, which is probably only because of the lack of text, is that on the second page the action jumps from the knights to the assassins and then back to the writing man again. Is he writing these things down?

Beautiful!
I know you only did the colors, but all of it looks great.
Post more if you've got them.

Nice. Very nice.

My French is so rusty to the point of being seized shut completely. But am I right in thinking this is about the Cathars? Perhaps the Albigensian Crusade even?

Would love to see more pages, if possible :)
