So yeah, Ria Vol 2 is done. We finished shortly before the end of 2011, and it will make it's French debut at the comic festival of Angouleme, next weekend.
I realize the pages posted in this preview and on the blog are in english, but I'm afraid Ria is still not published in that language. As far as I know, that is still being worked on. So far it's published in France by Editions Paquet, the Netherlands by Silvester Strips and in Germany by Splitter.
In case any of you make it to Angouleme, be sure to drop by the Paquet booth. Sten (creator of the project) will be there, as will I. Although I won't be behind the booth as frequently. Last year we never got around to checking out ANYTHING other than the back of our booth, so I'll be making up for that this time around.
Storyboards and major development: Thorsten Kiecker (Sten)
Final character line art: Christian Retzlaff and Kaja Reiniki
Backgrounds and character colors: me.
Software used: Photoshop.

That artwork should be the standard when it comes to comic books. It's phenomenal, it the kind of art, the longer you look at it, the more things you pick up from it.

Incredible details! I don't remember to read a comic with such lightning effects and shadows... The 5th painel is a masterpiece!

I really hope these books see print in English someday - everything you've shown of them has been absolutely beautiful, but I'd really love to read the story rather than just saok in the art.
