Tarkhan Skullkiller [Inktober 2018]

Hi everyone!

October is coming!
And when we talk about October it means

What is the Inktober?
It is an international drawing event founded by Jake Parker in 2009.
It is a challenge that invites any artist to make an inked drawing per day throughout the month of October. Hence the name Inktober.
Each year Jake Parker proposes a list of themes (one theme per day) that everyone is free to follow or not.
The objective is to practice drawing and inking daily.

I did it last year and I followed the themes and put as much as possible of the characters or settings from my comics in each of the illustrations.

Sample of my illustrations of the Inktober 2017

You can find an overview of all the drawings I made last year on deviantArt. I couldn't do it every day.

This year I will not follow the themes.
This year I am embarking on a new challenge.
I'm going to try to make one comic page per day.
And for that reason I am launching on a new project, a new story especially designed for the occasion.

This new adventure is called:

I have not the final version of the logo yet.

I will not be alone on this project. My friend Marialexie, who will also be present for in Normandiebulle, is in charge of writing the script while I am exclusively in charge of the drawings.

This is a classic dark fantasy adventure.

Tarkhan, a brutal and bloody warrior, is the last hope against the skeletons army which is attacking SternBerg's kingdom.

For the moment, it is considered as a one-shot.

This is Tarkhan, our gruff barbarian.

Some character designs.

I had been thinking for months about a project especially for the Inktober. The objective was to force me to adapt my working methods to be more productive without compromising quality.
I also wanted a project where I could enjoy drawing quickly without systematically pushing myself out of my comfort zone. (All these ships, all these tourists, all these Parisian streets...)

And a few weeks ago I started listening to Rhapsody of Fire again.
What? You don’t know Rhapsody of Fire?
Take a look at this playlist then. You will please me. :p

So I started to dream of muscular warriors, shining swords and dragons breathing flames.
And while talking with Marialexie, we both expressed the desire to tell these kinds of stories. Just to have fun. No headache or pressure. With the good retro touch of the 70s and 80s that goes well.
That's when we agreed to create Tarkhan Skullkiller. =D

So let's jump together into our comfort zone! =D

We will publish this story the same way as Space Wizard McKcarell: an early access of pages without watermark and uncensored for patrons and a publication delayed by one month for others, with censorship (if needed) and watermark.

So that's it for the big news of this very special month that is October.

Have nice day and see you very soon! =D
