I HAD to fix it...what do you think ?!?! here's the previous attempt: [link]
this is the first page, one more and hopefully last [??] attempt.
I'm really proud of this page and that doesn't really happens. I do wish I could scan the images properly though, I must do something about it asap !!
Snow: Reflections on Desire and Depravity
“…a daughter of the coven will be her undoing.”
Once upon a time there was a land bound by winter, a land where bloodstains of the deepest scarlet and ravens' feathers, of the blackest ebony, are fallen on snow of the purest white. Oh, you think you’ve heard this story before, somewhere? So how come the mirrors in the castle are refusing reflections? What is that howling noise out there in the darkness? Who has commanded the release of the Seven? And why is the Queen so disturbed?
Snow is a dark and witty exploration of decadence challenged by duty. Building on a subversive deconstruction of classic themes, it’s a sensuous and disturbing story that rips the meat from the bones of what you know, right down to the last bloody scraps.
script: the talented WELSH author Richard McAuliffe
artwork: me-me-me !!
editor/letterer: the amazing Nichola Wilkinson
publisher: my creative family Insomnia Publications
Snow is a long length comic project I just committed to draw and I couldn't be more excited nor terrified !!
enjoy !!

Overall Vision Originality Technique ImpactAnyone can see that a lot of love went into this piece and it is indeed a wonderful establishing shot.
Superb amount of detail, the image is brimming with painstaking pen work. It certainly fills out the page with plenty of places for the eye to explore. I do adore the gnarled wood trees and the texture of the snow.
The composition is effective in drawing the straight to the heart of the page, on to the central structure. The gradient of warm colours fading into colder ones also helps focus the readers eyes onto the centre of the page. Particularly with the greenish hues picking out the details of the building, it gives it a prominent presence.
My main gripe is that the values are off with the picture. Due the heavy contrast of light and dark, there's very little grey area in the transition of the shading. This unfortunately means that there a loss of definition. Meaning the outstanding details are lost in the image. With a little more subtle shading
Overall, a powerful piece that certainly opens the comic with a lot of atmosphere, bravo!
