Cathair Mùndi was a video game project I made for my diploma... and I decided to adapt it into a comic book. Here a test page I haven't finished: there is a vignette (I don't find the english word) I haven't drawn. I don't think I'll finish it: I prefer make another one.
I don't like the colors and the drawing, I would like it would be more understandable, more clear, with less elements, less colors... so I think I'll make another one. I would like something between the Wakfu and the Sky Doll design.

Cathaïr Mùndi is a engaged comic book that takes place in an oriental steampunk world with immigrant heroes... The main story talks about the fight between the Sidhe (the world of the Deads) and the Living Cathaïr Mùndi but the background refers to serious subjects like the overconsumption or the racism and its prejudices...

The 19th century in Europe is a "social" century, many social movements, revolutions and utopias are born in this century. Communism, Anarchism, Mutualism, with many fabulous philosophers like Karl Marx or Joseph Proudhon... I never understood why the other steampunk creations, (steampunk novels, comic books etc... ) don't really talk about these interesting movement: they really represent the 19th century!!!

Thanks! I think I'll try to publish it in France (English translation takes to much time, and I don't know how to contact editors from other countries... Then I'm not sure American publishers would like the "socialist" background of Cathaïr Mùndi!^^)

Fantastic Work Catell, I can't wait to see more.

Thanks! I'll try to make other pages, to present this project to the editors to the Festival d'Angoulême (the French comicon) in January... I hope they'll like it!

Best of luck.

Oh I finished the Sky Doll book, it was pretty good, though I think they might have reduced the size of the comic, because there where moments where it look a bit odd.

~Catell-Ruz Aug 18, 2010 Professional Digital Artist

Absolutly right! Now they want to publish a fourth and last comic, but if remember well, at the beginning, they wanted to make a trilogy...

!I-Joe-Writer Aug 18, 2010

I can see that.
They also just released one of the side story issue last week, I haven't bought it yet, but I might. Looking through it, it seems to be about the two sisters of the two religions.

Le mot pour vignette en anglais serait "panel". La différence est assez étrange, mais pour une fois je suis content que le sujet de mon cours de français cette année était les bandes dessinées.

~Catell-Ruz Aug 15, 2010 Professional Digital Artist

Aaah, merci c'est parfait... Vous avez des cours de français intéressants au Canada! Si seulement les nôtres pouvaient être aussi biens (au lieu de voir toujours les mêmes vieux auteurs de littérature!!!)...^^

~Felix-Cattus-GUILTY Aug 15, 2010

J'aurais aimé avoir eu un peu plus de lecture à faire XD C'était un cours assez ennuyant si tu avais actuellement un interet dans la langue >.>

~Alceea Aug 8, 2010

It looks really good! I can't wait to read more

Hmmm, as for vignette, we do use that word in english (rarely though!) but it refers to a small story. I don't know exactly what you were thinking of, perhaps a panel? I also don't know too much about comic books to help you...:S
But it looks amazing!
