    I love the film noir feeling. The lighting and build up of tension is amazing

    Verrrryy cool. It's nice to see some new stuff from you ! I got engrossed in the story pretty quick but felt with annoyance like I hit the "Mute" button in the middle there. But hey, I'll be patient !
    Btw, nice building name..

    Love the building dynamics. All that perspective work whew. Nice variety of viewpoints. How long did it take to put these together?

    I also wish I could speak french.

    this is amazing, i love the the atmosphere, its perfectly done. the rain really put us in the mood, the rooftops are very cinema-ish... I would definatly want to have your book in my collection (plus im already a big fan of your artwork...)

    but i cant stop laughing about this line:

    "ouais ben, je vais quand meme te raconter ce qui m'est arriver..."

    hehe, thats just a great excuse for story telling!

    hahaha the sign on the first page says "sparth" yeh? are you a friend....or an admirer???

    Your work is very professional and top notch. One thing that caught my eye was when the protagonist is shaving with the blade the 2 shots are of the same shot of him shaving, one is just zoomed in. Feels like your somehow cheating the reader by using a frame twice (your totally not, it just spoils the rhythm of it). Maybe a shot of him scraping one way, then a shot of him scraping back the other way would look smoother u know?

    Great use of depth of field too in the action scenes.

    Fantastic fantastic stuff.

    Tres bien.
    Merci merci merci!!!

    I absolutely love this. I love the texture and I love the buildings, everything is wonderful. I would really like to see how you created parts of this, especailly the textures. It looks like it was all done in photoshop, but I could be wrong. My only crit is on the close up of the hand pointing one, it doesnt seem as well done as everything else.

    wtf?! I just noticed your signature, I've been to your website a dozen times, and saved almost all of the images to my inspiration folder. I saw it a long time ago, and remembered the site, but couldn't remember which user you were....

    one of my CA favorites!

    where is the "bengal" ?

    It looks and feels great, do you work alone if so, how long does it take to make such a thing.

    Ya know whats funny. I've read so much mangas in the past that i started reading your comic from right to left and couldn't understand the hell out of it, took me three pages to find out something didn't fit well.
    My dick isn't small. Its just foreshortened

    really nice pages, i like them alot
    the color is cool and the motion scenes are brilliant. my fav panel is the window-jump, just amazing... and like the others said the movie atmosphere and the whole feeling is very well captured.

    Beatiful work...one problem though on 2nd panel its shown that cops are breaking through door from hallway right into the washroom?...I've never seen hotels that have acces from hallway right into the washroom then into the bedroom or sinks in a living room.

    i didn't notice it the first time but after reading Form's post, and looking over it again - i have to agree with him.

    seems like there's a good point in knowing french after all
