Description now that the French Crow 4 is officially out, I can show you this illustration I did for it!
so it was thought as a Variant cover for the story "Le Sang des Innocents" illustrated By
what they told me from the story was that the Cyber Crow was a machine made to fight destroy and possibly kill the French Crow, and that it was happening in Paris!
so when I heard that, I only thought of one thing :

Superman / Doomsday!
I love this illustration the way Dan captured this moment right before they both give the last punch!
so I decided that I had to do something like that!
(now that I see it, my French Crow have even the same pose than superman...)
I did not really work on the French Crow, I mean I had some design from Vinz, and I like the way he was, very slim, almost a woman body, so I decided not to change the hero
I had much more fun with the Cyber crow, it is very different from vinz's design, I basically only Kept the face,
for the body I made Him much higher much bigger, much more robotic! (I mixed a bit of Iron Man and Terminator in there!) I wanted him to be scary for the crow as much as doomsday is for superman.
and for Paris... well, I did what I do best... Backgrounds

you can buy the book here for about 13$:

and please let me know what you think!

How in the hell do you get the buildings like that?
and where'd you learn proportion?

I don't know! I just picture 'em in my head and draw 'em
What do mean for the proportion? The background proportion? Or caractheres?

Once again I don't... I red my brother's med school books when I was a kid so that learned me about anatomie, after that for the proportion it takes mainly practice and other books... My first tings were really wrongs... But then with practice... Drawing everyday, and see your mistakes, and everytime make a better thing than what you did before!
It's a long learning process, but once you are "done" ( you are never... You always learn), you can do like I did on this piece, and cheat a bit with the proportions to make it looks better as a illustration, for exemple you might have saw that the french crow's shoulder are slightly off, and desarticulated, it was made to be make him look more round and a bit unsymetrical (more human basicaly) compared with the machine.


Sorry for the possible typos, it's 5:35 am and I'm on my I phone

Hope that helped you!
Take care,
Sim.
