RE: 🎨 The making of spaceships with watercolour | Part I: Space

Sure, I am totally fan of Druillet, got almost all his books. I have been lucky to see some of his original works in a big "Metal Hurlant" show last year in Belgium, they are huge, in both sense of the term!

Cool, I bought Salammbô III while on holiday in France as a kid back in the eighties. It was a treasure. I knew of nobody that had such a strange thing.

I only bought and found them in flea-markets quite recently as I wasn't collecting them earlier.

Indeed Druillet keeps being one of the only to do comics that way. Nobody even dares to do that kind of crazy, time consuming compositions today, most creators seem afraid it wouldn't sell. There's a strong dogma of economic rentability that's constraining creativity, even in the world of arts and comics. Sad, as I don't want this tradition to disappear.
