"La Danse de la Lune" - Comic

One-shot comic published on the magazine “Nuname”, November 2017

This story was born, after many years of my life spent reading novels, from the idea that death always keeps an eye out for its children lost at sea.
In this case, by taking on the appearance of people most dear to him, it gives the boy's soul a chance to solve his pending issues and to have, even for just a brief moment, what he could not have in life.
And thus, death will continue to do so, every night, until the end of time.

Media: digital ink made with Paintool Sai and watercolours.
Colour correction made with PS.

"La Danse de la Lune"

"There was a beautiful moon that night / It was the only thing separating the skyline from the sea with its light"

"That man..."

"...had my father's visage / But I knew that it couldn't possibly be him / The sheer joy of just being alive / filled me with the need to tell him everything"
