The panel is from tome 3 “Le Rige.” I liked artist Régis Loisel’s ligne claire here, particularly the hatching, shadows and line-work on the mounted beasts. Also, the composition is nicely framed, balancing foreground & background elements with some lush colors, and inverts the typical lighting / shading scheme.
“Roxanna” is ostensibly a ‘swords & sorcery’-type series, but there’s an unusual, interesting background with our two heroes, i.e. Roxanne and her father, Bragon. I hope to do a proper review one of these days…
Ah, is that right? Hey-- if you get a chance, could you post here some of your favorite Régis Loisel stuff?
Sadly, I haven’t seen much of his stuff, mainly because when I was younger, I couldn’t read French at all. :/
