About the author

For 8 years, I’ve been supporting myself by taking commissions and professional contracts here and there. However, there is not much demand for an artist who does everything with inks and watercolors in this industry nowadays, especially one with zero notions/skills in digital art, no higher-education, and no means to actually buy the supplies (drawing softwares, graphic tablets and good computers aren’t cheap y’all) or take courses for it to be honest. But my main goal has always been to become a comic artist and publish my own graphic novels, and nothing has ever made me stop working towards that.

My Dad built me my first watercolor palette out of an old metal Gitane cigarette box when I was a teenager, and I’m still using it to this day. As a kid, I’d spend all my free time doodling random bits and pieces of stories I didn’t have the words to simply write (I still have all of them taking the dust in giant boxes, probably in my parents’ attic). Before school, after school, during school, at night when i was supposed to be sleeping… I never stopped. When I was around 11 years old, I even drew a (very shitty) giant version of a character who became one of my main QD characters (that you haven’t met yet) on a wall at my parents’ house, she even kept the same name in the final QD draft! I’ll have to take a picture of it one day, can’t believe my parents never scrubbed it off
