Video of Ana Miralles Creating the Gorgeous Art for her Series Djinn Written by Jean Defaux

Djinn tells the story of a young woman looking into her long lost grandmother's past as a concubine in a harem in the 19th century. The series is beautifully illustrated by Ana Miralles and written by Jean Defaux. This video shows her working her magic, creating the beautiful watercolor art for the comic in her studio. Enjoy ;)

  • That was great! Thank you for sharing. <3

    Watching that creation-process was like a meditation of sorts. A meditation set to... Chopin, or Mussorgsky, was it? (daggit, I'm good at enjoying classical piano, but not much good with the proper names)

    Haha, it also kind of highlights to me how much I enjoy, yet despise watercolor. I mean, I absolutely adore* the look of it and the creation process, but actually DOING THE WORK can be such an utter, pain-in-the-arse, and we even get a sense of that in the video.

    Annnnnywaaaaaay, Djinn happens to be one of my very favorite works, by one of my very favorite writers, Jean Defaux. I'm really not sure why he's not talked about more across the BD-sphere, as the bloke is just a straight-up genius IMO.

    I have like a thousand* more thoughts upon this, but on top of grieving Cal's loss, I need to get some critical paperwork done.

    I am so, SO, very thankful to you @wolfinthewoods@lemmy.ml for stepping up like this.
