Temple of the Seven Golden Camels bengal's archives Luminae vol.1 has now been printed, and release date is set on september 15th. in a couple days, i shall show you the pencils, or even the complete image for the cover. i'm not sure it works well as a cover, that's what happens when you debate with the publisher for everyone to be satisfied about the choice of an image... anyway, i'm happy with the book, i have no idea what it's worth as there's many new parameters for me in this project compared to previous ones, and i count on readers to give me their opinion. aside from that, the scenario for the spiderman piece i was supposed to achieve almost 3 years ago has been reworked and finished and i could have good news soon about it. hopefully, i will finally finish it and get it released someday. crossing fingers. more soon.
