My work : I’ve been a novelist for more than 10 years, and have published fifteen works in both France and abroad. Within Studio Gothika, my work consists of creating stories and writing them.
Occasionally, I also color using the computer, do backgrounds, DTP (Desktop Publishing) and graphic editing (retouch) since I was a graphic designer for several years before becoming a writer. Though the other two members of the Studio do all this for me when I need it, I try to assist them when necessary.
Fell into manga because… I enjoy its dynamic, the cut-out process and …the thickness! I would suffocate in a comic of 40 or 50 pages with square boxes, and the formal ban to break the established « rules », or to take out the frames.
Work Methods : I always begin with a synopsis, then a more detailed synopsis, followed by chapter by chapter decomposition. Finally, I end with boards and a script for each panel.
Like… Creating new characters and giving them a past and history.
Hate… How some people intellectualize manga because they’re afraid to look a little bit stupid.
Would like… to work on a scenario for an anime, just out of curiosity.
