European Comics Recommendation: stronge female leads
Regis Loisel is often referred to as a master of the fantasy genre within European circles (and outside) with his quintet (now septet) of ‘the quest for the timebird’
(Often compared to ‘lord of the rings’ original title: la Quête de l’Oiseau du Temps)
In which Roxanne a willful young woman -in search of a cure for her mother the queen-
enlists a band of ragtag warriors with shady pasts in order to help her navigate the treacherous jungles.
The first story arc (books 1-5) have so much sub-themes I could take up this post alone explaining why I like it.
The most important reason for me is that the story is character driven.
Aside from this fact: crazy chimerean fauna designs. a ‘balrog whip’ and truly evil bad guy,
who has their own good motivation for being the big bad and everyone wins (or loses) in the end.

Teaching yourself (everything) part 1.
So you flunked out of art-school because of the politics, the high cost of materials, not to mention your living (accommodations) or your own stubbornness. Yes I mean you.
The Good news:
You are free to follow your own curiosity
Time is your own
The Bad
No-one (except those that love you) will tell you to get to things done now or die forgotten.
You are going to have to find your own art critic(s) among your sisters and brothers in the Arts.
And that paper saying you turned in your exercises in on time?
fuggedabout it.
Your portfolio and work ethics are the single piece on which any client will judge you.
