Before becoming the Official Making-of-Rage website, Rage Website was dedicated to my search for a penciler. A lot of artists have sent me tryouts, hoping to become Rage’s penciler or simply to be published in one of the galleries. At the time, I included comments about their sketches right under the artwork in the gallery. You can find all the images they sent me in the Artists Gallery, but I thought they all deserved a special page, so here it is! Artists are listed in alphabetical order.

Click any of the names to access the Artists Gallery, showcasing studies from every artist who has at one time participated in the Rage Project. You can send your artworks at this address.

Angélique Joao
Angélique is a painter who was willing to give a try at comic books. Her rendition of Queen Gelda has stayed for long in the first place in the Tryouts gallery. For more info about Angélique (and even more of her Art), go to this site.

Chriss
Excellent with colors and a promising penciler, Chriss currently works on his new project, Aletheia. For more info about Chriss (and more sketches!), go to this site.

 

Elton Thomasi
Excellent inker and a promising painter, Elton has assisted Thony for the creation of the first Rage, Bane of Demons Graphic Novel. For more info about Elton (and more sketches!), click his DeviantART link.
 

Franck Lebas
From time to time, in a fit of egocentrism, I google my name followed by "Rage Web Site" or "Rage website". Just to check if someone is talking about my site. And the first time I did this, I discovered… that someone did! For real! That's how I discovered the blog Le Lézard graphique. Too bad this blog has since disappeared! Thanks, Franck!

Grégory Floch
Grégory Floch is the first artist to tackle directly Rage's panels, and one of the few to have drawn Rage right away. Curiously, Rage seemed to intimidate most of the other artists, who seemed to prefer drawing the other characters. For more info about Grégory (and more sketches!) go to Le Blog de Grégory Floch.

Khain
Khain is a digital artist who began his career soon after the launch of the Rage Website. His paintings have since been seen in a few places in Toulon and La Seyne. For more info about Khain (and more sketches!) connect to Art’s.Kan.

Loïc Canuel
Loïc Canuel is the penciler with whom I began the Rage graphic novel, nearly twenty years ago, and he is one of the best designers I know! Loïc has drawn three characters studies… before changing his mind and working on something else. For more info about Loïc… huh… well, if you know where he is, contact me…

Marcel Morote
Surprise in my mailbox! This time a real profesional is writing to ask if he could participate in the project! And only a few months after the site's launch! It's e-mails like this that made me believe in my project. Thanks Marcel:) For more info about Marcel, connect to his BD Gest’ file.

MiRagE
One of the most enthusiastics of Rage's artists, MiRagE is also the one who helped the most. His color version of Rage which at the time was the closest to what I had in mind, has decorated the Home page for a long time. Thanks MiRagE:) For more info about Mirage (and more sketches!) connect to MiRagE Arts.

Okii Shirow
Okii is the first penciler to have drawn cartoon versions of the Rage characters! And he did it professionally too! I love what he did with Torg! For more info about Okii (and more sketches!), click his DeviantART link.

Relg
Some time after my first post to the CFSL.net forum, I have had the pleasant surprise to find two drawings of my characters in an answer to the post. These have been the very first illustrations to be displayed in the galleries! Thanks Relg!

Shannon Sapenter
Shannon is one of the most talented penciler of the Rage Website. He nailed Rage right the first time, as well as the mood of the story… and then he disappeared! For more info about Shannon (and more sketches!), click his DeviantART link.

Stéphane Degardin
Surprise in my mailbox! The return of a penciler with whom I have worked years ago on at least three projects. And Rage has inspired him! His versions of Mark and Nicodemus are totally great! I couldn't let this occasion pass, so now we are working on a Rage side story. You will know more about it as soon as it is finished.

Wamberto Nicomedes
Illustrator and comic book writer, Wamberto actually helped Thony with the colors of Rage's first graphic novel. His renditions of Rage and Nicodemus are great! And I have to say having Nicodemus sketches drawn by a guy whose name is Nicomedes is… very special. For more info about Wamberto (and more sketches!), connect to his blog.
