Although illustration is my job, the creation of an independent manga is not remunerated at all. I chose to focus all my energy on IllusFairy for 6 months, which meant refusing any new client projects during this period. With the time it takes to draw the details on each page, it was impossible for me to illustrate alongside. I really want to have the time to create a beautiful book that I will be proud of, and that you will enjoy reading.

It's a big risk that honestly, totally freaks me out, but having illustrated a lot "just to make a living" with all the pressure that comes with being a freelancer, it was important for me to get back to this project I love with all my heart. Below are some previews of the first French volume, to give you an idea of how this second volume (in French too), may look like.

Exceeding the 3000€ goal would allow me to cover the legal fees collected on the campaign (+24%), and then to be actually paid for the hours of work invested on this manga, without having to wait for the first sales.

I am convinced that crowdfunding is a great way to create beautiful projects, without intermediaries, between readers and creators.

So, are you ready to join the adventure? 😊
