Glad you enjoyed!
Is there any particular genre of GN that you like?
I've always been a huge fan of James Gurney's work on the Dinotopia series. His work got me into watercolor and oil painting. To me, he's my original love of the medium.
Other than that, I've read series like Berserk, Swamp Thing, Constantine, Watchmen, Umbrella Academy.
I really love the artwork though from these European graphic novels, I want to find more from Valerian, Nausica, and now this Conan work! They always have such excellent artwork, it really surprises me how detailed they are. Usually with a great penmanship.

Huh! My last 'true love' upon such a series was upon the 70's Land of the Lost, directly revealing my age-range, I suppose. But Dinotopia sounds really interesting, so you got me right there!

Really, now?
Speaking as a watercolor artist myself, just... fluffing oils?
Well, separate paintings! He doesn't mix them (as far as I know.
He's got this epic YouTube channel where he does plein-air watercolor and gauche paintings.
Definitely worth checking out if you're a fan of watercolor. He's so talented
Thanks, pal.
I'll check it on my phone.
YT absolutely destroys Firefox, for some reason.
