Sorel - Guerrière Nubienne Artist: Guillaume Sorel (Penciller)

Sorel - Guerrière Nubienne

Artist: Guillaume Sorel (Penciller) 
 2008. Published in the artbook “Univers Fantastiques” (Toth Edition, 2012). India ink and colour inks on paper. 50 cm * 65 cm (19.7" * 25.6"). 

Guillaume Sorel was born on March 25th, 1966 in Cherbourg (France). He enters the Arts Appliqués of Lyon before arriving at the Beaux Arts to Paris. He starts his career in the illustration of role-playing games at Oriflam, Casus Belli or still Descartes. It is moreover there that he meets Thomas Mosdi with whom he realizes "L'île des morts". In 1998 he realizes with Mosdi "Amnésia". And for the first time of his career, and certainly the last one, he leaves the realization of colors with a third, and not the slightest, Michel Crespin who brings to light the dark universe of Sorel. At this moment, Sorel shows a radical change of palette and technique of color, becoming some time later a master of light following the example of Crespin and the most fashionable illustrator of its generation. He meets Mathieu Gallié to the festival of Brussels. Their tastes converge around the same centres of interest, Walter Scott, Stevenson … So many elements which meet themselves in Algernon Woodcock's adventures, a fable halfway between the chronicles of a Scottish country doctor and the Celtic imagination. His style is very inspired by the Gothic universe and by the fantasy and plays on the contrast and the torture of colors.
