I thought this was a neat, sepia-like piece, what with it's effective pen-like line shading, and a quasi-fairytale-like interaction of light and shadow. Could be a wimmelbilder, I reckon.
It comes from a book I've just started, Ye, in which Brasilian talent Petreca seems to handle almost every aspect of the book's creation.
---> a high-detail version of the art is here, as long as Imgur can manage to hang on to it <---
About the book, I can't give any sort of review yet, but here's what BDT had to say:
One of his generation's most talented comic book writers, Guilherme Petreca offers us "Ye", a cauldron of references to the inner-workings of his own mind. It tells the story of a young mute who goes in search of healing.
This fantastic, poetical work shows us Ye's learning journey, set during his transition from adolescence to adulthood. We encounter pirates and monsters, a retiring accordionist, and even a drunken clown*, all in a world full of nightmarish dangers and misadventures. But all this will eventually lead him to Miranda, an old healing witch with 'a thousand eyes.'
(N.B.-- not a JohnnyEnzyme reference in this case)
