Eurocomics / Franco-Belgian Storytime

Phil, you're always incognito. It's just another word for not using a trip/name :^) "Absent" on the other hand...

Also, reporting in.

I'll probably release this next wednesday, the second volume, telling a parallel story from the point of view of an ambitious human official, has been translated, just got the typesetting, all 100+ pages of it, left to do.

I also have one volume of Jour J and one volume of Wonderball typeset, but it's not been proofread yet.

>>92165998
Frog here. I can help.

>>92165998
Does he fuck in this volume or is thet in volume 2?

Hey, phil!
Do you perhaps plan to translate Satanie?

>>92166164
I was actually going to reply to you, saw your earlier comment searching the archive for my name (like a proper narcissist) on the shitter this morning.

The answer is probably no, since the last few Kerascoet books have been translated officially fairly recently I think there's a good chance we'll get a release, so it'll be far down my list. I thought I saw a post on this facebook group 'Eurocomics USA invasion' saying that it got picked up for an English translation, but I can't find it now.

I suppose I might as well use this thread for another comic that's not been proofread. The D-day one, since it's the first volume, unlike Wonderball.

This series is a collection of alternate histories, and not just the usual Germans win WW2 ones, we've got stuff like Napoleon's empire lasting through to the 1900s with the help of Tesla tech, a spy adventure in Paris, which has taken berlin's place when the D-day landings get bogged down and Da Vinci making weapons for the Mamluks.

This one has Vlad Tepes helping the Byzantines out in the siege of constantinople.

>>92166073
>mundus nostrum catillum est

Wonder if this will be relevant at some point. Anyhow, I have commenced proofing.

printing error - you've got English and French overlapping here.

>>92169918
Damn, I always do that, he's saying:

>No, you won't be queen.
>You're not worth it. I'll keep mine.

As in, you don't suck giant dong as well as she does

>>92169838
I think you're right, at least it first the theme of the first 2 dozen pages.

Unsurprisingly, most of my notes so far are on the essay pages.

>>92168222
Thank you for the story.

>>92170064
Yeah, kinda what I expected, sorry for making you go through those.

>>92171837
Eh, the other pages doesn't have much text so it evens out. I should be done with the first in a couple hours at most. I'll probably save the other one for tomorrow.

>>92165998
Thanks a lot OP!! I've been wanting to read it ever since I saw some art from it on tumblr. It's great!

Halfway through the pages, but only two essays left.

>>92165998
bumping to read later and to thank OP for eurocomic storytimes generally, and to test my 4chan connection errors

Vlad's a pretty cool guy after all.

Thanks for the stories!

~30 pages to go, including the last essay.

Should be done within the hour.

>>92176521
Thanks a lot man, there's no rush.

>>92168203
That was pretty good, thanks for the story time.

I struggled with this, I want to keep the nicely done title, but I want people who don't know French at all to know what petit means.

003
lol, oops, that's what I get for just duping layers for positioning.

009
I think I may have just been mistranslating, avorton can mean runt too, so I'll go with that.

022
The French says the family, I think in universe petit's mum is writing the book.
Yup
I don't know about the art vs. her art, I think it changes the meaning somewhat, because it seems the giants don't appreciate any art at all, besides colossal architecture. Will consider.
Yeah, I think I'll say something like thus she decided.
Nah, I think it's on show as in just chained up so she can't move.

023
as above

024
Agreed with most. However apartments is a somewhat old fashioned way to refer to living spaces within a royal castle, for example the State Apartments at Windsor castle. Whether does correctly have an h. Similarly, of one's own accord is correct. https://en.oxforddictionaries.com/definition/of_one's_own_accord

031
Agreed

032
I prefer arm, fitting with the survival analogy, arm him with the metaphorical tools required. It's also what the French uses.

038
I think in that time is okay, since it's saying that then they had no inkling of his true nature, but soon they would.
Again bending the knee is an old fashioned way to say it, used on game of thrones too.
Both of or on are acceptable in this situation afaik.
I'll consider it, I think it might be meant to be stiff desu.
Hmm, I thought messire was used in English too, apparently not, my lord it is.

039
Yeah heartbeat's better you're right.
I think either's okay, well knew just isn't used that much, but we still use well-known all the time.
I think that's better yes.
Prefer glide personally, I think glide captures it being momentary only.
That's what the French says.

>>92177926
045
Oops

058
I've seen recopy in relation to monks and manuscripts that's why I used it here, but yeah, you might be right, will consider.

076
Yes agreed, I didn't make the change when copying in.
I think that's okay, as he thinks himself immortal and the rest seem to be similarly egotistical.
huh, really messed up the cleaning there.
Yeah I agree that's better.
I like this, more oldy-woldy.

080
Honestly, my screen on this old laptop is so dirty I can't tell if something's on my screen or the page!
Agreed.
I think vault is good, it's an architectural feature common in the gothic style I think this is going for.

099
Yes, thanks!

124
Yes, that's a lot better.

>>92177959
141
I think I meant to write throw, but it corrected to this? Iunno, will correct though.

146
Agreed with all, but I like it was therefore. Again, more old style.

148
lol, brainfart.
No, it's meant to mean his worst instincts were made even worse. Perhaps indulged?
All others agreed except boundless ferocity, i want it to be with the barely tempered bit.

156
I guess I was just too turned on by it.

174
Yeah, oops.

Big thanks again, mate.

If this thread's gone, I presume you'll put corrections in a pastebin on the win'o?

As usual, I don't do punctuation unless it's gamebreaking, but there's quite a few commas that should have been dots in this one.


002
maybe move the Colours and Translation lines up a smidge so there's even spacing between all the lines or just move Translation up a smidge so it's the same distance as between Colours and Cover


009
p4 b1
must forget everything -> must ignore everything else
i know what it's meant to convey but i don't like the wording. i don't like my wording either but i can't come up with something better. "exclude" might be a viable substitute


011
p1 b2
leave me, alone -> leave me alone,


021

w ord -> word

i have left horses -> i have horses ready

i'm assuming he's adressing Vlad directly, since he's the king/general

goatskin
i'm fairly certain that should be a bladder or stomach, probably the writer that borked that one

p8
had any sense of family -> cared about (my) family / had any scrouples with/about (my) family

This was pretty good, thanks op.

>>92201734
002
I normally try to make them even, guess I fucked up the counting on the down arrow key presses this time.

009
Maybe something like empty your mind? Some Bruce Lee type junk.

Agree with the rest, except:

023
1) Maybe 'hidden horses for us'?
2) It's meant to be like 'he doesn't have enough [swords] in his service to ignore mine' I'm not quite happy with it, but I feel like if I change it to your suggestion, it'll make it seem like Vlad's threatening the emperor.

025
Throat cutter actually is it's name, I'll pretend I knew that, rather than just finding it out googling for this book.
>The fortress, designed by architect Müslihiddin, was initially called "Boğazkesen", literally meaning "The Strait Cutter", referring to the Bosporus Strait. The name carries a secondary and more macabre meaning; as boğaz not only means strait but also "throat" in Turkish.
Sick wordplay, Turks.

>>92201839
I'll just highlight the ones I don't agree with or need commenting on, that seems easier

035
Councils do have sessions, for example a session of the UN security council. It's totes a thing.

043
It's plural to begin with, I guess Vlad's buddy's doing well for himself.

052
I feel like the first one has more of an ongoing sense.

053
The word in French is outre, which is like a leather bag used to hold liquid, in English known as a wineskin if it's for holding wine and a goatskin if it's made of goat. Admittedly I don't know what this thing's made of. Maybe I should say it's filled with air?
