Benoît Feroumont (* 28. August 1969 in Aye in Marche-en-Famenne , Belgium ) is a Belgian comic - and animation draftsman .
Life
Benoît Feroumont's interest in film production begins as a teenager when he participates in a film club in Marche-en-Famenne . He also gained experience in drawing and telling stories through an internship.
At the École Saint-Luc in Liège , he began to study illustration and comics and, at the end of his studies, published the 2D animated short film This Strange Zwan Saucisse Suicide in 1991 . He then attended the La Cambre animation school in Brussels. Another film then followed in 1992 with the title Les Gens .
After Feroumont published a few other animated films, the production Bzz was nominated for various national and international awards in early 2000 .
In 2003 he worked in collaboration with Sylvain Chomet on the realization of The Great Race of Bellville , which was also nominated for several film awards.
A few years later Feroumont met Fabien Vehlmann , who convinced him to draw comics parallel to his animation work. Wondertown was his first series with two volumes, which he published in the Belgian comic magazine Spirou . Both albums were also published in French by Dupuis.
In 2009 he began the series Le Royaume , for which he is best known and which so far comprises six volumes.
At Asterix in the Land of the Gods , Benoît Feroumont directed the animation, directed by Louis Clichy and Alexandre Astier.
In 2016 Feroumont's first album will be released in German. It is about the Spirou and Fantasio special band Fantasio marries , for whom he made text and drawings.
