Gwendal Lemercier was born in 1977 in Brittany, he studied applied arts and obtained a BTS Design Graphic Designer. A graduate in art from the Beaux Arts de Brest, he worked as an illustrator in 1998 in the book l'imaginaire celtique, at Mira.
At the same time, he joined the Soleil and Delcourt editions to adapt Breton and Scottish tales Les Contes de l'Ankou and Les Contes des Hautes Terres into comics. He then collaborated in the production of the video game "Heroes 5" at Ubisoft, participated in two other collective works, one devoted to the city of Brest and the other to the liner Normandy.
In the Soleil Celtic collection, he produced an illustrated book on dragons and then a dark fantasy comic book series: Les Arcanes d'Alya. He accompanies the series The Twilight of the Gods with a one-shot and joins his screenwriter to start a new series entitled: Durandal, the story of Roland and Charlemagne in a genre combining history.
The fact of having traveled through this last universe from Scandinavian mythology to the Viking invasions in Brittany has made it possible to bring together a small collection of paintings and drawings. This gave rise to a collaboration with the Galerie Oblique in Paris and the museum of the former abbey of Landévénnec to develop the exhibition on the theme: “Brittany, the Vikings and comic strips: myths and realities”.
In June 2014, the Charlemagne comic strip was released by Glénat editions. The same year, he participated in two other series published by Soleil. The project that occupies him currently is a series on the history of Brittany: with a first volume based on the events of the 9th century.
