Neyef began his career at Ankama, a French studio known for its creative projects, with the manga Dofus, a popular fantasy series created by Tot. After working on this project, Neyef started developing his own stories. Run, a prominent figure in the company working in a neighboring office, approached him and offered a contract with Label 619, a publishing house specializing in graphic novels and comics. At Label 619, Neyef refined his storytelling abilities by contributing to anthologies like Doggy Bags, a collection of short, experimental stories. Following a series of short stories and some "medium-length films" — a term used to describe graphic novels of moderate length — he launched two series: Bayou Bastardise, a story set in a Southern American setting, and PutaMadre, a spin-off of Mutafukaz, a popular comic about a group of punk characters. Neyef’s first major work, Hoka Hey!, was a western-style narrative that combined elements of a coming-of-age story with a quest for identity. It was a commercial success and won the Canal BD Prize in 2022, an award recognizing excellence in the graphic novel industry. Four years later, he returned with a new and ambitious album, Les Enfants Perdus (The Lost Children), a reimagining of the Peter Pan myth. In this work, Neyef continued to explore themes of social injustice, marginalized communities, and the complexities of human experience. The story follows a group of six children living in an abandoned suburban area, each dealing with their own personal struggles and quests. Through their journey, the narrative offers a touching and insightful look into their lives, confirming the promise seen in his earlier works. Based in Nantes, France, Neyef is known for being reserved and discreet. During a recent visit to his image workshop, the space reflected his personality — simple, soft, and well-organized, filled with references to his influences. Unlike previous masterclasses hosted by ActuaBD, a French organization that promotes comics and graphic novels, this session did not take place at a large drawing board where Neyef might have kept his techniques private. Instead, he used a digital tablet to demonstrate his creative process. For the audience, who watched the session in video format, Neyef revealed the secrets of his creation with simplicity and humility. Neyef described himself as a "bad teacher," suggesting his approach was more instinctive than methodical. However, his demonstration proved otherwise. His techniques, though seemingly natural, were effective and engaging, almost hypnotic in their simplicity. Through his methods, he showed how creativity can emerge from instinct, offering insight into the process behind his compelling and thought-provoking stories.
