Concept Art & Sketches

Sketches and concept arts are for me an essential first step before any final production. To be carried out, these preparatory drawings require lengths of time that can vary widely. For example :

Between 10 and 30 minutes for a complex sketch
A realistic drawing in one try can take from 30 minutes up to an hour
A prop or character sketching on another hand takes usually around 10, 15 minutes

Most of the following sketches were drawn with a pentel pen or, for the last two, with a Lavis. I did most of the other concept arts on the computer, using a Wacom Intuos 4.

On the trail of the Thunderbird

Here are a few glimpses on a comic book project I’ve been working on in my spare time for the past two years. We’re following a young Shamane, «From-The-Sky», as she travels through the provinces of the First Nations of North America, on a quest to awaken the Tunderbird and ask for his help in repelling the invaders from the seas who threaten to destroy and rob these peoples who have always lived on their lands (2023)

Krocus crown digitalization process

Concept art process for the Krocus crown of the soon to be "Krowns" boardgame from Random Therapy studio. This work began with the real sculpt modeling of the crown by "Hay Dee Toys". Lory Aline Cherpit then scanned the sculpt in 3D and refined it. I could finally use the 3D model to draw the surrounding environment, add details to the crown and add lighting.
