After 3 years of work, we have finally announce the game, It is a real pleasure to, at last, be able to show what I'm working on since more than 3 years!

REMEMBER ME
Dontnod entertainment / Capcom

S.A.B.R.E force Enforcer.
Sabre Force assume the role of police in 2084. Their speciality is fast and non-deadly intervention whilst reserving the more dangerous tasks for their mechanised partners. We still wouldn't pick a fight with them though...
One of the many characters that I have designed for the game.
photoshop cs4 and sketchup was used for the typo.

Forest demon

learning Zbrush to ad another soft to my Concept art pipeline. Zbrush is an AWESOME soft. hard at the first look, it became more and more confortable after some hours of use.

Little rendering passes with my demon forest. several render with Z brush and the BPR and compositing by using Photoshop.
just to try differents things and differents methods for my concept art pipeline.
personnal piece - Zbrush4 and photoshop CS4

Si jamais cela vous intéresse vous pouvez télécharger l'interview au format pdf. Bonne lecture à vous.

oops I did it again...

oops I did it again...
Yesterday I was so lucky to met an amazing guy, Michael Shanks aka Daniel Jackson in the Stargate TV show. He was in paris for the Paris manga/sci fi show this week end and it was a blast to see him in real and talk to him.
he's a really nice guy, always smiling and be interrested in what you're sayin and all.
I think I'm a fucking lucky bastard because last year I have met Christopher Judge and now him, as an hardcore fan of the Stargate-verse you can understand why i'm saying that i'm a Lucky guy =)



like for Christopher last year I have made a painting for him inspired by the Abidos clothe design and the RA necklace from the movie (but you can see it also in the tv show). hope you will like it =)

ADRIFT CONCEPT ART - DONTNOD ENTERTAINMENT

Hi,
I can show now one of many concept that I have done from Dontnod entertainment, hope you will like it ! : )
collaboration with Michel Koch.

Neo-Paris 2084,

Augmented reality and memory manipulation have taken control of peoples’ lives.

You can now digitize, buy, sell or trade your own personal memories. The last remainders of intimacy have been swept away, in what appears to be a simple extension of the development of social networks and geolocation at the beginning of the 21st century.
The “surveillance society” has been accepted by the citizens themselves, in exchange for a few technological benefits. It is a reality that no one even thinks of challenging anymore.

This memory-based economy gives an immense yet uncontrollable power to a handful of people…

Sucker Punch Contest

Hey everyone
hope you're doing well.

this is my entry for the Sucker punch contest here in france.
we have to make a picture inspired by the univers of the movie so I have created a New girl and a new "bad guy" for that.
Her name's PAINKILLER, and I guess you will find out why héhé.
you can vote for my submissionon the website of the contest here

http://www.mysuckerpunch.fr/

I really need your support again to helping me to reach the top of this contest.
hope you will like it.

thanks again ;)

contest "talent house" with the stan lee fondation

Hey pals
hope you're all doing well!
today I need your help

you may know that Talent House and the Stan lee fondation (with Mc Farlane) organise a big contest on creating a super hero...your own super hero in fact.
And the winner will have the honor to meet the great Stan Lee and Todd Mc farlane and to pass ONE day in the mc farlane studio... his super hero will become an action figure in a very limited serie...
as a marvel geek it was obvisous that I will try to participate to this contest.

I have post my lionnide character as "the Lionnide protector" with a little background story and I will need, if you are okay, all your support to help me on this battle =)

it's not time consuming, it will take you only 25 seconds to vote but it will help me a lot.

thanks you very much in advance for your support !

Jaffa KREE !!!

This week end I have met maybe one of the kind man that I have ever met.
Christopher is that guy who, when you see him you are impressed by what emanates from him. you don't want to piss him of, I assure you that haha!
But in fact he's a really kind and smart man, very humble and always smilling and listenning with attention what you are saying to him.
I was lucky enough to see him the both days of his stay in Paris and to speak for a loooong time with him about his next projects and all.

I have to admit, I'm also a fucking stargate nerd! I'm in love for this franchise since the first film in 1994 and i have never stoped to love the stargate univers and i'm dying to work one days on it (hope the franchise will survive)
so met christopher AKA TEAL'C was priceless

I have made for him this painting, it's a prestigious jaffa armor, I have redesign some part of it to be more fonctionnal and to reflect his hight rank in the free jaffa nation...if you don't like stargate you will not understand what i'm talking about but neverminds :)

Thanks Christopher for you kindness

Zbrush 4 test

hey gang.

wanted to show you a little sketche concept. My first time ever on Zbrush4. It's an AMAZING soft, I think I will use it more often to help me in my pipeline production.
of course the soft can be a little bit frustrating because the interface is not very optimized but after a little shearch it's ok.
first sculpt concept... about 10 hours hope you like it
more to come soon.

new stuff part3

this is my first attempt to 3D sculping. I had never touched this kind of stuff before, not even in "real" sculpture. it was really fun to do it, it's like a speed modelling.
I have used sculptris, it a really fun software, and reaaaaaally easy to use.
about 5 hours for this head. can't wait to use it again =)

and some better version for two of my characters.
yes the face of the girl is based on the face of an actress but can't remember her name.



hope you like.

new stuff part2

some characters explorations
from sketche to finished version.

some new stuff part1

it's been a little while since my last updated. it's time to post some new stuff now, I have a "lot" of thing but i will need, i think, 2 or 3 post to doing it.
since some month i'm working a lot on character exploration at works and it is really fun.
this is some chara design doing after work, just for fun.
hope you like.
