Fluffy Baby Camel

And here's the fluffy baby camel: obviously not one of the hot North African deserts, this guy belongs to cold mountains, Mongolia, perhaps.

I've thought it could be interesting to add the original sketch as a comparison base...

And a mermaid...

So for those ones I was thinking to do another color study as the last ones but I quite liked the worn out marker aspect (the bevel marker I was using at the time had just reached the right point: pity you can't keep it that way for very long).

So I decided to go for a Baskt approach instead ;)

Random color and basic shapes studies.

Here are some little things I've done lately in order to experiment with some new brushes I've found for photoshop. I used as a base some quick doodles with very basic shape variations:

A little Emo princess for a start

This one turns out to have a definite Mary Blair's feeling

While this one is more of a Maxfield Parrish's tribute.

Back to Mary Blair.

And the last one which I kept quite geometric has a color scheme that reminds me strongly of Song of the Sea.

HAPPY NEW YEAR EVERYBODY!!!!!!!!!!

It was a long time since I did post something but a lot have happened in 2012 and I hope 2013 will be as good (in fact I hope it will be even better). In short I am actually working on a TV series production at a studio in Luxembourg. I have also worked on an animated feature called 'Maman est en Amérique' which will be released this year. While I cannot show you anything on those productions for the moment here is my greeting card for this year. This is based on a something I sketched this summer at a medieval fair (yes I've done a bit of time travel too, I said it was a busy year...)
Enjoy and may 2013 be full of animated fulfillment :)

Animation - Pops studio

Here are some samples of the work I am doing for Pops Studio.
Those little five seconds movies are intended for the mobile platform via an android app.
Design and animation style are entirely free which is great.
I mainly use Flash animation with some After-Effect compositing.
Backgrounds and textures are done in Photoshop. The first ones are strongly influenced by Hiroshige and Hokusai as they used the kind of elongated format I have to use as template.
Don't hesitate to go on my vimeo channel as I've added making of details for each one.
