Episode 2400 (English version)

I was kindly asked by my buddy Paka (for non-French-speaking readers: a groovy French comic artist, blogger, and UI designer) to make a little comic for the 2400th episode of his blog! The story obviously started as a collection of private jokes... and turned into this epic-yet-absurd tale involving him, myself and some colleagues & premises from when we were working together earlier this year (in a "big French video game studio") 😆

It was originally published yesterday on the The Paka Blog, but since I was asked for an English version, I'm posting it here too! Enjoy! 😘💜

Les tourments

To celebrate the beginning of another rusty October, here is my doom metal rendition of French rapper ANTHA's beautiful song, "Les Tourments" 💀



2020 brought many calamities, but some good stuff too. Among the good stuff, I discovered ANTHA's solo album "Spleen" - an amazingly dark and ethereal album, and so far my favorite this year. I was already a fan of ORTIES (her rap band with her sister) and this goes even beyond. The production, the ambient, the lyrics (in French of course) are superb. I dare to say that I consider "Spleen" like a modern goth gem, and I don't care if "it's a rap record, it cannot be goth"; to me it's all about aesthetics, and here there is definitely "that thing" I like in dark music!

Last August, I was SO MUCH into this album that I decided to work on a doom metal 'adaptation' of the song "Les tourments", as I found that the words would suit so well this kind of mood. Enjoy! 😌

Mytho Logique: 10 Years

On this very day, 10 years ago, I graduated from my animation/vfx art school with the release of Mytho Logique, a 3D animation short film I co-directed with 4 friends. This little film was the starting point of my professional carreer, and 2 months after graduation, I left Montpellier to start a job in London.

I put a lot of myself in it, and I must admit, 10 years later, than it probably has been the only time I got this chance. As a result, this film remains an important achievement to me and I am very grateful people are still entertained by it, given the number of views and comments on Vimeo and Youtube and the fact that the audio was translated in other languages! It is simply amazing.

To mark the occasion, I wanted to revisit quickly the world of Mytho, and since I don't work in 3D anymore, here's an illustration! Fun fact: the composition is very loosely based on "The Infancy of Bacchus", a painting by Louis De Boulogne The Younger (1654-1733). Enjoy!

It's bird season

Introducing Lenovo Douchebagpipe and Hundur Goredrum, two characters from the Dungeons & Dragons campain I am currently playing (through Discord...) with my friends! 🔥 I made this drawing for the friend who plays Hundur! (And yes, in case you're wondering, Lenovo is my character 😅)

The Frankenstein spouses

A gift for my friend Miss Buffet Froid 😃 Let's make this the first one in a series about classical cinema monsters!

Daywalker

Storm!

Always loved this character, especially in this outfit from the 80's!

The Conjuring Universe

Lately I've been rewatching The Conjuring films and discovered all of their spin-offs (Annabelle, The Nun, The Curse of La Llorona), and DAMN I love this universe. I am actually a big fan of the Insidious franchise too (which was started by the same director, James Wan) so you can expect another fan art soon...

Note that this was entirely drawn with pencils and inked traditionally! Of course I edited some stuff digitally, but still.

Sailor Moon

It would seen that I can't get over this Sailor Moon thing!
And YES my version of Usagi smokes a pipe (the only thing I could find to keep the "sailor" connection, lmao), draws her power from the worship of Hecate, and looks mean!

Sometimes Love is not enough

Sailor Moon redraw | redesign

A funny challenge online. I ended up goofing around and sketching alternative witch-esque redesigns!

Tell me what to do!

In May 2019 I sketched this Avengers: Endgame tribute, only during lunch breaks at work (it took me 3 weeks, lol). Though I think it would look nice once properly inked and colored, I struggled to find the strength to finish it.

Now that I have more time, what should I do with it?

Vampire

Harley

These days I draw a lot with the Pencil tool in Photoshop. Stroke edges are super sharp and pixelated, but I like it.

Six fanarts

Joining the hashtag train!

Cleaning out some sketches

Spider-sketches

Believe it or not, it has been a few weeks without proper drawing. I needed to shake off the dust a bit, and for that, what a better subject that the old friendly neighborhood Spider-man!

Fun stuff

Dick Grayson / Nightwing

Jason Todd / Robin

Kory Anders / Starfire

Gar / Beast Boy

Rachel Roth / Raven

Donna Troy / Wonder Girl

I was thinking about "Titans" season 2 during lunch break, so I made this!

Fait Accompli

A simple tribute to the mesmerizing beauty of Toni Halliday from the English band Curve in the cult music video for their song "Fait Accompli".

Happy new decade, y'all
