Showreel - December 2014

Here it is : the last Showreel of the year!

2014 has been full of work, more precisely 3D animation, and I tried to sort everything out in order to keep the best pieces. 

Don't worry, there's a lot more to come in 2015!

Nothing will ever prevent me from working hard and trying to reach my goals.

MERRY CHRISTMAS

When my 2D doll meets a 3D hand...

Here it is, the last animation video of 2014. 

A hand study starring... my doll!

Three hours to make the 3D animation on Maya. The 2D one took much longer on After Effects.

But it was fun to do it!

Silhouettes - first tries

Here is a part of my future job in Epcot : silhouettes!

So I had to try it and now, my goal is to get better before starting working in Orlando.

From imagination - Cara Delevingne (or not) - Jennifer Lawrence

Bradley Cooper - Miley Cyrus

This is the right order of the first five silhouettes I've ever made!

Two minutes each instead of 30 seconds. Hey, I'm starting!

They're not as clean as I want them to be. Though I understood some things about proportions, hand position...

Oh, and there's no eye lashes. I focused too much on the global profile. I'll think about it while making my next silhouettes. 

Also, I'll have to make more details.

Motivated!

Florida, here I come!

After six years of dreaming
After five years of working
After four year of preparing
After...

I'm finally going to Orlando to work for Rubio Arts Corporation, in Disney World!

Departure : Tuesday, March 17 2015

From March 19 on, I'll officially be a portrait artist/caricaturist in the Epcot and Magic Kingdom parks.

Only three months left to get ready for the big experience!

For more info on this year, go on my Travel Blog.

Life can be Magical.

December 8, 2014

Finally, it's December 8!

I bet some of you don't know what I'm talking about.

It's a special day for my city as it becomes all illuminated. 

And it's a special day for me as... it's my birthday!

(I like thinking that all the lights are for me, you know...)

For the occasion, I received an amazing present from my good friend, Lorène.

She made a kind of fan art of my "Owly Me" and I love it!

Thanks to all of you who wished my Birthday, my heart is filled for the year to come!

3D animation - Willy falls

Here's a new collab with Willy. I made this one in 2:30 only. Getting faster!

Lipsync : Part I

Wow, I haven't posted in two weeks. I'm sorry about that! A lot going on.

I'm back with the first part of the lipsync, divided in two parts.

I'm also working on some digital drawings that I hope to post soon.

Lipsync (teaser 2)

Here's a second teaser for my upcoming lipsync.

So... what? Still no idea what she can be talking about?

Be patient, you'll know in no time.

How To Train Your Dragon : Fan Art

Do you know what came out today?

The How To Train Your Dragon 2 DVD !

And for this event, I had to make this little fan art based on my Eye Illustrations.

And I know I'm far from being the only one to worship these two heroes, Hiccup & Toothless.

France, go get yours!
I got mine!

(Bonus, big thanks to my cousin and her friend Clothilde for getting me a small version of Toothless. It made my day, and even more!)

Cuddly toy : Turnaround

Remember my character design for a cuddly toy/doll I made a few weeks ago? 

It's back! All 3D-like drawn.

Yeah, you read well, I want to make it a 3D character (with rig and everything). 

It'll be a kind a basic training for me as I'm not that used to do such a thing.

Much fun to come!

3D Animation - Back Handspring

Here's something I wanted to do, it was kind of a challenge to me : the back handspring.

Making a 3D character flip is pretty complicated, until you get how to do it.

And as I practiced gym for three years, I knew how to handle the anticipations and all.

Hope you guys like it!

3D animation - Willy

I met Willy last week, and I can say we instantly got along. 

Our collaboration on this one was so easy and fun! I bet you can tell by watching it.

I do not own this rig. It's a free one made by Matthew Moore.

Behind The Gate : final test

Here is a graphic tests I made. 
It appears to be the final atmosphere of the 2D short movie I'm working on, Behind The Gate.

Lipsync (teaser)

Here's a teaser of my upcoming lipsync.

It lasts 30 seconds so it takes quite some time to make and finish it.

But I'm working on it!

What do you think Bonnie is talking about? What is she so proud of?

Character design

Other candidates to my next project in mind.

I want the character to be pretty easy to draw. So here are the first tries.

Then I thought about something : my former cuddly toy. No kidding, that's what this character made me think of. So I wanted to try to make it a doll. Here's what it looks like now.

Portrait - Bradley Cooper

Back to basics... and to my first love : portraits.

I needed to do this one for quite some time now, but I didn't find time for it, until yesterday night.

I told myself : "Okay, you have many things to do, but you deserve to do something you really enjoy doing. So go ahead and do it. Right now!" Haha

Plus, the model is sooo enjoyable. Oh, Bradley!

Thank Sam for me, please!

Alright, I'll do it... right now.

Dear Sam,

You came visit me in Lyon about one week ago, and I will never thank you enough for the fantastic day we spent together! 

But I'm not the only one who wants to thank you. This little creature will forever venerate you for bringing Reese's with you. And I'm joining him, because God, it's so good! It's a little hug when you need a big one. Great start!

You know you can come back anytime (most likely with more Reese's)!

Jessy

(I've always wanted to make this kind of illustration. But I guess the character won't remain for the upcoming ones. I don't know. I'm still searching.)

Character Design

Thinking about another little animated project. 

Searching for the perfect character to star in it.

First candidates

WIP : Lipsync

Yeah, Bonnie's back! Told you she was my new best friend. Now we're working on a lipsync.

Don't worry, not only the face, the whole body moves too!

But I thought this screen shot was funny.

It takes time to complete it, but I'm having fun on it.

Oh and btw, I didn't drop my side project. More coming soon!
