Back in the days

enough with the 3D ! Here a fun exercice, I had to put my face on an old painting.



















I kinda like thoses pants !

final year project

At the end of the year, I had to work on a big project during around 4 weeks. And this time I had only this to worry about !! It's nice to focus on a single project.

I had to create 2 images. And these two images had to be related, I had to tell a story through these images with no characters.

The theme of the project was the theater (again), I made a preprod report with all my research and the message I wanted to put into this project.

I choose to work on the Crazy Horse, a famous cabaret in Paris.
I illustrate my story through the scene and the backstage.

Here they are:

Uch Uch

The first 3D model character !

I had to choose a BD character and then draw his model sheet in order to model it.
I decided to work on a french bd which is also a serie of short 2D animations called "Les Lascars". Check this out if you don't already know this.

time: 1 week

Let's go to the theater

Animation on the theme of the theater.
The show it about to start, illustrate.

It's christmas eve !

In order to make sure we don't get bored during christmas, we had a small animation to do about christmas of course.

I had to illustrate christmas eve and more precisly the wait of Christmas (not sure if it makes sens)

I prefer when it moves !

Even if it's the first year, the 3D teacher wanted us to try some animation (basic) , no character, just camera, lights, simple objects ...

It's like a tradition at the ESMA, you have to make a animation with the logo of the school.
Well, I decided to use a famous icone for that. You'll recognized it.

As I made this animation a few days before St Patrick's day, I decided to add a small bonus to it.
here the second version, I prefer this one personnaly.

Quoi ma gueule !?

Here we are, we've started to work on human body !
It's the first hand and face I model so it need some more work.

First, my hand :
time : 1 week




And then, my face. That was pretty cool to do but even if I see myself everyday, it's still hard to reproduce his face in 3D.

time: 1 week

La cabane du pêcheur ( avec accent)

Another subject but still in 3D, I had to sketch a few shot of a hut. This hut had to be in an environnement with a story in it ...

As you can see I decided to talk about the deforestation in Amazonie and the pollution of the river.

Here is my image, I would hae scan the sketch I made but I need to find a scanner here first...
time: 3 weeks


(don't know why it's so bright when i put it here ...)

I'm back !

It has been a while, i was very busy this year and i didn't take the time to post some of my projects. Here are some of my 3D projects from this year. It was some exercices with one or two weeks of work.

First, a phone, it was a free modeling exercice :


Antother exercice was to model a playmobil, it sounds cool but you know a playmobil is not so simple in reality !



A texturing exercice, the teacher gave us a child shoe and then we had to map it and create the texture.

Drawing workshop

I have to build a drawing file that I'll present to the different schools so I'm starting to organise a bit my work into different parts. Most of my sketches have to be finalised generally. But I managed to work on some basic action drawings frame by frame, also some hand expressions; body expressions and nude models. I scanned all these drawings but I want to modifiy them before posting them here, so you'll see them later.

Here are the last sketches from my drawing lessons:

Animated texture

Just an old exercice I had to do at uni last year. It's not much but I liked the idea of using a picture or drawing and then playing with it to realise a moving texture.

drawing workshop

Since December I've been taking some drawing courses twice a week. It's only nude models and it's taking place in a cool mood with lots of different people coming for different reasons... A teacher from l'ESAD is with us. He suggests some exercices and helps those who need it.

here are some of my drawings:

when the plush becomes a 3d character

When I was still at Teesside, I worked on a 3d character which I created firstly to make it as a cuddly. I'm crazy about cuddlies and especially the Uglydoll (http://www.uglydolls.com/) I find them pretty cool and I'd love to make some animations with them. I'm sure they could act on some animations with a simple but humoristic story. They have "la tête de l'emploi" as we say in France.

I wanted to finish it before leaving but I didn't have enough time.
So here he is :

Character Design

I'm also working on some character faces, I try different shapes and designs. I'm focusing on faces at the moment coz I still have difficulties to draw the entire body with the clothes and stuff ... (maybe not the best to do in this case)

So here they are :


























Some more designs will come later.

My little Munny !

I don't know if you know what it is,(if you don't just have a look on that website http://www.kidrobot.com/html/munny3/gallery.html).

I recieved one last year, the christmas model, with his santa's hat of course. And "he" is pretty cool to draw actually as he isn't too complex.

Here is the original one (the one with the hat) :

and here is the one I drew :

It has been a while !

I'm preparing my drawing portfolio as I will have to present it to the schools I want to enter next year. The most important aspect to show is that you know how to draw so I have given up my computer a bit to concentrate on drawing.

I 've bought my scanner :D so now I'll be able to post my sketches. I'll make some colorisations later on.

Here are some of my last drawings, there aren't really finish but I'll finalise them on photoshop I guess, like adding the shadows properly.

As you can see, I'm more or less working in a project which takes place in this kind of environnement, with bugs, mushrooms, hedgehogs ... It could be fun to work on that.

4L trophy

Is has been a while I know, I'm back in France and I don't have access to a scanner here or at the uni so I can't post my new drawings yet ... I'll make it up for that.

Anyway, here is a poster I made for the 4L trophy which is a humanitarian operation to help children in north Africa. Some friends of mine were particpating in this event and asked me to make an A3 poster which would represent their team and thank their sponsors.

Angel final animation

Here is the final animation:

Sample of sketches

Hey, it has been a long time again, but I was very busy with my uni work so I didn't have the time to post anything lately.
I'm just going to post some pictures of the last drawings I worked on.














This skecth is a reproduction of Fafi's work

These last sketches are for a future project I have in mind could be for 3D characters but also for dolls (why not?)

I found my face

Thanks to the ExpoTees, we had a shooting session for the brochure. So I decided to take this picture as my avatar. héhé


Han ... doesn't work, it suppose to be in the right corner with my profile as well...

As this post is a bit about me, I thought I could add a short film that I made during my second year with other students (Leigh, Ray and Dan)
It was a pretty cool project even if we were a bit just on time, the idea was good and it was fun to edit this film ... anyway I'm acting in it ( not much no worries ) and I hope you'll enjoy this piece of work.

enjoy the show guys:

Texturing !

I've never really used texture in my last projects, but now that I know how to use, it's gonna be different.

I've finished the texturing for my scene. I didn't really expect this result so I'll probably change my main character texture a bit, just by adding a bit of clothe texture under the design. I still have to make some tries for that.

So here is my scene, the light is a bit strange on some renders but it's just to show how it will looks like.
