EXPLORPOD

I used to build a lot of little caravans, submarines and exploration pods out of Lego when I was little. I thought it would be fun to upgrade the designs and turn it into one giant mecha! A peaceful being built to endure rough terrains, heavy weight loads and all sorts of weather conditions. All piloted by a young "captain" as he hunts for new species.

TITANIUM
Mini time-lapse video on Youtube! Other colour versions here.

Doodle, turned Ignacio Fernandez study, turned full illustration. Everything was so much fun to work on. Took around 6 - 8 hours total. All 2D. Hope you like!

Great job with that EXPLORPOD design. It looks really nice with a lot of nice little details. And I like the you've illustrated it with the young pilot. It looks like straight out of a cartoon TV show.

And that last one called TITANIUM... just wow! Once again, great detail work and awesome atmosphere. The whole thing is just gorgeous.

EGLISE

This was inspired by a little church I saw when I was on my road trip around France. I didn't have much time to work on it so it may look a little rushed here and there, but I'm happy with it. I finished painting the building and the clouds...and the trees....but I felt it was missing something....

BOB

Meet Bob. He's an armoured mecha, although he mostly consists of a soft and squishy vinyl-like material. He started off as a pencil sketch inspired by Baymax from Disney's "Big Hero 6" and Blizzard's "Starcraft".

GUILTY GEAR X2 - MAY
Speedpaint video on Youtube!

So long and thanks for all the fish! Had to draw May from GGX2. Who doesn't love a giant anchor wielding, dolphin summoning, whale attacking jellyfish pirate with squeaky shoes?

SMALL RAY OF HOPE

As a small ray of hope shone upon her face, she immediately felt the warmth amongst cool breeze that swept past her cheeks.
'Twas just a quick doodle on a piece of paper, which I decided to quickly repaint and colour in Photoshop.

BAGHERA
Art collab with Makuzoku! Painting time-lapse on Youtube!

Makuzoku and I have joined forces once again to bring you - Baghera!
Baghera is an original character from Makuzoku's popular manga "Sangria", which he is bringing back to life with a complete reboot!

He created a wonderful ink drawing of Baghera using Deleter inks and pens, which I scanned into Photoshop. I then applied a colour base to the drawing before I started rendering everything. Once the highlights and textures were in place, I added some ambient occlusion effects and some fiery embers to finish the piece off. Makuzoku reviewed the image and I made a few tweaks here and there to get it to his liking.
The process video is now on Youtube, I hope you like!

STITCH

From one of my favourite scenes in Lilo and Stitch, created in watercolours. Chris Sander's iconic style and character designs have always interested me and I've always wanted to do a little tribute! So voila
Hope you enjoy
