Character Design Test

A long time ago I've made a character design test for a TV show project, but they didn't like it...

Character Design for a canceled project...

During the first month of 2010 I've been working on a TV show project. I've made a lot of designs but it's canceled now so here are some of them... I'll probably post more later.

Influence Map + Pierre Périfel Link

My influence map. I wonder if anyone can name all of them ?
Answers will come next time if you don't find :)

My good friend and former Gobelins teammate Pierre Périfel just created (at last) a blog. Go to see his work, he's one of the greatest artists I know, everything he does is gold !

SPA Girl

Because of my last two weeks of vacation and my new job since june, I haven't been able to produce a lot of things for my blog...

So, here are few researches I've made for a website about salon and spa. I had to make few drawings of a sexy girl but, after changing their minds all the time, the client finally decided not to keep me for the job (fortunatly, the webmaster was pissed of be the client attitude and was kind enough to give me the money I deserve).

So here are few drawings I made, they are just the first rough.

Animal Kids 1

Two days ago I've seen a fabulous movie/art video by Pierre Huyghe called Steamside day Follies, it reminds me one of my favorite white-trash movie called Gummo by Harmonie Korine and inspired me for a little serie of illustrations.
Here is the first one.

Surrounded by girls

Back from New York since few days, here's a all new illustration, to bring life back to my blog.

I'm going to New York !

I know I wasn't very productive those last days but it won't be better during the newt 3 weeks because I'm going to visit New York and part of the east coast (between Boston and Washington).

So sorry in advance for the lack of drawings and a big thank to all of you guys who are coming on my blog, I'll try to post again when I come back.
