Life is the bubbles

Here is another background for an all new animation… I love mermaids, that’s true, but this is more than that. Actually, I just love drawing the ocean, rocks and seaweeds rather than streets and buildings (I seriously have to do something like that one day…) and fishes are funnier to animate…

The final version will follow soon… to be continued…

Baby mermaid

Here is some new stuff today... yeah, it's got scales, fins and really looks like a mermaid but this is more than that : this is my gift for my cousin's first birthday ! I put it in a frame and everything and hope this baby girl will be as crazy about mermaids as me in a few years... Just kidding...or maybe not... :) Happy First Birthday, Sasha !

Inktober #08 to #15

For this second week of Inktober, I continue to draw scenes and characters from my favorite TV series and movies. I just have to look at my huge collection of DVDs to know what will be next... Also, this is with a real pleasure that I work with pencils and papers again. Actually I always do some quick sketches on paper to bring some ideas for my digital works but I hadn't drew an entire drawing on a sheet of paper for days...

Inktober #00 to #07

Inktober is here and this is a good excuse/exercice to draw something else and in a different way (I hadn't drew with a pencil for days...) For this special challenge, I decided to draw characters and scenes from my favorite TV series and movies. Will you be able to recognize them all ?...

Summer memories

Autumn is here but my mind is still in summer... After my amazing women from Disney, here is another drawing of people I know. friends I have seen this summer to be exact. Why ? 'cause I just want to draw a lot of people this time (my mermaids will be a little bit jealous...) and drawing friends is the best way to do that...

Here is a little WIP too !

Amazing Women

During one whole year, I lived in the United States and worked at Walt Disney World. I met some amazing people form all around the world. But this experience woudn't be the same without my wonderful coworkers. I had so much fun spending all my days at work with these crazy girls !

Private Detective

Here comes my first entry for the facebook page Character Design Challenge. This month, we had to draw a private detective and mine is a little grumpy chameleon. No mermaids this time and I believe this is the first time I draw an animal on purpose...

I will do this challenge more often as possible. I really think this is a good exercice to draw something else than my usual characters. To be continued next month :)

Statue

I started to work on this animation for more than a month now and I am finally done !

For this final part I had to add some colors in this layout. I already did the little merman last month (you can see this version in here : ready to stand) and after some little changes, I spent two days coloring this unusual background on Photoshop. Then, I used TVPaint for the last details like the shadow and the bubbles.

Subway Princess

Since 2014 - March to be exact - this Princess grew up from my imagination...

Just like every characters in the animated world, she used to have different faces, more or less hair, etc. So I decided to choose an unique design that's why I updated her character.

In a nutshell, I love to do peoplewatching when I am stuck in the subway and, two days ago, I saw the living version of my Princess ! This young woman, in her early twenties, had the same face and body I was thinking for her. I took some notes on my cell... no, no it's not creppy at all !

My Princess of Lyon might change a little bit again, but I think I found something to work with for a little while. She seems more mature than her previous versions and it is the idea I have when I am thiking about her...

Sudden fall

No more mermaids this time. I wanted to do something like that for the little while now. And I just woke up today with this idea of an action scene for my defenceless Princess of Lyon. I always loved scenes like that in movies where characters we love are in a great danger, fighting for their life...

My Princess of Lyon is a character I created and I like to animate her. Even if she does not have a proper story and seems mixed with all the characters I love, I think this is a good thing to use her character to show you my animation skills. 

The final version will follow. To be continued...
