Un petit étape par étape de l'affiche que j'ai réalisée pour la comédie musicale "Ariel" mise en scène par @benjamin.luc_cohen

Vendredi soir dernier, j'ai pu assister à la première du spectacle et j'ai été conquis ! 🤩

J'ai adoré la performance vocale et scénique des comédiens/chanteurs (petit coup de 💙 pour la voix d'Éric, la présence comique de Sébastien, l'extravagance d'Ursula et bien sûr la prestation angelique d'Ariel 🎶👏)

Les costumes étaient tous magnifiques et la présence d'un orchestre live a vraiment sublimé les paroles de ces chansons qu'on adore (bravo pour l'impressionnant travail d'adaptation des textes de cette version française qui se hisse au même niveau que la version originale de Broadway 🤩👏🎶🧜🏻‍♀️)

Encore un grand merci pour l'opportunité d'avoir pu mettre ma petite pierre à l'édifice de ce beau projet en concoctant l'affiche 🥰

Et bravo encore à tous les artistes sur scène ou non pour ces deux heures de magie sous l'océan

💙🧜🏻‍♀️🎶✨️🌊

Something PAINTED this way comes

Here is my little December project : paintings on windows !  It was all new for me to paint on windows but it was such an amazing experience ! First, here are Olaf and Elsa from Disney's Frozen. Then, you'll see my Christmas version of the story of the Three Little Pigs and their famous Big Bad Wolf.

My friend Caroline helped me with the pig in the middle. You can see her amazing work via her blog : Vicoline !

Follow the merman

I will follow this merman

Merman in love

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…

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 !

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...

Up where they walk...

Here are some new stuffs... This is still this little merman but I finally drew another background. I loved the challenge that layout represented : on one hand, we have to see the bottom of the ocean and on the other hand, we can see the top of it. And the camera is doing the trick.

This huge man statue reminds me as well a cover I made for one of my webcomics Merman. Here is another version of the little merman and his Prince statue just like the Andersen's fairy tale. 

The colored version is coming soon. To be continued...

Ready to stand

I always loved this scene from the Disney's Little Mermaid. The animation is amazing and the lyrics are filled with hope and promisses for this young Ariel. So I decided to create my own "ready to stand" with an all new little merman character.

At first, it took place in an underwater cavern just like the Disney movie but I would like to change it for a new background. Also I think it is a good exercice because of the motion of the camera, we are able to see the bottom and the top of the scene in an unique layout.

To be continued...

Just keep swimming

Even if all the seaweeds are missing, this animation is the first one completly cleaned and finished since the end of my animated short film Humaine. 

I can't help drawing and animating mermaids. I just love their way to move and swim. I spent a lot of time coloring and redrawing all my sketches and all this work is like a reward for me when I can see this very short animated sequence finally all done and clean.
