4K picture, click to enlarge. I'm still training my brushwork and my speed to complete artwork.

After many failed tests, this one is starting to bring together a lot of aspe … | Continue reading
An obvious parody to celebrate 15K followers on Mastodon (it grows quickly because a lot of Twitter users joins it recently).

Hey, I'm continuing the experimentation around this two characters. I also start to like these two, they also let me express a visual metaphor of what I'm living. Maybe I'm finding a simpler form of storytelling. On a technical point of view, they are super challenging with their … | Continue reading
4K resolution available, click the picture to enlarge. SO, after the previous "Confront the Dragon", I continue my research.

And because I'm doing all of that in a larger p … | Continue reading
