"In the mists of the western part of the Channel, somewhere between Normandy, Britanny and Cornwall sits the island of Ygern."
Finally done with this huge series of artworks for my personal project! I always loved doing city views and this one is probably my most ambitious.
A view of a port surrounded by medieval buildings and sailing ships. On the horizon, on a hill, a huge gothic cathedral is burning, witnessed by a silhouette standing on a mast An aerial view of a city on an island, in the front sits a ruined abbey on a hill, and a medieval city can be seen in the distance An aerial view of an island on a stormy sea, a city sits on one side of the island while the other is occupied by a rocky hill. A medieval, ancient looking map of a fictional island. The name reads "the Isle and City of Ygern"

Going back to do studies again, as it's been long since I did some.
Here's a 1hour study of a sculpture of St Elizabeth of Hungary by Alfred Gilbert. Trying to be painterly and spontaneous!

Hello everyone ! I'm back with something that is very much outside of my comfort zone : a character design !

This is a revamp of Ariane, the main character of my story, done with a wide variety of processes (painting, photobash and a bit of 3d)

HD here : www.artstation.com/artwork/XJwNm3
A digital painting portrait of a woman with dark blonde hair, a scar on the right cheek and a serious expression, on a dark background, wearing a laced up shirt. a character sheet with a portrait of the character, a blonde woman with a scar on the right cheek, and 4 hairstyle variations on the right side. Her name, Ariane Nehel, is written on the side. A character sheet of the same character as the two previous images, a blonde woman called Ariane Nehel. On the right side, there's three variations of her expression. On the left side, there's the character in late 18th century/early 19th century sailor's clothes, as well as a variation without the coat on the bottom, and her weapons with a description. The text reads : " Ariane was born in a provincial noble family in western France around 1770, under the name “Astrid de Vaumant”. She was forced to marry a rich bourgeois to salvage the financial situation of her parents, but during the French revolution, her husband denounced her parents after a finance-related dispute. As noble-born, they were guillotined. Astrid learned about her spouse actions and proceeded to avange her family, killing her husband in secret during the early days of the consulate... Pierre-Marie Desmarest, Fouché’s lieutenant, learned about it and gave Astrid a choice : work for Napoleon or die under the guillotine. She chose life, and changed her identity in Ariane Nehel.Now, she travels with a corsair crew, looking for conspirators that might hide on a remote island called Ygern..." And the text above the weapons : "Ariane uses a variety of different weapons, depending on the situation. On the ship “Theseus”, she conceals a pair of flint guns under her navy coat, as well as an out of fashion blade : she still uses a court sword from the middle 18th century, which was her father's weapon. " A research sheet for a character design, filled with sketches of a woman in an outfit inspired from the early 19th century/late 18th century. On the right side, the sketches are colored and more detailed, and there's a row of expression sketches on the top.

I’m trying to get back to characters a bit, at least to practice on a skill I use a lot less than environments. So I’ll try to do more studies ! Here’s one of a picture of actress Imogen Poots, based on a photo found on Pinterest.
Around an hour on procreate.

Hello all ! This is mostly for my French followers, but tomorrow evening I'll be live on twitch with Digital Painting School on their channel, to talk a bit career, experiences and about the life of a concept artist.

Pour les Francophones, ça sera par ici : m.twitch.tv/spartan_dpsc...

A thematic study for #pridemonth !
In normal times I would just wish a great month to my LGBTQAI+ friends, but sadly I instead want to remind everyone to pay attention to what's happening around. Protect queer folks, and take care of those around you.

Last week, I was in Portugal for a conference and a masterclass at Obidos Vila Gaming, for the occasion I did a demo of how I handle 3d renders and paintover. Here's the result, and the first image of a series.

Time to ask people for their thoughts ! I'm doing another Inn for a demo, and I'm not sure of which one works best!
It's for the same city as the cathedral, so that might help you visualizing !
A sketch board of medieval looking Inn buildings, with 6 different designs on it : -1st is an assemblage of two buildings, a tall one (5 stories high) and a shorter one, the tall is covered in shingles and stays simple, while the other is a mix of wood and shingles. -2nd is a simpler row house with bow windows on each side, only 3 stories high. The facade is mainly wood and shingles. -3rd is an angle city block, mixing wood and stone buildings, with a high chimney supporting the higher buildings. -4th is a simpler wooden building, also on an angle, with a square shape -5th is a complex centered on a small courtyard with an arch entrance, mixing stone and wood buildings. -6th is a wood and shingles row building, 4 stories high, with a lot of windows on the street, and a narrow feeling reminiscent of bigger cities like Rouen (main inspiration there)

A quick #pleinairpril for today, based on Creully castle, a beautiful medieval fortress standing near my location.
Simple process but fun to do.

Yesterday's #pleinairpril , with my step-parents house :)
I'll try something different for the next one, I feel I'm getting stuck with this type of rendering.
