Verne on vacation & CN dev studio shorts online!

Image
At last the shorts that we made at the Cartoon Network Development Studio in 2009 have been put online! They're on their own Youtube channel dedicated to the Development Studio. Here's my short, Verne on Vacation . It's currently being considered as a TV feature, since it didn't correspond to the channel grid for a series, which I'm entirely fine with! It was completed in 3 months, from end of July to October 2009. It won the Pulcinella award for best TV pilot in 2010. I'll post more artworks soon and I can finally give a big shout out to the brilliant crew who worked on it. You can watch it in HD on vimeo HERE . Verne on vacation from Sylvain MARC /Polyminthe on Vimeo . The other shorts on there are Dave Needham's Eliotts Zoo , Chris Garbutt's Pinky Malinky , Rikke Asjborn's Furry Pals , Tom Parkinson's Hamshanks and Alan Kerswell's Mutant Moments. They're all great so check them out!!!

-Voici quelques recherches pour le "Moi je lis". -Here are some researches for the kids magazine I illustrated recently. Recherches du perso principal / Main character development   Recherches de rendu / Rendering tests Autres persos / Other characters Recherches pour l'illus du mécanicien / Tests for the mechanic illo   Autres tests / More tests MAKING-OF -On m'a demandé d'expliquer le processus pour faire une image, je le fais donc pour ce projet. Tout est digital, fait à la Cintiq sur Photoshop, principalement pour une raison de temps. J'avais a peu près un mois pour faire une trentaine d'images et travailler à l'ordi est plus rapide pour moi. -I was asked to explain my process of doing an illustration, so I'll do it with that project. Everything was made digitally with a Cintiq in Photoshop, mainly for a time reason. I had around a month to do thirty or so illustrations and working digitally is faster. 1. Je fais un rough tout pourri pour mettr...

Spirou D&D!

Image
Un petit boulot rapide réalisé l'année dernière pour la gazette de Spirou, en tandem avec mon collègue, voisin et surtout copain Chris Garbutt sur le thème de la fantasy. Il a réalisé la double page centrale et je me suis occupé de la vague frise violassée autour. A quick job I did last year for Spirou, with my coworker, neighbour and pal Chris Garbutt . The theme was fantasy, that's why there's a strong D&D feel to it. He did the centre spread and I did the purple crap around it. He did a nice step by step of it on his blog. Go check it people. (Je préfère cette couleur quand même. I prefer this color. )
