Ping Pong The Animation

I have been interviewed for Cartoon Brew so I took this chance to share some Ping Pong backgrounds and the color-script of the first episode. I hope you will enjoy them. I didn't had the chance to communicate here but I was lucky to be the Background Director at Tatsunoko Pro for the latest Masaaki Yuasa TV show based on Taiyo Matsumoto's Manga. My most intense and rememberable project so far.

Above the Color-Script of the first Episode. I hope the be able to show them all one day.

Sumette's Excitement

Not easy to be a Sumette! Researches made some time ago. Currently still developing the story and visuals on my free tim

Rayman Legends Concepts

A selection of early Concept Art I did has a Visual Develoment Artist for Rayman Legends. Ubisoft Montpellier’s game created by the amazing Michel Ancel and his incredible crew.  I also had the chance to paint Rayman and the Red Dragon of the game front cover. Below some Frog's Castle.

Originally they were planning to have a Dracula stage. 

Hopefully some of you will enjoy those images :)

Kick-Heart "Jardin d'enfances"

Masaaki Yuasa asked for a freestyle illustration for Kick-Heart, so I made up a story about Romeo who was actually an apprentice gardener as a child. His interest in wrestling and becoming Maskman M was triggered by the playful tactics of a mystery girl who also becomes Lady S in the future.

Illustration made for Kick-Heart, as a Giclee print Kickstarter reward
