For day 11 of 's January challenge, the prompt was buildings!

I took a modular approach to this, to practice working out some components and then using those to fill out the building, and adding more detail on top of that later.

Went back to the temple concept from a while back and worked it.

I used color and light do the heavy lifting on texture and perspective, so, value work. Really happy with the result.

Spent a significant time on the water, using airbrush, watercolor, and wet and dry knife brushes.

"The Golem" interior shot #1.

This one was really cool to work on, trying to get the best of that oppressive and humid feeling the production wanted. We're in the belly of an old and wrecked Golem.

I wish I had more time to explore much more claustrophobic scenes, to see how far I could push it.

"The Golem" exterior shot.
Showing a giant robot half buried in a forest was trickier than anticipated, especially since I had to come up at the same time with its design, which means body shapes and head features. I put a hand in the back of the picture for scale.

"The Forest" background design I did for the Mekka Nikki TV show project pitch deck.

Challenging one, trying to get the moss right and find a proper lighting for this scene. I like to paint tree trunks but leaves and moss are always tricky.

Mekka Nikki is produced by Dada ! Animation.

"The Cave" background design I did for the Mekka Nikki TV show project pitch deck.

Rocks again! But this time, wet ones! Different exercise than the desert one.

The challenge was to render a bit of depth and show the round "doline cave" shape, with a troglodyte village in the back.

Here's the finished background. You can now see the whole journey, from basic photobashing to full paint over.

Characters will be added to it, to create the full narrative scene.

I can't show you the finished piece, it's going to be part of a pitch deck project I'm putting together, soon to be sent to studios and producers.

"Desert canyon" background design I did for the Mekka Nikki TV show project pitch deck.

I love painting rocks so this one was a real treat, and one of my favorite of the whole set.

I added a fun extra one I sent to the studio for a quick laugh (which also shows my inspiration and why I like painting rocks. ^^)

Progression on the paint over to make an "anime" background.
I switched to B&W to focus on the shapes and values. I'll take car of colors when everything's solid enough.
Still a lot of work ahead.

"The village" background design I did for the Mekka Nikki TV show project pitch deck.
This one contains 6 depth layers, fully painted, meant to be "animated" in After Effects to add a cool parallax effect.

Mekka Nikki © Dada! Animation, based on the comicbook series by Felix Laurent & Exaheva.
Characters by Antoine Bouzin.

I did background designs and paintings for the Mekka Nikki pilot trailer, produced by Dada! Animation.

It was challenging on some parts, every shot had to contain multiple fully painted layers, in order to be "animated" in After Effects, adding very cool parallax effects.

It was a first for me, doing finalized "on screen" BGs.

Here are 3 backgrounds from my thesis film, “If Found.” I just wrapped up production and am looking forward to sharing after entering a few festivals!

Something I did for class way back when I was in art college. Think it was somewhere at the end of 2020

The assignment was to make up a living space for a character we came up with. I came up with an old dad, 50 to 60 years old, who became a secret cryptid hunter after losing his friend to a cryptid attack! I might also put him in my OC universe with Mul since cryptid rangers & hunters are a thing

These are concepts from a personal project that is very dear to me. It takes place during the , the time when hunter-gatherers began to settle down. It's about what happened to people when they started to cultivate plants instead of coexisting with . That's why I really wanted to get the beauty of the right, especially the colors.
