Fast forwarding over a decade later, my style has evolved a lot and if I were to create these characters now, they would be very different! This project is therefore a great opportunity to reflect on my past self and unravel my creative process. If felt like an art restorer, working to keep the spirit of my original artworks in a whole new composition. What do you think of this one?
Some watercolor of Cap. With some color pencils and white posca. I still love thick paint but love the fact that it’s fast to produce, no need of tons of brushes -and no need to clean them after as I’m using this modern brushes with a small water tank included- and I can’t stop anytime without wasting the oil or acrylics palette that you usually need to prepare before. - #captainamerica #cap #watercolor #drawing #mcu #marvel https://ift.tt/2C4Kigm
Skrull dwarf concept for Captain Marvel. Working on diversity (which make sense for the Skrull). - #captainmarvel #marvelstudios #skrull #conceptart #mcu #marvelcinematicuniverse #characterdesign #marvel #skrulls https://ift.tt/2ZMOEmL

Avengers Endgame end credits. Really proud to have work on this movie! :) can’t wait for the artbook release to show the concept arts I’ve done. This movie is the story culmination of the 21 previous Marvel Studios (worked on 5 of them). So no picture here but my tonight little pleasure :) - #marvelstudios #avengersendgame http://bit.ly/2Puqby1
Samut, Tyrant Smasher / illustration for the Magic: The Gathering set “War of the Spark”. The design was some way more before Black Panther but someone just recently told me that she has the Wakanda arm sign on her chest! This war of the Spark is the culmination of a decade of storytelling and as it is the mtg endgame I assume there will be some deaths! - #digitalpainting #mtg #samut #planeswalker #magic #magicthegathering #magicthegatheringcards #wotc #mtgart #warofthespark #fantasyart #fantasy #samuttyrantsmasher #mtg http://bit.ly/2GgqtEu
Samut’s sprint / illustration for Magic : The Gathering / War of the Spark. This is the latest set of the collectible card game and the culmination over a decade of storytelling. The mtg Endgame in some way. Lots of Pkaneswalkers are implied. I like how the illustration are connected to the storytelling building a precise chronology of how this war is going on. This is my third illustration with Samut. Looks like Wizards of the Coast like what I’m doing with her! - #samut #mtg #wizardsofthecoast #planeswalker #warofthespark #mtgart #wotc #fantasy #magicthegathering #digitalpainting #fantasyart #ccg http://bit.ly/2Ubggyr
Nahiri, Storm of Stone for Magic : The Gathering. This is for the current set « War of the Spark » which is the culmination of a decade of storytelling. A kind of Endgame for mtg. - #mtg #magicthegathering #nahiri #planeswalker #planeswalker_mtg #mtgart #magicthegatheringcards #illustration #fantasy #fantasyart #endgame #warofthespark http://bit.ly/2Um8cj2

An exploration for Captain Marvel helmet. With a take on how to deal with the original Mohawk haircut on top of the head. This one like a force field. - #captainmarvel #digitalpainting #mcu #marvel #marvelstudios #marvelcinematicuniverse #scifi #conceptart #conceptdesign #characterdesign #avengers #avengersendgame https://ift.tt/2ujiYqV
Another early exploration for Captain Marvel and how a Kree elite pilote could look like. This time refering to the Kree black suits you can find in the anime (maybe in some comics too?) - #captainmarvel #captainmarvelmovie #marvel #mcu #marvelstudios #marvelcinematicuniverse #caroldanvers #kree #characterdesign #digitalpainting #conceptart https://ift.tt/2W9V8Kg
Another early exploration for Vers (Carol Danvers) as an elite Kree pilot. For Captain Marvel the movie. When I’m doing concept proposals I’m usually trying some iterations close to what we know and we see before about the character but also offering some weirder/fresher/surprising versions. This is certainly one. Here I was trying to hide the human root of the character like it’s looking like an alien and then Tadaaaa! It’s a human face! With Brie Larson feature! Basically this approach is focusing on how to surprise the audience. To play with this and to create mystery. You know there is a lot in common between storytelling and magician tricks (think about Melies who was deeply interested in illusionism before doing cinema). - #digitalillustration #digitalpainting #kree #caroldanvers #characterdesign #marvel #marvelstudios #captainmarvel #captainmarvelmovie #mcu #marvelcinematicuniverse #pilot #spacesuit https://ift.tt/2T7bGk9
