Hi there ! Alive again. For those who followed me for some years now, there is a bit of a change : I am now a professional story artist, not doing much concept or character design anymore (might go back to it, who knows). I’ll start posting stuff I’ve been doing for quite some time now. I won’t follow a chronological order so you might see some (big) disparities in style and animation. Everything is normal. Here you have an animatic I made, based on the characters and universe from the game “HADES” by Supergiant Games. While mostly done for training purpose, the thought process was “What if HADES was an animated serie”. This fight would be a moment in an episode.
