This image is an illustration done for the cover of a book which describes what would happen to the cities if you remove all the people (just as a postulate, of course !). The publisher wanted a "matte-painting-like".

It's a digital image (photoshop). About one week of work.]]> Sun, 18 Feb 2007 14:32:55 +0000 http://the-shrike.cgsociety.org/gallery/464070

This is a matte-painting I've done for a video game trailer.
It's a background for a long shot with a camera roll.
the goal was to render a spectacular sky for a scene viewed from the top of a mountain.
Executed in photoshop with a ton of clouds ref ;-))]]> Thu, 15 Feb 2007 16:19:03 +0000 http://the-shrike.cgsociety.org/gallery/456357

It's a painting I made for a cover of a book named "The revenge of the Mummy". I tried to get a worrying atmosphere, but not too much, because it's a book for children. Digital painting with Photoshop (about 2 days).]]> Fri, 26 Jan 2007 21:47:09 +0000 http://the-shrike.cgsociety.org/gallery/455130

Here is a painting for the cover of "The Odyssey" by Homer. I have to specify it's an edition for youth (about 10 years old, I think). My idea was to represent Odysseus at the very beginning of his story, sailing toward adventure.
It's a digital painting (Photoshop).]]> Wed, 24 Jan 2007 09:57:11 +0000 http://the-shrike.cgsociety.org/gallery/443432

Some space marines exploring a Lovecraft-style city, or in Hell, as you prefer... ;-))

It's a personal work. I've retook an old image which I had never finished because I wasn't satisfied. And suddenly, the inspiration came to me... Don't ask me why !

Done in photoshop (on a 3D base for the background).]]> Thu, 21 Dec 2006 20:07:44 +0000 http://the-shrike.cgsociety.org/gallery/442280

Here is a concept art I've done for the Luc Besson's movie "Arthur and the Invisibles" (Arthur et les Minimoys, in french).

It represents the King's palace, which is placed in the centre of the little subterranean city.
