THE LEGEND OF VOX MACHINA Character design TV series Young adults

My lead Phil Bourassa gave me the opportunity to create the big villain monster of the season 1 finale. They approved it. And then I had to do the turnaround! :-O Without a doubt the most challenging turnaround of my career! I had a lot of fun though ^^ The Legend of Vox Machina season 1 and 2 are available on Amazon Prime Video. This is the animated adaptation of the popular Youtube roleplaying show Critical Role (2M+ subscribers), produced by Titmouse Inc.

This is the poster/illustration I made for the pitch deck of this TV series project. Colors by @gaelleautin The project, developed with the French studio @watchnextmedia was a new vision of the Aladdin myth and the 1001 nights tale. It was never sold unfortunately. So I can share with you the making of a visual development for a series! :-) #characterdesign #visdev #visualdevelopment #btod #bertrandtodesco #artistsoninstagram #superhero #aladdin #aladin #jasmine #jazz #scheherazade #superpowers #superpower #fly #flying #power #powers #green #purple #1001nights #1001nuits #tale #tales #poster #illustration #cover #pitchdeck (at Los Angeles, California) https://www.instagram.com/p/CqDlhKQuCY7/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

THE LEGEND OF VOX MACHINA Character design TV series Young adults

I worked on the first 2 seasons of The Legend of Vox Machina, the animated adaptation of the popular Youtube roleplaying show Critical Role. Produced by Titmouse Inc, streaming on Amazon Prime Video. Mains characters and style created by Phil Bourassa. I created secondary characters, crowds, animals, monsters, FX and “damaged versions” of existing characters.

A long time ago, I used to sketch people in the subway in Paris. It is a great exercise to draw fast, to catch the right pose and right expression, because there is always a lot of movements there. This illustration is based on one of these sketches, and obviously made at home on photoshop afterwards. Life painting is always important #illustration #subway #metro #paris #girl #girls #red #blue #phone #blonde #blondegirl #iphone #fallfashion #lowboots #trenchcoat #btod #bertrandtodesco #artistsoninstagram (at Los Angeles, California) https://www.instagram.com/p/CmhJ5pFpQFD/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

Turnaround of Cleo. For a cut-out animation style (with Toonboom Harmony). The most used pose would be the 3 quarter view so it is important to have a nice face for this pose. BUT it is in this case more of a 1/8 than a 3/4 so I added a real 3q for a smoother rotation, to help animators. Many sequences were animated “traditionally” not using the puppet build. Worth a watch!!! Amazing animation by @titmouseinc - From the Dreamworks’ TV show “Cleopatra In Space”. @dreamworks @dreamworkstv #dreamworks #dreamworksanimation #cleopatrainspace tv series #streaming on @hulu #hulu and @peacocktv #peacock #peacocktv #titmouse #characterdesign #visdev #visdevart #mainpack #graphicbible #visualdevelopment #btod #bertrandtodesco #artistsoninstagram #space #cleopatra based on the bestselling comicbook by @mikemaihack voiced by @iamlilimar (at Los Angeles, California) https://www.instagram.com/p/Cm15EJDpuI4/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

The person who released the Evil Genius. It was inspired loosely by the clothing eccentricity of @kanyewest @pharrell as well as other rappers back in 2016… and Mr T!! The producer wanted him to be voiced by Maitre Gims in France. The project, developed with the French studio @watchnextmedia was a new vision of the Aladdin myth and the 1001 nights tale. It was never sold unfortunately. So I can share with you the making of a visual development for a series! :-) #characterdesign #visdev #visualdevelopment #btod #bertrandtodesco #artistsoninstagram #aladin #aladdin #rap #rapper #hiphop #goldchain #chains #kanyewest #pdiddy #pharrellwilliams #maitregims #mrt #1001nights #1001nuits #tale #tales #clothes #clothing (at Los Angeles, California) https://www.instagram.com/p/CqIz6VaL5an/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

Jazz also turns into a superhero, Scheherazade, to fight the evil Genius with Ali/Aladdin in this new vision of the Aladdin myth. A bit like #shazam The project, developed with the French studio @watchnextmedia was never sold unfortunately. So I can share with you the making of a visual development for a series! :-) (the poses here are inspired by poses of #dcsuperherogirls I believe) #characterdesign #visdev #visualdevelopment #btod #bertrandtodesco #artistsoninstagram #superhero #aladdin #aladin #jasmine #jazz #scheherazade #superpowers #superpower #fly #flying #power #powers #green #pink #1001nights #1001nuits #tale #tales (at Los Angeles, California) https://www.instagram.com/p/CqBCKUOrv41/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

Khensu is Cleo’s teacher at the PYRAMID Academy, and believer of the prophecy.

Turnaround for digital 2D or cut-out animation (like toonboom harmony). The 3q front view is the most used view of the characters and is really close to the front view so it is appealing: the nose (if long) wont hide the eye for example). The profile view is slightly cheated: it is not a pure profile like you have to do for a 3D pipeline. - Akila is voiced by @crownjewelsk - from the Dreamworks’ TV show “Cleopatra In Space”. @dreamworks @dreamworkstv #dreamworks #dreamworksanimation #cleopatrainspace tv series #streaming on @hulu #hulu and @peacocktv #peacock #peacocktv #titmouse #characterdesign #visdev #visdevart #mainpack #graphicbible #visualdevelopment #btod #bertrandtodesco #artistsoninstagram #space #cleopatra based on the bestselling comicbook by @mikemaihack #alien #aqua #aquaticcreature #fin #seacteature #scifi #sciencefiction #akila (at Los Angeles, California) https://www.instagram.com/p/CnSGOKLJtCy/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

The twist in this new vision of the Aladdin myth, taking place in our time, was that Ali could turn into a superhero Aladdin to fight the Evil Genius.
