Hello Tumblr, happy (very late) holidays!

So, I mainly post art in this blog, but actually my main job is 3D rigging. What's 3D rigging?

In 3D animation the animator uses a "puppet" that he then animates. However to move the "puppet" you need a skeleton and a set of controls to allow the "magic" to be made. This is the role of the 3D rigger, to create the skeleton so that the "puppet" can move. The process is similar in 2D puppet animation by the way.

So enjoy my 3D rigging showreel, featuring the characters from the animated short "Emboucanator"!

The trailer of our animated short film Emboucanator is out! This was a team effort done at Ecole MOPA between me, David Renoux, Simon Renoux, Pauline LISI, Sarah Levacher-Robinet and Hadrien Brenn. Enjoy!

So a few weeks ago, the Ecole MOPA graduation animated short Emboucanator was projected in the Théâtre Antique in Arles. It was a team effort between me, Pauline LISI, Sarah Levacher-Robinet, Hadrien Brenn, Simon Renoux and David Renoux. The entire short wil be available more or less a year from now, so for now enjoy the poster and some images, trailer coming soon!

Back in August the italian Disney comics forum Papersera asked its users to draw a celebratory logo for its twentieth anniversary. These were my two submissions. They weren't picked, but it was still fun doing it (congrats to Max Monteduro and Lorenzo De Pretto again)!

A concept art created for "Raifort Samurai", I wanted to explore how to create an interesting dusk setting. Enjoy!

This animated short answered a unique question: what would happen if you crossed Caspar David Friedrich's paintings and Monty Python's Holy Grail? Created at MoPA by me, Simon Renoux and Pauline Lisi.

So, I had a 3D exercise where the goal was to recreate in 3D a character from a pre-existing 2D artwork. The only limitation was that I had to choose from the ArtStation Challenge around the theme of Feudal Japan (https://www.artstation.com/challenges/feudal-japan). The original art was created by Servane Altermatt, go check her page on ArtStation (https://www.artstation.com/shaose)! Enjoy!
