HABITATMARS 2033

If one's ever gonna live on Mars, my take on the matter is that it's better be underground, because (you know, tornados, and stuff) it could be safer. I made this "light\easy"experimental "Habitat" concept\vis dev illustrating some parts (mainly an astronaut's resting corner on level -4) and the astronaut's suit. By the way, coincidentally, this is done for an Art challenge in a french forum ILLUSTRATION MOTIVATION (cool people), so, it's in french.

Without the faintest intension to be funny or annoy with boring reading, i´ll try to deconstruct my thought on this project in two ways.

1. The "Rant" version

At first, i thought (yes) i might not have time to put it on paper (holidays menace), but then, i am a workaholic person (and there's nothing i can do about that). At night, i slowly started doodling... and then (as usual), i started being obsessed with the thing (couldn't sleep over it). So, if i was to rest properly, i had to imagine a place where i would gladly do - my ideal sleeping room. Had to be on Mars (of course).

Last week, i got into it and worked on the interior design of that "habitat"'s corner.

Also, because i  know nothing about anything, i tried to imagine myself as a dude who's in charge of the security and rightful functioning of everything in the habitat a.k.a., the handynaut, Robert (with a french accent in the "R").

Please don't take it the wrong way. Mostly i'm having fun with stuff + it keeps me busy since i'm broke and almost homeless, so bear with me, if you please. See? I got so deep in Robert's mindset, i get to feel the space/away from home/loneliness syndrome over this.

2. The sophisticated version

So, to recap, this month, i took an art challenge on a french forum i like a lot, and i made my due, as an assignment to get my mind off other stuff.

I hope you enjoy it, and thanks for watching : )


All kidding aside, happy 2017 and don´t forget to be happy.

Cheers

IM CHALLENGE 2 SAISON 6

Je mettrais ici  mon dévelopment de ce challenge. Je commence par la moodboard (totalment nouveau pour moi) pour explorer des formes, sortir des idées, inspirer mon imaginaire quoi. Puis aussi, je cherche un encadrement en terme de composition pour une scène:

Deuxième approche: moins de bordel, plus de concentration:

Troisième approche: Étude de formes

Études de scènes ambiance:

Études de couleur:

Études pour couverture de livre (développement de la première approche):

Développement de mes idées préférées:

INKTOBER 2016

This month, for the occasion (Inktober) i had a lot of fun, making sure i did one digital ink piece per day. Happy i made it. In fact it has been a goal for quite some time now. I never felt confident enough to do it, but this year (although i didn't feel particularly any more confident than before) i thought, "screw it", i'm doing this!
Well, it was after all, mainly, an exercise, to work lines digitally. That has been a huge struggle for me. This experience has allowed me to progress in that area (i think), because i also made it a strong case to do lines in absolutely every piece i worked on this month. Now, i'll try to keep it an habit (i know me, so...) Anyways, here i post my participation pieces on Inktober. Almost all personal projects.

Cheers

Sorry, it's just simpler to go this way... never mind : )

Sketchtember Takes

Each September day, i tried to craft a portrait sketch (+mass study) for #sketchtember, more or less stylised, depending on my daily mood. Sometimes i even did a little pushup (refining) in a few ones.
It has been a lot of fun, and an incredible therapy :)  since i was able to complete the challenge i gave myself.
I think i might take it further, as in colouring them (maybe)...
In the meantime here goes (cheers):
