This illustration was only a simple colors test iI tried when I first used Sketchbook. I wanted to play with the effects of the color contrast and light luminosity contrast. Nothing special but people around seem to like it better...]]> Tue, 12 Jun 2007 02:02:31 +0000 http://douvil.cgsociety.org/gallery/447727

I created this little alien ship (droid) a long time ago. I wanted to put it in some volcanic environment, in the middle of a war. Pretty much a conceptart, an idea of shot framed.]]> Fri, 05 Jan 2007 06:23:31 +0000 http://douvil.cgsociety.org/gallery/506131

I had this image in my head for a long time. She finally came out of it. Lonely girl fighting for her people and for herself now trapped at the dead end of a dark street.]]> Tue, 12 Jun 2007 03:03:03 +0000 http://douvil.cgsociety.org/gallery/506135

Here's the main character of my first 3d animation I did at Sheridan College. The little dude is called Bob and here's his car in the background. The story is about a new millionaire who doesn't know how to deal with his money and the new gadgets that comes along whit it. I wanted to give both a realistic style to the animation (the car) and also a Pixar-like cartoony feel (Bob).]]> Tue, 12 Jun 2007 03:17:07 +0000 http://douvil.cgsociety.org/gallery/506114

This image shows the basic steps of the character's car modeling. The car is called the Stream CT. Some people might say that it looks like a Nissan Z, a Mitsubishi Eclipse or a G35. Still, it's my original design.]]> Tue, 12 Jun 2007 01:50:32 +0000 http://douvil.cgsociety.org/gallery/506115

Following the ADAPT 2006 conference in Montreal last September, I tried to used a technique that Ubisoft's conceptual artists showed us to design object (ships) fast and easily using custom made brushes out of geometrical shapes. That what I did here for this ship design. It turned out this way.]]> Tue, 12 Jun 2007 01:57:56 +0000 http://douvil.cgsociety.org/gallery/436989

I did this one for one of the mini challenge of the sketch forum. The topic was the The Purple Emperor. Here's my version of the Purple dude...Love those little challenges in the forum, keeps you motivated, pushes you to draw paint and create everyday for a purpose.]]> Mon, 04 Dec 2006 00:00:07 +0000 http://douvil.cgsociety.org/gallery/436410

Was foolin around with sketchbook on this one. Whata nice software, simple easy to use and sometime I find it better to use than photoshop when you started a sketck; no brush to make and select, just the right tools. PS is always good to refined the image after. Nice stuff Alias! I mean Autodesk...]]> Sat, 02 Dec 2006 06:19:07 +0000 http://douvil.cgsociety.org/gallery/436577

I had this image in my head for a longtime; some old european street around the XVIII century. Since its some kind of a conceptual artwork, I allowed myself to put some character in it that some of you may already know...
Still not sure about the perspective, my face was probaly to close to the screen but still it works well...hit me back]]> Sat, 02 Dec 2006 18:25:22 +0000 http://douvil.cgsociety.org/gallery/436968

I did this piece for my father. He as is own businees and every year I make the card for him to send to all his clients.
Took me about 15 to 20 hours, I can't really say. It was finished late at night, early in the morning...]]> Sun, 03 Dec 2006 22:45:20 +0000 http://douvil.cgsociety.org/gallery/506120

Here's one on my first matte painting that is worth showing... What started as a simple simple sketch turned out to be a photo realistic composition witch is exactly what I wanted to do: no painting, no 3d, only photo manipulation. I didn't want to use big chunk of photos and just put it in the montage. Each rock is unique :there's not a rock or other element (like water) thats isn't custom made out of multiple bits and pieces of real pics. Like Dilan Cole says: "You make the picture fit your sketch, not the contrary".]]> Tue, 12 Jun 2007 02:22:40 +0000 http://douvil.cgsociety.org/gallery/202953

That's the image that first came out of my mind to illustrate a poem called "Solitude" ("loneliness"). It was for a school project 3 years ago. Didn't know any 3d softwares at that time so I tried to make it looks real as possible... But its not 3d.]]> Tue, 18 Jan 2005 03:16:42 +0000 http://douvil.cgsociety.org/gallery/305442

What first started as a simple doodle end it up as this sketch. Started with Alias SketchBook and refine it with PS. I didn't use any reference for this artwork witch could have help since I didn't remember how was the body of the typical gorilla. Looks chubby to me, some kind of bigfoot. But its done...lets move to the next one.

Again,
Congradulation to master Peter Jackson and all his team for King King remake. Respect.

This illustration was for the cover a book called "Pour l'instant" ("For the moment"). This image is my inspiration from the book title. Hand made illustration, scaned and paint using Photoshop.
