The peaceful life of Taki ~

I don't talk a lot about profesionnal work because most of it is still under NDA. But! For the past years i've been working on a super cute upcoming show named Taki at ChouetteCo, and some concepts are already available on the website so I might as well share them here.

This is literally the cutest thing ever, with adorable chara designs by Gaelle Autin. I can't wait to show you more about this, but you'll have to be patient haha.

BAPT&GAEL : the Cosmic Ball Origins - part I

Back in fall 2015, after 4 years drawing princesses and girly stuffs on 52 half hours production of LOLIROCK, I was offered by Chouette Compagnie to draw a ballsack character ! XD Based on the famous French comic duet Bapt&Gael, the series will tell us the intergalactic adventures of a couple of idiots led by a cosmic ball ! I had to accept the job ^^ From previous designs made by Marc Lataste, and helped with photographs, I created the main characters’ designs. including this ball, Lionel :-DAt first, I tried a graphical style without line. then I liked so much to have lines only at some places. Later, I though it would be a nightmare at production stage so I prefered to erase that idea from my mind ^^

As a christmas present, the first episode of “BAPT&GAEL and the Adventures of the Cosmic Ball” reached ONE MILLION VIEWS on Youtube ! (in less than a month) I want to offer you the poster I did for the broadcaster (CANALPLAY) ‘s marketing and communication.

episode 01 is available HERE the 7 others are on CANALPLAY SVOD :-) I WISH YOU ALL A MERRY CHRISTMAS, FOLKS !!!
