"The Golem" interior shot #1.

This one was really cool to work on, trying to get the best of that oppressive and humid feeling the production wanted. We're in the belly of an old and wrecked Golem.

I wish I had more time to explore much more claustrophobic scenes, to see how far I could push it.

"The Golem" exterior shot.
Showing a giant robot half buried in a forest was trickier than anticipated, especially since I had to come up at the same time with its design, which means body shapes and head features. I put a hand in the back of the picture for scale.

"The Forest" background design I did for the Mekka Nikki TV show project pitch deck.

Challenging one, trying to get the moss right and find a proper lighting for this scene. I like to paint tree trunks but leaves and moss are always tricky.

Mekka Nikki is produced by Dada ! Animation.

"The Cave" background design I did for the Mekka Nikki TV show project pitch deck.

Rocks again! But this time, wet ones! Different exercise than the desert one.

The challenge was to render a bit of depth and show the round "doline cave" shape, with a troglodyte village in the back.

"Desert canyon" background design I did for the Mekka Nikki TV show project pitch deck.

I love painting rocks so this one was a real treat, and one of my favorite of the whole set.

I added a fun extra one I sent to the studio for a quick laugh (which also shows my inspiration and why I like painting rocks. ^^)

"The village" background design I did for the Mekka Nikki TV show project pitch deck.
This one contains 6 depth layers, fully painted, meant to be "animated" in After Effects to add a cool parallax effect.

Mekka Nikki © Dada! Animation, based on the comicbook series by Felix Laurent & Exaheva.
Characters by Antoine Bouzin.

I'm trying to figure out what the architecture would look like in the city I'm building for my novel & I've been very inspired by the oppressive style of Brutalism.

So I took a screenshot from Google Earth to make this, also to practice my perspective work ^^
