Do you read me ?

"Captain ? Captain, do you read me ?"

The story behind this illustration is quite... "funny" in a pretty ironic way. Earlier this month I went to a festival and met an editor to show her my illustrations. At first I was supposed to try to see three different people, so I wanted to make a general portfolio that could suit every kind of stories. But eventually I only got the opportunity to meet one so I decided to prepare my portfolio especially for her... silly me ! The woman only had published sci-fi books for the moment and I didn't have a single sci-fi illustration. I felt sooo bad ! (Anyways, it wasn't really a problem since she said she wanted to launch a new heroic fantasy series but at first I was awkward.)

So I thought, coming back home, that I needed to be more organized and have a bit of sci-fi in my portfolio. But y'know it's always tricky... it's not that easy to think "draw something science-fiction" and to do it ! Eventually this dude appeared all by himself...

Drew the Enterprise behind him and Stitch's tiny red spaceship. Just for fun...

Mourning knight

Just a regular fantasy illustration (with tiny boobs in it ^^) but since it has a hot boy in it, and the mixed-media was interesting, I felt like sharing.

Sorry I don't have the big sketch anywhere on my computer, but here's the most important part. ^^

The knight's face expression became more serious with the inking. He's mourning someone after all...

That's a kind of dangerous bet, to go for a watercolor painted background... personally, I enjoy the result ! Of course it needed a few touches up on Photoshop to look good with the rest of the picture.

What do you guys think ? Good technique or not ?

Happy Birthday Aneros !

Here's a new picture -well, "new"... you might have seen it on the Y! a while ago now but I've been quite busy so no time to post it on the blog- commissioned by the always generous Dinosaurprince for his friend (and great artist) Aneros' birthday.

Dinosaurprince let us pick the characters we wanted to do, since we were a bit in a hurry, and there were several fanart opportunities but I preferred to honor Aneros' original characters, a trio of hot Mardi Gras boys with very cool outfits (or lack of ! XD)...

Since we were going for a kind of New-Orleans atmosphere, I decided to frame the boys with the floral ornaments you can find on the balconies of Bourbon Street and pretty old-school areas in the city. They're a pain in the crack to draw but the result is always so fancy ! ^^

And ink these bitches... talking about the Art-Nouveau ornaments, not the boys !

Do we all agree ? The pink butt cheeks are the cutest and most arousing part of this illustration, riiight ? ^^ In the end I truly hope Aneros enjoyed receiving it as much as I had fun drawing it !

Commission : Yusef

Here's a commission I recently did for the author of an original fiction named The Lord of Paderne. To sum up briefly, the hot guy on the left is Yusef and on this picture he's trying to seduce a client in a park where prostitutes tend to hang out at night... but to know everything about him you can also read this : http://lordofpaderne.deviantart.com/gallery/?offset=48#/d1p6mp1 !

I really enjoyed coloring this night atmosphere. What do you guys think ?

Zebra centaurs rule...

Zebra centaurs rule, I always knew it. Black zebra centaurs even more. But add a white mohawk and it's like one of my greatest fantasies ever ! As I said to Dinosaurprince when he told me his project, I may sound like a real ass-licker but I LOOOVE it ! (And the cute zebra unicorn ain't bad either !)

Well, yeah I totally got inspired by the Lion King for the background. No shame !

You do vector art now ?

Well no, it's complete cheating actually but I like these results ! My first try at fake-vector boys was a bear -because it's been too long since I've drawn bears !- gladiator -blame Spartacus : God of the Arena for this...-.

Then a demon, of course. It's been a while too.

Two results, I don't know which one I prefer... I just can't decide but it's definitely a set of techniques I need to explore.

Centaurs anyone ?

Due to some recent events I seriously have to reconsider this blog, well... no I just HAVE to post something on the damn' blog even though it's obvious that everybody left this place a long time ago. ^^" But I gotta show I didn't stop drawing porn, I know some people are interested ! *lol*

Anyways I just don't have time to babble too much so I'll post WIPs and sketches that show the "behind the scene" versions of my illustrations. And we start with another cool commission for Dinosaurprince, two centaurs saying hi -and a little elf slave-.

Greek temples for the win, uh ? ^__~
