I've been recording some videos of me playing Minecraft. Someone made a witty comment about a creeper being adopted by spiders, so I simply had to draw it!

Took me about 10 minutes to draft it. It was my first contact with The Gimp too.

Yeah, right, I know. And the Oscar for weird titles goes to...

Took me about 3 hours and a half of coloring. Don't know what went wrong through my mind with that one.

I did this illustration for the Ben Bova novel named Mars.

The initial inspiration for this came from a Juan Gimenez illustration named Jupiter. I have no idea what the original picture represented, and I'm aware that his "thing" was rather technological than biological, but sometimes imagination flies way beyond the initial intention.

This is supposed to represent a living, self-aware and intelligent creature. I have a pretty good idea of its body structure and I have described it in a blog entry one day (in French, sorry).

Strange, really. I felt like drawing a giant tree on a sheet of paper, but I couldn't decide what to put beneath its roots. It took me several days to finally decide for a simple hill and forest. Then I couldn't figure out what colors would fit it best. After much thinking, I went for a night sky and put a light source at the very foot of the tree. And at the last minute, I added the funny flying sparkles and decided they were faeries! So much for the inner vision of the artist! :op

Another uninteresting scribble during a meeting. But with the help of Paint Shop Pro to add some (strange) colors and a few clouds, it became quite pleasing, don't you think?

Now that's embarassing! I have no idea what this one represents, although I like it a lot. I just followed my instinct, grabbed a marker pen for the first time in several years, and drew a bunch of floating rocks.

Sketch drawn at work. This one took me totally by surprise, as the last time I had drawn something that pleased me was such a long time ago.
Somehow I managed to introduce kind of a cartoon feel into it, don't you think?

Note that the large version can be printed on an A5 page without losing too much detail.

This peaceful landscape makes me think of The Lord of the Rings. It was part of a screen saver that would show different weather in turn (night, sun, mist, rain, etc.).

This illustrates a dramatic episode of the Akira comic strip. Notice that the picture only contains 16 colors. All those lovely gradients involve a lot of manual dithering.

This is Neo-Tokyo city, also from the Akira comic strip. Many people have asked me how all those little lights were made. Well, I drew them one at a time using a magnifying tool in Deluxe Paint 2. Nothing outstanding, really. Just a lot of time spent clicking.  :o)
