Creative people challenge themselves to think outside the box. Others just follow trends and copy what they’ve already seen. One thing led to another, and I ended up doodling my own starter pack (which honestly felt more exciting than updating the portfolio with past few years of concept work piling up ^^’). As a concept artist, not all my sketches are super polished, most are rough doodles. Some are even knowingly destined for the bin, simply meant to help clients visualize what works… or what doesn’t. My job is to translate ideas, even when the brief is vague or unspoken, and shape them into something unique and unexpected. Not just trendy or shiny, but thoughtfully tailored to each project and its audience. *No generative shortcuts: just hand-drawn, with a spark of imagination. This isn’t about rejecting tech. It’s about remembering what human creativity still does best.

  January has already almost flown by, and as always, it’s tricky to share updates when most of my work is still under NDA. But I’m excited about what’s ahead, and as I m turning a page to a new chapter, I hope to be able to share more with you very soon. How’s 2025 treating you so far? ( I can still send you some belated wishes, we re still in January after all ...and with the lunar new year starting , it feels like a perfect timing to celebrate fresh beginnings 🤗)

KERIKIL (derived from the Indonesian word for "pebble") is a handmade ceramic collection inspired by the Wabi-Sabi philosophy, reflecting natural simplicity and embracing the humble elegance of imperfection for everyday rituals. Each piece,whether a plant holder, incense holder,tea cup or decorative little companion,captures the essence of pebbles, bringing grounding energy and some cuteness and comfort to your space.

After a bunch of professional trainings and Tutorials from Domestika   to get more deep into 3D modeling and lighting, I decided challenge myself  within a few days bootcamp to design a little something from scratch to celebrate Chinese New Year. The full process is explained better here in my portfolio ,so check it out ! ;)  Meanwhile, here you can take a look on the final render  :  ~ The Illustration was available as a free wallpaper for February's supporters.

Just something done quickly on my spare time for my practice ... Part of my training learning 3D was to feel more comfortable in intuitive sculpt ,directly creating and hand painting a character in the 3D sofware. I like very cartoony and stylized artstyles so here is a cute chunky creature with a bumpy little butt~ you can see more of this project in my various 3D projects from my Behance Portfolio  

Remember when I drew this comic during the pandemic and ask to my followers to participate ... This made us all busy for a few weeks ! Would you like some more?

I'm specialized for many years now in 2D , animation,traditional and digital illustration, concept and visual development, storytelling,... And that's already a lot! So when it comes about 3D , i usually prefer to delegate that task to someone who's specialized in that!  But as those past few years I've been creating more and more concepts for 3D teams,  I decided it was time for me to learn it too...at least to have a better understanding of the process and the challenges, to adapt my Sketches the best for my teammates!  The first step is usually the most difficult: it took me some time to make room in my schedule for something that would probably come with headaches. But the experience was actually more enjoyable and easier than i thought...  My pinterest Board for Pastel Pop cakes, donuts and other cute pastries I was inspired by Yasmin Islas Domingez course on Domestika to create this Kawaii little character made of sugar with Blender....

            Voici notre participation au Ludum Dare Challenge n°38, réalisée en 72h avec mon ami  Lars  . Pour coller au thème "Small World", nous avons choisi de créer un jeu atmosphérique, où pour survivre, des créatures devraient manger et évoluer dans un petit écosystème. Pour en voir un peu plus, allez voir mon  Portfolio ! Testez ce jeu en suivant  ce lien  !  Here is our entry to the Ludum Dare challenge n°38, made from scratch under 72h with my friend  Lars  . When the theme "small world" came out, we thought about creating an atmospheric game, creatures should have to eat to survive and evolve in this ecosystem!

Un projet d'illustration que j'ai réalisé il y a quelques années pour 'Le Coin Récré', un terrain de jeu composé de plusieurs panneaux interchangeables. Pour le prototype, on est parti sur le thème du cirque, qui permettait de créer plusieurs activités pour que les enfants puissent jouer à la marchande, au thêatre de marionnettes, colorier et préparer des spectacles. Les materiaux utilisés sont principalement des éléments en carton à clipser , des stickers, papier et papier non-tissé. Peu couteux et légers, ils permettent d'agencer et ranger facilement les panneaux, et les enfants peuvent aussi dessiner directement dessus ou les customiser. Plus d'images dans mon portfolio ! Here is an illustration work I've done a few years ago for 'Le Coin Récré', a toy design project composed of several interchangeable screens. We choosed a Circus theme for the prototype, to create a full playground for children to play Shop, Puppets, create shows and colouring....

Un test que j'ai fait en quelques jours pour re-designer un jeu King . Après avoir travaillé presque 7 ans exclusivement dans l'industrie du jeu video, j ai pensé que ça pouvait être une bonne façon de partager mon processus et mon expertise auprès de mes clients, notamment en montrant comment je peux optimiser un projet suivant des contraintes de temps et de coût.  Voir le process dans mon  portfolio  ! Here is a test I made within in couple of days, to redesign  a pre-existing game  for King.  Working in the mobile game industry since almost 7 years, I thought it was also a good promotional way to share my process with my clients and to show how I can optimize their projects to fit in different limitations.  Enjoy the full process in my  Portfolio !
