Sci-fi landscapes!

I've been busy lately working on a few vey exciting films but here are a couple of pictures done a few weeks ago in my spare time. Some sort of water dam (on a far away planet as it should be) and an alien outpost of some sort ;)

Harry potter and the Deathly Hallows (part 1)

I haven't posted much lately, so here are a few concepts I've made back at MPC nearly 2 years ago for Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows.
The first one was for Bathilda (actually "Nagini-Bathilda"). The idea was to design one of the steps of her transformation into the snake: the skin would peel off like a snake's skin and the eyes would slowly die out...
I had already left MPC (to Dneg) by the time this sequence was finalised and on screen, the transformation is actually fairly quick.
The sketches are researches for Voldemort's Horcruxes: the brief I had been given at the time was describing a less ethereal entity than the one which ended up in the movie (which I think is probably more adequate and sinister than my version).
I have done a few more concepts for this movie last year and am currently working on some more for the last episode as well a a few other projects.
Hope you guys enjoyed those pictures :)

IRON MAN 2

Hi guys, I haven't posted for a while
but here are some of the concepts I've done at Double Negative vfx for the movie Iron Man 2. I had the chance to get some of my work published in "The Art of Iron Man 2" book :)
Some of them are the usual digital paintings while others are look development concepts digitally painted on top of a plate or a render to define the look of a particular shot. It is entirely done with Photoshop (apart from the sketches). I hope you guys will enjoy it and congratulations to the team at DNeg who has done such an amazing job on the very challenging "Monaco Grand Prix" sequence! ;)

G.I. Joe: Rise of Cobra

Here are a few of the look development concepts that I have done for the film G.I. Joe: rise of Cobra.
The goal of that sort of concept is to create a guide for the rest of the team allowing them to achieve the final on screen visual look for any given prop/set/creature...etc.
Here, after the diverse submarines basic 3D models had been approved by the client, my task was to make a 2D concept version of each of them which would be used as a reference in modeling/texturing/shading...
Sometimes I also had to put these same concepts in context (here under the ice Cap for example).

Harry potter and the Half-Blood Prince

Here are some of the sketches I've done back in 2007 for Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince. We were pitching at MPC on the inferies sequence at the end of the movie, involving Harry and Dumbledore fighting some sort of zombies... Virginie Bourdin was Art director for our Art Dpt at the time and we worked alongside my talented friend Olivier Pron .
The idea was to show how after all these years immerged at the bottom of this cursed lake they would end up being stuck together in the most grotesque and pitiful way...
Finally this particular sequence has been granted to ILM and MPC got all the quidditch sequences which are looking very cool :)

I am now doing some concept on the next Potter, but for Double Negative VFX this time.

Hope you guys like these sketches :) anyway.
