Goods and Services

A couple of weeks ago, I helped my good friend Ben Simonsen to finish a few illustrations for a weekly paper in Reno called 'Reno News & Review'. This was for their 'Best of Edition' which focused on things to do in Reno with such topics as 'Night Life, Green, Kids & Family, Fun & Gaming, Personalities, The Outdoors, Dining, etc.'
Ben gave me his sketches, I rendered them and he applied some color layers on top to finish them. That was a fun collaboration! Here is the first one (out of four).

Robert the Thief and Sebastien the busy/happy man

One of the reason why I don't post as often as I used to lately is because I'm teaching a class of Computer Illustration at Salt Lake Community College on top of my full time work at Disney, my freelance work, my new graphic novel project (see above) and... and it keeps going on and on!
But I'm not complaining! I'm having a lot of fun doing all these things and feel pretty lucky to live of my art.
Thank you so much for all your comments and support. I wish I had time to answer all of you personnaly.
Here is a quick demo I painted for my class this morning: Robert The Thief.

Take care everybody!

Sci-Fi

Here are the first sketches for the Main Character of a new Graphic Novel I'm working on. It's been a while since I wanted to try a sci-fi story. I never did it before. It's going to be interesting. The story is shaping up nicely. I'll keep you posted!

Oldies

That's annoying! Everything I'm working on these days, at work or outside of work is top secret!
But I started a graphic novel I'm pretty excited about a couple of weeks ago. I'll probably post the first character and environment studies for it here soon!
Have a good one,

Seb

Chicken Little II

High concept piece for the final boss.

Quick Sketch

A good old Utah landscaping.

The Tower

Man! It's been a while! Sorry everyone for the lack of post. A few months ago, Avalanche gave me the chance of being Concept Lead on our new big project. It's an honor and a big responsability. I don't have much time for my own projects on the side anymore. But I managed to finish "The Tower", a 4 pages Graphic Novel that I started a while back. Here is one of the panel. When it will get published, I will post it here... and in english too! :)

See you soon everybody! I'm gonna try to post more often again.

Just one of these days

Jasper, the One Man Band

It's been a while...

Vacation

Hello friends,

Sorry for the lack of communication. I came back to France at the start of the month for some vacation. I thought I'll have time to paint and draw but I was wrong! :)
So I probably won't post until the start of next month.

Anyway, I hope everybody is doing fine,

See you soon,

Seb

Rhino Sketche

I don't have much time to blog lately, sorry guys. I'll get back to it soon. I have a few nice illustrations on the way.
Here is a little sketche in the mid time, just for fun. That represents how tired I am lately! :)

Oh feedback, great feedback!

Here is a new version of the Gangster. I changed the shadow, the tommy gun and the left hand. Thanks to Reed Hawker, Adam Ford, Dave Malan and David Bybee for the feedback!
I think feedback is one of the coolest thing about blogs. I encourage every visitors on this blog to give me some. Don't be afraid to do it even if you don't know me or if you feel like you're not good enough to do it. Even if you don't draw and paint, you can still give great feedback. For example, it didn't take any art background to my good friend David Bybee to notice that the tommy gun on this picture was all wrong!! :) (I drew it in the car without reference)
Take it easy everyone,

Seb

One Hour Study

Thank you very much to everyone for your support and feedback. I'll probably go back to the Gangster illustration to change a few things. In the mid time, here is another lunch study. This one was very hard to paint: the color pallet is so different that what I'm use to and the values were really hard to get. I'm pretty satisfied with the result though.
