Baseball illustration

Here's the latest illustration I created for Mon Mag a Moi. I added the preliminary sketches I did to get to the final idea. The second sketch was my favorite but they wanted to depict the fun and teamwork aspect of baseball and less the competitive side. I'm still very happy with the shot that was chosen, I got to draw a bunch of different characters in dynamic poses.

By the way if you've never seen a baseball pitch in slow motion, youtube it. It looks painful.

S

I did a couple of illustrations for Mon Mag a Moi. They are like games you see on the back of cereal boxes, the ones where you have to find errors. The theme was dessert, so I did them and sent them off to the client. Here's the kicker... the theme wasn't desserts but desert! So I had to do another set!! So, I saw the sun come up a few times this week and got to post a few more illustrations on this blog. Here's the 2 sets and a close up.

By the way, there's 7 errors!

Premier Jeux Interplanetairs

These illustrations will be found in the magazine QUAD9 for a story about the galactic games of 2090, on Saturn. The athletes get infected by space dust and the doctors find out about a remedy from the Saturnians. It was nice to work on a story that touches current events: the H1N1 and the upcoming winter games.

I tried to keep the illustrations simple with a limited palette. They are on a beige background because I wanted to show you how I cut them. I can't wait to see them printed!

Kinou au Zoo

Another project for CFORP, this time for the Mon Mag a Moi magazine. The story was about an alien kangaroo teleported to a zoo on earth and then getting himself in a little trouble. I had a lot of fun with the characters and colors for this one.

Minimag

Here's a few illustrations I worked on last month for CFORP's new magazine, Minimag. They're going to publish at least 2 other issues that I hopefully will have the chance to work on. Later this year, all the stories and illustrations will be gathered into a huge book so teachers can read along with the kids. The illustrations really changed from the beginning to the end of the project. The characters and over feel needed to be ajusted quite a bit. Check out the first character sketches and the finished product!

Donnie Darko

Happy Halloween everyone. This month' sketchy business theme was Halloween. I decided to draw Donnie Darko... It's Halloween at the end of the film, so it fit the theme! Here's the full illustration and some sketches I did from screencaps of the film. None of them really look like Jake Gyllenhaal, but I wasn't trying to do a portrait or anything like that.

Carcajou 2.0

The publisher of the science magazine I am working for decided to make a completely different mag aimed towards a younger audience. So they asked me to revamp my comic strip designs to be kid friendly. Here's the new designs and some visuals from the first and second issues, as well as the full 2 other comics.
