Artstation Challenge - Neo Tokyo: Exponential Reality

Last year, I took part for the second time in the Artsation challenge, whose theme was based on a futuristic Japan. For this edition, we had to design 6 characters: 3 humans, adapted to new technologies, and 3 machines, designed for human needs.

I was a little reluctant to participate, as the theme was quite out of my comfort zone, but that's the whole point of a challenge after all! In the end, I really enjoyed the experience, and came up with more varied ideas than my previous attempt!
So here is my entry!

Here is also all my research for each character! We had to post some work in progress along the challenge to show our process

Golden Roi: Contest

Earlier this year, I participated in the "Golden Roi" contest, where artists were tasked with crafting a unique and original world that pushed the boundaries of imagination. It was a great opportunity to work on my storytelling and challenge myself with painting and environment, as I am not very used to it.
Here is my entry!

I also made some moodboards to organize my ideas and inspirations, at the beginning of the project

Character Design Series

For this project, I wanted to make a series of different characters, to practice my speed and creativity. The goal was to design each character in a short amount of time (1 to 2 days)

Made In Abyss: Original Character

I always wanted to create my own character, based on an existing work. I finally took the time to do so, by designing an original character in the universe of "Made in Abyss"! I love the series, and I thought it could be a great exercise to adapt my style to the anime. I tried to respect the artistic direction as much as I could as if I worked for the studio!
Here is my take!

I also based my presentation on the official character design sheets

To finish this entry, I will share some random drawings and illustrations I made over the year!
