I hope you'll like it ! Thank you for your time and consideration.

Imperias 77 
A milestone Project

This is Imperias 77 the milestone project I did at Artside School!
We had a month to create a concept project featuring characters, creatures and environments.

The project needed to be thought as video game concepts, so I created mine with turn based RPG in mind.
I imagined the characters as an elite squad, fighting in uchronic Napoleonic wars of the 19th century.
Each member of the squad was meant to have his own abilities and perks. 

Starting with the Commander, a resolute, sharp and competent woman who lead the whole squad.

The second one I created was teh creature tamer with his Sniffer. 
Both work together : The creature tamer can communicate with creature in a way that no one else in the squad can, and the Sniffer can track down enemies.

The Sniffer was inspired by badgers and mustelids in general. I really wanted it to have its own personality, as a whole member of the squad.

The next one was the Heavy Gunner. I wanted a strong character that could instantly blast enemies with her imposing flamethrower!

The last one of the squad was the Stealth Agent, a sneaky character that could assassinate his enemies.

After that I created some enemy soldiers and had a lot of fun created coats of arm for each side.

Then I imagined a creature that could crawl through these burnt battlefields. I wanted to create a deadly insect monster.

What could represent correctly a battlefield, plunged into darkness, the sky darkened by ashes ? This is what I thought when painting the battlefield!

I also thought of props that could be used as assets.

Here's a rough idea of UI and what the game would look like.

Here was everything about my Milestone project, Imperias 77!
Big thanks to all the professors and team at Artside School who helped me throught this project!

Salkhi
Artstation Challenge : When animal ruled the world

Moving on with the latest Artstation challenge I participated in!
I decided to go for the props section of the challenge. The goal was to create 4 props. They should tell how an animal civilization would create and used these objects.

I imagined a world ruled by birdly hunters that live on top of mountains.

The first one I created was this hunting dagger. I wanted to push its utility further than just cutting stuff. I wanted to be clearly linked to birds.

Next one was a golden cage used during the hunts to attract preys.
It was super fun to imagine how the cage would open or what use it could have for the hunt!

Third one was the riflebow, once again I really wanted to push ideas further, and go with multiple uses props!

As the last props, I wanted to have something that could link all of the previous props, but also complete the idea of the hunt. That's why I thought about a hot air balloon!

That's all for the Artstation Challenged I participated in! I got the unique chance to end up on the podium as a 3rd position,  I can't still realize it! This was a difficult challenge, I'm just glad I was able to finish it.

Zdivlas
Personal Project

The last thing I want to present you is one of my personal project, Zdivlas.
It's the story of two monster hunters, a student and her master, on their journey.

First, the master : a cold, experimented hunter. He know the ways and despite his advanced age, he can still move and kill in a feral way.

Next, the apprentice, full of energy and excitment, she loves to learn and is the only weak spot of her master.

I realized some illustration and mood to catch their particular relationship on various moments.

Various design works !

Various work I made during my year at Artside School during workshop! 
Thanks for the help of all my mentors!

That's all ! Thank you so much for your time !

The end !
