Et un dernier post sur mes recherches pour le film de DOFUS, cette fois-ci sur la “Bouchère de Brakmar”, Julith, très différente de la version finale de Xavier Houssin (qui a mon sens a gagné en caractère et en nuance, la mienne étant surement un peu trop “maléfique” de base...)

And one final post on my concepts for the DOFUS movie, this time on the “Brakmar Butcheress”, Julith, very different from the final version by Xavier Houssin (i guess more subtle than mine, probably too much basic “evil” )

More concepts for Ankama’s “Abraca” videogame. After the “Djinn class” Krok Hunters here is the “Wolf class” and their mentor : the sadly famous Big Bad Wolf. They live in the very cold forest of winter and are the toughest fighters of Imagi (The fairy tale World).

Here are some concepts done for one of the many prototypes of the videogame, presenting the “Djinn Class” Krok Hunters and their universe.
