Something different, an old one back from my art school years.

It was supposed to get printed with the risography method but sadly the project never get to life. I still like the illustration I did there.

A robot portrait I sketched at work a while back. Finally finished it !

I'd like to dig more into classical paintings for reference for later works. There's always something so powerful about it.

"The universe holds many wonders to the eye to see. Places so unbelievable, their stories have crossed the stars. But there is one wonder, unlike any other, that actually dances with them.

The being of gold. They call him a traveler.

Light is bringing him to life. As he can fade on the shadow of a large world when dancing in the deep space. You can see him only with a wide open gaze on the suns. The moving star is actually his trail. Some souls had the chance to describe him.

Light that crosses his path, reflects on a pair of antennas, and filaments at the edge of his fingers and around his shoulders. They're the "living ornaments" that the Xima's copyists described. Then light swipes on his spine and other visible muscles that where sketched so many times by aprentices on Nibotir's artist workshops. And finally its glow appeares the best on his pearls. His countless pearls. Periade compared them to their undergroung jewels. The most beautiful of all.

That is, how we know the visitor of all worlds.

We call him the Golden Voyager."

New Golden Voyager art ! Feature a texte inspired by what I started writing about my story with the Olympics characters.

It started as a sketch study of the pose, but I really liked what I could do with it.

Olympic trio !

May I present you to Phantom, Jeanne and the Golden Voyager (Goldy for short). I finally drew them all together ! Nothing original for the names, I took the different versions I liked the most from what I've seen people call them.

I can't wait to draw more about the story I got for these three. And to develop their personnalities.

The Golden Voyager, my most recent work ! A tedious yet very fun illustration to make, combining the costume with space imagery was a blessing to the eyes for me ha ha !

I will surely draw them later, I have lots of other things with the torchbearer and the horsewoman.

I did this silly comic the day after the closing ceremony of the Olympics, at that very moment I became obsessed with the characters and wanted to build a story with them. I am just getting started, so expect a lot more coming soon about these three !

The Logbook is my final art school year project. It is a graphic novel telling the story of a robot photographer travelling across his planet to take picture of every different people and cultures of its inhabitants. Here you have concept sketches and the final illustrations. Creating all the different cultures and costumes was a ton of fun, I love creating stuff like this and was very happy to push the process to professional standards.

Robots ! I love robots, they’re always good art subjets for me. I’ve been experimenting visualy a lot with them lately, and it’s so fun ! I like when they look sweet, when they look scary and anything really.

A mix of different Sonic the Hedgehog illustrations done over the years. I got really inspired when Sonic Frontiers came out. Also yes, Metal Sonic is my favourite character.

Planets. A series of illustration I did back in 2022 during art school to challenge myself.

Back on Tumblr after… 4 years (I checked).

Hum how do you start anew ?

Let's go back to the basics !

Hi, I'm laqiraly ! I am a French illustrator and concept artist ! For the last 4 years, I graduated from high school, studied 3 years at art school ; got my diploma, and internship and my futur job in the same day. Now it's been a year since I started !

My work reflects what I love : science-fiction, robots, space imagery. And also fandom stuff too, I still am a Sonic the Hedgehog fan. But you have to know that I am currently obsessed with the Paris 2024 Olympics characters.

I'm rather a slow artist. I don't follow trends and like better to put time and dedication in what I do. But I'll try to stay active

But I'll start posting my recent work pretty soon ! I hope to meet new people with common interest ! If you want to see my whole art journey, you can follow me on Instagram. And for more Sonic things head to my Twitter, same username everywhere.

Thank you for reading and see you soon !

Inktober (4 and last)

And because there's a 31 to October here's the last drawing.

This is actually my second Inktober. And like last year I made it completely. But I feel like I enjoyed more this year than last one. But I am very glad to have made it, and it was very fun !
