Dofus (livre 1: Julith) the animation feature film is out there and it’s looking good, I am not missing it! By the way I almost forgot that I worked on the film’s backgrounds early development…6 years ago! So here are some roughs and sketches that I did at that time. It was a short but very nice experience. I remember the team was very small at the beginning: Arnaud Dewaele (background director on Wakfu’s animated TV series), Xavier Houssin (lead chara designer on the TV series too) Jean Jacques Denis and Anthony Roux (both directors on the film). So many talented people in a room! And the story looked wonderful… If you like 2D animation you should go and see it: It looks really fun, fresh and new! Dofus (livre 1: Julith) le film est sorti en salles et ça a l'air super, je vais pas le rater! D'ailleurs j'ai failli oublier que j'avais travaillé au développement quand le projet était assez jeune… il y a déjà 6 ans! Donc voici quelques rouges et esquisses que j'ai fait à cette époque là. C'était une courte mais très bonne expérience car on était une petite équipe au début: Arnaud Dewaele (chef décor pour la série animée Wakfu’s), Xavier Houssin (lead chara design pour la série wakfu aussi) Jean Jacques Denis et Anthony Roux (tous les deux à la réal du film). Tellement de talent dans une pièce! Et l'histoire avait l'air superbe aussi… Si vous êtes amateurs d'animation 2D vous devriez allez le voir au cinéma: Ca a l'air très sympa, frais et surtout nouveau!

I got sick of my twitter icon so I doodled a new one. It’s kinda of a self-portrait but a bit idealized? I do want to get the hang of this blocky style of drawing and colouring, though.

There are few young artists I’ve encountered in the last 10 years who, upon meeting has instantly inspired me. Like, seriously. Whenever I see Toronto resident/ born and raised Accra, Ghana, West African creative wunderkind, Gyimah Gariba’s work, I am reminded that in some small way, the future of art/animation will be okay for us, lol. I discovered Gyimah’s amazing work online some 3-4 years ago, sharing his work amongst my peers. He was 19 at the time I believe.  I miraculously got to meet him the following year in person on Season 1 of Black Dynamite:The Animated Series. He, along with a couple of other animation expats were there for an internship at Titmouse animation studio helping out on the show. He was 20 years old then, and, imo was just too good for his age. I thought of him an “old soul” in animation: a reincarnation of some art master in a past life, possessing him to spread his skill in this era. In this life, haha. At only 23 years old, he’s just unreal. His work speaks to me in so many ways: it’s vibrant, expressive, genuine and full of love, much like him. I’ve bragged about knowing him often, I’m doing it again. I believe he will be one of the true, new voices in the global animation community. Keep an eye on him, I sure will continue to. ^^
