For study purpose I decided to create more digital paintings based on real photography references, to work on my anatomy and shading skills of realism paintings. This time I grabbed an image of Gemma Arterton from the movie Hansel & Gretel: Witch Hunters.

Personal project

Empire of Shadows was a game prototype concept developed to rework the walkthrough RPG genre to a up-to-date state. The prototype was going through conception and early programming stage, even received funding of a publisher. I worked on the project as a 3D & Concept Artist as well as on the user interface.

Before Halo was officially released for PC by Microsoft, I was asked by an American team to support their project about bringing Halo to the PC by using the Unreal Engine. As an huge Halo fan myself, I took the opportunity to work on one of the teams MARK design concepts, bringing it to 3D and into the game prototype.
