Strange birds. Painter 12. Trials with a new pencil brush.

Some (really) quick sketches done from scratch (the starting shape is a sphere) in order to discover the new ZBrush4 R2 features. I really like how dynamesh allows you now to consider Zbrush as a pure and limitless concept tool. Discover more about it on the pixologic website. I would like to experiment more now and practice a little bit to feel perfectly comfortable with this software.

First Post

2010-01-01T01:45:00.000-08:00

Hello, I’m Simon Loche. Concept Artist, Character Designer, Comic Book Artist and Art Director.

I provide quality artworks and assets for the entertainment industry.You will find on this website some of the most representative of my artworks, jobs, sketches, trials or even random thoughts. Of course this is not exhaustive and many drawings are still under Non Disclosure Agreements, but most of what is shown here is what I’m proud of.I hope you will enjoy your time here and feel absolutely free to give your comments on what you see.

Redoing here a blogger version of my previous blog.

This is very formal, I know. Honestly I don't know a very smart way to begin writting this blog and I guess that I am much more inspired when I am talking about drawings rather than talking about myself. Ok, just forget this first post and read the other ones. ^^
