About Samuel

Illustrator, animator and art director based in Lyon, I offer a complete service ranging from visual design to final production, either solo or in collaboration on your projects.

My approach is based on carefully listening to your needs to build a visual universe that is coherent with your atmosphere and identity. I work equally in entirely digital or traditional techniques — India ink, oil painting — or by combining the two to achieve a unique result. I adapt to each project and each client.

My services:

Animation — Complete production of 2D or 3D animated clips, participation in ongoing projects, motion design, short animations for social media or any other digital platform.

Comics & Illustration — Creation of comic book pages, custom illustrations, character design, set design, and storyboarding.

Art Direction — Definition and development of a coherent visual universe, from concept to final delivery, ensuring each image serves your project.

Tool proficiency: Procreate, Callipeg, TVPaint, Toon Boom Harmony, Blender, Substance Painter, After Effects.

    Novedjango teaser (2min50) — 3D Animation, complete production.

    September 2022 - November 2022 (2 months)
    Lyon, France
    To meet the client's artistic vision and accommodate their staging requests, the decision was made to switch to a clip entirely produced in 3D. Full project responsibility: character design, modeling, rigging, animation, and compositing. Rigging allowed for natural character deformation to serve the expressiveness of the animation. Textures and materials were developed in Substance Painter for a polished visual rendering, refined and reworked in TVPaint. Final compositing was done in After Effects. Full pipeline completed solo using Blender, Substance Painter, TVPaint, and After Effects.

    Overlaying 2D animations with a traditional look onto live-action footage, combined with 3D elements rendered with a traditional 2D effect for a cohesive visual consistency. The 3D rendering was designed to imitate the organic and imperfect look of hand-drawn art, thus meeting the client's precise artistic vision. The entire project was custom-made to fit the singer's musical and visual universe.
