"The Golem" exterior shot.
Showing a giant robot half buried in a forest was trickier than anticipated, especially since I had to come up at the same time with its design, which means body shapes and head features. I put a hand in the back of the picture for scale.

"The Forest" background design I did for the Mekka Nikki TV show project pitch deck.

Challenging one, trying to get the moss right and find a proper lighting for this scene. I like to paint tree trunks but leaves and moss are always tricky.

Mekka Nikki is produced by Dada ! Animation.

"The Cave" background design I did for the Mekka Nikki TV show project pitch deck.

Rocks again! But this time, wet ones! Different exercise than the desert one.

The challenge was to render a bit of depth and show the round "doline cave" shape, with a troglodyte village in the back.
