That's fantastic! Our artworks for this contest could easily fit into the same narrative universe. 😄

Thank you so much Mihaela! :)

Thank you, Patrice. I referred to it as a personal IP, but currently, I don't intend to develop an actual intellectual property, like a video game or TV series. It's more of a small universe I'm cultivating in my mind to improve my skills in creating something specific, in this case, pirate-themed, instead of creating generic paintings.

By the way, I drew a lot of inspiration from the master Anthony Eftekhari; he was a key reference for the key art. :)

Patrice Leymarie I will share more in the coming days :)

Thank you, Patrice. I'm glad you liked it! You're absolutely right about the lens flare. As for the production, I entirely created it in 3D and then used photobashing in post-production. Of course, I retouched some parts in Photoshop with some painting intervention.
