The Tree of Countless Failures

Yearly drawing. This time with a tree that has the particularity of representing one stroke = one crash of the software I've been working with for the last 15 months or so. Horrendous piece of technology that got some of us on the team rather fuming.

Cybernetic self-portrait

Eleven years after the first one I draw, here's a new version of myself with some enhancements. Sorry about the quality of the pic, no scanner in here but only my phone.

Moby Dick

Have read the damn book some months ago. I didn't like it to be honest, but how the whale is described struck me because I've never seen any adaptation that matches the picture I had in mind. So be it! I did that during a bunch of breaks at work.

It's based on a picture I found on Google 'cause I didn't wanted to spend too much time on the whale itself. I only draw and "dressed" it. Please note that I keep a good yearly rhythm with my drawings...

Galaxy Storm

This one has a funny story: while working on WRC 6 and Isle of Man TT: Ride on the Edge, I was often stuck in waiting for something to load, to build or to start. Sometimes just because I needed it to start, sometimes because it crashed beforehand.
So I started making dot points on a blank paper page  to pass the time while waiting and, after some weeks, it looked like this.

Death Mask

A drawing once in a year, fucking productivism.

Not sure you get the idea, this is a helmet with an horizontal hole to let you see through. The helmet itself is engraved with a skull face.

Not even played The Phantom Pain yet when I started to draw that.

See you next year for the next draw!

The Shrike

I'm reading Hyperion since few days...

RedRadiantRadar

Saw from a distance in a dream, realised at work (on my spare time, I swear!).

From my point of view, it's a spaceship view from the top, with a very large red glass disc which is the onboard quantic computer. Somehow inspired by Hyper Light Drifter, I guess.

About the name: my working computer is a pile of junk, so I was about to write a name for the Photoshop file and the computer put three inexplicable 'R' before the extension, don't know why but I took this as a challenge to find a cool name with three 'R' and named it the RedRadiantRadar.

Globular Cluster of the Tesseract

Started as a simple dot drawing, and then colorized on PhotoShop (with some techniques from StunnyBoy) to be offered to a very special person for me. As she asked me.

It could seem dull in miniature, but I'm proud of the fact that from a distance, the picture seems drab, but if you zoom on it you can see all the details of the colored stars. Like in the real world!

Personal Jesus

Been a long time since my last dot drawing! This one was inspired by The Binding of Isaac, a game I've played for hundreds of hours. I've just imagined the child building his own Christ.

I essentially made it during the first week of an english training. Boring training, as you can imagine. But glad to myself, this was useful after all.
Thanks to my buddy JeanBar', the trip to London was a punch in the face.

Imperial's Flamethrower

Dans l'esprit du Ixien de Juillet dernier, même technique et même but recherché, sauf que là ça a pris un peu moins de deux heures en tout et pour tout. Ma longue session de PhotoShop de l'année dernière aura porté ses fruits, ça fait plaisir...
