About Me

Hello,

I studied 2D animation, primarily as a storyboard artist, 2D animator, and composer, in addition to my ongoing interest in project production management.

Since childhood, my goal has been to create my own universe. Alongside my studies, I opened a small 2D animation studio where, as the author of my universe and art director, I built, trained, and led my own team. As part of a pre-production project, I created a datapack for the 10-episode series, which was presented at the Cannes and Annecy festivals.
In addition, I've launched several manga and webtoon projects, including a complete season of the webtoon, which I self-published as a manhwa. The manga is still ongoing.

While extremely versatile, I maintain a strong focus on creating worlds and all their elements (worldbuilding), which I've developed over the past four years. My ability to imagine and conceptualize world-building elements (whether it's characters, locations, levels, their atmosphere, or how they function), and then make them work within the story (the narrative), is undoubtedly my strength.

I'm very attentive to your needs and will adapt to your goals, regardless of the medium (digital or traditional). Depending on your skill level and objectives, I'll also discuss the market and strategies to avoid future mistakes.

I'll guide you using what I consider the best methods to improve your skills without stressing out, using both classic techniques (basic work, character design, volume, etc.) and more modern ones (because good drawing requires asking the right questions: what medium, what target audience, what style, etc.).

In short, if you want to learn how to create your own manga, webtoons, or even animation, or improve your portfolio, I'll share all the tips I've learned over the last 10 years.

Artistically,
Marc
