Dinner views, props and callout pages for @goatmovieofficial by Atelier Usagi director @_lea.pinto_ 🐐🍺☕

I had the chance to work on different views of the diner and several props based on a concept by @gabrielgomez_art (his original concept is in the top left of the callout pages slides 11 to 13) 🤩

Let me tell you once again I absolutely LOVED painting food 🥧🍟

I included the full callout pages slides 11 to 14
(Slide 12 : bamboo and tiles close up by @gabrielgomez_art) ✨

A huuuuuge thank you for your trust @sneadsbyree (director), adam_rosette (co-director), @richarddaskas (art director) and Jang Lee (production designer) 🙇🏼‍♀️
I learned so much working alongside you and the incredibly talented team of artists on this project 😍🤩

Frank’s apartment by Atelier Usagi director @_lea.pinto_ for the film @goatmovieofficial 🐐🏀

One of my favorite images I had the chance to paint !
The layout sketch was done by Michael Isaak 🤩
Then I had to refine the entire design and paint everything !

I added another sketch of the street in the last slide ! 👀

Poster by @_atelier.usagi_ team 🐰

Colorkey : @paulemmanuel_separi
Cleanup : @pierre_alexandre_schuller and I !

This was one of the last key visuals we worked on.
None of us knew it at the time, but it perfectly reflected the state of the team.
We kept holding on, we kept believing, we kept creating ♥️
Until the very end.
Looking at it today, it no longer feels like just a poster.
It feels like the story of everyone who worked on Blades of the Guardians ♥️

Thank you to one of the most amazing team ♥️🐰

Let's keep creating beautiful art, beautiful stories and beautiful animation together ♥️

I hope our path cross again someday ♥️

The AMAZING colorkeys for part of the Buddha Cave sequence, created by @paulemmanuel_separi at @_atelier.usagi_ !

I know I've told you this countless times already, but you did an absolutely incredible job on this sequence !

You truly brought this world to life ❤️

The full color script I had the chance to work on ♥️➡️

The full color script I had the chance to work on ⬅️♥️

Several background paintings created by @paulemmanuel_separi under the art direction and supervision of @pierre_alexandre_schuller and I at @_atelier.usagi_ 🐰

These pieces were created during the early stages of production, back when the film was still planned to use hand-crafted 2D matte paintings ♥️

HDRI sky maps painted by @paulemmanuel_separi at @_atelier.usagi_ various times of day !

These skies took an unbelievable amount of work to create (seriously... blood, sweat and tears 😅), but you did amaaaazing !

I'm so happy they made it into the official trailer, allowing a small piece of our team's work to live on ♥️

Research, discussions, countless iterations....

Detailed process guides created to support the different production team ♥️

And feedback... Countless rounds of feedback, paintovers and so much more ! by @_atelier.usagi_

Here are several of the background paintings created at @_atelier.usagi_ by the amazing @paulemmanuel_separi under the direction of Atelier Usagi directors @_lea.pinto_ and @pierre_alexandre_schuller, alongside the incredible team at @eastworks_animation for the upcoming animated feature film Blades of the Guardians ⚔️🩸

In addition to these matte paintings, @paulemmanuel_separi also created several sky and cloud HDRI maps that were used throughout the trailer, helping establish the film's atmosphere and lighting !

We're incredibly happy to have contributed to this beautiful project and to see @paulemmanuel_separi 's work featured on screen 🥰

Huge thanks to the entire @eastworks_animation team for their trust and collaboration, and a special shoutout to @paulemmanuel_separi for the outstanding craftsmanship, dedication, and stellar work he brought to every painting 🩸

We can't wait to share more from this production in the future !

Here’s the color script I (Atelier Usagi director @_lea.pinto_ eheh it's me hello 😆) had the opportunity to create for the animated feature film (and trailer) Blades of the Guardians with @eastworks_animation at @_atelier.usagi_ ⚔️🩸

The team provided me with previous color sketches and storyboards, and my task was to completely rebuild the color script from the ground up !

Beyond this color script, Atelier Usagi director @pierre_alexandre_schuller and I also had the chance to contribute as art direction consultants on various aspects of the film. A lot of that work involved look development, paint-overs, visual feedback, and notes to help refine the project's overall direction !

Most of those materials are far less "Instagram friendly" than finished artwork though, they often look more like informative sheets filled with annotations, rough paintovers and production notes 😅

Sooo if you'd be interested in seeing more of that behind the scenes development process, let me know in the comments ! I'd be happy to share some of it 🥰

Huge thanks to the incredible @eastworks_animation team for the opportunity, let's make a great film together ❤️

Here is one of the projects our studio @_atelier.usagi_ has been working on for the past several months alongside the incredible team at @eastworks_animation :
An anime adaptation of the acclaimed manhua Blades of the Guardians 🩸

I could only fit the first 1:30 of the teaser in this post, but if you'd like to watch the full 6-minute version, you'll find it on @eastworks_animation Instagram and on their YouTube channel ! ❤️

The film is still in production, and this teaser is simply a work-in-progress glimpse of the larger project the team wanted to share with the public ❤️
It is a snapshot of a project that is still growing, evolving, and finding its final shape.

This is a true passion project, created by a team of incredibly dedicated artists who are learning, improving, and pushing themselves every single day.
@_atelier.usagi_ chose to join them on this journey, and while there is still a long road ahead, we are extremely proud to work alongside such a passionate, talented, and resilient team ❤️

Over the past months, @_atelier.usagi_ has contributed to multiple color scripts, provided art direction consulting, paintovers, look development, and created several fully painted 2D backgrounds.
Some of that work may make it into the final film, some may not, but that is simply part of the creative process.

Creating an animated feature is never easy, especially when working through production realities and the many challenges that come with bringing such an ambitious vision to life. What matters most to us is seeing a team that continues to learn, adapt, and move forward despite every obstacle ❤️🩸

We're honored to be part of this adventure and can't wait to see where it leads 🥹

Please send some love to the artists and filmmakers behind this project ❤️

Thank you to the @eastworks_animation team ❤️
Thank you to Atelier Usagi director @pierre_alexandre_schuller, to our incredible vis dev artist @paulemmanuel_separi and Atelier Usagi director @_lea.pinto_ (it's weird to thanks myself 😂) for your AMAZING work on this project at @_atelier.usagi_ ❤️🐰

Here’s the long cityscape we had the chance to create at @_atelier.usagi_ with Transdyne for the newly released Blizzard @playoverwatch Shion Hero Trailer – End of the Line 🔫😈

Landmark buildings are based on an early concept by the amazing @oscar_cafaro 🤩

Atelier Usagi directors @pierre_alexandre_schuller and I (@_lea.pinto_ ) worked on this piece together in parallel to be as efficient as possible given the scope of the cityscape and the tight production schedule 💪🏼

The goal here was to build a long, flexible paint that could be reused and broken down across multiple shots in the trailer, so the city could be easily extended, cropped, and reinterpreted depending on the needs of each scene !

It was super fun to work on something this long as a duo 💜
Splitting areas, bouncing back and forth on design decisions, and trying to keep everything readable while still pushing detail where it mattered !

Always a pleasure to work on projects like this one !! by @_atelier.usagi_

Here are some more concept art pieces and background paintings Atelier Usagi director @pierre_alexandre_schuller had the chance to create at @_atelier.usagi_ with Transdyne for the newly released @playoverwatch Shion Hero Trailer – End of the Line 🔫

Lots of cityscapes this time !

Beyond the final paintings, he also created most of the buildings as individual flats so the team could easily mix, match, and assemble new backgrounds whenever needed. A giant Overwatch city-building Lego set basically !

We always love this kind of work because it sits somewhere between environment design and production problem solving : creating assets that look good on screen while remaining flexible enough for the rest of the team to build upon.

Hope you'll enjoy spotting some of the little details hidden throughout the city 👀 by @_atelier.usagi_

Some of the concept art pieces and background paintings I (@_lea.pinto_ , Atelier Usagi director blahblaaah) had the chance to create at @_atelier.usagi_ with Transdyne for the newly released @playoverwatch Shion Hero Trailer – End of the Line 🔫😈

The vending machine was an absolute blast to work on. I may or may not have hidden a few easter eggs in there eheh... 👀

Also featuring : a random moon painting 🌙😂

I wasn't really sure what to do with it, and it definitely didn't deserve a post all by itself, so I sneaked it in at the end of this carousel.
Luckily, the colors worked well together ahah !
