Having chosen the character, I then create a corresponding
background from my image libraries, while complying with
intellectual property rules. (It is important when I use images
I have not created to mention the name of the author.) After
cutting out and arranging all the elements, I try to create a graphic
harmony with the environment, lights, and colors, to complete the
universe of my design.
How do I proceed?
First I choose a subject, a word,
or an idea, then a range of colors in cool or bright shades, and then
look for related images in my image library. I look for cosplayers,
artists, or volunteers to model for the picture in my design —
working with models allows me to express more feelings in the
image. I leave the models free to pose, move, and dress as they
please; I rarely touch up the figure of the person. For me, every
figure is perfect if it is integrated into an image—the only things I
may touch up are lights, shadows, and contrasts.
