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.

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.
