Project artists

Charlie Pradeau

Hi, I'm Charlie! I'm a French illustrator and concept artist based in Toulouse. After graduating from a 3D school, I decided to focus more on pre-production work! I also do a lot of photography and video projects, and I always aim for a "cinematic" feel, whether it's in my illustrations or photos/videos.

Philomène Dont

Hi 🙂 I'm Philo, a graphic designer based in Paris, I love cute stuff such as plushes, small animals or kawaii mascots, but I am deadly afraid of butterflies, and I think it reflects pretty well in my work (not the butterflies part). I get inspired by pretty much everything, from nice food to quality time with friends, and I like to capture those moments by taking my camera everywhere with me.

Shota Okimoto

I’m Shota Okimoto, a 2D Animator from Tokyo Japan! I'm in love with sketching people in public and picking up stories from them. And movies :)
