Edouard Noisette

Some stuff from last summer : I did these images for the latest artstation challenge, whose theme was “Dragon’s rise”. A good occasion to do some fantasy environment ! It’s a mix between line arts, photoshop and blender work.

Pierce-the-sky Manor, isolated on the top of a hill, deep within the forests of Boromea, is said to shelter a witch, or an even worse evil at the top of its towers... On the red moon nights, dark creatures gather around, beckoned by whatever hides there.

I realize I have not done any presentation post since I came back ! So I am Edouard, a concept artist based in Bordeaux, France, currently working at ubisoft as a senior concept artist on Assassin’s Creed Mirage. Here’s some older stuff based on my IP Igrin, a dark fantasy illustrated novel inspired from Bloodborne, lovecraftian lore and XIXth century Europe. You can find some more recent art on my artstation : https://www.artstation.com/silber And for a more “curated” version there’s my website : https://www.edouard-noisette.com/

"Finding a good shooting position is always important. Getting on top of these parts of the cathedral was challenging, but from there I could see everything... And shoot anything !" A fun thing done with blender, inspired from my IP "Igrin" and of course from Bloodborne

- BEYOND THE VEIL - As they walked through the catacombs, Jena and Alma crossed into a different place. The cinders of an unseen fire were falling on the ground, and remains of giants beings dominated the underground landscape. Or was it idols to unseen gods ? While progressing through the eldritch landscape, the spies witnessed structures mirroring Igrin's buildings, but crumbling, with doors opening on nothing, as if it was another version of the city swallowed by the veil. It could have been a grotesque parody, but the bones at the feet of the architectures seemed very real. Finally, after passing through another giant skull, the two spies reached a cliff. The darkness below was deep, and it felt like it was opening to the center of the earth. A chill went through Jena's spine, she felt like something there was watching. Or was it where they came from ? A series of illustrations based on my illustrated novel "Igrin", delving more into the cosmic horror side of it. It's been done mostly on blender, except for the character that were posed with Daz, and the skull on the third image that I partially sculpted in 3dcoat. There is also a bit of megascans, and some kitbash for the architectural elements.

A demo I did for my students at New3dge school in Paris. I wanted to show my process using a 3d base then photobashing on top of it ! Of course I used my IP Igrin as a base, I love baroque abbeys, and I did a sketch of one as a demo a few month ago, so I already had all the references I needed. Rendered on blender cycles, the trees are megascans assets but all the rest is my own.

At the very end of the "high town" of Igrin, a bit under the Basilicas lies the most recent building of the religious district of the city : the Treasury. Built to contain the relics of the bishops of the Ludovician Church, it ended up hosting most of the riches of the said Church. Enough to attract a greedy conqueror like the Halburgian Empire... But those relics aren't just gold... Some even may still be alive ! A new illustration for my IP Igrin, that I had in mind for a while now. I really like this kind of topdown view, and I really wanted to explore the more Baroque side of Igrin, so the Treasury (modeled after Dresden's Hofkirche) seemed the perfect candidate. I painted a rough sketch on procreate (that way I already had an idea of the scope, the colors and the perspective, though those things changed a bit in the final) before building and kitbashing the whole thing in Blender, then overpainting in photoshop.
