3DTotal: Hi, Thanks for Talking to us. What got you into 3D?
Pascal: Hi! Well, I first wanted to be an illustrator when I was young, drawing comics and monsters, but the paper was kind of boring for me because it didn’t convey enough life (and I was not that good with a pencil). Later on, it was movies like Star Wars, Dark crystal and Ray which started to influence me when I |

was a teenager. I discovered 3D pretty late in my art education, but soon totally understood the full power of CG (Darth Vader speaking ;-). With just one tool, I could draw, sculpt, animate, and do whatever they do in movies just like that in my bedroom. it was an amazing sensation of freedom for me
3DTotal: What keeps you in 3D?
Pascal: Maybe the same reasons that got me there in the first place, to me it is the most appropriate tool for my visions. It is also a process I know now pretty well from the idea to the final touch ups in Photoshop. I continue to refine better production pipelines to get better quality and faster execution.
3DTotal: You list your inspirations on your website, which I think is something everyone should do. It just shows the importance of inspiration…
Pascal: Inspiration is everything, yes! Of course, from time to time I get ideas of my own, but I do have to dig a bit. I will certainly always pick up many references that give me the ideas. I read a lot. Books, comic books, mangas, artbooks, and I watch lots of movies too. Music can also become a very handy source of inspiration. |

3DTotal: What is your art mainly used for?
Pascal: So far, I would say mainly covers for 3D magazines. I’m starting to get more contacts for covers of books; however, 3D is still not something that people are used to seeing in the same light as classic or digital 2D illustrations.
3DTotal: You have an extensive portfolio, where on earth do you find the time? (As we hear you are now the proud father of 2 boys ;-)
Pascal: Ahah thanks ;) actually my second boy is only a few days old, and I have stopped all my production work for a while |
