Istrandar

Hey #PortfolioDay I'm Maxime a french freelance illustrator. I love painting creatures and animals.

Last breath

"Years of decay did not hinder its instincts"

@JDonaldson_art It's about more than gouache, but after watching this I want to try gouache so I guess it's a bit about gouache

@istrandar yeah true! most of the video isnt really about gouache I guess 🤣

New youtube is up! youtu.be/BWWALLasH84 come say hi over there!

Some monsters for halloween

@Julianimator @AnatoFinnstark I didn't knew you made vfx ! It's becoming one of my new favorite thing to make

@AnatoFinnstark " How large is your artistic range ? " Me: " Yes "

@IsaIllustration istrandar.itch.io/cardgameprotot… I have a prototype there if you want to give it a try. It is still a WIP (the screenshot and everything are not up to date at all) and prone to bugs but it should be playable

@istrandar Sounds amazing too! Hope you will have a good time :). Looking forward to seeing some snippets of it!

The cursed one An passion project I made in blender. I hope you enjoy it

@IsaIllustration I really want to make another animation at one point. I got sidetracked though and now I'm making a video game (which takes even more time) so it is hard to say when I'll get to it

@istrandar Completely understandable! But it's truly wonderful! I hope you will be able to create more if you want to. I especially love the way you've incorporated your painting techniques into the 3D models.

@IsaIllustration Thanks ! It took a lot of time, but I feel like the result was worth the effort (I cut a lot of corners when I could to make it doable)

@istrandar This is breathtakingly beautiful! It must have taken so much work. Wow! I love it!

Reposting some personal works I made during the last years. I wish I could be more ambitious with my own work but I often end up doing very safe illustrations. I really like them but I wish I had the energy to try some new subjects

@doramas1999 I'm planning on making a few tokens with it actually !

@istrandar Would love to see it as a magic card

Hey ! I'm going to Magicon Atlanta next week. If anyone wants to meet me there, I'll be at my booth.

Chasmfiend are big, have a lot of legs and are quite low to the ground so finding the right pose was challenging. Figuring out how it could move and how to have it emote was an interesting task. I used the front legs to show weight and stability and make the composition flow.

"Chasmfiend on the Hunt" Illustration made for the Cosmere Rpg. I was reading the Stormlight archives a second time when I got the opportunity to make this so I was fully hype ! Bringing to life such a cool creature was a treat
