I had the huge honor to work again on "Ma Meilleure Ennemie" art alongside Riot and Virgin Music (more specifically the Mosaert Team and Puppet Master).
They reached out to get some more art featuring Stromae and Pomme in the Arcane universe after the huge success of the song in literally all over the world! I can't express how happy I was (and am) seeing all the deserved love for both the song and the artists, just wonderful!
This time the idea was to make a sort of fusion between Stromae/Ekko and Pomme/Powder, honestly I absolutely LOVED the idea since 1st minute and what was supposed to be just one illustration, became a whole project!
I started exploring their facial features again, in order to get more familiar with their faces in different positions, then moved to explore the outfits, since we wanted to "separate" a bit the character from the real person. After this I totally think I could draw both of them by memory hahaha.
It was super fun, thanks to Luc, Gaëlle (Mosaert), Celine and Anna (Puppet Master) for all the help and feedback. Always a pleasure to work with creative teams and discuss about stuff, even more when it's for projects THIS COOL!!
