SHOGUN SERENITY

5 SeaHorses invites viewers to enter an imaginative underwater kingdom where colors, light, and textures converge in a dreamlike symphony

The maneki-neko (招き猫) is a cute Japanese figurine which bring good luck to the owner.

It can also be found in Asia, and I've seen some near my home in Marseille.

It was one of my first design with Affinity Designer, the shape is simple in vector

BUDDHA

Last creation for my India folder.

I've created hundreds and hundreds of images of Buddha.

With Affinity Designer and others with Midjourney.

I really like Tibetan and Japanese Buddhas, which are superb and refined.

WHALE SWIMMING IN THE SEA

According to my dreams 😊

Exercise: creating a crystal vase based on the Buddha's head.

I haven't added a sref reference yet.

I'll do more tests.

Good morning Bluesky. We made it to the weekend!

The daily theme is stuck on "almagest", so here's a re-working of an older "mad sorcerer" character :)

41st case study for my innovative AI training course for tourism and hospitality professionals.

An example of speed: only 1 hour to complete.

Analysis of Pegasus's 3 competitors and a simple and operational strategic briefing.

3-minute pitch to defend your plan.

That's easy to say.
But very few in the world are capable of doing it.

Things are coming together on a grand scale, as we saw at EduTechTourism when it was created in July 2024 with the American team.

Beyond business, this project is transformative for those involved.

The Dolphin Resort *****

New case study for my training project on AI for luxury tourism

Students have to define the strategy and business action plan of the luxury resort using AI

Work in groups of 3 using my international business development methodology

It's not that easy!

My daily design exercise, which involves taking an old design and updating it with my new skills.

This initial design was made with Affinity Designer over 4 years ago, long before the public existence of Midjourney and ChatGPT.

Testing new textures

A RAM-hungry process

A tribute to the marine life

Made with Affinity Designer and another very old tool that I deviated from its normal use.

I love this kind of combo of tools and deviations 😊

The process has no AI, it take hours, but the fun part is in the creation process 😉

I enjoyed making this design 🥰

From the simple idea of a turtle, it became a creation that I love.

The fun was in the whole creation process

Made with Affinity Designer vector tool and homemade textures.

The challenge is to synthesize a global project that is accelerating and has multiple interdependent layers.

A lot of tailor-made travel, which is what we like and what Club members are looking for, as well as our travel partners

Archangel Gabriel seems to be having fun in Paradise.

👉A beautiful day to all in our own Paradise, our little round Earth that revolves around the sun, that revolves in the galaxy, that revolves in the universe, that ...

👉Psst, you'll notice that the Archangel is a woman 😊

Discovered in the jungle of a planet in the Pleiades constellation.
A female android butterfly.

The astronaut scientists who discovered her called her ‘Tinkerbell’ because she is mischievous and energetic.

She can also be very jealous and angry!

A female android 🙂🙃😉😊

Great designer, how to progress in design?

Great Designer
It's simple Claude
Go back to your old designs from time to time and update them with the know-how you have now.

Me
Ahh, it's that simple?

Great Designer
Yes ;-)

My story, years ago, with a Dutch designer 🙏😊🥰

I've drawn thousands of Buddhas, in vector and with Midjourney

The Buddha's eyes are undoubtedly one of the strongest symbols of Buddhism and of what the man called Siddhārtha Gautama wanted to transmit

I'll see it on my trip to Asia in November
