Olivier Danchin

It's 20 years since @seanphillips.bsky.social and I exchanged a sketchbook back and forth in the mail, a drawn &painted call and response. INTERSECTIONS may be out of print but here is a flip through that sketchbook. You can still find the book out there :)

Les petits jeux de lumière entre les deux persos centraux là... miam !!!

A flame throwing gun in the shape of a serpent mouth.

Portrait of a mid aged wealthy man.

Severance image study.

A naked woman on a standing drawing pose.

I'm also a TTRPG game master who likes to draw NPC or assets for his players and a live drawing session practiser.

A greek boat and a big monster lurking from above.

A duck kid having his birthday with his friends.

Board game tiles with small isometric building on them

3 cards with a cat, a frog and a rocket, all drawn in a kid lit style.

J'ai remplacé très facilement Indesign et Illustrator par les équivalents d'Affinity. Pour remplacer l'illustration sur Photoshop en revanche c'est beaucoup beaucoup plus compliqué... Procreate c'est très chouette mais bosser sur ipad c'est pas ouf.

His style is truly unique. I’ve discovered his excellent work in your books. Thanks for that 👍

If you see this, post a witch!

Your color choices and compositions are incredible!

100% d’accord. Au final, même si on doit poster en se bouchant le nez, on est un peu piégés. Insta reste encore un catalogue où piocher pour les éditeurs (de jeu). Recommencer de zéro sur un nouveau réseau est un travail à plein temps, en sachant que ça basculer n’importe quand dans le même cloaque…

So anyway, I created an updated version of that XdanielArt chart that contains all the Adobe alternatives since there are a lot more now than there were back when that list was originally made, and Adobe has continued to get shittier and shittier.

The weather and news are pretty sinister these days, time to dive in some old sunny sketchbook. Greece 2017 maybe.

Culte de la dopamine et du moindre effort malheureusement :( Les réseaux sociaux ont crée un terrain bien fertile. Malgré tout j'ai l'impression que l'adhésion n'est pas totale non plus. Par exemple, le jeu de plateau (mon domaine pro), les éditeurs et le public sont, je crois, plutôt réfractaires.

L'iA et le "reveal" (pas si surprenant...) des motivations crasseuses des boss de ces réseaux m'ont fait arriver exactement au même point. Étant peu visible, je n'ai pas grand chose à perdre mais l'envie n'est plus là. Redessiner surtout pour soi et poster à l'occasion me semble la voie à suivre.

Let's try to post more here than on Instagram... Here are some watercolor sketches done after a Japan trip in 2017. I've planned to fill a full sketchbook... but my job bring me back to reality and I've done only ten or less :S

I keep thinking about characters for D&D and now it's the turn of the Spellcasters.
- Draconic Bloodline sorcerer
- Enchantment wizard
- College of valor bard
- The Archfey warlock
- War domain cleric

A corpse sits in an alcove next to an ancient highway.

A glowing sword in the middle of a junkyard.

A rest stop with a huge neon sign reading "Gas" stands atop a cliff bathed in fiery light of uncertain origin.

A small home, perhaps a trailer, sits on the horizon, a ghost of an overpass hanging above it. The sky is heavily overcast.

Some of you may not have seen my weird little postcards

The Duchess of Death

I'm not a big fan to tribute posts on social media, and this illustration is a bit old... But thanks to David Lynch for Twin Peaks and so much more... :(

I finally decided to start cultivating more and more this platform since Twitter has become a major contributor to the worsening of my mental health sooo... can I ask you to help me building back here some visibility? I make colorful maps with lots of detail, thanks if you want to share them! 🙏

A half-demon, tiefling, stands in the middle of a misty wooden clearing. They are wearing pauldrons and a neck protector made from a copper-like metal. Their clothing has leaf patterns and their gauntlets are fashioned from hollowed out tree trunks.
