Artist PROFILE

Gaëlle Seguillon

LOCATION: France

Gaëlle is a concept artist specialising in digital environments who uses CG, digital painting and photobashing. Her work includes Star Wars Jedi: Survivor and Jurassic World: Fallen Kingdom. https://bit.ly/4ah4rhl

This image, which I’ve titled Storm Peaks, is one that I believe reflects my overall workflow pretty well, because it has combined 2D, CGI and brainstorming elements.

When I start, the first step is going to be the brief, from a client or from myself. Here I wanted a mountain environment, with dramatic lighting and Gothic ruins. While working on this piece, I wanted it to be a homage to the art of the legendary The Lord of the Rings artist John Howe, who captures Middle-Earth so well.

While I admire a lot of artists, I’ve never really been inspired by a single particular artist. What really inspires me is, simply, nature. I totally love to transcribe the beauty of nature in terms of playing with depth of field and different lenses; especially when I shoot photos. I like to picture them in a natural history style and think it makes the image more believable.
