Concept art for Verne on Vacation, an animated pilot (Cartoon Network, 2009) that recently got picked up as a series (or is it a film?). HERE’s a 3min sample. (always interesting to see completely different genres hybridize like that!)
From Marc’s site: (abbreviated)
Sylvain Marc is a French artist with over 15yrs experience in animation. His practice ranges from art direction and visual development to character design, direction, 2D/3D animation, storyboard, illustration, and comics. He’s worked with well over a dozen major studios so far.
When he’s not doing art, you’ll find him gardening, planting trees, tending to his four sheep, dozen hens and four cats or building a ram pump to bring water up to his veggie garden on a hill of the Basque countryside.
I find his art witty, wonderful, lively, lushly-detailed, and thoroughly playful.
He’s not listed on LBK yet, but here’s his site:
https://www.sylvain-marc.com/
Maybe it’s just me, but his site is completely blank on Firefox. I mean, once past the ‘enter’ screen, I see a bit of text on the edges of vast white space, which I assume should hold images.
Sorry about that! Let me try to figure out what’s going wrong…
EDIT: Hang on, what’s your browser? And anything else I might try to figure out…?
I just can’t see much of anything on Marc’s while on Firefox. I’m on mobile, but switching to the desktop version doesn’t change anything.
Okay, I’m wondering if you might have a browser security extension that’s interfering. For example, I see that his site runs some java scripts that might be auto-blocked, depending. Those would be for the main site, SquareSpace, and TypeKit, so about seven in all.
If that doesn’t help, then at least there’s a bunch of his artwork uploaded to other places, i.e.: https://www.google.com/search?udm=2&q=“Sylvain+Marc”+“art”
Thanks for looking into this. I went back just now because of your reply and now I see about 50% of the images. Strange. I realized that I could report the site to Firefox to have them look into the issue, so I did that. Probably just another case of everything being written for Chrome these days.

Yeah, that’s the part that kind of throws me, as I’m using FF on desktop, and got the page to work after I enabled the javascripts in question via my security extension “uMatrix,” a completely typical scenario for loads of sites. That said, my FF version is 137.0.2 (64-bit), which I think is a month or two old at this point. *shrug*
