“Sebastien is one of the few artists who can bridge concept art and matte
painting. In this DVD we are very fortunate to see all the steps of
Sebastien's unique working pipeline. It is wonderful to see the work of
someone who is equally comfortable with creative speed painting as well as
more technical 3D work and compositing.”
