Some years back I had a dream where a giant lion came to me and asked for help. He was injured and needed to warn the world of a terrible danger.

I spent all my free time in these past years telling his story, and it will probably be a few more years until I am done. I’m inviting you all to follow this long journey, I hope to hear from you in comments.

Find out about my process and techniques in this article. Mostly how music influences my drawing directly in a flow of consciousness (see the videos I included to see what this means).

You can follow me on Instagram and various other social media. All my information is on my website: www.goupil.ch

Meanwhile visit the link I posted, to my Behance profile and read the first chapter of this story, the legend of the making of Circadia.

How it all begins. Music and a pen.

I had to replace the actual music I used, for copyright reasons but it’s close enough to give you the right impression
