Box art we created last year for Gamewright's Dragon Isles, the third edition in their Dragon series. The team was looking for a japanese interpretation of the creatures (the serpent-like shape, the horns, fur and long mustaches, etc) while maintaining the feel of the two previous games.

Last week our art director shared a few concept arts from a new Super Smash Bros game we were supposedly working on. We hadn't planned to mislead anybody - releasing it on 04/01 made things pretty obvious - but the feedback was amazing, so we felt like expanding on that a little.

Here are the five images we created for Wizards of the Coast and their TMNT / Magic the Gathering cards set, which released recently. They are all Land cards. If you happen to get one of them (or more !), let us know!

Last post regarding our work on the Magic the Gathering / TMNT cards set. We showed you New York from different angles, but here the most important one: the sewers! (you'd almost want to take a dip, right?)

Time for some more Magic The Gathering / TMNT! Here is the one we called "Rooftop", because it depicts... yeah, you guessed it, a rooftop. But it seems that it was recently visited by at least one of our favorite turtles, which suddenly makes it way more interesting, right? 🍕🐢

We are more than happy to share with you today this first image from a series we will showcase over the course of the next days. This background was created for Wizards of the Coast and their Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles set that recently launched.

Today feels like a tree day. And because we love trees at Umeshu Lovers, here are some trees we made, in all shapes, colors, sizes and even styles!

Since we've mostly been sharing 2D works these past few weeks, here are some 3D pieces. Characters, creatures, environments... we can do it all! ▶️ Find more on our own Artstation page : www.artstation.com/umeshulovers

Today is a cold, wet, grey day, so we felt like sharing some of our old work, in order to bring a little bit of warmth and sunshines. Spring cannot be here soon enough!

It looks like you've quite enjoyed our work on Jungler's short animation film, so here are some more concept arts from that same project. And yes, this is the cat you may have noticed in our previous post. 🐱

Today, we are sharing a first set of concept arts we created a few years ago, teaming up with Jungler as they were working on a short animation for Les Apprentis d'Auteuil. It was a really fun mission, because this is a very different art style than what we would usually do.

Another glimpse to that cancelled Rovio's project we worked on a few years ago. No Unity render today, because our team didn't have the time to create it. Which wasn't a big deal since we mostly did it to showcase how some of these concepts would translate into full 3D.

A second concept rendered in Unity, for that same cancelled Rovio project we worked on a few years ago. Here again, the idea was to demonstrate that not only we're able to create great 2D concepts, but also that these concepts were easily translatable into real-time 3D.

Environment concept rendered in Unity, for a cancelled Rovio project.

We're a bit late to the party (though in France we usually say that you can do it up until January 31), but as you know, art takes time. Anyway, the whole team at Umeshu Lovers wishes you all a healthy and prosperous new year ! 🎉

A few weeks ago, we had the pleasure to share with you a first piece of our collaboration with MetaZoo Games. So, after Loveland Frogman, here's another piece of this same collaboration, this time with a bigger creature, the Loch Ness Monster itself!

As 2025 is drawing to a close, the whole Umeshu Lovers team wanted to take the time to wish you all a happy holiday season. Our studio will enter hibernation tomorrow, so we will see you all in 2026, January 5th. See you next year! 😇

In December 2024, we started a collaboration with MetaZoo Games, as they were looking for artists to give birth to some of their ideas. We recently got feedback from the MetaZoo community about our work on that project, so we felt like sharing some of what we did!

Today, our good friends at Excurio are launching their new immersive journey through time, with Le Trésor des Bâtisseurs ("Builders' treasures"), available at Eclipso Paris. (1/2)

Last year, we had the opportunity to team up with Blinkink and worked on a video for RSPCA's "Summer Cruelty Appeal" campaign. Our team produced these backgrounds. You can probably notice the inspiration from Disney's "Lady and the Tramp"... (1/2)

Today we are sharing with you this illustration that was used as a poster for an incredible exhibition at MOBE, the Muséum d'Orléans pour la Biodiversité et l'Environnement. This poster wasn't our only contribution, since we also created several pictures used in the exhibition.

It's always a very special moment when you see months of work come to life. We cannot wait to see more!

🎵This is Halloween, this is Halloween Pumpkins scream in the dead of night 🎵 Happy Halloween! Here is a spooky little seed for all of you.🎃

MORE BOARD GAMES! Today we would like to share a piece of concept we produced for Asmodee's Survive the Island. As you can notice, the final product is noticeably different, but this isn't unusual in the world of concept art.

This week, let's do something a bit different. By now, you might be familiar with our work both for the video game and the animation industries. But another regular type of partners are tabletop and board games companies.

👀👀 👀

Let's kickstart this new week with a bang! This concept was created for our dear friends at Phoenix Labs, as they were exploring ideas for another project. Even if it's just a picture, you can feel the motion and the energy that our teams were trying to convey.

One last time! This is the last post about that cancelled project, and today we have two differents views on an inhabited moutain. This time again, you can notice the japanese inspirations. As you may have guessed with the studio's name, the japanese culture as a whole has always had...

So in the past few days, we shared some splash arts and environment concepts from that cancelled project. Today, let's share some of what we did for one of the characters. From first concepts to final 3D renders, weapons and other props, this was a lot of fun for our team!

As promised 2 days ago, here are some more pictures from that cancelled project we worked on for quite some time! As mentionned earlier, our mission wasn't limited to key arts. We did many things, including research, concept and final renders for a heavily Japan-inspired village.

Starting today and up until next week, we will be sharing several visuals we produced for a cancelled project that got us pretty busy!

Key art for the really cool Spirited Thief (PC, 2023), developed by @koisnowmangames.bsky.social and published by Ishtar Games. Go give it a try!

So. Based on our latest post you might have figured out that despite all her misdeed, it's not like we are actually mad at Bouddha. Quite the opposite! The team has decided to pay a little tribute to Bouddha. These cosmetics will join many others in Graine with our next update!

It's getting hot outside, you might need a really 🧊cool🧊 game. Good news, the Steam Summer Sale has just kicked off and Danghost, our beloved letter to puzzle games, is 50% off. If you are a fan of Puyo Puyo and Puzzle Bobble, give it a try! 🍡 ▶️Link: store.steampowered.com/app/1812170/...

A few months ago, the team asked if we could have a cat at the studio. After a few discussions, we eventually adopted this beautiful lady! Please meet Bouddha. When she's not sunbathing in the patio, her main past time is to climb on the shoulders of her favorite humans. We love her. 😸

Quick snippet of some of the 3D concepts we did for the TV series Press Start!. Translating the visual style of Thomas Flintham's comics into the world of 3D was a real challenge, but it was fascinating.

It seems like you kinda enjoyed our latest post, sharing several sketches for a cancelled project. So, as promised, here are some more. These ones focus on a big, mysterious forest. We were exploring colors, scales, trees' shapes and density, ligthing and the mood we wanted to set.

New key art for #afterlightfades arrived today from the amazing Sylvain at @umeshulovers.bsky.social , just in time for Steam Box Pushing Fest! Check out the ALF demo here store.steampowered.com/app/1717940/... And the amazing Fest here store.steampowered.com/category/box... #indiegame #gamedev

A few years ago, we had the opportunity to work on the conceptualization of a brand new world. We started drawing sketches, testing colors and shapes, toying with scales and composition. But sadly, all of a sudden, the project was cancelled.

If you're planning to get Danghost off 50%, time is running out! Our take on puzzle games, inspired by classics such as Puyo Puyo and Puzzle Bobble, but with a fighting game twist! 🧨 🎮 Download here: store.steampowered.com/app/1812170/... 🍡🍡🍡🍡🍡

During our lenghty collaboration with the great people at PhoenixLabs, we had the opportunity to work on many environment concepts, exploring what the world of Project Unicorn might look like.
