Hello, I'm a concept artist specializing in environment design and keyframes. I’ve been working since five years as a freelancer. I started to work on commercials for Mathematic Studio and the for the past four years, I have been collaborating with Chromatic Studio, a concept art outsourcing company. This has allowed me to work on various projects, mainly AAA games for clients such as Naughty Dog, Epic Games or Activision Blizzard. I have also had the opportunity to work on tv shows for HBO and trailers for Unit image.

MENTOR'S PORTFOLIO

MENTORSHIP

HOW Jonathan Bertaud MENTORS

Portfolio Review

Curate a winning presentation. We will audit your current body of work to identify your strengths and weaknesses. I will help you decide which pieces to keep, which to cut, and exactly what new pieces you need to create to attract the specific studios or clients you want to work for.

Paintovers (Visual corrections)

Practical, visual problem solving. Sometimes words aren't enough. I will screen-share and paint directly over your work-in-progress or finished pieces. This demonstrates exactly how to fix issues with lighting, composition, anatomy, or perspective, giving you immediate visual solutions to apply to your art.

Project/IP Review

Cohesive world-building and storytelling. Instead of looking at single images, we look at the bigger picture of your personal Intellectual Property (IP). I will help you ensure your design language is consistent, your world-building feels grounded, and your visual storytelling effectively communicates the narrative of your project.

Career Advice & Industry Navigation

Professional strategy and growth. We discuss the business side of art. I can help you with resume/CV tips, interview prep, understanding studio hierarchies, freelance rates, and networking strategies to help you break into or move up in the industry.

Technical Workflow (3D/2D mix)

Speed, efficiency, and pipeline. We will break down your creation process. I will show you how to integrate 3D tools (like Blender/ZBrush) into your 2D painting workflow to speed up production, maintain perspective accuracy, and meet professional deadlines without burning out.

Mindset & Soft Skills

Mental resilience and discipline. The art journey is mentally taxing. We will discuss how to handle imposter syndrome, creative block, and burnout. I will help you build the discipline and professional attitude required to handle art direction and feedback in a production environment.
