CONCEPT ART
In this section of my site you can find concept art that I’ve created over the course of my studies as well as during my career, up to this present day. I’ve had the opportunity to create concept art in the film industry and tv shows for environment design and moods, paint overs, colour keys, as well as character concept artwork. Unfortunately, as I created these in post production companies, they cannot be released publicly. In which case, you can view my personal concept art here. Some of these include short films, and personal series that I have started to keep practicing and fueling my creativity. Below is a slideshow that you can watch with most of my personal concept art, and you can also scroll down to see them: I have added in the scroll section some descriptions of each concept art. Unfortunately, as I mentioned above, the concept art I have created in the feature movie industry is not available for me to show publicly but you can view the matte paintings I have worked on by clicking on the MOVIE MAGIC tab here.
workflow
In my concept art workflow, I work closely with the client to ensure communication and quality work. Generally, the steps are as follows:
preliminary conversations about the idea
line sketches & greyscale sketch explorations to view ideas and options
based on 1-3 sketches from the last step, I create colour, mood and light explorations
based on a chosen colour/mood exploration, the final concept is created and delivered in high resolution

Luxury Travels on Exoplanets: Exo Fishing
Exo Fishing: concept art by Karlie Carpentier Rosin as a part of her exoplanet luxury travel series. This planet is very similar to earth but with a whole different type of air molecules. You would have to wear a space suit as your lungs couldn’t handle the heaviness of the air- as well, this allows you protection from the intense heat of the double suns. Although it makes it hard to believe the nitrogen snow can up there on the snowy tops. Would you go fishing here?

Luxury Travels on Exoplanets: circumbinary stoneside resort
Circumbinary Stoneside Resort: concept art as a part of the luxury travels on exoplanets environment design project by Karlie Carpentier Rosin. This concept is set on one of the moons of exoplanet Kepler 16-b which is known to be in orbit of a two star system called circumbinary system. Kepler 16-b is the first discovery of an exoplanet that orbits two stars and is located in the constellation Cygnus. Imagine being able to watch the double sunset while hanging out on a hammock or chilling in the stoneside hot tub? The luxury feeling is elevated as you watch the duo suns set with twinkle lights and champagne, while enjoying your private beach side residence, located on its own private island with sky rise stones.
Greyscale sketch of Circumbinary Stoneside Resort: concept as a part of the luxury travels on exoplanets project by Karlie Carpentier Rosin. This is the grey scale concept I created after waking up one morning imagining this landscape. Karlie started from this sketch to make the final image. As you can see, this is a very quick illustration just to get the general idea down and get the feel for what the composition will be.
Blue sunset concept- different mood exploration. Based on the idea that the sunsets are blue on Mars. Concept by Karlie Carpentier Rosin

LUXURY TRAVELS CONCEPT VIDEO
Here is a video I created about Luxury Travels on exoplanets. I wanted to convey the idea of a promotional video for high end vacations on recently discovered exoplanets, and to imagine how we would advertise simply beautiful luxurious getaways in pristine and untouched environments. Some of the in between videos in my edit are borrowed for my personal project (created during my school year in VFX school). Digital matte painting, concepts, compositing and editing is done by me.

Imagine if you could wake up on this planet and realize that the tilt of this planet is just so at this time of year that sunsets last almost all day (and 1 day here is like 3 for us!).

Concept of the exoplanet HD-40307-g viewed from space created by Karlie Carpentier Rosin. According to NASA, the HD-40307 is an exoplanet that orbits a K-type star. It takes 197.8 days to complete one orbit of its star and its mass is 7.1 times Earth’s.
Concept of the exoplanet Kepler-22b viewed from space created by Karlie Carpentier Rosin. Nasa exoplanets describes Kepler-22b as a super-Earth that could be covered in a super ocean, with 2.4 times Earth’s radius. It has a very intense tilt which would cause both the North and the South pole to alternatively be in sunlight and darkness for half a year each, continuously- as the planet circled its yellow dwarf star. It’s estimated that it would be around 15.5 degres Celcius on Kepler-22b.
Concept of the exoplanet Kepler-186f viewed from space created by Karlie Carpentier Rosin. Kepler-186f is the first discovered Earth-size planet orbiting a star in the habitable zone, found with NASA's Kepler Space Telescope. It’s located about 500 light years away from Earth, in the constellation Cygnus.
