Guests of honor are crown jewels of every fan convention – let us introduce them!
Lea Dabssi, also known as Imalou, is a freelance artist and character designer from Nantes in France. They studied art at the New3dge academy in Paris, became a fan artist and also a MLP fan from the early years of the brony fandom. In 2017, they turned the art talent to a job for the Boulder media studio for next three years. It was nothing less than the development of the G5 movie “My Little Pony: A New Generation” – the highly anticipated start of the new MLP era.
Among their contributions to the film are the character designs for Sunny Starscout, Izzy Moonbow, and Sprout, the 2D-animated prologue featuring the Mane Six, Pipp Petals’ smartphone and the Horns, Harry Trotter, and Dirty Prancing parody posters. You can find their amazing art on Instagram, ArtStation and Twitter @imalouart.
Give Imalou a heartwarming welcome! They helped to shape the future of our favorite world of Equestria and still remain one of us!
