Mech Tactics was announced

Hi everybody, look at that, not a single update during the entire first 3 months of 2012...I guess I can say Happy New Year then! :D

Anyway, I´ve been dead busy art-directing 3 simultanous game productions lately, in our company Artplant. For those that follows us you probably have seen that we are developing Game of Thrones for Bigpoint (I´ll post something from that later on) and also we are doing a Mech tactics RTS game called..well yeah, Mech Tactics :D for DTP (concept made by us entirely). So, here are a couple of bullshots/marketing shots I did for the game, most of it is realtime stuff "slightly retouched". Thanks to Mikael and Ivan for excellent Mech designs. Hope you like them and stay tuned for more to come (though I guess you heard that one before :O )

Our game is out!!!

Battlestar Art presentation at the Unite 2010

Guh! I hate to announce this...But I´ve been slow this year, so I deserve to make a bit of an embarassment of myself. 
Anyway, I was having a presentation at the Unity Unite 2010 in Montreal late last year. The presentation was about the Art Direction of Battlestar Galactica and some of the choices we made. The presentation is about 45 mins long and I talk half of the time. Voja my colleague and out lead animator talks the rest.

If you care to have a look, go here to watch it.

But I need to point out that I´ve never done this before, in english that is, and I´m by far a trained speaker. So when I´m watching it now I see I could have appeared a bit more enthusiastic. Oh well, one has to evolve by actual experience ;)

Battlestar Galactica Official Ingame Trailer!

Hey, 
Our game is closing in on completion and a couple of weeks ago Bigpoint released a video we made out of the game. I hope you like it, and go to this YouTube link to see it in a better resolution.  

Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year!

Artplant gets support from Norwegian Filmfund!

Hi again, just want to tell some good news. Well, for us at least. Norwegian Filmfund just granted us (Artplant) 800k NOK for developing a prototype of an MMO game we call Skjaersilden. No more info is public yet, so stay tuned :)

Anyway, as part of the presentation we did some artwork and whatnot. This is one concept I did in 2-3 hours. Thanks to Mikael for a rough thumbsketch which I based the painting on.
