New Environment


Hey, back from GDC 2011 San Francisco. Thought I'd share a new background I recently did for Hyper Interaktiv - made for a Serious Game which I don't know the name of :) Check it out in panorama and higher res in the Environment section!

More stuff is coming soon!

On the side, GDC was a blast and it's amazing what great stuff is coming out these days. But from all the stunning productions I must say that Nintendo's 3DS and the 3D screen which gives you 3D without glasses is what amazed me the most. I can hardly wait to play Zelda in full 3d with this thing. Check it out if you can ;)

Two concepts for a commercial

Hi again! Yet another update this week. This time a couple of concepts made for a commercial made by Øyedrops. Bjørklund is a chainstore in Norway which sells jewelry. You can see the final video on their website. A small but fun task - and I think Øyedrops did a great job converting these concepts into a 3d world. The intention was to make something sort of like Alice in wonderland, but more "glamourized" as it´s for a jewelry vendor. You can find the other concept in the Concept Art section. 

More illustrations

I´m back from Canada and my talk at Unity´s Unite. A fun but challenging experience for someone like me that hasn´t got too much experience in talking to large crowds (especially in English) But, I think it went rather nice and as they say, what doesn´t kill ya only makes you stronger ;)
Digging up some more oldies from my archive here btw. Go to illustrations to see a couple more.  

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. 

 

Dark Unity Demo

Here´s another small update. A couple of concepts ( see the other in the concepts gallery) which were made in context with the demo Unity3d hired us to do. This demo was meant to show some of the capabilities of the 3rd installment of their engine (a really great tool for game developers!). The demo was a realtime demo, but I did a couple of quick paint concepts before we started making the actual demo. You can see a video of the final demo here.

Mikael helped with the sketch work for these. 

Btw, me and my colleague (Voja Dimitrijevic) are holding a conference speech at the Unity Conference in Montreal 11th of November.  

A cutie anime character.

Hello again folks. Just a little character this time. I think this must be my very first "serious" attempt at making an anime character ( so you anime lovers out there probably see a bunch of noob mistakes :) ) This was just a friendly gesture to a friend, he is leading a small-girls football team and they wanted a logo-mascot on their shirt. Of course their name was The Vampires :) -So I thought this would fit nicely. Go here to see the full character.

Back from Holiday

Hey all, I'm from from 2 hot weeks in Greece. It's always nice with some time off, but just as good to get back to regular life. 

I just added a few "oldies" from Sony Computer Entertainment (go down to 2008 additions to have a look). Concept Art for something that was abandonned short after the concepts were made. A couple of them were made together with Mikael and Chester. 

If anyone at SCEI has a problem of these being displayed, contact me and they will be pulled down. 

Some Environment scribbles

Hello again, just wanted to make another weekly update :)
These are 4 sketches of some scenes that I thought would be suitable to post now because of the summer being here :) - for something that never turned out into anything. They were intended to look a bit 60´s detective book illustrations. It was fin trying something different. Hope you like it.
You can find 3 more in the Environments section
