Battlestar Galactica Online : Marketing Image


Hello ! 

Soon Christmas, and I've been slow this year with updates. As usual the year has been extremely hectic and I've neglected my site. I'll post a serie of images the coming days for various projects towards christmas.

First off, heres a marketing image for our game, Battlestar Galactica.

Check out a larger image in the Illustrations gallery.

Solan & Ludvig character concepts


Hey again, loooong time between the updates. I am as always busy and don't and therefore the website gets neglected. Here are a couple of quick concept I did a couple of years back for Qvisten Animation. Solan & Ludvig (the character conepts) are well known characters in Norway. Qvisten is doing a short film and asked me to do my take on the characters. 

Color Line marketing images


Hey Everyone! Long time since I´ve done any updates :( Really sorry about that, for those who have kept visiting and seen the same blog entry every time. I´ll get my act together. 


Here´s 3 new images in the Illustration Gallery which I recently did with my colleague Mikael. This was for an agency called suburbia, and all illustrations was for a Color Line campaign (Color Line = Large norwegian cruise company). The idea was to make the illustrations depict the typical advertisement style of the 20´s -ish :) But with a modern twist and feel of course.  Hope you like them.    

My dad turned 60

Hey, here's another update! My father just turned 60 years old and I made him a caricature. This image has a lot of internal jokes, so I don't expect everyone to understand all that is going on here :) But I hope you like it anyway.

You can see the entire image in the Personal Misc Gallery! 

PS! I've removed the comment field below my blog post. I mostly just got spam there so I thought it didn't serve a purpose. But instead I've added a like button...So, please click that "like" button if you like something ;) 

Moose in Sunset

Now what the heck is this ? :D
Well, if you are from Norway you would know that every Norwegian should make a Moose in Sunset once during their career. Well´so here´s my take on the subject. And, even if this is sort of an cliché for use Norwegians, I bet there´s not many artists that have done this kind of motif as a digital painting ;)

Take a look in high resolution in the Personal Miscellaneous gallery. 

The reason why I made this is because I was invited to enter an art competition called Share one Planet. I know I said earlier that I would document the process and progression of my entry. But, after I noticed that I hadn´t read the rules properly, and had to start over, i sort of lost motivation for a while. And, since my last months have been very busy with work I just had to take this between here and there whenever I had time . So I apologize to anyone who was looking for sketches ang progress pictures - I promise I will do this some other time with some other picture ;)

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 ;)

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 ;)
