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 ;)

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.
