Hey guys and gals!
It´s been a long time. ouch!! I regret this but you will see a lot of updates from now on!
First off, here are some concept art made for a Norwegian christmas movie that will be released this Christmas. So if you are a norwegian, make sure to check it out! Especially if you have kids.
These were made last year, but I have a ton to show so why not start far back :D
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 )
The Proud Rooster
I would like to use this opportunity to wish everyone a Merry Christmas!!! ...Here´s an image made for "The Proud Rooster", a norwegian chicked brand, cross promoting with the Blåfjell2 movie which I also did a few things for (I´ll post that soon)...My colleague Mikael worked with me on this one. . Go to Illustrations Gallery to see the full image
Come back later this christmas for more updates!
Cheers

3 New Environments
Hello Again, here's 3 background images I did for Hyper. Their client was Bademiljø ( a norwegian bath shop chain). The game was an internal learning program were the employees raced with boats. The images were made to work in a browser with scalable screensize.

K2 - Norway
Another day another update :)
Here's a background image/map made for Hyper, as a game background. The players race across the straight road with cars (as a boardgame). The environment is a minimized/cartoonified map of Norway.

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.

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 ;)
