Dwasp

Monday, October 6th, 2008

Started out sorta like a weird dragon, went on to look like a wasp… a Dwasp I suppose… I was just playin’ around with a freaky lookin’ brush and got some shapes, and rendered on ‘em :D Was good fun!

I attended Gamecamp (how geeky is that, huh? :D ) in Oslo the 26th of september. There was a really really good keynote speech by Scott Bilas from Loose Cannon studios, click the name for his website… he posted the slides from his talks on there, if you’re interested in the gaming industry :)
Got to meet some cool people who are into gamedevelopment as well (duh), but not on the art side… got to know a gamedesigner/future concept artist, another game designer, and programmers, which is cool , seeing as how I know mostly artists doing games… hehe… Me and a fellow concept artist, Andreas HÃ¥ndlykken, had a pass-the-wacom-session there and did a collabo based on a sketch from one of the gamedesigners:


Oh… and I did a lecture at IGM (Institutt for Grafiske Medier) a few days ago on “Creative Photoshop”! I had a blast! It’s fun teaching for motivated students! Sorta technical as opposed to teaching about my process when I do concepts and paint, but it’s always fresh to get another angle to how and why I do stuff.

First non-art related thing I write here I suppose, but I checked out Tropic Thunder the other day along with a bunch of my friends and my girl.. and, guys… ya’ll need to go see it… and bring friends :D It’s hilarious! Two thumbs up from this corner!
