Hey guys! SnowCastle Interactive  just released Hogworld: Gnarts Adventure in English for an international market on the appstore! We’re pretty stoked about the English voice acting! We have Michael Dobson as the Narrator voice! (The guy that voiced Deathspank! Just sayin´;) )

It’s optimized for iPad2 but it will run on iPad1 and iPhone 4 and 4S as well!

Check it out at the US AppStore! Now go and hang out with Gnart, Bibi and all the others!

Hey guys! I got the greenlight to post some concepts from “Winds of Edéa”, the game we have in production!! Yay!! The game will be presented in proper at Nordic Game in Malmö in May this year.

I do various stuff on the game, so I’m posting a character, some buildings and an environment.

These were all done relatively early on after I started at Snowcastle, so some of these are like 9 months old now I think. My AD has posted some stuff over at his blog as well, so head on over there if you want to see more stuff!

Anyway.. less talk, more art! Hope you guys enjoy!

Oh! Click them for larger versions!

Thanks for looking!

Hey guys! As always it’s been too long since I posted last. Busybusybusy.. looks like I’m gonna have a little breather coming up soonish though. Gonna pack in some personal art when that happens :)

I’ve been happily making concept art at Snow Castle while freelancing a whole bunch for FantasyFlight Games, an unannounced 3d animated short, visual development on a game for Virtual Game Worlds, and some art for an iPad sci-fi game. All the while functioning as an AD-light for a PC point’n'click in pre production. It became a bit much for me for a while there.. haha.. I’m off the point’n'click adventure as it is now, which feels good actually.. gonna get some time to hang with my girl, do some personal art and like.. not burn out :)

Anyways; here’s some art! I’ve rendered a bit on the pirate dude, and some quick morning sketches I do while on the bus and subway on my way to work :) Still playing around with more toony stuff.. it’s interesting working in such a different style than I’m used to! Having a bunch of fun with it :) Hopefully sometime in the future this stuff will evolve enough to look good too ;)

Hope you enjoy, and thanks for lookin’!

Hey guys!!

It seems like forever since I made a blog post…  sorry about that (and to you guys that have been naggin’ me about posting new stuff; thank you! It helps me keep up! )

I did art on a table top game called “Venture” from Øone Games a few months back, and now it’s out!! It is always awesome to see the product with the art implemented! This is the first time I’ve worked on a table top, so I was pretty stoked to see the images of the finished thing!

I did characters, item cards, a screen for the game master and the box cover!

Here is the box cover:

And some of the characters:

I had a great time working with Øone Games! Doing fantasy art like this is always fun, and one of the reasons I got into the business!
I’ll be back with more art from Venture later on!

Hope you guys like!

I haven’t blogged since April about what I’ve been up to lately..Jeez..

In May I started working at a game developer called Snowcastle in Oslo. I was hired on to do concept art on their first full length game and I’m having a blast these days! I’ve only been with them a couple of months, but it’s a great studio to work at! Lots of laughs and I’m learning new ways to work (I’ll show you guys results when I can! Promise! ;) ) and the guys I work with are great!

So I’m working full time for them, while doing freelance art like I posted now, collectible card games, and all kinds of cool stuff. Kinda eats into the time I have for blogging, but I’ll try to be good and post more!

I’m also on twitter, if you want more inane day to day stuff.. ;)

Thanks for stopping by people!

Hey guys! Long time no blog.. Had a lot going on lately. After thinking about it for quite some time, I’ve finally reached the decision to quit my current job. From January 2010 I’ll be a freelancer, so wish me luck and let me know if you have any work for me! Hehe.. I really needed a change, and I’m stoked about what the new year will bring! For all you guys out there working creative jobs (or otherwise for that matter) that feel you need a change; DO IT! It’s good to feel you’re taking a new step, turning over a new page and all that!

I’m starting to form a couple of plans on what to do next year, and there will be concept art comin’ out of it! :D (It’s all I know how to do, and all I want to do, so there ya go..hehe).. I’ll fill you in when stuff starts moving properly!

Little bit of art to go with the post.. I’ve recently rediscovered ink and markers for sketching, and I’m having a blast with it, so I figured I could show you a couple of doodles at least ;) I’m cookin’ up some digital paint stuff too, so I’ll post as soon as I have anything worth showing! For now; some steampunk-y markers..

And a little tribute do District 9 :) Or rather… a design on how a warrior class prawn might look like:

Catch ya later!
