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!

With my sincerest apologies to Marvel and bananas, I give you HULK CHIMP!!

No concept art as such, I guess more twisted fan art? I don’t know.. it’s just a blog though, right? I’m allowed to go off on a tangent right? Haha
Had a lot of fun with this one! :D The concept of an unholy alliance of the hulk and a chimp amused me to no end! Haha! Hope you guys dig it! (Oh.. and I think he’s pissed ‘cuz he can’t for the life of him peel a banana without it popping out)

Did a few more of those studies from movie frames. The Wolverine one seems like it’s heading in some sort of direction.. hehe

Click pictures for larger versions :)

I also made a few notes on the Wolverine one.. just some thoughts about what I’m looking at.. I’ll include these in the future if anyone has any interest in reading :P

Did a quick sketch of an army chimp :D

Hope ya digs!

Hey guys! Did a few studies from movie stills this weekend.. Watched some movies and hit pause when I saw something I liked and painted after it.. Trying to get a new angle on colors, composition and light.. also studies like these are really good for focusing my thinking on what I’m gonna study and not get caught up in doing my own designs.

People who know me know that I really digs me some Craig Mullins’ work and his handle on implied detail and such, so I’ve been trying to get outta rendering every bit and stay loose. No intentions of trying to end up a Mullins clone, but his approach to an image is awesome so I’m trying to learn a little bit from him.. haha..

These studies are all pretty fast though.. also in order for me not to noodle and nitpick my ass off..

’nuff talkin’; more pictures!

This last one “From Hell” is my definate favourite of the bunch.. I feel I found something there.. thinking about implied detail on this one.. and staying loose with the brush strokes.I used a brush I don’t usually touch as well, which seems to have loosened up my stuff. It’s basically shaped like a “/” with tilt sensitivity on and opacity to pressure.

Catch ya soon!

Hey guys! Just popping by with an update to keep it rolling! I’ve added a couple of pieces to the concept art gallery and a couple more sketches to that section of the site. Been keeping busy lately, which is good! Working on a film pitch with Daniel Røsnes and a large project at Desimal is what takes up most of my working hours these days. The woman with the red dress in the concept art gallery is a piece done for the project I’m working on with Desimal as well as the two profiles with the feathers. The movie pitch is under wraps for now, but I’ll show and tell when I can! I’m doing concept art (duh) and Daniel is workin’ the 3D magic! That dude impresses me constantly with his dedication to his craft and problem solving attitude!

Anyways.. that’s a short update, and I’ll leave you with a little quick sketch I did in ArtRage..the BG color is the same as on conceptart.org so it’s borderless on there.. just to explain the brownish tone :P If you’re interested in seeing the thing on the forums, and see more of my sketches and whatnot you can click here :)

ArtRage meets Photoshop for this enviro speedpaint.. around 2 hours, I think… I’ll probably revisit this one and refine it a bit, ‘cuz I kinda like it :)

Couple of sketches I did at work today… I started the day out listening to Delinquent Habits, so I had to sketch a Mexican… haha… 

The other one is a result of a brush I made today… it’s basically a really long, vertical line that I put spacing and set the angle to pen tilt which accounts for the lines.. the rest was just smearing something in there to get a structure on some of it… and a face to connect it to something… I don’t know… If you guys see anything in it I don’t; awesome! 

Oh… and I also gave it an artsy fartsy title; “Mindscapes” hahaha.. I never name my shit…hahaha

Just keepin’ this thing alive… I’ll post some more stuff soon!

peace
