I was hired through Snowcastle by a game studio here in Norway called Virtual Game Worlds to do some preliminary concept art for a title they have in early pre production called “Company of Mammals”

Below is a teaser, and there are more of these things on SnowCastle’s blog. 

The image is WIP/speedpaint. I’ll update when/if it gets to a polished state!

 

 

Thanks for looking!

Had some spare time to just paint today. This is what came out of it. I want to get better at environments, so I just started slopping color and shapes around, and then I saw this valley with floating mountains, and you gotta love floating mountains, right? Anyway.. trying to do some concept art that is outside of my comfort zone, which is mainly characters and such. Hope I managed to convey some sense of scale with this as well!

Had an extra hour at work yesterday, so I did this speedpaint on top of a sketch I did the night before that. I was super inspired by Ian McQue´s stuff, so my apologies to Ian for butchering the subject matter!

And the sketch it was based on. Pigment liners and a brushpen.

This was a really quick warmup today at work. It’s done in about the same style we’re working on for our game ;)

Not my usual style, but it’s fun to do some more cartoony stuff as well! I’ll color and render him up properly later.

Had some time today for a little speedpaint in addition to my studies! Woohoo! The concept of a hidden city in the jungle is a very cool one, and I don’t think I’ve explored it before, so I did today. I kinda like this 30 minute sketch, so I think I’ll refine it and do a finished piece of it. (Click for larger version)

I have been thinking about adding another sub page to the site for a while where I would do a more in depth look at individual projects and pieces. I would very much like your thoughts on this. If you’d find it interesting or rubbish and if it’d be nice to see some steps, thoughts and background on what I do both with professional work and personal art? I’d arrange it so there would be some more meat to each post so to speak. Say if there’s a particular world I’m developing, you’d get to know a bit more than just the final pieces.

Do leave a comment on here about that! Very interested in hearing you guys’ thoughts!

Right.. and the studies :)

Saira and I were sitting in front of the tube and I just splattered some color around and saw what came of it. Been a while since I’ve done that, and it was really fun to just eff’ around a little! I should do it more often.. haha
