Hey guys! Had a little time on my hands the last half hour at work today, so I painted this guy. Looks like he might be called “Tiny” by those few that have the huevos to talk to him.

Have a great weekend guys!

Shadowrun Weapon Concept Art

admin — Fri, 18 May 2012 04:45:34 +0000

Hey guys! Got word from the guys at Catalyst Game Labs yesterday that Gun Heaven 2 is out. It’s a book full of guns for the Shadowrun pen´n´paper RPG, and I did a few weapons illustrations for it! Below are the initial marker and pigment liner sketches I sent to Brent Evans, my AD over at Catalyst, as well as the finals done in photoshop.

Had a lot of fun doing these! Always cool to be working on the Shadowrun IP!

The book can be found over at rpg.drivethrough if you want to look at all the weapon goodness!

Inspiration post and shameless plug

Hey guys! Just wanted to make a quick blogpost about a buddy of mine. He makes awesome oilpaints and has a pretty insane merit list of movies and such he’s worked on.

His name is Wayne Haag and he’s working on a new sci fi oil painting series that you can also commission pieces from.

Just look at this thing:

Just to be perfectly clear about this; I did not paint that piece. I wish I did, but I didn’t :)

Check it out over at his site: Ankaris.com

Now stop wasting time and get over there!

admin — Mon, 23 Apr 2012 12:47:06 +0000

Hey guys! I’ve been hard at work both at SnowCastle Games and with my freelance stuff, but I wanted to check in and let you all know we have a new, lighter and better, website for the company up and running, so check out the new site! We’re hard at work on our next production “Project FoM” where I’m doing concept art these days! Good times all around!

Here’s a piece of early days concept art, but do head on over to the site to see more stuff!

More environment concept art from New Crobuzon

admin — Mon, 05 Mar 2012 07:59:33 +0000

Been a little while since, so I figured I’d make a quick post. At work we’ve started pre production on our new game “Project FoM” (Working title), and we’re attending GDC this year, so it’s been hectic preparing for that, of course.

In other news “Hogworld: Gnarts Adventure” which has been out on iOS and for the Kindle Fire a while now won “Best Artistic Achievement” at the Norwegian game awards “Gullstikka”! Which is awesome! It’s very cool to get something like that after busting our asses on it :)

Snowcastle as a studio also won “Best Newcomer” at the same show! So we’re pretty stoked!

Anyway, nuff words more art. Here’s another environment concept art piece inspired by China Miéville’s Bas-Lag books! Exterior view of Perdido Street Station. Hope you like!

Environment concept – Isaac’s workshop

Hey guys! I’ve been reading Miéville lately, specifically his Bas-Lag novels and I was so inspired by the books, I figured I’d try to paint some stuff from them. So here’s my take on a view of Isaac’s workshop from “Perdido Street Station”.

Hey guys! 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.

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!

Did another interior concept for the hall leading to the operating room I did yesterday.

These are fun to make! Think I’ll have to render one of these guys out to a finished piece sometime.
