Seattle!

I am enjoying my time in Seattle while trying to make video games with slightly craptastic internet and with a computer that decides to kill itself every now and then. Oh I gotta love it...

But hey! Seattle is awesome and I have visited a few nice game developers along with my classmates and today is the day where we visit the allmighty Valve. :)

I havent had much time to properly draw and make proper art for my portfolio, but I can see that I need to work my buttarse off to make things work as soon as I get back from the US and back to my wonderful desk. And drawing equipment and my PC... Everything!

Either way, if something pops up, I will ofc post it here on my blog to share with my readers. :)

Good news, everyone!

I am officially employed at an indie game company, founded by my classmates. :) I am looking forward to work with them. We're called ClearCut Games and we are currently developing a new game. Before I joined the "club", they had already released a game for the app store that is still available for purchase. ( http://bit.ly/oTzOxN direct link to iTunes for the game if you own an iPhone/iPad/iPod Touch ;)
I am going to be their main 3D artist, but also do some concept art, both traditionally and digitally, if neccesary. This means that I might be spamming with a lot of pictures of my sketches, brainstorms and drawings that I will be hanging around our tiny lil' office. I have already made tons of concept art, but I will post them sometime later. :)

*relieved sigh*

Finally done with my everlasting artwork.... I finally finished my picture of my Warlock character from World of Warcraft in "old" tier set. It has been my favorite for worth a while, so making a drawing was my best way to show it is my favorite (did that some years ago as well, just with the Merciless Gladitor set!)

Anyways, here is the picture!






I am SO proud of this picture, mostly because it contains much more details than many of my other drawings (obviously because I had a reference, if I had to do somethign original which had alot of details, it would just go wrong. :P)
It was before summer that I randomly decided I wanted to draw my warlock in this set, I just made an ugly sketch of my idea and voila! It came out like this... or well not exactly, it looked rather silly with uneven lines and whatever, but I loved the idea so much that I left it to rot for a couple of months! Or that is a little bit exaggerated... but really, the point is I didnt pick it up until the end of the summervacation where I found it and made the outlines for the drawing. I really liked how it came out, but I didnt get to start on the coloring until later. I made some basic coloring which ended up looking really nice. From here on out, I had so much trouble to actually start coloring it, because... *points at the head item* THIS!
It took me a couple of weeks before I finally broke the wall down with my mighty skills of doom, and actually made a shading on the hat that I could live with. It isnt the prettiest ever, but it looks way better than what I came up with before.

Anyways, I hope you will enjoy it! I spent so much time on this one and I gotta say I am really satisfied so I hope those who are actually reading my blog, will check the drawing out. :P

My WoW Character... in old gear!

So, in association with the sudden expectation from Google to use AdWords, I better up to date my blog a little more. :) So here is the work I have been talking about which I have a hard time to finish. There is some basic coloring on it, but I decided to hide it because it looked rather hideous on this unfinished work (especially when I didnt bother to avoid not getting out of the lines... :P).
It is of my World of Warcraft character in the so called "Tier 11" set.. Cant remember the exact name of the set, but if it isnt obvious enough, it looks like medieval executioner in some way. Just add a little bit warlock in it and it'll be fine.


I am very proud of this one, but I have been so frustrated at how I have been trying to color the helm. There just doesnt seem any way where I can color it the way I want it to be colored... Argh! But I just gotta keep trying, I have been busy with school and... World of Warcraft, so I kinda hd put this one to the side. I hope to finish this one as soon as possible, because this one is really one of my favorite so far, even though it's not even finished!
Either way, I hope you enjoy. :)

Thanks Google!

Many thanks to Google for giving me a giftcard so I can use AdWords to advertise for my lil Blog. ;) I suppose that means I should really man myself up and do some more art! Yikes!

New project

So I had been going around thinking of doing a new project. I didnt know what it should be, until last night while staring at the lost trying to sleep.
I've been working on a piece of artwork of my Warlock character in World of Warcraft in a Tier 11 set (looks pretty much like a medieval executioner), but I have had some problems with the coloring and such, so I havent finished it yet.
I am so happy about the piece and the way I have made it, that I decided that I want to give it a go at 3D again and try make the same picture but only in 3D as well! It will require a lot of work and post-processing, but I think I can make it. :)
I would show off how the picture look so far though, but I would say it ruins a bit the fun! I will try to finish the picture soon though, because it really annoys me to see a good picture like that just rot in my CG folder...
