Elysium Point of no return

Our last school assignment centered around the point of no return in a movie, game or other story. One of the exploratory thumbnails were chosen and feedback given for polish, along with a callout.

Terra cotta Point and Click

Here's a huge photodump from the latest game I was involved in at The Game Assembly: a point and click where you converse with glitchy A.I.'s and terraform mars.

Terra cotta concepts

A few concepts from the latest of our games at The Game Assembly.

Outfit studies

Good and Bad Environments

Just started our concept arts course at school, and here's the first assignment. Two mornings' work, and two environments.

Ronja rövardotter

The end result of my Lindgren character assignment at school: Ronja the Robber's daughter.

Character concept: Tengil

This week's assignment; a concept based on a character from the tales of Astrid Lindgren. I chose Tengil, all power to him, our liberator, ruler of Törnrosdalen and master of the dragon Katla.

Found out today that he was one of three concepts picked by our teachers to serve the entire class as material for our next few weeks of character modelling. Exciting!

Modular Venetian Villa

Last week's assignment in class: a photo-sourced set of modules with which to snap together entire buildings.

3d model - Spellbook

A week of white-knuckled modelling, skinning and texturing, and this is the result: the Travelling Magician's Companion.

Inuit girl - lowpoly model

This week's school assignment resulted in my first true 3d model: a lowpoly Inuit girl hunter, clocking in at a mere 498 triangles.

Zorn paraphrase portrait

An interesting assignment at school: to study a great artist and try to adopt his or her style for a self portrait. I chose the swedish master Anders Zorn. It was a real challenge to make something look like traditional oil paint in photoshop.

Material studies

Color studies at school

Color's the name of the game. To the left, I picked the Rialto bridge in Venice as a subject, and painted it three times with different color schemes. To the right, five studies of subsurface scattering.

Guy Hero Poster

Still listening to Cox n' Crendor's podcast. Still loving it. Here's a collage of the heroes and villains of the Cox n' Crendor universe. Listen, it's going to be the next Avengers.

Quest UI

For this week's first assignment, the guys and girls from King's Malmoe office came over to talk about user interfaces, and left us the task to mock up a start screen and failure/retry screen for a mobile game.

I decided on a management rpg with some roguelike aspects, in which you play as an Arthurian ruler sending your champions out on quests and crusades.

Thumbnails - a conclusion

The last one of this week's thumbnail-centered assignments: exploring environments to arrive at one urban, and one rural setting. And finally, a combined image of the character and his companion in one of the environments.

Thumbnailing a Companion for the Roman shaman

Today's assignment: design a companion for yesterday's character. I made a lion-laden boar.

Thumbnailing a Roman shaman

Character design assignment at school: using thumbnails for exploration and experimentation. The result: a Roman shaman.

Composition Breakdown

A composition breakdown assignment at school, aiming to analyze and utilize the same composition as another image - in this case: John Singer Sargent's 'Smoke of Ambergris'.

Heist the game

An image dump from the first game I've made at The Game Assembly, Malmö, Sweden: a cyberpunk-inspired text adventure called >heist.

Hopefully, the team and I will find a convenient way to put it up for download, if any of you want to try it out! I'll post it here, when and if we do.
