University Projects: Thumbnails

Gonna upload some thumbnails that we made last weeks, I’m not happy of the itchy upload quality (School scanner went insane.)
We were to choose one out of two design concepts. I picked the one called “Clash of Heavens”. I interpreted the design to be about old religions and myths invading our modern realm. So I started designing characters that were not inline with any world. This was due to the background was supposed to change back and forth between mythological […]

Doodle of the day

took me about an hour to create. went to the extra drawing group and tried to work some more on anatomy. ( I see now the arms are rubbish)
with the coloring i went with something in a dark or blood magic way.

Game Design: BFH continued and Random

Battle for Hildegaard.
Crazy card game it was, have tried out two basic decks of the 25 cards me and a friend composed the other night. It was pretty slow and sluggish due to to much damage mitigation on units. Problem will be solved and the game pace will hopefully be higher next time.
I’m very sorry for not writing alot, school and other projects are taking alot of time, (Misery mistreated, Secret society game, Motra, BFH, Domains…) list is long of […]

First step in digital drawing!

Last weeks assignment was about drawing 20 diffrent thumbnails to a allready decided concept. Either the concept “Bella and her umbrella” (the characters had to be a princess with an umbrella) or “Clash of heavens” (the characters had to be able to look like they can fight gods in another reality). I chose “Bella and her umbrella” and this is what I came up with.

I chose to have the mood and feel of Tim Burton’s artstyle with adding some […]

Everybody Is a Noob Jam

Today I had my second game jam and it was very fun and a learning experience. We had to create a game in Game Maker in 5-6 hours. The game was to be inspired from two words, these were Everyday and Doom. In a team of 3 coders and a poor artist (me) we started planning out the game. Luckily everyone worked really well together and we quickly decided on our idea.
A retro-styled platformer in low resolution was what we […]

Back to basics!

Alright then, back to basics. This week my 2D drawing course started in school and it has so far been a very fun experience. I got to learn how to draw basic humans using simple and fast methods. I’ve never really been taught by anyone on how to draw or sketch before and most of my drawing experience comes from drawing whatever came to mind. I got to do sketching of nude models which felt weird at first but I […]

Finally the fun has begun. This week the first 2D graphical course started, I’m really excited what I will learn from this course.
The assignment this week was to do 20 thumbnails of a game-concept. we could choose either Bella Umbrella, a princess with an umbrella that is trying to save her kingdom, or the other concept which was Clash of Heavens, an open 3D platform world full of war and chaos.
I went for the Umbrella concept as I thought the description […]

First Week of the Drawing Course

This first week has been fully focused on seeing and drawing gestures. It has been quite challenging, one keeps going back to “copying” the model continuously. What we have been doing now is practicing to turn that part of the brain off and draw the essence more than the form you are seeing. I didn’t understand this at first, but now I do. I’ve been to three life drawing sessions this week and have developed a lot from just that. […]

As for my Thumbnails
I decided to do the Princess Bella and Her Umbrella concept, as I wanted to try and make different versions of the same character. They became very different. The one I am the most happy with is the Asian styled princess with the green dress. I wanted to make someone kind and quirky that did not fit in the usual princess-frame.
Except for her (and a few others) most of my Princesses look a bit dark, sort […]

Doodle(s) of the day

This time i got a hunch to create something…gooey.
From that a blobb with a umbrella was born. i Acctully think it would look cooler without the legs and just be a big ooze that wanders around and makes your day. Anyhow, tell me what you think and draw something yourself.

First week of 2D drawings!

The start of the 2D graphics course was really exciting and something I have been looking forward to. We jumped into the drawing and theories right away. This was a bit terrifying since I lack experience with 2D drawings, but we learned some really valuable concepts and theories which helped a lot.

 The principles and components I used for the drawings were those taught to us by Pernilla. These included the loose sketching of the model to try and capture […]
