Birthday greeting

Started my first CG-painting this year with a birthday greeting to my mum. 100% chance of Karaoke night if her Filipino friends are invited!

Torghatten, Brønnøysund

Last year a friend of mine wanted me to paint a picture for her mothers birthday.  The painting had to include the mountain from my hometown in Norway called "Torghatten" Likewise it also were to include seagulls and "Fembøring"(a type of boat) wich is also quite common here in Brønnøsynd (at least on older classical paintings from this area)

Creature of the week #132

This week's creature of the week on conceptart.org

Sound Creature. Creature of the week - #131

Decided to give a try at the weekly creature design activity at conceptart.org

This week had  quite an intresting twist where you had to create it from a given soundfile: Listen to the sound here

 
 
This large amphibian produces loud mysterious sounds that can be heard from the swamps with the help of it's heavily build chest and air sacks.  It's used for attracting members of the opposite sex, as well as alluring smaller creatures to eat.

Visually, it also attracts smaller creatures with the thin "tentacles" attached on the shoulders with firefly looking lights towards the tip. 
They are easy to detect, even when the swamps are densely packed with fog. It also fools smaller creatures by laying down into the water while only keeping the "fireflies" above it. This makes the huge creature appear smaller then it really is.

Steampunk. myths and legends

Here's my entry for the Steampunk competition at cgtalk.com



Here's the story behind it:

This image tells the steampunk version of the battle between two creatures from Greek mythology. Pegasus, the flying horse with wings. And Chimera, a monster equipped with the head of a lion, goat and a dragon. According to the legends Chimera was defeated by Pegasus, but I wanted this image to show a more dramatic moment where Pegasus who is usually assumed with flying and grace is now pushed down the image with all it's weight, while Chimera is the superior one placed higher above in the middle of the attack.

as a little side story I wanted to include the "sad/fun" situation on the poor steam punk Edderchoppers "spiders". Machines manufactured with a constant "smile" where their main task consists of pulling carried. Smiley faces were made on them to make them appear as friendly and to make people happy, even though the majority complained that they were rather creepy looking instead. Numerous of Edderchoppers are getting destroyed during the battle. They are all terrified and overwhelm by agony. But from the look on their face, they seem to be doing just fine! =)
