Update =o

Guess it's been a while! Had a great internship in London working mostly on the game cinematics for the new FPS game "Brink" and also animated on a bunch of commercial work. Just recently graduated and is now all finished with my bachelor in animation in Denmark where my bachelor movie "The Backwater Gospel" premiered at the cinema! (It can be seen online soon)

I have to wait a bit before I can post the animation and concept art I did at The Mill. So meanwhile I'll just fill up the rest of this post by dumping out the few scribbles I did while I was there..

Cheers!

Life drawings

Here's a couple of quick life drawings.
Some of theese were made at school where we had nude models and an actor, while others were drawn at meetings and stuff..

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.

3x update

Haven't updated this blog since last year now, so I guess it's time to get started again.

Here's an animation exercise from last week. The task was to make someone interact with a box. Didn't have much time to work with it, so an extra day with fixing and polishing would have been -kewl.




Here's something from last year. It's a 20 sec Tv ident for Nicelodeon. I had around one and a half week to do the animation, the rest of the work was done by the danish company KMA




Then a couple of quick sketches I made during the last two months.

Quick sketches

Here's some 10-20 min sketches I did at a daily sketch thread from a norwegian forum called storedyret.com. Usually each thread has their it's own headline.

(the blue cat in one of the drawings were not made by me.
It was copied and pasted from a brilliant norwegian artist named Olve Askim )

Cat sketches and rough character sheets

New assignment for this week: Animate Goofy lifting

Yet another perspective:

Some random poses we did for the "flour sack"
