Coop-Artwork: The Heroes of the Valley


Florian and Simon (links in the side bar) and me did this painting over a couple of weeks together. Step by step it was passed from one to another without a plan, so it shaped up almost by itself.


Here you can see how it developed from an abstract thing to this artwork:

Pirates of Black Cove ingame video

Here is a clip from the demo which shows some graphics I did for the game.
For example the menue background, UI icons and the first cutscene at the beginning, which was a beast ... I finished it in 2 working days. There are more of them in the game. I'm curious to see how all turned out, as I didn't animate them, just provided the layered images.

Swamp Bird

I uploaded a horrible doodle yesterday night, which I just had to delete again this morning. But I gave it another chance and invested more time in the doodle bird. Now it's a speedy bird.

3D Version of Mastema


Maybe you remember my artwork for the Dominance War 4 in 2009 which is showcased on my main website. Well, some weeks ago Jit Chun Khiew from Malaysia asked for permission to take my concept further and make a 3D model from it for his reel .
Now it's finished and turned out pretty cool. Check it out!
