Happy Easter Everybody !
I've added one new picture, for a project I worked on one and a half year ago, just to have a small Easter update :) More updates will come both from this project and Battalion Wars 2 and others soon! So stay tuned and make sure to check back after Easter :)

Ps! I moved the Battalion Wars 2 concepts to Gallery/Enviroments, as they kind of belong there more than under the Concepts category. .

News 10 March, 2008

Hey, another update is here. More artwork for Battalion Wars 2. Check out the Enviroment page or thumbs here on the main page to have a look. The artwork has been placed under year 2006, since that's when I made those, but since the game has been under development through 2007 I haven't been able to show anything before now. Make sure to visit frequently :) There will be more updates in the weeks to come - from other projects as well.

I've finally managed to fix the Firefox/Mac problem, therefore I've also decided to do some small facelifts to this site.

News 4 March, 2008

Hello again, I'm glad to say that I actually can update this page without letting there be 6 months since the last update. Anyway, I have a lot to show for the next couple of months, so just keep checking back !
This time I have some Enviroment Concepts for the Wii/Nintendo game Battalion Wars 2 by Kuju. Hope you like them ! And if you have Wii, then go buy the game now ! ;)
(If anyone at Kuju or Nintendo has anything problems with these being shown please contact me. But since they are allready displayed on numerous pages and YouTube included, I thought it couldn't hurt.

News 30 January, 2008

So, it's a loooooong wait AGAIN !
I have a few things to show which I will add from now and forward. Sadly, my job as a Creative Director with games forces me to do more stuff that doesn't fit in this page.
But from time to time I do a few illustration and concept assignments and I also do some personal favours for family and friends once in a while. So I'll start of this year with a charicature I made for a friend.

Oh and Happy New Year everyone !

Ps! I also noticed that the top menu of this site is bugging on Mac with Firefox Browser. I don't own a Mac personally, and I'm no HTML expert. If anyone out there is watching this site on a Mac with Firefox and knows a lot of HTML, don't hesitate to email me (or Mozilla ;) ) and tell me what I can do to fix it. I would really appreciate it!

News 12 September, 2007

Ok! I'm reaaaaaly embarrassed. But, to be honest, I've been so freekin busy lately I won't even start whining about it. And unfortunatley it's all very game-art based, something which isn't that interesting to showcase on this site. But, if you of any case would be interested in what I've been up to, you can visit my company website www.artplant.no. ...which hasn't been updated that much lately either :D

Anyway, I've added a couple of concepts I did a while ago. I have more stuff to show, but I want to try spread it evenly all towards christmas - so this site won't lay still for another half a year ;)

Sorry again !

News 21 February, 2007

Hello. Yup it's time for the monthly update of the Dungeon Magazine illustrations :) -I know it's been a lot of updates of only fantasy lately (even though fantasy is what I do the least of at daily basis), but I'm doing a monthly illustration so therefor I will show one new every month :)
I wish I could show some other of my latest art as well, but unfortunately most of my work for the last 6 months has not been released and therefore I'm not allowed to put it out on this site...yet.

There is also other features and content that I would like to add to this site one day to make it more complete, so this is something to watch out for in the future...

One new picture added to the Illustrations section. More to come very soon.

News 17 March, 2005

Finally my new site is up.
I've been working on this site for some while now so it feels really good to finally release it.

The reasons why I've made a new site is because I wanted something that looked more simple but "better" and with a more comfortable interface. Also, I wanted to add some new features and thought that instead of messing up my last site even more, it's better to start over. And frankly, you do get bored of watching the same site over and over ;)
Some of the features of this site has not been finished yet and some parts of this site are still under development. So new buttons will appear here and there during the coming weeks...but there's still a lot to browse already.

As for the art, I've gone through a lot of the old stuff and made sure that bigger scans has replaced the old bad scans - except for a few were I could not find an original.
A lot of new art has been added as well...In most of the categories, so just flip through and hopefully there's something you will like.

And for those who like to make me feel bad, I've even added some more embarrassing old art from around 8>10 years ago.

...

Don't hesitate to write me an email if you find something that is wrong or if you have some other opinions about my new site that can make it better. All feedback are appreciated!

PS! This site is made to work with Explorer, Opera and Mozilla Firefox. I'm sure there's plenty of browsers that will not handle this site 100%, but frankly I don't really care about all those crappy browsers ;)
