I've been giving this lady a lot of my time🥰 Figuring out who she is, what she thinks and what she looks like. Lots of sketches in my #sketchbook2022. #charactersketches #characterdesign #characterconcept #visualdevelopment #conceptart (at Reykjavík, Iceland) https://www.instagram.com/p/CeqfcnCIjfJ/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

A #repost from two years ago, something more colorful than the recent pencil sketches 🐳 I've been neglecting my favourite thenes, whales and jellyfishies🤗 #kidlitart #childrensillustrations #illustration #childrensbookillustrator #marineillustration #visualdevelopment #animation https://www.instagram.com/p/CdWSmIkAZYL/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

Is it hair or hay? I don't know. Shape studies for characters. I still prefer the pencil to any other medium for my sketching ✏ #sketchbook #sketchdaily #characterdesign #visualdevelopment #charactersketches #characterconcept #pencilsketch (at Reykjavík, Iceland) https://www.instagram.com/p/CcqKQuwoA9a/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

Yay, first post on my feed in 2022🎉😁 I've managed to do some figure drawing practice in January👌 This old goblin crone is a creative outlet experiment, practicing some principles 💪😀 . . . #conceptart #characterdesign #darkfantasy #drawing #drawingfantasy #fantasyart #fantasyillustration #macabreart #fantasyart #sketchbook2022🌱 https://www.instagram.com/p/CZNKU7uAtD1/?utm_medium=tumblr

More dark fantasy. Hello you hideous, half naked man-eating crone 💀....hope I wont get banned👀 I'm planning on taking this one to full illustration👌 #conceptart #characterdesign #darkfantasy #drawing #drawingfantasy #macabreart #fantasyart #sketchbook2021🌱 (at Reykjavík, Iceland) https://www.instagram.com/p/CYCVywKgGI5/?utm_medium=tumblr

The past couple of months have been pretty rough and I've not been feeling like doing much personal drawing. Finally I felt like grabbing my pencils and drawing something semi-random...leaning into dark fantasy💀. It felt very good🥰 #conceptartist #conceptdesign #darkfantasy #drawing #drawingfantasy #macabreart #fantasyart #sketchbook2021🌱 (at Seltjarnarnes) https://www.instagram.com/p/CXgzoC9gaKP/?utm_medium=tumblr

At work we have been sharing some bits of the concept artwork I've been doing the past 3 years for Island of winds. Here is one of the environment or mood artworks for a specific level. #conceptart #visualdevelopment #environmentdesign #gameart #gamedev #gamedevelopment (at Reykjavík, Iceland) https://www.instagram.com/p/CWTkezkgbpG/?utm_medium=tumblr

It's throwback Thursday again. These are a part of a personal project I did back in 2017 as digital painting practice and in making stylized fantasy assets. Looking back is great for seeing how much learning has been done since👌 Have a nice weekend! #throwbackthursday #tbthursday #visualdevelopment #gameart #fantasyart (at Reykjavík, Iceland) https://www.instagram.com/p/CWJtcHMg6Ll/?utm_medium=tumblr

I've resumed my virtual plein air studies and although I've not managed to keep my (overly optimistic) new year's resolution of 1-2 a week, I am very pleased to see technical progress!

Her name is Tina. She is loud and impulsive. She has a tendency to have ideas that sound safer than they are in practice and she usually has no problem explaining!  By her side is Freyja, her pet dog (guard dog if you ask Freyja herself). Freyja is by Tina's at all times..... except when Freyja wants to nap all day, she is allowed to nap all day if she wants. 🐩🐕🐾 . . . #characterdesign #animation #conceptartist #illustrationartist #visualdevelopment #conceptart #illustration #girlpower (at Reykjavík, Iceland) https://www.instagram.com/p/CVgYRZaAY_R/?utm_medium=tumblr
