My latest characters

My latest work:

Working on: Tiger Girl Outfit

Here's a preview of some of the clothes and stuff I'm making for work.

First time on TV!

So those of you who know me might remember that I work for a Danish online game called MoviestarPlanet. I'm the art director and game designer, and I'm responsible for the graphics and content as well as coming up with new ideas. A couple of days ago we launched our first TV commercial! This is the first time my illustrations and graphics have been on TV which I think is pretty cool. The commercial runs on Cartoon Network in Denmark, Sweden and Norway and the motion graphics have been made by a UK agency that I don't know the name of. But anyway, I'm pretty proud that our game has made it this far and is branching out in the rest of Scandinavia, and I just wanted to share this news.

Monster Update

It's been a while since I've posted. I've just had so much to do and been so busy with work. But there's lots to share so I'll just go right ahead.

First of all we've updated our website at work with a new front page design. I have a new design partner, Michal Bendtsen, who's very cool and good at game design. He and I are making a lot of changes for Moviestar Planet so hopefully it'll start looking much better than before. We're also working on a lot of other new things that I'll post in the future. This is the new front page design:

Besides work I haven't had much time to be creative but I did succeed in making some crazy sketches with my boyfriend one night. I'll add them later on. I also tried drawing David Bowie for my kid sister but the results were pretty awful. I have to really remind myself not to quit when I make something that looks like crap. I have to learn from my mistakes and I can't do that if I hide my work away and don't get feedback. So well, here's Bowie made in pencil, watercolor and photoshop sketching:

I've also been playing around with a new photo editing program that I just got my hands on. The results are really good. I'll write more about that later as well. I'll try to update more often when I have more energy. Work takes up a lot of my time, not only during the day but also when I'm off. I just can't seem to let it go. Anyway, here are some of my photos, one of New York and another of Paris. I'll update more soon.

Character design - Boonies

I haven't had time to post much this week. I've been working on the VIP version of our in-game pet called a Boonie. This character was developed by me, to be the pet of the game avatars we have. It's supposed to be a kind of alien race and it's very cute. It has 4 different stages so you don't immediately know what it will look like and it hatches from a big polka dotted egg. It's animated so you can feed it and pet it. Here are a couple of examples of the Boonie designs I've worked on this week.

Space Girl

This is the main costume I worked on today. For the boys I'm making a Death costume. Very freaky.

Costume Design

A Danish holiday called Fastelavn is coming up. It's kinda like Halloween, only less spooky. Kids dress up in all kinds of costumes and eat special baked goods called Fastelavnsboller. It's like rolls filled with cream. So naturally I'm making new costumes for the game I work on. I'm nowhere near done but it's a lot of fun to do something other than regular fashion. Here are some examples:

008 - Party Girl

This is some of my actual work. I'm designing some clothes for the VIPs on the online game I work for. I'm going for the whole punk-trashy-life trend and so far the girls seem to love it. Personally I'd love to have hair like this!
