Lotet vs Harlequin

Here’s an interesting one.

In making games together for two years now, my friend and co-artist Alex Lusth and I have turned into something of a Dynamic Duo, working very close together and matching our styles. It has gone so far that people have a hard time telling which images are his and which are mine, even though the differences to us are huge.

From this sprung the idea of letting our individual styles face each other off in a grand battle. And so I started from the right hand of the canvas, drawing an army facing to the left and Lusth began on the left hand, facing right, and eventually the two hordes would clash in the middle.

It was also a great opportunity to make parodies of our own styles. Hence all the clowns and pretty ladies to the right and all the skeletons and darklings to the left.

Troll Hunter

I’m not sure what to say about this one. I wanted to bring modern high fantasy to the forests of Scandinavia. It’s sort of World of Warcraft meets John Bauer.

Knytt 3D

I’m struggling to learn 3d.

Northen Mermaid

“This doesn’t make sense”, I heard about this one. “She can’t wear clothes under water.”
Well, I’m not paid to make sense and I think it’s a rather entertaining idea. It must be freezing where she’s from.

Life's better the second time

I’ve been playing World of Warcraft again, for almost a month this time. I like the character and creature design of WoW, even though I don’t think they get it all right in the actual game. Nevertheless it inspires me strangely to do more classical fantasy, something I usually try to avoid.
This particular piece is, as you may see, heavily inspired by WoW.

(I no longer play the game, but I frequently find myself browsing their model viewer.)

Midnight

Here’s some artwork from an RTS game me and my friends created during the spring of 2010, called Midnight. What you see is a Paper Soldier standing on the remains of a Rock warrior and being attacked by a Scissors monster. My main task in this production was as character designer.

Bill, world's happiest cockatoo

A friend of mine upon seeing me working on this piece: "Since when do you draw naughty pinups?"
Another friend: “He always has.”

This is a fact that can be a bit surprising to those who know me. I know it is to me!

Heaven's gate

Drawn live at Dreamhack 2010.

Malkavian '10 - Henrik Jäkel + Eddie

A new round of Vampire the Masquerade and a new malkavian. This one, it turned out, was much too complicated to play (having a split personality disorder and two very extreme and difficult-to-play personalities in one character) but in the end it was a rewarding experience and it gave me a rather neat picture to show.

Troll Doll

I tried World of Warcraft for a week, and this is a summary of my overall experience of the game. Go figure.

Harlequin

This could perhaps have been a self portrait, had I been more awesome.

Red Riding Hood

Malkavian '09 - Tord

This is probably the first decent piece I managed to produce with a Wacom tablet. It is also a portrait of my very first pen-and-paper character: Tord the malkavian from Vampire the Masquerade, who to this day is still very dear to me, and no doubt the best role-playing character I’ve ever played since.
