Some character designs

A year or so ago, I drew some character designs for a learning game project that didn't end up happening. Here they are:

New game stuff

Over the past year, I've painted a couple of graphics for the browser-based strategy game "Aloha: Paradise Hotel". Here are a few of them:

You can play the game for free right here: PLAY ALOHA


Also, I recently made some item graphics for the current 2-year anniversary event of Angry Birds Epic:

They're still adding new content to that game, and I think it's really fun!

Style Runner (game jam)

A couple of months ago, I did a game jam with Studio Fizbin. You can now download & play the game we made ("Style Runner") right here:

It's not completely finished & a little buggy, but I think it's pretty fun!

Angry Birds Epic and other games

I don't know if I've mentioned this around here before, but my day job consists mainly of drawing/painting/designing stuff for video games. The release of the latest (and, to date, biggest) game I've worked on, Angry Birds Epic, seemed like a good opportunity to point you to some of the other games I have contributed to over the last couple of years. For most of these, I have done a mix of user interface design, characters, backgrounds, and icons/items. In all but one case (Apnoe), the art direction wasn't done by me and I therefore had very little influence on the style and overall look of the games. But since the guy who art-directed most of these games is really good, that's not so bad.

These are all iTunes links. Most of these are also available for Android and other systems, but I'm too lazy right now to look up the links.

I'm totally addicted to Angry Birds Epic right now, so I'd absolutely recommend that you at least check that one out - even if you're not a fan of the previous Angry Birds games. I think the Happy Hills games, Bloodstroke, Word Wonders, and Towers & Dungeons are also well worth looking at if you like casual games.
