2013 

Whoa, so long time since last post... I have been so busy, maybe its finally time to share some of it in here as well.  We went to Germany to pick up our price for Your Greatest Glory 2012 video competition, i have been doing quite many hired painting works through War Head, photographed many many different events and projects around Finland (and some at Germany, Sweden and UK), participated to Fest 2013 Training Ground at Portugal, filmed new entry for Greatest Glory, started new short as director, did few commercial works for different companies, including our recent Head Hunter Store commercial, we shot entry for Viikon Sketsi competition, did HUGE amount of visual effects for The Last Romantic Couple feature film, some slightly smaller post production projects, continued our on going Ruined Films productions and developed Ruined Films and War Head in general. 

And i did design some new graphics and looks for Poromagia and i won best diorama award at Ropecon 2013 ( might be only personal miniature i painted all year so far ).

Im sure there is plenty still missing but thats a start! 

It has been quite mad, but here and there i have squeeze in some moments to sit ( or stand ) and draw, to keep my painting and drawing improving. It´s been mostly filling some sketch pads, not so much finished piece of artwork. But it keeps you in flow. 

Some practice for my new found interest, inks + watercolors. Here comes the Spider-Man! 

And here we have Black Cat!

I did these two banners for Poromagia to take to events...

... and added some "color" to their store as well.

Chilling on the Beach 

Small animation i made for trying out workflow. I could work this one further later on, but more likely i will start some new animation project... Although that might include some penguins as well. It seems this is turning out almost penguin exclusive blog... 

Made pretty traditional way, draw each frame, put ´em one after another. But all digital this one! Some of the water is made with animated curves tho.

And the winner is...

Ruined Films took part again this year to G&G Armaments "Your Greatest Glory" video contest. Last year we did pretty well and won the main price, Best Commercial Video award.

And guess what? We did it again ;)

I want to thank whole cast and crew for their hard work with this one and everyone who gave us their vote and support!

Spider sense tingling 

Yet another cosplaying penguin. And next one is just around the corner...

NIGHTmare

I have been doing mostly film/commercial post production stuff recently, but my latest work was some graphic design: i made logo and poster for upcoming feature film "Nightmare". It was also nice to be able to take part of photographing the actors, which were filmed by Liisa Valonen. Rest of the stuff (excluding the boat) comes from my own library (those holiday pictures can come in handy sometimes!).

Other than that i´ve been getting more and more back to traditional mediums and doing some experimenting with them, mostly acrylics, inks and watercolor now. More of those coming up soon!

Double Feature

I took me some time to get new post here, but now penguins return in a pack of two! Penguin of Thunder and The Penguin Crusader!

Penguin America

I´ve been busy with some movie work, so its been a while since a had time to paint anything. But today i started couple new penguin pics! 
And these penguins got all dressed up, probably for next Halloween. Thor didn´t quite make it yet for today, but here is one Captain ready to Avenge some!

More Acrylics

Yet again more fun with acrylics. First one is another Marvels Iron man related and second one is concept art kinda thing for one of our projects at War Head. Both were quite quick ones, just sit down for half a evening and relax :)

Stars and Stripes

More fun with acrylics. Original one is actually quite small, around 20cm wide.

Hulk Smash!

I have watched The Avengers couple times now, and one thing i can say for sure is that Hulk was great. Hands down best Banner and Hulk we seen so far in cinemas. So i cooked this one up quite quickly for fun and decided to leave it nice and colorful piece, enjoy!

Lotl Botl

Its been such long time since i did any traditional painting, its all been digital for years and years. So i decided to get back to basics and took some acrylics ( i actually used some miniature paints since i had those at hand ) and did this quick little painting. It was really fun, probably gonna do some more near future and maybe actually spend some time on it!

And if you are wondering what in the earth is Lotl Botl you can find it out here ;)
