Dig Dig Boom in a Steam wishlist, with artwork from @PowerSimon.bsky.social
I like the way the new artwork by @powersimon.bsky.social looks in the Steam wishlist. You too can admire it that way by pressing the shiny Wishlist button: store.steampowered.com/app/2026040/...
(Or if you happen to be interested in #Roguelike / mining #indiegames with a demo on #Steam!)

Chilling in the pool
Some design work done while at Qvisten Animation for the film Bukkene Bruse.
Most of the time we just played around with forms in blender rather than actually drawing out the concept art.
Made for some nice gifs ๐๏ธ
We did some character designs for the mascot of the Norwegian chocolate brand Stratos recently. Simon collaborating with @theahovind.bsky.social , delivering designs to Imagma animation (@imagmaanimation on IG) .
Have a look! ๐ฎ๐ฎ๐ฎ๐ซ๐ซ๐ซ
Simon experimenting with some funky new techniques at the local life drawing sessions in Oslo, namely pixel art! ๐พ Drawn on location on an iPad in front of a live model in 1-7 minute poses.

Even more prototypes! Or rather.. A jam, in this case! Made for Ludum Dare 56, you play a desperate, depressed guy whose bedroom is invaded by cute, blue creatures
At the end of his rope, you can only stomp ๐

Prototypes!
Here's a fairly recent prototype playing with the premise "can we gamify doomscrolling?". In order to stay sane you must constantly like new posts, disable ads, swipe away push notifications.

A malevolent god-like creature with three eyes and roots growing out of its head. It looks like it's smiling in excitement.
