Nothing but a sketch today...

Ok...some news at least :D I got feedback regarding my character concepts and they seem to like them. I was told that I'm their favorite candidate so far and that I will have an interview with them on Sunday, 2nd June through Skype. I'm kinda nervous right now. First because I really want this job and second I'm not used to talking English so I'm afraid I could screw it up :/
But I'm totally happy to have gone this far and it would be the great birthday present ever if I get this job! =)

Another qualifying test!

Hiho everyone!

I'm back from my grandparents and spend today a bit more time on the qualifying test. Because the characters sketches they showed me where kinda cute, this time I went also with a cute style. Also I did one which easily could be transferred to vector graphics. So that they see at least a bit of the range I'm capable of doing. I really really hope they like what I did, because I would love to work for them. It's the kind of game I really enjoy playing. But more to it after I know if it worked out or not. Wish me luck! :D

Imaginative Sketching

Hello! While being by my grandma I thought I would do some imaginative sketching, but somehow it didn't work out. Nonetheless here is what I did x.x

Project finished!

It's over =(( All assets for Javier are finished and so our work together ends. At least for now. He mentioned that he thinks about making another small game at the end of this year. It would be great to work with him again =)

Besides that I did another one of those imaginative sketches. Don't ask me what it is supposed to be, I couldn't really concentrate :/ Also did some more color studies.

But now on to the good news, or at least I hope they will turn out good. Currently I'm in negotiations with a start up based in Boston. They asked me to do one of their characters in the style I would imagine for the game as a little test. I didn't had much time for it today, because I had to finish up the work for Javier. But I at least did manage a fast sketch and will do another one for them on Wednesday when I'm back! So hopefully I will have a new job soon and can keep learning and improving while doing actual contract work.

Hey guys, today I finished the main menu screen. The only thing Javier wants changed is that the mute-icon is a bit to small =D

Hey guys, today I did the initial colored concepts for the main menu and end screen. I also did my fist imaginative colored sketch for Noah's Art Camp. Took me around an hour.
