Dream Bear NPCs

2010-04-09T10:20:00.001-07:00

A bunch of NPCs from the Dream Bear world, the big versions will pop up in oldskool rpg style dialogue screens, for crucial story scenes, minigames or when you go shopping at one of their stores.
The dutch version of Dream Bear will go online in June *excited*

2010-04-07T10:17:00.001-07:00

Got me a Cintiq 21" today and fuck, this beast is massive! I loooove it! <3

Wall Mural collab with Monk

2009-10-01T01:20:00.000-07:00

Hey kids! Look! The wall's done! Yay!

Oh, right

2009-09-21T07:40:00.001-07:00

Monk's coming over tonight, so we can finish this piece, only got halfway with it before we left for the States :p

Here's proof :p

Wall Art sketches

2009-07-09T06:52:00.000-07:00

So, me and Monk will be painting a wall in our new studio next week, sketching out some of the chars that are gonna be on it. Yeeeep.

SS Art done and new DreamBear BG

2009-06-30T07:13:00.001-07:00

There. Done. No more time for colors. I quite happy with it, even though I see waaaay too many flaws, but hey, guess thats life.

And the sketch for the new DreamBear BG, the building in the back will be the furniture store. Yea.

Sloooowww

2009-06-20T08:47:00.000-07:00

Though I still like the idea behind this pic, Im kinda bored with how its turning out, no way back now though, need to finish it, but it's going slooooowly...

Dream Bear - The Barbershop

2009-06-17T03:00:00.001-07:00

The sketch thus far, this will be the place where you can customize your bears look (give it a new color, new face, hair etc). Thinking of adding a bored lady bear with pink cotton candy hair behind the counter, filing her nails and a semi gay bear who's doing another npc's hair.

Oh, those arent wood panels on the walls, dont worry Nadia, its striped wallpaper ;)

Woah, half June already?

2009-06-15T07:46:00.000-07:00

Fuck, its half June already? Working on the pic again, Psycho is gonna get a complete overhaul, new pose etc. Need to finish it this week...

Dream Bear - Main Square Step by Step

2009-06-12T04:44:00.001-07:00

Here's a step by step of how I made the Main Square, for those who were interested :)

I started out with some rough sketching, figuring out what I wanted to do with the pic. The perspective angle was pretty much set already, cause of the way the bears will be moving trough areas.

I then made a rough 3D model, which allows me to see if the thing I had in my head work in perspective and play around with the placement of the buildings and such.

Brought the render into Photoshop and started drawing over it (I hardly ever draw on paper anymore...)

And done:

WIPpppppp

2009-05-25T08:25:00.000-07:00

Spend some time today fixing the lightsource. Dont worry, Growl will cast a shadow on the Shadowbear behind him.

Too hot today, drowning in my own sweat. I want to go swimming damnit...

color WIP again

2009-05-22T05:24:00.000-07:00

Fuck my ass, Im so slow at coloring stuff lately.
... crap, just noticed those shadows dont make sense with the way the lighting should be -_-

Growl + ShadowBears colors WIP

2009-05-20T01:22:00.001-07:00

Damn you sun! I cant see shit on my Cintiq! ...hard to color this way -_-

Working on dem colors today, yaaaaarrrrrrrr

Hehe, another WIP

2009-05-19T08:00:00.000-07:00

I'm probably the only one who can still make sense of this pic :p Perspective is still wonky... working on it, haha!

SS Artbook piece WIP 2

2009-05-18T08:55:00.001-07:00

Decided to go for a more simple composition, time to work on the char design now...

SS Artbook piece WIP

2009-05-16T15:06:00.000-07:00

For the Satellite Soda artbook.

So, ok, I like the three figures in the bottom part, kinda figuring out how to fit Badfunk and uhm... evil space chick in there, will try some stuff out tomorrow/tonight. But yea, still working on other deadlines and such, while doing this. Any ideas on cropping, composition, whatever, always welcome :)

Let's Make Out Colors

2009-05-15T02:32:00.000-07:00

Threw on some quick colors.

Let's Make Out

2009-05-14T13:29:00.001-07:00

Almost at 50.000 pageviews on DeviantArt, wanted to draw a pic of two people making out anyways, so, there. Colors coming later, maybe. Yep yep. I'll upload it on dA when I ht 50K obviously :p

Prince Growl and his Shadow Bears

2009-05-12T07:37:00.000-07:00

Finally, had time to finish those lines, tomorrow, background and colors.

The (still nameless) princess

2009-05-11T08:27:00.001-07:00

One of the first sketches of our still nameless princess of Great Beronia. Roel wants to call her Jade, but fuck him, too cliche. Also sounds like she's a prostitute -_- I like where its going so far, but the design isnt what I want it to be yet...

I'll give ya all some more info on her with the next designs/sketches.

Growl + ShadowBears progress

2009-05-07T06:34:00.000-07:00

Had some time to work on this again, big, gloved hands are hard to draw <.<

Growl and his Shadow Bears

2009-05-06T05:12:00.000-07:00

Adding two shadow bears, one of the trying to catch a wild Dream Creature, to the growl pic. WIP WIP.

Shadowbears

2009-05-04T06:57:00.001-07:00

EDIT: First designs were too scary, working on better ones now...

First work in progress of a Shadowbear design. Prince Growl uses magic masks (or other objects, we're still thinking about that one, something you can shoot off em with a catapult) to turn ordinary Dream Bears into Shadowbears, who use their big gloved hands to catch dreams and turn em into nightmares. Those fuckers! :o

DreamBear - Prince Growl Lines

2009-04-28T07:38:00.001-07:00

Lineart of the DreamBear world villain. I wanted to finish this pic so bad, I drew him even though the doctor said I couldnt draw... 5 mins of drawing, 15 min break... ugh... Colors soon, I hope, then you'll get some more info on him too. Here's a hint, nightmares.

Prince Growl

2009-04-22T05:51:00.000-07:00

WIP of the main villain of the DreamBear world, Prince Growl.

DreamBear Blog Promo pic

2009-04-20T23:27:00.001-07:00

This one took me ages, haha, way too long, but damn, it was fun to work on. Been a while since I last did my own colors, was exciting to do it again. Not completely satisfied yet, but I already spend too much time on it (had to be finished yesterday), so, leaving it alone for now.

Its gonna be the background for the upcoming DreamBear blog, I tried to make it so that people with different screen sizes and resolutions could always see something interesting. Me, I cant see the panda bear on my screen, not completely anyways (I have a 1920x1080 resolution), but I can see the whole part on the right. Other people will be able to see the panda, but not the right side etc. Let's see how that'll work out

Guess this is the first pic I've shown with a Dream Orb in it, more info on that later I guess, haha. Hopefully I'll be able to crap out some promo character artwork later this week. Like Emperor Panda, the Nightmare Bears, the princess and the main villain. I'm telling you, this game is getting more and more fun to work on. YOOOOSHHH!!!

Dreambear Blog WIP

2009-04-17T05:34:00.000-07:00

I havent colored in quite some time, this is fun! ^^ WIP WIP WIP, yep yep

Can't stop working on this...

2009-02-18T10:06:00.000-08:00

Seriously, I need to be working on Holle Bolle Gijs colors, but this pic is just too damn much fun... I like mutant me and Nadia being all badass! :P

Fallout Slither

2009-02-18T04:58:00.000-08:00

Working on this in between paid stuff... WIP WIP WIP

'Lysogenic Cycle CD cover' and 'Jungle Stew'

2009-02-18T04:47:00.001-08:00

"Jungle Stew"

Artwork for an iPhone game we're working on, title will appear in the sky, with the menu etc, then scrolls down into the jungle and eventually you'll zoom in on the big cooking pot with the cannibals and doctor Livingstone and the game starts. Going to be 480x330 pixels (iPhone screen), so, smaaalll :p

"Lysogenic Cycle"

CD cover for a band called Lysogenic Cycle, gonna be their first cd, good stuff ^^. It's T4 viruses attacking bacteria. With a horror twist.

Was coloring this and halfway trough it I realized those are pretty much Matrix colors... oh well :p

28 Sketches... the first 4

2009-02-18T04:43:00.000-08:00

Im making 28 sketches for people on DeviantArt cause I got 40K pageviews, here's the first 4 of em...

'Tom & Roel' and 'Battle Blox'

2009-02-18T04:39:00.000-08:00

"Battle Blox"

Artwork for an online 'battle tetris' game called Battle Blox. Basically Tetris, played with two players online, with two chars that hit each other every time you clear a line and do specials and such...
Tried to re-use a lot of the loose body parts to speed up my work for this, was fun to do. Chars gonna be about half or a third the size of what they're now in the final game.

Also, one of the backgrounds I did, for the pirate girl. Slither Astray gave me some good pointers on the background colors, thanks babe! ^^

"Tom & Roel"

For our logo...

Yes, Wii Can! and Holle Bolle Gijs Lineart

2008-12-22T05:42:00.000-08:00

"Yes, Wii Can!"

Made for the same client I made 'I have a Dreamcast' for. Fun stuff to work on, Obama's face is pretty damn kickass to draw.

"Holle Bolle Gijs"

Friend of mine is making as short horror movie based on an old Dutch rhyme (Holle Bolle Gijs = Hollow Fat Gijs), about a man who couldn't stop eating. The rhyme is actually pretty harmless, but when you read it with a darker tone in mind, it turns into something dark and wicked. Anyways, he needed some artwork to show what he had in mind to his crew, actors and make up people, that's where I came in. Colors coming soonish...

Yaaaarrrrrr!!!

2008-09-23T07:53:00.000-07:00

Arghhhhh!!!
