A flamingo and an owl

Can't handle these birthdays. There are simply too many of them!

Swirls

Some sticker designs that I have been making. Planning to print them and give them as souvenirs for few people in December.

Stop using ugly colours

Never.

Finished owl

I got photos of the finished owl card. Colours are a little bit off but it doesn't matter. 

Thank you J-M for taking these!

Tiny tiger cub in the jungle

I was asked to do some cards long, LONG time ago, so I made... one.

 Some photos of the process..

Here's the finished work of the Green bird

I gave this for my mother as a birthday present. She loves Angry Birds!

Working at Rovio

 Wow, two posts on the same day. Who knew?

Once again I am talking about Angry Birds. Official stuff this time.

Like I said before, I started an internship at Rovio Entertainment on November. I really enjoy working there and I have learned so many things! It took some time for me to adapt the style and learn how things are done there, but I think I am finally getting the hang of it. This wouldn't have been possible without wonderful co-workers!

Not so long time ago we finished a commercial where the Angry Birds advertise Samsung's new phone, Samsung Galaxy Note. This wasn't my first Angry Birds project (my first AB project was the Ham'o'Ween short where I did a draft storyboard) but it was my first time working on AB project with other people at Rovio.

The commercial goes very fast (it's only 15 seconds long) so you might not be able to notice everything on first view.

I inked and painted digitally the backgrounds for this commercial. Layout and colour keys were done by insanely talented Jean Michel Boesch. I also drew the christmas hats and made lineart for the phones. The phones were beautifully coloured by Veronica. Oh, and I also made storyboards for this.

And just to let you know: I am not allowed to publish backgrounds, storyboards or anything "behind the scenes" related stuff of Angry Birds or anything that I do at Rovio. I can only show here the finished product that has already put on Youtube and some fanart.

A gift

One of my friends is a huge fan of My Little Pony: Friendship is Magic. Since we see so rarely I decided to make something My Little Pony-related for her as a gift. Her favorite pony is Rainbow Dash so it was obvious to make a "card" of that character.

This card is actually very old. It was made on August, if I remember right. I'm very aware that the character doesn't really look exactly like Rainbow Dash but back then when I made this I wasn't so familiar with that show or the characters. Now I would probably make a better one but I think this looks nice enough.

And some shots without a frame..

 And of course without a background.

Smirk

I have been painting some props for our puppet animation at my house. However, the paint's smell gives me a headache so I have to take breaks every 30 minutes. I would keep the window open but it's so cold outside. I guess I have to go to school to paint them because at least there's good air conditioning.

During my breaks I worked on this piece:

I listened Shinedown - Diamond Eyes and Phil Collin's A Day in Paradise while inking and colouring this. Now when I think about it, it was indeed a weird combination.

Man, that A Day in Paradise song really is hypnotic..
