FAN FRIDAY | Reboot!Tomb Raider

GameStop Norway had a competition on their FB page to win the limited edition PS4, so of course I had to give it a try! (My budget doesn't allow for a PS4 console... yet!) Unfortunately, it was not that well run and the whole process was a mess from the start.

I thought I had an extra day so I had a whole background planned... and then they changed the deadline the day before and after I rushed and submitted it unfinished... they changed it back to the original deadline.

In the end a pretty great entry featuring Nathan Drake won, so it wasn't all bad. Their judging was spot on! (The winners tumblr is here, check her out!)

Though... maybe GameStop Norway is in the need of some fresh faces in their social media management team? ;^) I'm am seriously thinking about sending them an e-mail! ☆Hire me!☆

Ah well! At least I got to do some Tomb Raider fanart!♥

I'm pretty excited for the new game coming out! I'm crossing my fingers for a release on PS4 too!

Busy Busy!

I've been pretty busy with projects lately- sorry!
Christmas is coming up and I haven't even had the time to send out the Christmas letters to my friends... I am really failing this Christmas-planning thing.

Here is a sketch from my sketchbook that I tried (unsuccessfully) to color in an interesting way- everything just turned very... rosy. At least it was an interesting exercise! :^)

#Color blocks | Week 48

Some fun color blocks inspired by the lovely Tiffany Ford.
I decided to do the outfits I could remember wearing this week... unfortunately my main go-to outfit color is black, gray and white so it's more "gray-scale block".

Oslo

I've been busy-busy with projects!
Last weekend I visited a friend in Oslo to celebrate her birthday- luckily there is a direct flight from my city to the capital, so sitting on a train for 12+ hours wasn't needed... hurray!♥

The birthday-party was a blast and we didn't even make it outside of the apartment because of all the excitement! Thanks for a great party! :^) Invite me next year too!!

On Sunday we had a lazy day consisting of eating great Vietnamese food, drinking bubble-tea and doodling. In the car ride to the restaurant I saw this guy carrying his dog on his shoulder like a parrot!

A+ weekend.

Det lille som skal til - Helsekontoen

I've been working with a design firm these past months on a couple of different projects and when I went out on a run I stumbled over an ad-shell of a campaign we just finished that has some of my work in it!♪

I knew they were out there somewhere, but I hadn't seen them yet so I was pretty excited when I found it! There are a lot of different posters coming out in the area where I live with some elements that I have done with the team, some backgrounds, some people, some ideas and even one where I am the person in the ad! Pretty neat! (I will make my best attempt at taking a photo of myself and my ad-self in the future...!)

Here is the original (colorful!) version:

Inktober & Tenerife

Inktober is well under way and since I've been busy traveling I've been pretty distracted from participating... but I did make an attempt to do some ink sketches on the go! I was lucky enough to get a free ride to Tenerife to celebrate a 60th birthday and brought my ink brushes and sketchbook to the party with me. Here are some photos and a few of the ink-sketches done on the trip!

I did almost only animal sketches since I have never been to a zoo and got to go to one in Tenerife! It was a great experience to see a lot of animals I have only seen in pictures myself... though I didn't have the heart to look at the larger animals for too long... 

they just looked so sad.☔

They do have some wonderful spaces for the smaller- and medium-sized animals so it wasn't all bad. In addition they fund and support the conservation of nature and animals, hurray! My favorite exhibition was the anteaters because not only are they super weird and amazing... there were baby anteaters too!♥ I didn't get so see them running around like my bf did, but I did see them all snuggled up together taking an afternoon nap. 

I think I'm getting cavities just thinking about it...!!!

I end this post with a travel-doodle of my bf + myself.

I am a fashionista of the best kind as you can tell by my travel-wear ;-)

Thanks for looking!
