Hi there!
My name is Ørjan Svendsen and im a concept artist working for a small game company called Sarepta Studio in norway. I spend my days drawing textures and boring props at work, so i figured if im ever gonna get anywhere i need to do it on my free time! From this day on im gonna post a minimum of 5 studies/sketches a week, every week. If i cant even do this, then i might as well be a texture artist for the rest of my life!
Im starting today, and you can watch it all on my livestream! Hope ill see you there. Beware though, even though im a working artist i have a LONG way to go. So dont be disappointed!

Heres todays spoils! 2 hour speedpaint of Naomi Scott. This is the first time i have ever used the soft round. HARD! But i can absolutely see its advantages over the hard one. Suddenly everthing is like... soft.
Ref can be found here.
Lovely protrait, great piece of work.
And im done! Spent about 1 hour 40 mins. Thanks to those who joined me on my stream!

Ouuuh my first fan! =P I will keep streaming for sure, but i had a lot of small shit to do yesterday, so there were many breaks in my painting session. Don't wanna stream with constant 10 minute breaks :-/
Will also take a break today since there's crunch time at work and my hand is getting really tired. Dont wanna get tendonitis again!
I need to learn how to use soft and hard brushes to create depth, but im failing hard at it. Any tips? Suggestions to what i should paint that will help me?
For today, here is a crappy LOTR movie still.
Trolololoooo
Lovin the goblin study. Keep up the good work, Örjan :D
From imagination today. Had a hard time with this. Totally changed it the last hour or so and it finally came out okay. Learned quite a bit though! Trying to push the soft vs. hard thing.
Took about 7 hours INCLUDING doing the dishes, making dinner, eating dinner, watching some cooking show with my girlfriend and washing clothes. So i guess maybe 3-4 hours of painting time.
Didnt have too much time today, so i did some shitty anatomy sketches. I suck at this time frame! I think im best at 2-3 hour stuff. Any more and the progress starts going really slow and any less and i dont have time to get my shapes in order. MOAR PRACTISE!
Im not saying im good at bodies, but its pretty clear that im shitty at faces. O well.. at least i know what to work on. And hands! And feet! GAH! Spent about 1 hour 30 mins on this. Half of it on the shitty face
Some more quick ones
Quick monster-speed. about 30 mins. I havent been lazy! Ive been working on a client piece. Slowly trying to slip into freelance, but its hard when i work 8 hours a day. Ill try to keep up both the work and the studies!
A baby and a goat. I couldnt finish the goat, cause i didnt have enough RAM...... :D
5 hours for the baby and 2 and a half for the goat. Baby is huge, cause its my friends and he wanted it printed.
Was swamped with work last week but im back on track now! 2 hour movie still today.
Awesome stuff man! That things with all the spit flying out of it's mouth is crazy.
Comp sketches for the Diablo 3 contest. I wanna make this image awesome, so please hit me with anything and everything suggestion and crit-wise! HALP!
Im sorry i havent been posting recently, but im currently in the hospital with a crushed ankle. Im an active snowboarder and miscalculated the speed i needed for a pretty big jump. I hate landing on the knuckle, so i always take a little more speed. This time, however, i took alot more speed, jumped over both knuckle and landing and landed flat. Even though i landed perfectly straight on my legs, my ankle just got crushed under the pressure.
So, if anyone was wondering, now you know! Ill be back to posting in a few weeks though!
