The Trail of Camulos

Today I have not been working on any pictures. All my time has gone to setting up my DeviantArt profile and adding some of my works there, so if you want prints of my works you should visit my DeviantArt page. Clicky

The other thing I have done today is to promote my main project for potential artists to do the illustrations of it. My main project is a longer 3 book story that I want to be made into a graphical series, and in the future a moving picture anime or something like that :P The story is about a 21 year old boy from Norway who ends up moving to Japan to do his Education at a University there. The first part of the story (the first of the 3 books) is about his new life there, why he moved there and the people he meets there. The second part of the story is going into more adventure and action style, and the third part (book) is a future story taking place 150 years after the first two.

I will tell more about this project when there is more progress. Right now there are 4 different artists that are doing some sample works so that I can easier choose the one that suits the story best.

Ah… let me find a picture for this post, I don’t have any concept art for this project that are ready to be published I think, but will try to have something ready for the next post about this project.

For your enjoyment I have found this in my picture database:

Today I have tested out some mask methods by going through some tutorials; as a result I used some of the things I learned to make this. 2 pictures were used, the first one is of a sculpture at a school here in Kristiansand, and the second picture is of a street-art piece in Oslo.

My first abstract work that I actually was a little contented with. The base of the picture is a picture of a girl and a picture of a fence, by using filters in photoshop I got the cubism effect, and adding a few more elements after gave me the result. Then I found 7 different color palettes that worked fine and a last one were I found colors that not necessarily would fit together (the 3 in the second row)… I am not certain yet of how I want these to be when I fit them on a wall at some point.

I was really going to work on one of the other projects today, but when I opened any of the files I ended up just staring at them. So instead I found some cloud pictures, some art from a freebee zone of a website and started testing out some of the different blur methods in photoshop. I also used 3 different pictures of the same clouds with different shutter time and used the lights and darks from the different versions of the picture. I still didn’t feel too fond of the final image, but I will post it anyway. I think I will retry a cloud picture at some other time to see if I can get that dramatic effect were the lights and darks are more extreme.

Inva_zion was a project were i wanted to see what i could do using a series of pictures of poles and spires, the 4 i went with is the ones you see here and i used the head of a lightpole for the “ufo”. A fun project that at some points were really difficult to get right, the assembly and colors didnt seem to be right, but i thing the result was rather good.
This is one of the projects i hope i can take with me for a future exhibition.

The Quart Festival went bankrupt in 2008, it was bought and then it was revived in 2009 by the new owners. I am the Editor and a journalist for a small cutural web-mag. so i went to the festival to take pictures and write articles. The picture i present here from the festival is probably not the best, but it is to demonstrate how close you get to the artists as an press-photographer.

Black Eyed Peas had probably one of the most spectacular shows under the festival and was also the second most visited with around 11 to 12 thousand. (Slash and friends had 18 000)

The Quart will probably have a huge minus this year but it is the new owners first year and will probably need 3-4 festivals done before they will be able to make an festival without major problems.

More pictures from the festival can be found here: Clicky (Norwegian site btw)

This is the first adition to a 4 piece work which is influenced by and will have a feel of summer, women, beach and party.
“Summer Ladies” is not necessarily the final name of the project, just something i use when telling about the project here at the blog. The 4 pieces for this project will be 2 on black background and 2 on white, as long as i dont find that other colors will be better. This project along with 3-4 others i work on will if everything goes well, be parts of a future exhibition. But for now i will need time to work on the projects.

This is the first adition to the project “Afteryou” a series of works that are only being inspired by the two word sentence “After you”
The goal is to have a 4 piece work with 4 different results from the phrase.
