I made a cold and snowy postcard this year. I wanted to share it with you and wish you a Merry Christmas. This has been a busy year and it just keep getting better. Next year I'm going to add 3D illustrations to my portfolio and I'm looking forward to share it with you. </div>

<span style="line-height: 1.4;"><span style="background-color: transparent;">This year I've been working on a game version of the educational book "Monstertrubbel" (monster trouble) by </span><a href="http://www.askunge.se/" style="background-color: transparent;" target="_blank">Askunge</a><span style="background-color: transparent;">. It was a direct followup on my previous </span><a href="http://dannieborg.blogspot.se/2012/06/covers.html" style="background-color: transparent;">work from 2012</a><span style="background-color: transparent;">. Now that the game has been released on the digital platform </span><a href="http://digimundus.se/" style="background-color: transparent;" target="_blank">Digimundus</a><span style="background-color: transparent;"> (currently only in swedish), I can finally show you some of the content!</span></span></div>

<span style="line-height: 1.4;">The map was a really important part of the project. Not only was it supposed to bring the imaginary world of Micklabo alive, but it was also to be used for setting the ambience, style and color scheme of the rest of the backgrounds, narrative stills and details of the game. </span></div>

Here at home we've had a white christmas and I'm certain a few snowballs were thrown. I've learned a lot this year, and hopefully it will show in future works. It is my intent to show you more sketches and work in progress in 2015.<br />

November already. It is days like these I rather sit at home. When I made this illustration I remembered what it was to walk to school on a grey and rainy day. If the wind comes in it can be really difficult to hold that umbrella... And when at home I would be watching the water run down the windows and dream of sunnier days, or long for the snow to begin to fall, because I enjoy that too!</div>

A bit late with posting this month, nevertheless today it is getting done! This illustration technically differs from the others in several ways. First, the background is minimalistic, which is not really something I typically do. I really enjoy details, but here I wanted a much more clear silhouette of what was going on. Also, I painted much of the different colors and and textures on separate papers and later put it together in photoshop, so it was a bit of an experiment because I really didn't want it to look digitally painted. In the end it was much like my initial sketches and ideas and I was happy with the result.</div>

August. With only four months left of the year, I painted this Mountain Ash tree, (Sorbus Aucuparia, or "Rönn" in swedish), as a typical sign of the summer getting closer to its end. </div>

June is one of my favorite months of the year. It's the start of the summer and many of my best childhood memories belong to this season of the year. Exploring deep forests, finding lakes to swim in or try ones luck at fishing. Climbing trees and rocks, running and playing in mossy forests...</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
At this time of year the forests in Sweden have a special kind of light I've always been fond of. Warm, golden and mystic. John Bauer is one of my all time favorite illustrators to capture the essence of this almost magical feeling, and much of my work is inspired from it. This was one of the first drafted illustrations I made last year. I had wanted to work on an illustration like this for a long time when I made it.</div>

As in all the paintings I've shown and will show you this year, they follow a mathematical theme of numbers connected with the months portrayed. The ideas were worked up together with Mirvi Unge Thorsén, and all 12 illustrations I will show this year has been published in the form of a calendar for learning the months by the swedish publishing company Askunge. I am excited to see them being used in schools and I hope many children will benefit from it and have a great time finding the details in them that make each month so specific!</div>

So it's may already, and here is illustration 5/12. The Timemaker. I had such fun making this piece, learning a lot about creating values, depth and overlapping as it was progressing. Out of the 12, this was among the first to be finished, but it was also the one taking the longest time to paint.</div>

Folklore and little people. I made this for a self promotional spread in Illustratörcentrum's 2014 catalogue (yet to be printed) and will also be printed as postcards later this year. The only regret is the poor quality of the scan. In my experience a photo reproduction is a better choice than that of a scan of watercolor/gouache and I try to do that as often as I can.<br />
<br />
This depicts a wight on a rat and I'm using it as a study for a bigger painting still in progress. Looking forward to show it to you.<br />

I've been working on a fairly small painting lately (17x28 cm / 6.7x11 in). It will later serve as a reference for a larger painting on the same subject.</div>

Last weekend i attended the second <a href="http://northernlightworkshop.com/" target="_blank">Northern Light Workshop</a> with <a href="http://muddycolors.blogspot.se/p/jesper-ejsing.html" target="_blank">Jesper Ejsing</a> and <a href="http://www.eva-widermann.de/" target="_blank">Eva Widermann</a> as instructors. The focus was on character design, so I took the opportunity to polish my ideas of a cookie monster for a children's tale I'm working on together with <a href="http://www.thessjarvheden.se/" target="_blank">Therese Järvheden</a>.</div>

After making a larger sketch of the pose I want, I refine the image on a new piece of paper and start coloring. This day I wanted to try painting directly on a toned piece of paper.</div>
