Samples of my work on Age of Conan - Hyborian Adventures, an online roleplaying game developed by Funcom and released in 2008 for the PC. My work consisted mainly of armor, clothing and character modeling. I was also part of the expansion team, Rise of the Godslayer, released in 2010.
Rise of The Godslayer - Campaign banners
Campaign banners for Rise of The Godslayer. This was a team effort. Most of the character modeling, rigging, posing, lighting and rendering was done by me, but other team members contributed with the background (Torstein Nordstrand), the logo, the weapon model (Mons Erik Bjørge), the blue particle effect (Torstein Nordstrand), Conan's head model (by Blur Studios), Conan's headband (Mons Erik Bjørge), Conan's armor (re-used from Mike Kiesslings in-game model) and paintover/postwork in Photoshop for the final images (Per Øyvind Haagensen). Art direction and concept by Stian Dahlslett.

Aquilonian Heavy Armor concept
One of the few concepts I made for Age of Conan (most of my time was spent on 3D modeling). The design is heavily based on ancient Roman armor. A new helmet design was made (inset) based on several different concepts by Didrik Tollefsen that was cut and pasted into a new design.
