A new option has been added to the menu, that makes it possible to view all drawings in the three galleries together. :) It's been 6 months since last update already and I don't know what happended to those months. I have a lot of projects I'd love to continue working on, but when I have an hour for myself I'm usually too tired to do anything but sleep.
Anyway, I hope you're doing well, and I wish you a happy new year! :)

I won't let another year pass by before I update this site again, but even if I don't have any new drawings to add yet I can tell you that I'm more active and creative than ever before. While I'm currently on maternity I have all the time in the world to work on my sparetime projects. For instance I'm learning 3D in Blender, making Apps for my mobile phone with Google App Inventor, doing graphics for these Apps, doing bookcover art, crocheting, baking bread and cakes and cleaning the apartment. But first of all I'm taking care of my wonderful little daughter, who is 7 weeks old now. :-)
Despite the lack of sleep at night, I get a lot of things done in the daytime.
In my last update I mentioned a drawing that was almost done. It still is almost done but for now it is downgraded, since other projecs are more exciting at the moment.

At last I pulled myself together and implemented a long needed and much better way of viewing the images in my galleries. The fancybox. So now you can scroll, use arrowkeys or simply click your mouse through all of the images.
Furthermore I've added a small white arrow icon in the pixel galleries to show which ones that contains animation.

Since the blog section had nothing to do with a real blog, I've decided to merge it with the news section. I guess a blog is supposed to be updated frequently, but I hardly ever wrote anything there. So when you visit my page in the future there's only one place to look for updates.

On a sidenote I can reveal that I've been working on a time consuming piece for sometime now, and I'm currently refining the last details so it shouldn't be long until it's ready to get out here. :-)

So, I just wanted to let you know I'm still around. I've been silent for a very long time now, but with good reason I guess. First reason is of course my work, that has taken up a lot of my time, leaving me uninspired for a long while. Second reason is that I've lately been pondering upon a new adventure game idea and I'm slowly making progress with it. I have a bunch of concept art lying about but I've decided not to make it public yet because this project will take me years to finish. It's more fun for everyone if the details about the game is revealed when the game is closer to getting finished. Anyway that's what I think.
The third reason for the long silence is that I'm a mother now for a beautiful little girl.

So I've pretty much got my hands full for the moment as you can see. :-)
But I've also included a small update to my gallery. Mostly old stuff from 2010 that may have deserved a little more work. But again I realized I will never get the time to do it so it's better to just get it out.
Enjoy.

I'm currently working on various projects, that are all time consuming. One of these projects is a slide show for the Amstrad CPC. So far I've done 3 images, but I need at least 12, so as you can see I'm nowhere near the finish line. I'm also working on a larger digital drawing. Since most of my drawings are "quickies", I think my gallery need more of the time consuming pieces.
Last but not least, I'm working on a cartoon in Flash. Something I actually started working on in 2008, but then I got lazy and put it away. I recently found the flowchart for the cartoon in a drawer and picked up on the project again.

I've spent the whole day fixing up blueangel.dk. When I first launched the new site at the end of 2007, I had used a lot of ugly browser hacks, which of course meant that the site didn't work with newer browsers. Back then I was too lazy and probably also too inexperienced to fix it, but today I finally pulled myself together and cleaned up my messy code. The browser hacks have been removed, and I've re-coded the site to the best of my current abilities.
I know that the changes I've made to this site is hard to notice unless you compare the two versions, but users of e.g. Chrome should be able to see a major improvement now.

Finally I pulled myself together and updated this site.
So enjoy the 3 newest additions in the pixel gallery.

I've updated the pixel gallery with 3 pictures!

I'd also like to announce, that LuBlu Entertainment (the boyfriend and I), have released our 3rd mobile game! It took us 1 year and 1 month to complete, so a lot of work has been put into it.

You can read a lot more about it at www.lublu.dk and www.ukkosjourney.com
A free, adwrapped version of the game can be downloaded from both sites!

I will make this a short announcement, because I'm really tired.
I've updated the Pixel Gallery with 3 fairly recent images, and the Digital Gallery got updated with 1. Enjoy :-)

I've just discovered, that Fading Shades has been chosen as Pick of the Month at the AGS Games site. Considering that it was my first attempt at creating an adventure game, I never thought something like that could happen, so of course I'm very happy.
If you haven't done so already, you can download the game here. (37.1 Mb )

These past months have been spent working on Lublu Entertainment's 3rd mobile game, and we are SO close to the finish line. We have both reached the point where we just want to be done with it, but despite of that, we don't want to rush things either. There will be versions of the game for two resolutions; 240x320 and 176x208. The 240 version is nearly done, so at this moment, I'm preparing the graphics for the 176 version.
You can follow the progress on www.lublu.dk.

Because of work, and spare time mobile game development, there probably won't be any updates in my galleries until we're done with the game. But I'm sure that the game itself will make up for the dorment galleries.

It's been a while, but here is the two most recent pixels from me.
I'll write more later, when I'm not so lazy :-)

Happy new year!
It has been a while since I last uploaded anything, but as you might have guessed, I've been busy with work.
It has been a very long time since I updated my Digital Gallery. In fact, I haven't updated it for a whole year!
I'll try to be a bit more productive this year. So here is my first upload of 2009.
"Returning home" is deeply symbolic, and this should reflect in the drawing, making it both beautiful and sad at the same time.

As the headline says, I've fixed some minor details on this site.

- The menu buttons has been changed slightly.

- The 'Gallery' button was removed since it was not really a button.

- The left menu boxes now have headlines.

- The latest drawings have now been aligned a bit more precise, since they were added in a rush some time ago.

I don't remember the last time I spent a whole weekend painting just for fun. All I can say is that I don't do this often enough!
This weekend resulted in two pixel creations (Flea Hawker & Monster). Both time consumers but I really enjoyed making them.

I had a little fun with pixels again :-)

Wow. It's been a while since last update. Sorry about that.
Here is a little update.
About two weeks ago I got a job, and is now working as a Multimedia Designer. I must admit I never expected to get a job this soon since I'm usually never this lucky.
Much of my spare time is currently spent on doing graphics for the 3rd title of Lublu Entertainment,
So this means that although I don't upload much on my site, It doesn't mean that I'm no longer creative – It's quite the opposite :-)

Another pixel done in MS Paint.

I had a little fun tonight with MS Paint. :-P

Finally, after 3 years (on/off) of working on this game, I can finally release it! I never thought I would be done with it, but now I am. The game is free, and you can download it here.

Yes it's true. I've resumed work on Fading Shades. You probably thought that would never happen huh ;-)

All graphics are now done, so at this moment I'm trying to get the sounds and music in place.

I can't wait to be done with it :-)

Two years have passed since I moved to Aalborg to study. I can't believe how fast they went by.

A few days ago, it was time for the final exam, which I passed, so now I can call myself Multimedia Designer. Not that I think of it as a greater glory or anything. But nevertheless, it's nice to be done with school.

This also means that until I find a job, I have all the time in the world to work on my projects. =)

Here in Denmark, summertime came early this year. I couldn't welcome it more. Along with the brighter days and warmer weather, my desire to be creative automatically grows.

The last two months were spent on developing the final exam project. So there has been absolutely no time for creativity, which of course bothered me a lot, especially because of the weather being extremely fine. In a few weeks the final exam is up, and if I pass I am done with school.

I have a lot of projects lying about that I can't wait to pick up again, like my small adventure game: "Fading Shades" (which has been mentioned before, I know), which will get top priority.

I'm also working on a cartoon in Flash, but it will probably take me a long time to finish. So don't expect too much. I still need to figure out how to get them on display here anyway.

I plan to do a lot of studies of various things. But let's see how far I get. It's always easier to talk about it than to actually get it done =)

I played around with a short pixel animation this afternoon.
I'm working on a way to put my Flash animations on display on this site, but it's not as simple as I thought it would be. Hopefully I'll figure it out soon.

Yup, another update :-)
I'm highly creative at the moment, and currently I'm focused on pixel graphics and making silly cartoons in Flash.
Today I spent the whole day creating a cartoon in Flash, and was really surprised to see how short it was at the end of the day.. Animation sure takes a lot of time!

I played around with a pixel animation this afternoon. It's not that good, but it was fun to do anyway. I consider it practice :-P

School work is yet again the reason to why I’m not uploading anything at the moment.
I’m currently working on the specialisation part of my education: Game development in ‘Macromedia Flash’. So I’ve spent a lot of time getting to know the application and the syntax used in ActionScript. At the same time I’m planning on making a small game in Flash, which I’m slowly developing as I get better and better.
To practice, I’ve also created a few stickmen cartoons, which I might put on display here :-P

These last many weeks, it feels like my life has been put on pause.
I don’t have the energy or the desire to do anything.
Almost every day is dominated by this laziness and it drives me crazy.
The only thing I manage to get done is baking.
So that’s what I’ve been up to, baking; bread, muffins, cakes and all sorts of tasty treats. Something my boyfriend enjoys very much :-)
I know this is probably just a typical winter mood, but that doesn’t make it easier to cope with.

The exams are finally over for now, and I managed to get through. I’m not really that good at exams, but grades are not that important to me either. Anyway this means that I can focus on drawing again now that this burden has been taken off.
I’m drawing mostly with pencils at the moment, trying to practise drawing humans from reference photos. Since it IS practise, I’m not sure how much of it I’ll put in the gallery. Only the ones I like best will end up there, so be patient :-)

2007 was not the most productive year for me, but hopefully that will change this year.
As mentioned before, I’ve been very busy with school and I’m currently preparing for the exams that will be held in a few days.
I have tons of unfinished works lying about that I hope to continue working on when I get the time.

I get to draw a lot these days. Mostly minor drawings and sketches but still it is far better than not drawing at all :-)
Three updates for the pixel gallery!

Now that I have this brand new site, I better keep it updated frequently ;-)
Actually, I’m back in the mood again where I spend some time every day drawing either with pencil or digital. – Or both :-)

I have a bunch of half finished work lying about on my computer that I hope to finish before the end of the year.

Unfortunately the ever so time consuming school will eat away the majority of next month I’m afraid, so there probably won’t be any updates for a while.

This also means however, that Fading Shades will not be done within this year as I know I promised :-( I simply haven’t got the time..

Welcome to the new and improved BlueAngel.dk!
I’ve worked very hard to make this site better. Here’s a list of things that have been done:


- The Digital gallery & Speedpaint gallery have been merged into one. New drawings have been added, a few removed, and some drawings has been enhanced slightly.

- The Colourizing gallery & Work In Progress gallery and their contents have been removed.

- Date tags have been corrected, since some of them were wrong for some reason.

- The Pencil gallery has been dusted off. Some has been removed, a lot has been added.

- A new gallery has emerged: The pixel art gallery, since I’ve started doing graphics for mobile games, I’ve gotten interested in doing small pixel animations and stuff for mobile phones. Later on I might do themes for mobile phones too :-)

- I’ve added a blog, since I figured the news page is a bad place to write all the excuses for why I don’t upload anything. Everything related to what I’m doing instead of uploading new stuff to my page, goes there, and the news page is for news and uploads only :-)


I would love to receive feedback to the new BlueAngel.dk, if you have suggestions that I haven’t thought of :-)

This weekend I did something equally crazy. When I first started out drawing digitally many, many years ago I never kept track of all my drawings. When it was time to buy a new computer, I was too lazy to move my old files with it. Instead the drawings were copied onto backup discs and forgotten over time.
Since I’ve switched computer quite a few times over the years, I suddenly realized how a lot of my old drawings had gone “missing”.
My project this weekend was to find them all on every single backup disc I had lying about, and recollecting them on my computer, and at the same time getting rid of the doubles.
It was both fun and weird to see the “lost” drawings again. The best part though is to see how I have improved since I started out :-)

I did something crazy today. Something I would never even consider doing simply because it is so time consuming, and I’m usually a bit too lazy.

The thing is; I have a lot of drawings. Until today, they were all in a monstrous pile, stuffed into a ring binder much too small to contain them.
The pile contains drawings that are more than 10 years old, as well as newer drawings all the way up to today. It’s mostly doodles done in school, but also drawings that have been worked on a bit more.

Now they’re all organised! - Or as close as. Since I rarely signed my drawings back then, I had no chance of putting them in the correct order. Over the years they had been shuffled together and mixed up quite good.

Smaller drawings and doodles have been cut out and pasted on a fresh piece of paper, along with others of the same kind. I think it looks cool. And the best part is that now it is possible to view my drawings without having to take them out of the ring binder one by one.
