Johan Peitz - Let's make SOMETHING

Twitter portrait

I really wanted to get 250 Twitter followers before last year ended so I made a little contest where I promised to make a pixel portrait of my 250th follower. As a lot of people mentioned right away, this was not the best of ideas as it lead to people not following me until I had 249 followers. Oh well, at least I got a few new ones, I'll make a better scheme next time. :)

Anyway! I eventually did get a 250th follower and here's the source photo he sent. Hoping to do one portrait, I was suddenly making four so I lowered the resolution some.

Here's the result:

Maybe if these guys decide to release a record they can use it as cover image. Oh, and luckily their shirt had different colors so I could use that for the background.

And Happy New Year!

The Muppet Bros

When my friend Andreas Qassim asked me if I wanted to do a piece for his newly started blog about Scandinavian Muppet Art, I wasn't late to say yes! I've always found the Muppets to be nothing short of amazing so it was an honor to do something that would actually be displayed somewhere.

Let's cut to the chase. I decided to do something video gamey, since that's what I usually do. So I give you: The Muppet Bros! YEEEAH!!!

I really enjoyed making this one, and hope to have the time to do more. If I'm not incorrect, the picture will be live on their blog today as well.

Lastly, here's the progress of how the image came to be. As you can see I was first aiming for a very classic scene from Super Mario Bros, but finally settled for a blend of the Muppets stage and elements from many of the SMB games.

XMas pixels

I really wanted to start making a xmas themed little game today, but unfortunately I didn't get any inspiration whatsoever in terms of gameplay. So I sat down and pixeled instead and this is the result. I give you - violent santa with jetpack:

What do you think I should do with it? Suggestions are very welcome!

Old but gold

I was rummaging through some old folders when I suddenly stumbled on my first attempts at Flash! Should be early 2007. It's two interactive movies with some game-like interactions. Please enjoy - I did! :D

Oh,  you'll have to click each one in order for keys to work.

The Toaster

Fire deadly slices of toast towards an unseen and unknown enemy! Move with the arrows and fire with space. If your current toast gets burned, you wont be able to move until you've fired it.

Toaster Attack

Toasters are attacking your home town! Move your tank with the arrow keys and fire with the up arrow. Destroy as many toasters as you can! Shoot enough toasters for a nice animation. :)

Next version of the JP logo…

... looks like this:

I didn't like the how the lines on the side weren't really part of the whole thing so I reworked it some more into what you see above. I'm quite happy with the result. Thanks for the feedback!
