New Children Book Cover - "Daruri Literare"

Another project with which I had a lot of fun was the creation of "Daruri Literare" cover. "Daruri Literare" is a collection of fairy tales, stories and poetry for primary school students. The client was Adina Zmarandescu, the director of ArsLibri publishing house. She gave me freedom of choice for the cover. The idea with I came up ("Daruri Literare" means in english "Literary Gifts") was a present box (of course, it wasn't a regular present box) from which comes out fairy tales characters (Alladin, Genie of the lamp, Little Red Ridding Hood, Puss-in-Boots). For the back cover I made a book from which a mysterious and magic mist scatters.

Making this cover was fun and rewarding and the collaboration with Adina was great, like usual.

The Design Of "X-tremTubBoating II" Flash Game

I had to recreate the atmosphere of X-tremeTubBoating flash game. This project was challenging because the artistic concept of the game it didn't came from scratch. The client (mofunzone.com) wanted to create something new for the X-trmeTubBoating II but, in the same time, the feeling of first version of the game should remain. After I inserted the icon elements of the fist version and always kept in mind the key element of the game - that is craziness and chaos - , the new game started to take shape. At the end we got a new game, more challenging for the player, with a strong bound with the previous version.

Challenging, crazy, funny... overall a rewarding game!

Try to play it. It's total madness. (Tip: stay on the rainbow! It's crucial, man! )

Sci-fi Scketches And Illustrations

I've looked through my portfolio and I gather some interesting sci-fi sketches and illustration made by me... some are older, some are newer. They are made, of course, in Corel Painter and Photoshop.

Guru.com Profile Updated

Today I've updated my Guru.com profile. For those who doesn't know, Guru.com is a freelancer jobs market, one of the largest. They recently done to their website a "face-lift", and now looks more attractive and more easy to use. They also made a very nice profile module, where freelancers can show their skills more easily than in the past.
So, I've made couple of changes to my Guru profile, uploaded some artworks, rewrite my resume and highlights, and now I hope to created a better impression to the employers. This is how my profile looks: MyGuruProfile

Abstract Again

2 abstract digital paintings (made for fun): "Bambus Tree"(first) & "Blue Yellow"(second). What I like about them is how the colors blend into each other.
