Hey, I'm Simon! Norwegian Artist working within games and animation. 1/3 of Rubarb, really like to draw! Also games! And onions 🧅 Dogs and cows are cool too 🐕🐄
We made a thing! Me and @gamedevjack.bsky.social tinkered with a prototype over christmas that is now a spooky roguelite game about throwing dice and feeding them to relics to defeat monsters! If you like any of those words this might be for you! Would love feedback! rubarbgames.itch.io/die-eater
Die Eater by Rubarb, Mortiperius, Torbs
Collect relics. Feed them dice. Survive gruesome monsters

I like the way the new artwork by @powersimon.bsky.social looks in the Steam wishlist. You too can admire it that way by pressing the shiny Wishlist button: store.steampowered.com/app/2026040/... (Or if you happen to be interested in #Roguelike / mining #indiegames with a demo on #Steam!)
Still at it with weekly live life drawing. Portrait yesterday! Brought ipad, recorded a timelapse 👨🎨🎥
Go go Dig Dig boom! 🙌⛏️

Chilling in the pool Some design work done while at Qvisten Animation for the film Bukkene Bruse. Most of the time we just played around with forms in blender rather than actually drawing out the concept art. Made for some nice gifs 🏖️
We did some character designs for the mascot of the Norwegian chocolate brand Stratos recently. Simon collaborating with @theahovind.bsky.social , delivering designs to Imagma animation (@imagmaanimation on IG) . Have a look! 🐮🐮🐮🍫🍫🍫
Simon experimenting with some funky new techniques at the local life drawing sessions in Oslo, namely pixel art! 👾 Drawn on location on an iPad in front of a live model in 1-7 minute poses. #lifedrawing #pixelart
Even more prototypes! Or rather.. A jam, in this case! Made for Ludum Dare 56, you play a desperate, depressed guy whose bedroom is invaded by cute, blue creatures At the end of his rope, you can only stomp 👀 Playable web version on itch: https://rubarbgames.itch.io/goober-stomper
Found these while digging up some other files today. I remember painting them for *something* personal , but completely forgot the context.. Oh well, still a decently cool bunch! 🩸🐔🧛😈
Couple of gouache still life paintings from today. Haven't done anything traditional in foreverrrr. Super soothing way to spend an hour or two ✨
Prototypes! Here's a fairly recent prototype playing with the premise "can we gamify doomscrolling?". In order to stay sane you must constantly like new posts, disable ads, swipe away push notifications. Playable web version on itch right now: https://rubarbgames.itch.io/the-feed
Dan the funding man recently secured 200,000 NOK from Viken Film Centre for his game Bargainer! He is already busy learning Godot. Wish him luck! @danwakefield.bsky.social https://vikenfilmsenter.no/tildeling/bargainer/
Breaking news! Rubarb is on Itch. ✨ We really love experimenting and playing with ideas in rough states.. *and* we believe in sharing! Warts and all 🧌 Cool guy Simon will dump all of his prototypes on Itch for you to see and try at https://rubarbgames.itch.io/
