We gotta say, Anno1800 is one fabulous game. Kudos to Ubisoft Blue Byte and a big *thank you!* for letting us contribute a bit :)

The icing on the cake? Sharing that honor with our former office mates and beloved co-Earthlings of Airborn Studios

"Game of Thrones"-Spezialeffekte: Wie ein Berliner Künstler Burg Dragonstone baute - SPIEGEL ONLINE - Video

So it has begun again :)

Hope y'all enjoy the final season of #HBO's Game of Thrones. It's going to be really cool again for sure, and we're looking forward to seeing our works. Kudos to all the talented and awesome people who've been part in this crazy, fantastic journey!

Also, a big thank you to SPIEGEL ONLINE for dropping by our studio to chat a bit with Floris Didden about his works in the show.
You can watch it here https://spon.de/vgRFrZ (German commentary though)

"Game of Thrones" steht für atemberaubende digitale Effekte. Viele davon stammen aus deutschen Studios. In Berlin entstanden einige der ikonischen Schauplätze von Westeros.

How long has it been since then ... really, THAT long? Shame!

Even though it's old news, we had a very successful Unseen-Westeros exhibition in January and by now, all the signed artbooks and art prints are on their way!
Having several of the artists at our studio for a long, time consuming signing session (1000+ artbooks are a lot!) was a nice occasion to take some pictures. So there's this!

In other news: we haven't been idle these past few months! Some updates you can expect from us in the near future:

- new, exciting Anno 1800 key image
- Call of Duty #BlackOps4 ... a LOT of ... "that"
- something International Emmy Awards related
- Spectrum 2019 - we're going to be in it!
- conferences, places to meet us and lots more...

Looking forward to share some great news with you all in the near future and to a couple of successful and busy months!

Unseen Westeros Artbook - authorized by George R.R. Martin

People of earth!
Only 5 days remaining to support the exhibition of the unseen world of George R. R. Martin, created by the original artists of Game of Thrones and to secure tickets, prints and/or the artbook. Don't miss out! ;)

40 original `Game of Thrones` artists teamed up for 3 years to create an artbook about the pre-story of `A Song of Ice and Fire`.

OH HA! Our Facebook hub has been so quiet these past few months, you might have thought we were dead.
But we’ve just tugged ourselves in our cozy (meaning overheated) studio working on lots of different projects. And with Gamescom up ahead, we’re looking forward to a couple of sweet portfolio updates to show you guys (hurray!).

First up, and in case you’ve missed it, your fellow Karakters have been and are still working on some key artworks for the upcoming Anno 1800. We tip our hats to Ubisoft Blue Byte for their great work and are looking forward to the release (and more artworks)!

Shout-out to the crew who contributed in one way or another: Grzegorz Rutkowski (88grzes), Tobias Mannewitz, Nils Carstens Floris Didden and more (they're shy though) ;)

Portfolio update! Way too long overdue!!
[Spoiler warning!]

Like we did the previous years, we've been working on Game of Thrones pieces for season 7 as well. This time however, we have infiltrated not only the VFX but also the art department!

So take a look at these and while you're at it, come visit http://karakter.de/#/projects-post/game-of-thrones-7/ to check out more pieces and some insights from our artists as well ;)

Game of Thrones

Once again, we had the privilege to work on HBO's Game of Thrones.
This season however, we were not only working in VFX but also in the art department itself and hence are really looking forward to when #WinterIsHere on the 16th of July.
Watch the trailer, if you haven't done so yet :)

It may be the first day of Summer, but #WinterIsHere on 7.16.
Watch the new Game of Thrones Season 7 trailer.

In case you thought we're only doing game and film related projects, here's something different we worked on a few weeks ago: Fraunhofer IOSB asked us to create an action painting and the design for their "Arggonaut" project - a deep sea scanning device.
As you might know, we like tech stuff and hence had lots of fun with this project!
