Hello
My name is Halldór Andri Bjarnason but you can call me Dóri. I create visuals of all kinds. I am an Art Director, Visual Designer and Illustrator. I am currently working in the games industry based in Stockholm, Sweden. I am constantly pursuing new things and love to take on new and exciting challenges.
Below is a collection of selected works.
ART DIRECTION
Godsrule: War of Mortals
Godsrule is a browser-based cross-platform fantasy MMOG published by SEGA. The main goal is to develop and build your own town and train units to battle other players from the opposing faction.
I worked as an Art Director and Lead Artist on the project, as well as tackling UI/UX, animation, illustrating characters, concepts and in-game icons.
The project has been discontinued and is no longer online.

Tiny Places
In Tiny Places, players guide Napoleon the Chameleon through a series of platform-puzzles. Using only Napoleon’s super-elastic and sticky chameleon tongue to swing from peg to peg, players need to avoid dangerous obstacles and dodge falling objects while collecting stars and points as they complete mind-twisting puzzles to help Napoleon escape from all the Tiny Places he is placed in.
I worked as an Art Director on the project as well as illustrating much of the artwork, UI and in game assets.
The game is no longer available in the iOS app store.
