Poor small duck...

I put this image up to my deviantart account the other day and it really turned out pretty much the way I wanted it to… so I’m adding it here, too.

“Just a frog” Just a frog by Dennis Treder

I got the inspiration for this while playing with my son building a lego-duck for him, only using two bricks(like in the picture above). That felt very abstract to me and I wondered how to build a frog the most abstract way, and my solution was: use a single piece of green lego.

That made me wonder, whether the abstract characters from a low-res pixel world are able to recognize each other…

Hope you like it :)

My tribute to April O' Neil

You rock, April!

I’ve never really liked the stile of the traditional cartoon April, but I love the touch the cg movie TMNT gave her. She became a fighter herself and I love the overall design. Is it really only me that liked the latest TMNT movie? It pretty much sucked here in germany and when I went to cinema to see it the woman at the checkout called through a mirophone “room 5, turtles please” cause we were the only ones going to see it and they had to run it just for us ;)

What do you think of the movie? I can’t be the only one who thought it was great! Aren’t there other people raving about it? Is no one else telling their friends to make watching it a priority? It definitely should be! Films like this don’t come along every month.

Oh yes – the picture: I always wanted to try my take on April, hope you like it! Comments and feedback would be really appreciated. If you like it, please share!

Merry christmas, ye scurvy pirates!

Pirate Golf Adventures wished you a happy Christmas!

I wish you all the best for Christmas!

I’m somewhat busy at the moment doing ‘personal stuff’, but after the Christmas holidays I’ll continue working at my next flash game. It’s pretty hard to find the time for it, cause it’s usually not more than 1 hour per day after work, and on weekends usually 0 hours/day.

My next game will be some sort of fun addicting endless-game where the gameplay keeps getting faster and harder the longer you play till you finally screw up. That is because it took forever to build the few levels in Pirate Golf Adventure and I often hear people complaining that it’s too short. So I will go for the “not-so-unique-levels-but-much-more-of-them” way. Hope you like it more this time ;)

So have a great time!

ps: If you don’t know why the giant bird seems so surprised: ‘just wonders where caribo got the presents from while sitting on his back ;)

Finally new content at my homepage

written by Dennis on December 16th, 2009 @ 08:01 PM

External Link: Website of Dennis Treder, development, illustration, flash games

Now that my old homepage hasn’t seen any update since a year or so I finally decided that it’s time for some static content that won’t need any updates at all.

What came out is now my own private web business cart. Pure static content, displaying some links to other sites I’m subscribed to. So one less that needs updates…

What do you think? Check it out at dennistreder.de

Moonship - I'm going to finish this one somewhen!

moonship

Moonship is a picture I started drawing nearly a year ago – while trying to figure out the direction pirategolf should take. I never really finished it but now that found it again on my harddrive I think it works quite well and I’m going to finish it somewhen in the future…

Little Pirate

Little Pirate

This concept was drawn on a Nintendo DS using the fantastic homeprew “colors”. This entry features an animation showing how the little guy was drawn plus a wallpaper I generated afterwards on the pc.
