Bio
Sindre Opsahl Skaare
Ryan is one hell of a dude. Great artist and great person all wrapped up in one nice shaggy package. Working from his concept art was a pure joy. Lovely style, charming characters and really clever and interesting designs. Amazingly creative and imaginative. Ryan is not a guy who is trailing after the recent cool thing, he's the one off in the front kicking ass at his own stuff. I really hope I'll have a chance to work with him in the future.

Ryan joined the project and set the new art style for the game, taking the visual quality to crazy new heights! It felt like every artist on the team worked their hardest to reach the level that Ryan had set for us, and the project really took off from there. It was always exciting to see the next new character concept he would come up with, bringing a lot of fun to the art meetings. Not to mention he provided such a variety of creativity even with the large amount of assets we had. Ryan is just an all around great guy to team up with, delivers excellent and appealing art, and would often provide insightful feedback to help me improve my own work. I'm extremely thankful I had the opportunity to work with him.
