Just finished a load of new personal artwork, been playing some with merging 3d with 2d elements to help give my 3d works more texture and small chaotic detail.

Excellent blend of technology and organics in four great technically skilled abstract pieces of artwork.

Why do these collectively (except for the last one) make me think of "BELLY BUTTON!"

Care to share exactly what the 2d/3d merging was?

Cool stuff!

Yeah ! Very nice job Neil. As usual.
I appreciated (And still appreciate) your scripts too.
The first image is particulary weird and disturbing, as you wrote elsewhere.

Keep up the good job! :)

Thanks to everyone for your comments, I really do appreciate it (had a bit of a bad day today, was nice to come home and see some people enjoyed the artwork).

Yes it was, and yes, the version on my site works in r5 even though it's an r4 script.

Well, mainly I've been starting these as sketches, then bringing the sketch into photoshop and painting overtop a quick color study to setup the colors, mood and atmosphere before I start building. Then I'll go into 3d, make the basic shapes, then bring that into photoshop and start adding layers of dirt, grime etc overtop the simple geometry. Then I go back to 3d and start refining the shapes, adding details, rerendering, replacing the low detail 3d elements in my photoshop file, refining the 2d parts a bit more, keep going back and forth refining till I get the result I'm after. Basically I'm looking at combining the spontaneity and happy accidents of painting with the more refined, slower process of 3d.

The next batch I'm working on will be of a similar style, although I hope to make the 3d elements even more detailed and complex. Up until the point the detail starts interfering with the mood of course, there's a happy line in there somewhere and these works are my first push towards that line.

great work!! just a great feeling to all of them, i actually like the 2 one best.

you have really inspired me to maybe think about 2D elements a bit more when working on 3D stuff. good luck in finding that line, when you do please tell us all where it is. ;)

I love good abstract work!!
