INSPIRATION
Work by other artists I’m following from around the web
BROTHER // Business Ink Technology by Maurice Jochem
I found this on Behance recently. Maurice Jochem and his team created a vivid and almost visceral animation with this piece for Brother printers. At first, I didn’t know what I was looking at. Is it a futuristic factory, or some kind of robotics project? Then I started to see the ink droplets form and I started to wonder if it was some kind of alien or something.

Boneyard Circus
Here’s a great piece by the team at Machineast in Singapore. They developed this 3D logo for a Filipino goth rock band. I love the use of color, and the choice of typeface and filigrees is perfect for describing what the band is all about. I wish this piece was animated, but great work nonetheless!

I found this great illustration project by Florian Schommer recently. I love the aesthetic here; I especially love the muted color palette. His renderings of everyday objects perfectly straddles the line between flat 2D and dimensional 3D. Nice work! See Florian’s entire post... read more

Even though it’s a couple years old, I found this great video game trailer by Platige Image in Poland. I wanted to share because the visuals are incredible, and the Behance post takes us through the making of the animation in great detail. After watching it a couple times, it reminds me of Blade Runner in many ways, or even the Judge Dredd movies. They did a superb job creating a futuristic city and news broadcast presence. I also love how they slow down a key plot moment to almost a frozen moment in time, slow enough for us to see bullets streaming through the air. The realism of the characters is also fantastic. They actually physically scanned a woman in this clothing and pose for the shot. You can see all of that in the process shots (see below) Great job by this studio!

ENDEAVOR by Alexis Marcou
These kick-ass snowboard designs by Alexis Marcou show a real talent for hand-drawn illustration. I’ve never snowboarder before, but I was always fascinated at how each board became an artist’s canvas. The same holds true for skateboards. These particular boards will probably never see the slopes, but they exhibit a level of captivation that comes from the fusion of engineering and art. Marcou’s hand-work is precise and imaginative. I’m guessing the skulls and scenes are first drafted with pencil and illustration markers, then filled in with layers of watercolor and gouaches. You can see some of the process images below. Great work, Alexis! See all the artwork... read more
