A collection of icons which I create in Cinema 4D and then bring into Illustrator CS4, where I turn the entire scene into vectors. Time consuming… yes, but it reduces the file and makes it customizable for use. I submit these to iStock where I get a portion of the proceeds. The images are a little dry and sterile, but the process is cathartic. Click the page icons to see others in the same collection.

This is a final render of a collection of 3D cultural icons I’m working on for istock.com. The idea is to produce a collection of elements that could work well for a publications art director. Lot’s of white space for text with just a hint of color, almost hand-tinted.

This is a series of 4 targets + arrows icon/illustration I’m doing for
istock.com.

I concept out the piece on a sketchpad, then I use Adobe Illustrator™ to draw the outline of the elements. From there the ‘elements’ are imported into Maxon Cinema 4D™, modeled then rendered. The rendering then goes back to Illustrator for tracing and color

The result looks very convincing as a 3D rendering but is in fact vector. The look is stylized and iconic. Great for raw editorial and esoteric concept layouts.
